Two-tone lips

What are your thoughts on the colorblocked lip look?

I sort of love it, but worry that my lips would end up looking like a weird tie-dyed mess if I attempted eating, drinking or conversation.

Printed Jeans

They're not just for tweens.

Here's a little round-up of some printed and patterned jeans that work for the Forever 31 set...

This is a perfect example of how to work the look...easy breezy with a cool silk button down. Add a chunky snood and biker boots and voila, winterized.

Little Black Dress, Nov.11

The Anatolia Dress is a pretty perfect specimen of LBD, if you ask me.

Shorty chic, Oct.11

Just a heads-up that this post may contain an overabundance of cuteness...apologies in advance.








Watch out little Gigi, your Tia's got big plans for you.

blues hues, mar.10

i'm so into this washed out look. i think it's kind of a nice way to dress in this not quite yet spring but way over winter limbo season. in fact, i'd wear it now with some ankle booties and hat and gloves. i'd also pull it out again in may with chunky sandals and the jacket unzipped. take that.

taken for granted, mar.10

fleabags, feb.10

suuuch a lovely saturday! kris was in town from SF and we paid a little visit to the brooklyn flea before she had to catch her flight...


we met this precious pup along the way


my only flea purchase, a gruyere-paprika pretzel with beet-horseradish mayo and dijon mustard


the totally gorgeous interior of 1 hanson, this years indoor brooklyn flea site

speaking of fleas, a friend just introduced me to fleabags, a line of pretty and practical totes made with just my sort of saturday in mind. i'm in love, i reeaallly want that blue one!

rebecca taylor never lets me down, feb.10

remember when i gushed about how much i loove rebecca taylor? she's back and i'm in love all over again. each look is perfectly feminine, cool, cozy and weather-ready. i am a huge fan of navy-black combos and that olive trench has been dancing through my dreams....

weekender, jan.10

me and my beau are getting away and i can.not.wait.

the planning of this long weekend started with us entertaining the idea of 4 days in Dublin(too short). then perhaps upstate NY(too hard without a car). finally a decision has been made and B&B booked- the multi-city, multi-state tour begins tomorrow afternoon. with visits to Denville, NJ for a family (and kitty) visit, Vernon, NJ for saturday snow tubin, din and drinks in Philly, PA, and a B&B in New Hope, PA, i'm sitting here trying to figure out what to pack and how I can squeeze it into a perfect weekender (see below). in need of some help, i've pulled these images for inspiration...i'm thinking winter whites, duck boots, chunky knits and a mini dress for good measure. wish i had a snood right about now.
