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.

this + that, nov.10

the only thing better than wearing this big soft knit chainlink scarf?

capes, camels, animals, nov.10

in the clutch, oct.10

this clare vivier laptop clutch is such a dreamy day-to-night style. i'm in the midst of packing for a 10-day work trip and this is exactly the piece i'm missing: one that looks good, packs easily and has not one but TWO awesome functions. lovely, lovely, lovely.

fine lines, sept.10

the line between wishing for more summer and longing for crispy cool autumn is superfine, and today i can finally say that i loved my summer all up and i am officially ready for some fall!

speaking of fine lines, asos gets it right yet again with their cozy cool fall '10 collection. these looks really get me giddy for indoor brunches, upstate day trips, and italian train rides (!!!) in the coming weeks:
