The More The Merrier...

I absolutely love this editorial (check out the complete spread HERE). As I'm thinking about my Spring/Summer wardrobe this dress with coordinating bag proves that being a maximalist is divinely chic. I'm not usually one to coordinate my accessories so literally but this really works for me!

I just got back from an extra long getaway to DC. Regular postings will commence soon!

Haters, Haters, & I Made Myself So Easy To Love...

I shy away from pricey sunnies because I'm notorious for throwing them in my purse and forgetting about them (read, they have about a two week life span before they are scratched, missing a lens, or broken). As previously expressed, Friday was the sunniest warmest day we've had in a while which meant some new shades were necessary.

What I Want Now:: Spring Round Up...

The weather on Friday was beyond! I flamboyantly skipped out of my apartment and to Fifth Ave wearing a sleeveless shirt with my recent wedge sandal purchase. Seventy five degrees has never felt so good and as usual, was too good to be true (we're back to the mid 40's and 50's this week). However the fluke on Friday got me thinking and excited for the Spring that is inevitably coming...which also means the closet switch-a-roo, clean out, and refurbish. So while bolting from shop to shop on Fifth, I mentally started a spring must have list to be transferred to paper computer.

As my friends will attest, I am a dog LOVER. Especially canines with flat noses that are stocky in build, snore, and slobber. So when I saw this Givenchy Rottweiler tee I went into a frenzy. Ok, not exactly the epitome of Spring, but I can make it work!

75% of everything I tried on or purchased over the weekend was in some shade of neon. I'm in desperate need of a new bag, and this Furla candy bag has my attention.

Denim is nothing new to my wardrobe but a few pieces to revive things can't hurt. An oversized button down with tails is a "slept through my alarm and need to be out the door five minutes ago no brainer." The oversized slouchy cut offs will be the replacement for my beloved harems when it is too hot.

Sweet 16...

Here's a sneak peak from a job I worked on yesterday!!!! Can't wait to share the full story and b-roll with you in the weeks to come!

Robert Longo:: Groove Is In The Heart...

Last week I was introduced to the American painter and sculptor Robert Longo. I can't seem to get enough of his series, Men In The Cities (1979). The way he has captured movement and emotion is beyond!

These images are from some of his most recent work inspired by the 1979 series, A/W 2010 ad campaign for Bottega Veneta

A Few Of My Favorite Things...

June Ambrose has a style that I can't get enough of!!! When I saw this picture I literally screamed--she put a few of my favorite pieces together in one outfit.

Absolutely dying!!!! The perfect ensemble for a busy styling/work day. Effortless, comfortable, chic, and put together. Genius--just plain genius!

First Come First Serve:: Potato--Tomato...

I'm a buy now wear now kind of shopper...I know, this mean I miss out on many of the first come first serve pieces every season. I like to do my research, compare prices, and invest in the items I just "can't live without!" Lets back track a bit--a week or so ago I dreamed of the Dolce Vita Pela wedges in hot pink (here). At $165 they aren't outrageous but I'm always looking for a deal! I made an impromptu run to Target last night and casually strolled by the shoe section. In passing I did a quick double take when I saw this "potato" on the shelf...

Mossimo Pilar Strappy Wedge Sandals:: JACKPOT! With a $29.99 price tag I couldn't pass them up. Especially when their identical twin, aka tomato, would run me 5.5 times the price.

Dolce Vita Pela Leather Wedge $165

Coco Canal scores another point on a stellar deal. See, good things do come to those who wait!!!

The New Crew...

Fashion week was a show stopper for J. Crew. Outside of the Chris Benz presentation, I spotted Joanna Hillman wearing the retailers spring 2011 sequin maxi skirt. Absolute perfection.

Stylist du jour June Ambrose was also seen about the tents in a J Crew number. The jumper, also from the spring collection, is double denim genius. A little blue collar, immensely versatile, and exactly what I want now--LOVING!

DIY:: Kick, Fluff, Change...

I've surprised myself over the last year or so with my growing medley of kicks. Before, I found comfort in my only pair of converse. As life continues to grow busier and my personal style molds into I don't even know what...I've been slipping into more and more high tops. Back in September I received a pair of khaki Generic Surplus h-tops as a birthday gift. I'd worn them a couple times, but quickly realized they needed some added pizazz to make it into my regular wardrobe rotation. I contemplated dying them or switching out the laces before settling on this...

I cut 2.5 x 2.5 inch squares from a fox fur stole I had draped over a chair in my room. From there I simply stitched the squares, below the laces, onto the tongue. Yep, really that easy and simple!

I guess these will be my next project!!!
