Pink and Fluffy

I adore this Theory Scotia Sweater, just like wearable cotton candy. It's so fluffy!!! 

Boogie Down Tuesday | Lucy Rose

Lucy Rose's "Night Bus"... what beautiful and delicate lyrics. Feel free to hum along.

Red and Purple: How Grand

Love me some red and purple right now. This color combination is so striking, plus if you slap it on a fitted sweater... it is off the charts.

CC Skye Style

Wrap up your wrists in CC Skye's bracelets. She gives the leather strap bracelet L.A. edge. Love it.

Hair Today...

...gone tomorrow. How did I miss that Erin Fetherston chopped her platinum blonde locks? Her new 1920's flapper do is wonderful. I am beyond envious, she looks so chic!

Boogie Down Tuesday | At Last

In honor of my mother, who celebrates her birthday today, I am playing a song that was popular the year she was born. Although, first sung by Etta James, here is Cyndi Lauper's rendition.

An Ensemble Made Well

I am so excited to grab drinks with a former coworker this week. There will be sweet cocktails and tons of dish. What to wear? Well, as I ponder life's deeper issues, here's an ensemble that would work for any summer happy hour and just for fun I used two pieces from the Madewell collection to build the outfit.

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 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.
