Lapis Luxury

Everywhere I turn these days there are little pops of lapis leaping out at me. I like it.

Falling for Autumn...Aug.11

I won't say I'm ready for Fall, because I know I've got a whole lotta swimming, sun-bathing, bike-riding and beach-reading left in me. But I will say that I get a teeny bit excited by the idea of a richer color palette, long pants, heavier fabrics and fewer sweat beads forming all over me, at all times.

After a month+ of sweet summer vacation, I start my new job next week. I'm SO excited, and ready to get back in the game for sure. But the timing of it all is giving me a strong urge to squeeze in some back-to-school shopping. In addition to the usual ballpoint pens and college ruled paper, the following items are on my list:

(* verry excited about the re-launch of their classic collection! only slightly biased.)

Best Of Lucky, feb. '10

So I was thinking about posts and what I'm obsessed with these days. Instead of racking my brain into writers block (which is why you haven't heard from me in a while), I thought "Let's keep it simple." Every month for at least 10 years (or how ever long it has been on the magazine racks) I've gone through Lucky Magazine issues and flagged everything I like and/or want to purchase. So why not list them here instead of lugging around old magazine clippings? That way, you readers can spare yourself the $3.50 and the guilt of killing trees and I'll do all the heavy lifting. Makes perfect sense to me, really! So, without further ado...my picks from the February 2010 issue:


My introduction to Danish rocker Mette Lindberg. Isn't she gorgeous?


Coco was awfully on trend by posting about plaid wool weekenders. Grab this one by Filson for 25% off by entering "lucky1" at checkout.


These are tough, I'll admit, but bless your Tomboy ass if you can pull it off. Olive green desert boots are on point for my obsession with Arizona attire. Get these by J Shoes here.


Perfect "toast" nail color to add to my collection by RGB


All natural Korres Lip Butter in Quince. Hurry and get it for less than $6 by entering "lucky4" at checkout.


Good ol' cuticle and dry skin shizz. I'm a sucker for this crap.

the time has come, dec.09

happy shopping!

standard finery, all minery, dec.09

standard finery read my mind. the light as a feather fabrics and muted beachy hues are such a lovely escape from the cooold weather and chunky wools of december in new york. i am truly in love with this collection- we were made for eachother.
