Autumnal Nails

Mmmmm... autumnal nails. Butter, Chanel and Lippmann have the best nail colors for fall. That metallic burnt orange by Butter is coming home with me!

 

Color Me Bold

J. Crew gets an A+ in color blocking for rolling out prepster blazers, cropped trousers and lightweight trenches. Now, this is what I call back to school cool.

Jean-ous Jump Start

It may be hot and humid now, but fall is just around the corner. The looks I am coveting for cooler days... Kasia Struss & Emma Xie designs for Mango. Their everyday looks have fall trends subtly worked in.

Silent Sundays

Shhhh... the most elfin, delicate dresses can be found at Silent Sundays, but don't let the secret out. Indulge yourself with a tour of the whimsical designs, both original and vintage.

Out Of This Galaxy

The fall colors for Nars are out of this world... no universe. The blue is a alarming and the red resolutely ridiculous. I am so excited for bang up color this Autumn! Check out their full color line today!

I'm Melting

Back to blogging on this thick, muggy day in the Midwest. I just sent my hubby out to get watermelon. I need relief! Here's a little beat the heat combo inspired by my favorite fruit. Nummy.

Summer Lovin'

Enjoy your Friday. I am going on a blogging vacation, I start a new job on Monday and want to take some time off from blogging to get use to my new routine. I will be back to posting on July 16th. So, go on slip on your favorite dress, heels and earrings and dance the night away.

Simply The Best

I adore these Emilio Pucci platform sandals: the height, the design and those metal plates. Just one night on the town with them... oh the stories I would tell.

The Deepest Cut

Super sexy maxis with dramatically deep slits. There's a lot more of these gorgeously draped dresses at Shopbop.com.

Make Your Own Sunshine

Sequins during the day is a definite do. See how it's done... these sexy ladies are owning their looks. Try donning something sparkly to work, it'll change your whole outlook.

All Zipped Up

Hold everything. This Givenchy Zip Front Slingback Sandal is the bomb. That's right, I am bringing back the phrase "the bomb" for this drop-dead-sexy sandal.

Online Shopping Crush

The selection and outfit styling at Totokaelo is genius. Do yourself a favor and check out their site. Here is a small sampling of what they offer.

Stripe-ify

Jennifer Murray and Nancy Gibson are planning to stripe-ify everything in sight with their Edith A. Miller line. You can get their stripy tees, rompers, and dresses at Steven Alan.

Yigal Azrouël | Resort 2011

In true form, Yigal Azrouël, delivers another ultra-feminine, expertly draped collection for Resort 2011. The hot pink eyeshadow, in the first shot, is so over-the-top fabulous. Yow!

New To Me

Emily at Cupcakes and Cashmere has opened a whole new world for me, as far as manicures. Glitter dusted tips, why have I never thought of this, pure genius. I am bewitched by her sea-foam green and orange Crush nails.

"I Bear A Charmed Life"

Aptly named for its sturdy elegance the "Macbeth" gladiator sandal by Pour La Victoire is a definitely a conversation starter.
