make a wish!

one day

framed

i want to recreate this cluster of frames on the wall in front of my desk. i'm planning on framing my pictures from my recent trip to europe, along with my favorite quotes. all the different size frames adds dimension and shape to any plain white wall.

carven 2012

tailored blazer and high waisted shorts

prints in the same color palette 

bright print

pockets!

the color palette of the carven spring 2012 RTW is so bright and exciting.  my favorite things about the collection are the bright color palette, solid colored removable collars, cutouts below the bust, bright prints inspired by native embroideries, and the tailoring of the blazers and shorts.

curling up with cashmere

cashmere isabel sweatshirt in hthr grey

one of my favorite things about fall is wearing cashmere. cashmere coats, sweaters, leggings, scarves and socks. i am not a fan of summer weight cashmere, so fall and winter are the only two seasons that i really wear cashmere. here are three must have j.crew cashmere sweaters that will last season after season and completely worth the investment.

sheer maxi skirt

must have item of the week: sheer maxi skirt by american apparel.  the highlights of this skirt are the sheer chiffon fabric, high waist, and stretch waistband.  generally, maxi skirts are meant for those blessed with long legs, but because this skirt is sheer it doesn't discriminate against any height. i have hesitated buying a maxi skirt because i'm petite, but this sheer maxi skirt works on any body type. a must have for fall!

rocco duffle

must have item: the original, classic, alexander wang "rocco duffle" is the black leather with brass studs and is the most sought after combination of the bag that was originally named the coco, though the name seems to have caused some legal problems hence the name change. the rocco continues to garner an immense amount of press and popularity with everyone wanting to get their hands on this particular combination. the rocco's glazed, pebbled leather, oversized studs at the bottom, antiqued brass hardware, double rolled handles and detachable, adjustable shoulder strap are what make the design of this bag so gorgeous. this will definitely be my next big purchase.
