Prints Charming...

{image from lefashion}

I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir when it comes to this post, but I couldn't help but draw attention to Miu Miu's S/S collection. Who knew we would all love a print so much?! Lets be honest for a second, a pastel print for spring is nothing ground breaking. Look back a few seasons...Rachel Comey's F/W 08 had a heavy hand in an almost completely print designed collection. Why weren't we swooning and pining then?!?!

Clearly it's about timing, Miu Miu got it right as something fresh and new that the ladies want! I think it's also has to do with how feminine and girly the collection was with a hint of provocation. We've had a couple seasons of played up androgyny...Wearing over sized pieces, with boyfriend cut this/that. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the androgynous look, I'm guilty of wearing an over sized cardigan and boyfriend cut t-shirt right now. But as we welcome in the constant sunshine and warmer weather, I think our dbl X chromosomes are itching to be in flirty frocks every now and then.

The collection was designed and styled from head to toe. Who isn't trying to swipe up every last pair of the amazing printed clogs.

I DIE... BANANAS...SHUT IT DOWN... There really aren't too many things that can describe the perfection of the footwear. I've already expressed to you my obsession with clogs here, here, and here... but my love affair just hasn't seized. My big hopes, dreams, and fashion obsessions don't exactly match my small wallet so I've found a less expensive pair of Chanel inspired clogs. Before I was content on my one pair but now after reevaluating my love for the Miu Miu shoes, I might purchase two and try to DIY a pair of printed clogs. Hmmmmmmmmmm

Who am I kidding?! I'm no shoemaker or designer!!!! But I'm going to try anyways!!!! It has potential to be a complete disaster, or it could turn out just as adorable as the aforementioned. Stand by for results!!!

Goat Gloat...

In my previous post I was holding a new over sized clutch I recently received from London! My dear sweet London squatter and bestie, Becky, has been in school studying leather accessory design. As you will quickly realize, she's GENIUS! After I received my fox tail in the mail a couple of weeks ago I commissioned a job from Becky. I specifically requested an over sized clutch that could be the vehicle for my new fur accoutrement but play double duty as stylish accessory, laptop case, and well let's be honest, Becky is going to be HUGE with her own line and I want to say I have a one of a kind original. Last Thursday she arrived from London (month long spring break... LUCKY) and this is what arrived with her. I died when I saw it and it has not left my side since.

Dark almost black goat leather. It's luxurious and fabulous. I still can't get over it! The flap covers just enough and is beautiful.

I'm crazy about the lining. Not at all what I would have excepted and it makes me love it even more. The lining secures my laptop from being scratched by keys, iPods, camera, and whatever else it is I throw in my bag on any given day. I also have to call your attention to the rings on either side. Again, multi functional...I can hook the fur tail to either side (or multiples as I continue to collect) and it allows me to clip on a strap for the days I need to be hands free and mobile. How is she so good and know me so well?!

So I didn't mean to gloat about my bag, but I had to share it with you. The design is perfect and the construction impeccable. Becky has really out done herself!

Snow Day!!!!

It's officially a snow day! The city is white and on the agenda for tonight is a snow ball fight with a handful of some of my favorite people. Pictures from this monstrosity will be up late tonight or tomorrow. In the interim, I know I'm going to be freezing once all is said and done. Wishing I had this breath taking head to toe fur to snuggle up in tonight.

Literally dying over this.... I'm so jelly cat, I can't even stand it!

For Jean-Michelle...

Helped out last week on Letterman for work when our girl Nicki Minaj performed with Robin Thicke. Since then my Pandora station has been set on all things Thicke... Currently obsessed!

I was flipping through google images looking for inspiration for a much needed hair revamp and stumbled upon these images of Rihanna and Mr.Thicke from an old issue of GQ. I wish I could have been at this shoot. DYING!!!!!

Iron Butterfly

For some reason this last Christmas I reverted back to being a 5 year old. I was competitive with my 2 year old nephew on who would have more presents (I DID) and strongly encouraged my mom to bring back our stockings! I woke up Christmas morning to find my stocking filled with a handful of accessories and new nail polishes. I'm a little OCD when it comes to my nails... always having my nails cut short, square, and some kind of color on them. This afternoon a friend came over and we had an impromptu "nail painting party" (aka quick fix before running out the door). I decided to try out one of the new polishes and now I'm officially obsessed.

Iron + matte + sparkles

Oh you know...Just the perfect, coolest combination imaginable. The polish is dry in a hot second and is just... well COOL! Job well done madre!!!!! Orly has a few different colors in the matte sparkle, but Iron Butterfly is my favorite by far!
