linen + lines, may.11

neutral linen + navy stripes + perfect pockets = a definite yes! yes! yes!

wear color, may.11

ohhh lawwwdy, this site has me figured out. i popped into Zara the other day and felt an overwhelming urge to wrap myself in its' racks of bright bright yellow, jade, cobalt, watermelon, satsuma, aqua....

razzle dazzle, apr.11

i'm really loving this glitzy bracelet, dripping with a rainbow of rhinestones!
it reminds me of this advanced style interview that i recently watched...'lots and lots and lots of bracelets! lots and lots and lots of rings!'
words to live by, yes indeed.

la pochette, apr.11

since i was a wee one, i've had a love for bags so strong that it borders on unhealthy. i have many distinct memories of my mama referring to me as a 'bag lady'...i would take the time each morning to transfer my books, pencil pouch, etc from one bag or backpack to whichever one was a better match for that day's ensemble. fast forward 20+ years and i'm still right there. maybe a little less matchy-matchy than in 3rd grade, but with a pretty solid supply of satchels, totes and carryalls which can often be found littering all rooms of my apartment, thanks to that very same morning transfer routine, now done in haste as i run to the subway.

anyhoo, now that you have some background, here's a really hot little number that i wouldn't mind adding to my collection:



do you remember this post? clearly clare vivier just continues to read my mind. all i want is to carry my belongings around in soft clutches of various colors, sizes, textures and patterns. my attraction to the above babies is a product of my desperate need for sunshine (longest.winter.ever). the neutral/bright combo begs to be worn with loose white cotton tops, baby blue ankle jeans, khaki trenches, gold jewels, tan skin and the like.

mile high club, mar.11

I'm just counting down the days until the sun shines and I can leave my socks behind. Each of these styles, however, would look adorable with tights or ankle socks in the meantime.

cutie buhbooties, feb.11

i love this girls' laid back look. it has me looking forward to spring, a little sun, and some exposed skin. wish i could zoom in to see them up close, i'm hoping that pattern is embroidered all-over....or beaded, even better!

festive fingers, dec.10

a rhinestone mani??? i can't think of a more precious way to get your lady fingers in the holiday spirit. but which color to don whilst decking the halls with boughs of holly? rose gold, i think. yes, rose gold.

after a bit of nosing around, i'm horrified to have learned that this beautification can cost you more than a pretty penny- up to a dollar per rhinestone. thankfully i discovered this little tutorial for a cheap and cheerful way to do it yourself. now, does anyone have a good rose gold polish recommendation?

blanket statement, dec.10

hallelujah for this berlin babe (!), she's given us all the green light to wrap ourselves in our warmest throws and weather the freezing cold.

fancy fingers for green thumbs, nov.10

what a precious little digit adornment...i can think of a few green thumbs who'd wear this beautifully. you know how adding a little green plant life to your work space can instantly brighten the mood? i can only imagine how happy i'd be if, each time i looked down at my keyboard, i caught a glimpse of this tiny garden.
