Maryam Nassir Zadeh is one of those dreamy shops that feels more like a beautifully curated gallery, and this bangin bracelet is one work of art that I'd dessssperately like to bring home.

oh god(dess), may.10

mara hoffman, you complete me. if ever i had an occasion to wear a floor length number, this would be the one.

en mis sueños, apr.10

warm wishes II, jan.10

i love winter, but evvvery once in a while it seems that summer can't come soon enough. this would be one of those moments, and these retro beauties make me want to plunge into the riviera.

instead i guess i'll make some butternut squash ravioli.






thanks for the tease, anthro.

shabd is her name, jan.10

I am OB.SESSED with the Shabd Spring 10 collection. each piece is cut perfectly to show a little shape but leave a little to the imagination. and just browsing the light, cool, subdued palette whisks me away to a warm place.

warm wishes, jan.10

this cool-as-a-cucumber ensemble is what i'd like to wear around town this weekend.
but given the high temp of 28, what I'll actually be wearing will probs resemble some incarnation of the michelin man.



ps: happy 2010 boos!!!
pps: did you just develop a HUGE crush on Gala Gonzalez (above)? me too.

happy friday! nyc, oct.09

i'm in need of a little pick-me-up after a long, laborious week. i think i've earned these darlings but do i neeeed them? i think i do, how bout you? take note of the practically perfect height and bedazzled heels, please. i think i'd wear them with everything under the sun!


thankyouverymuch

UPDATE Autumn-atic pt.II: the dream team, nyc, oct.09

remember when i wrote about my fall 09 dream team? well let me bring you up to speed:

ciggie pant: not yet!! i've been making do with an old pair of cropped gap denim that will suffice for now. but they're not quite as tapered as i would like and i won't last much longer in these faux ciggies!


autumn oxfords: no luck! i'm finding that there are a ton of ugly cheap-not-chic options out there and then some really beautifully amazingly expensive ones. i've just found a pic of this moschino cheap & chic oxford and i am dyyying. i can't find it online anywhere...help!


schoolgirl blazer: check! my awesome friend kim referred me to this cheap + chic lil number and i plan on debuting it tomorrow!


driving gloves: while still an important part of the dream team, these have been put on the back burner. ideally i will find a sweet little pair of embellished leather driving gloves in the coming months, but for now i'm happy with a beautiful pair of white evening gloves inherited from my chooch**. i plan on getting sassy on your a*s and wearing chunky cocktail rings over the gloves, so watch out.

**"chooch" is my mom's mom and one of the most graceful, stylish and beautiful women i've known.

Autumn-atic pt.II: the dream team, nyc, sept.09

dear everyone,

may i present to you the dream team -- a few key pieces i'm not willing to live without this fall, in no particular order:


ciggie pant

matchstick ankle cords in black, jcrew


cropped pencil leg jean in ink, j.brand




autumn oxford
dreamy white jazz oxford, etsy

fancy metallic jazz oxford, etsy

blingy cream oxfords, topshop




schoolgirl blazer
this gap blazer is sold out everywhere...HELP


this j.crew one is fab but i think i think I can find a good one closer to $100




driving gloves!!!

in hopes of channeling Grace Kelly's character in To Catch a Thief, i'm on the prowl for a perfect pair of lady gloves.

these ivory driving gloves from etsy are close to perfection, but the $110 price lingers just outside my budget...eeks!

what's on your back to school wishlist???
