I am reading this book right now, and feel so inspired every time I pick it up. It’s one of those books you wish you could carry around in your pocket, or inscribe it into your brain. Great for book club, or a gift for a friend whom you love.
ON PROMO
I was strolling around Jcrew this weekend, and happened to see this fabulous tee. I feel in love; however, my pocketbook did not. I was pleased to see that it went on promo, along with all the rest of their knits & tees. Love this one.
Love these tanks; they’re comfortable enough to practice any type of exercise!
I’m back and forth with the studded luck. I think Victoria Beckham did a nice job with these jeans. Not sure I would purchase them for myself, but I certainly think they would be hot on someone.
A side note: Net-A-Porter has free ship-back.
This whole look is just doing it for me. Perfect for a holiday party!
LOVE
“Our designers are obsessed with this little beret—the epitome of French schoolgirl-chic (très magnifique), knitted in a supersoft cashmere and merino wool blend.”
I am slightly obsessed with sponges, rocks, candles + good soap! This little doo-dad will be the perfect addition to my personal collection. Agave is soft, unlike a loofah.
Make sure to check out the whole site!
I adore this dress, and it a piece you can wear more than once. It’s all about using the right accessories to add the perfect amount of flare, or not. Plus, the price is right!
I’ve been intrigued by the menswear oxford trend for a while and might have to take the plunge with these. I love them paired with rolled up skinny jeans or with chunky tights, a feminine floral skirt and boyfriend blazer.
I am not easily seduced by a handbag. I don’t like bells and whistles, chains, studs, flashy logos or status totes. Which brings me to these gorgeous specimens from Fleabags. I was flipping through the new issue of Elle when I spotted them. Super eco friendly, exceptionally chic, roomy and sturdy. It fullfills one of favorite fashion personas ‘I live in Brooklyn and summer in Maine’. Limited Edition, made in New York by hand.
I think these are such a cool, hip version of a snow boot without dragging out those ubiquitous UGGs.
Low-heel, bendable, traditional clog boot with sheepskin shaft.
Lined with shearling for warmth, WATER repellant leather
They are perfect with some thick tights and a skirt or a plaid cape and dark skinny jeans…sigh! I love it when comfort and practicality meet in one hip package.

I love getting dressed up but I really hate the idea of special occasion items…if I buy something I love I want to wear it all the time! This fits the bill perfectly…It’s cotton, washable, the bubble gives it a bit of an edge and you can throw leggings, a belt, and a cardigan with it as soon as the weather turns cool.
For Fall/Winter 2009 Lizzie Fortunato takes to the open road. Inspired by the textures and patterns of the American West, the pieces are designed for the sophisticated city girl who’s packed up her urban lifestyle in favor of her boyfriend’s Harley, roadside diners and great adventure. The rebellious “Long May You Run” Collection features hand-covered leather beads, crystal studded collars, and hand-embroidered bandanna style necklaces.
Memories of Red Rocks Necklace is simply stunning. Fashioned out of suede, leather, brass chain, coral and blue african glass beads, metal and bone beads, & crystal chandelier pieces.
A truly unique statement piece!
these too…
As I was folding my laundry tonight, it reminded me that I want to cut back on my clothing. This piece, however, I am definitely going to add into my wardrobe!
The Foat Sisters have done it again. This beautiful dress is made out of reclaimed fabric, and it’s reversible!
I’ve been searching for a “signature” scent for so long…I finally found it! I love love love this scent, and I’m hard to please when it comes to parfum – I usually go without. I’m so happy that I am able to share this with you.
“The sweet, fruity, and gourmet notes of peach and pear mixed with the flowery touches of rose musk on a vanilla base. All the naïve and determined young woman will be seduced by this Eau de Parfum, with intense feminine chords of fresh roses. 100ml.”
Yes, we know the moccasin trend has been around for awhile (we were sporting some Minnetonkas half a decade back). But it took J Crew, of course, to knock them back to our covet pile. We won’t be starting Fall without these cozy numbers…and neither should you!
You don’t have to leave your desk to shop at the best store in NYC: Bird (actually in Brooklyn). Check out www.shopbird.com for Jennifer Mankins stunning selection of every up and coming new designer on the planet. I like to peruse the staff picks and order something for my sweetie too!
I’ve been stalking this Liberty Print Steven Alan Tuxafari shirt all summer and now it’s at Saks on super sale! I think I might have to pull the trigger…
Perfect now with cutoff jean shorts and cozy under a cardi for Fall.
We were dutifully headed to the sale section at J Crew when these new Pixie Pants caught our eye. Perfect transitional piece from Summer to Fall and a great polished update to your leggings or skinny jeans. We’ll be wearing ours with a long tank and boyfriend blazer.
Boy, would I love to own one of these! It would make a wonderful Mother’s Day present! This designer, Charlotte, is “on the rise” and is as sweet as pie! Check out her other items, too!
I’m really not into the whole gladiator thing going on this Spring, but I do have to say…JCrew did a nice job with these. Surprise, surprise!
