a little bit of sparkle

a sequin clutch or shoulder bag is the perfect way to incorporate a little bit of sparkle into any outfit. a sequin bag can dress up any look and make it feel polished. can't wait for a champagne toast and spending the new year with family and friends. happy new year!

sequins that sparkle

of course, last minute i'm putting my new years outfit together. i definitely want to wear something with sequins, and i'm debating between a sequin skirt or pants. a little bit of sequin sparkle goes a long way, and makes any outfit look and feel special. happy 2012!

paris street style

i was looking over the street style: paris fashion week photos (here) for the millionth time and was completely re-inspired, so i thought i would share. these photos were taken of runway looks on the streets of paris during paris fashion week in october. although i don't usually/ever wear gorgeous gowns and mui mui booties prancing around the park or wandering around the city, these photographs make me want to. 

love, pamela love

lately, i feel like i have been writing about nothing else but jewelry. (although this brings up a very important point,  jewelry/accessorizing should be part of your morning routine, ideally one of the first things you do in the morning, right after brushing your teeth). from dreamcatchers to eagle's claws, pamela love jewelry is innovative, distinct, and chic. my three favorite bracelets at the moment are the sun cuff, quartz crystal cuff, and claw cuff. the sun cuff has pointed spikes done in golden bronze, and has an edgy look to it. the  quartz crystal cuff, is a gold tone cuff with seven quartz crystals, and has a raw and  unfinished looked to it. and last but not least the claw bracelet, which is gold plated and created to look like an eagle's claw.  with a  rough textured finish to it, the claw cuff has a tough but polished look to it. i would love to have any one of these three bracelets, or even better, all three!

happy holidays!

christmas clutch

i was reading the VOGUE guide for holiday dressing (here) and i stumbled across this jimmy choo claire clutch. i love the small compact size of this bag, its perfect for running around to different holiday parties, and just enough room for a phone, lipstick, and mascara. but what i love most about this clutch is that it's chic with a vintage-feel. 

happy holidays! 

vintage vintage vintage

i religiously shop at vintage stores looking for vintage designer handbags and jewelry. good vintage designer bags are hard to come by, so i'm always checking my favorite vintage shops that carry chanel, prada, louis vuitton, and ysl. i'm hoping to find a small vintage chanel clutch or small shoulder bag, that's timeless and classic. 

vogue covers

anyone who knows me, knows that i love vogue. i have a large collection of vintage and european vogue magazines that i cherish. i stumbled across the vogue covers book (here), and i thought it would fit right in with my fashion and design book collection. 239 pages of archive cover illustrations and photos, vogue covers summarizes the visual ideals of the whole magazine.
