I’m no audiophile but I’m excited about my new mini Jambox from Jawbone. It’s super cute and small. And since we watch most of our TV via the computer or a tablet at the dinner table, small portable speakers are a must.
I don’t use speakers at work (that’s what the headphones are for) but I can’t wait to test this baby out watching Bob’s Burgers!
Manolo Blahnik really knows the way to keep me buying their shoes. They tend to take my favorite style – lately the perfection that is the BB pump – and make it available in tons of different fabrics and colors.
And they are continuing with their “made-to-order” option, now via Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
I love that you can chose your height preference too… although I think 105mm is the only option to truly showcase the slender, iconic BB heel.
For those of you who have been asking me for years where they can find the be-ribboned wellies, well… Joules has a new style in two colors!
There is black with gold and navy with red.
The style is slightly different than the pair from 2010 and they are $167 but I KNOW you want them!
I don’t need them but I sure do love them. Even as Fall sets in, I still love these Prada heeled sandals.
Le Sigh, indeed.
So I’m attending a wedding in mid-November and feel like I have nothing to wear (of course!) so I’m on the hunt for the perfect dress.
As this is an early evening, Autumn, semi-formal wedding I don’t want to wear short and sleeveless. Plus that’s just not my comfort zone anyways. But I want something interesting and in a good color.
I’m thinking this sequin stripe dress from ASOS may be the perfect dress.
I like the mix of colors and the relaxed shape paired with the shiny sequins.
I’m thinking I’d wear my burgundy patent Via Spiga Refer loafer heels with it.
These are really gorgeous shoes and I think the color will be a perfect match. The good thing is that if it’s too cold I can wear burgundy tights for a tonal look. Not sure what clutch I’d wear with it but I’m thinking a black stone one that I have.
Of course, I’m still shopping around….
I’m glad pastels are still in for Fall.
I’m dying to get this Creme De Couture eye shadow palette. I know I’m too make-up lazy but the colors are just as dreamy as a pile of macarons are to indulge in.
Le Sigh!
We went and had a lovely weekend in Asheville, one of our favorite places to visit.
Days of great food, gorgeous weather and finding new wonderful local artists.
I was drawn to this adorable owl locket by Marisol Spoon…
But was drawn to their amazing art in hand carved frames. I had to take this lovely one home.
I love that the Fall art and antique shows are gearing up. There are always some great discoveries out there!
Over the weekend we went to my favorite antiques festival. There are some amazing vendors and there are always a million things I want to bring home with me.
But while I’m identifying trends, I try to limit myself to just a few special items.
This season it was a vintage clutch with gold metallic threads and squares. Very modern and glam. I had been needing a gold but not all gold clutch and this was perfect.
The other item just jumped out at me. It’s a very dreamy 50s-60s babydoll nightgown with black mesh over a pink satin-y base and a long pink satin ribbon, edged in lace.
I’ve already been lounging around in my new nightgown. I can’t wait to take the clutch out for a night on the town.
I’ll be right back.
I’m busy searching for these dreamy heels….
It’s time for the turn of the seasons. It’s time for my favorite part of the year – Autumn.
As in the past, I have a theme for my wardrobe as we travel into the cooler months. In the past I’ve had:
Clean Collage Prep and Chromatic French
Pastel Ice Cream Sundae and Vintage Garden Party
Chic School Girl and Deep Woods Floral
Cotton Candy Carnival and English Summer Picnic
This Fall it’s – Fallen Leaves and Pumpkins.
For each I typically do a Pinterest board of inspiration and things to buy/purchased. It’s great to see how I can build on each season – taking some items out and adding some in.
Before I begin, I think about the textures, patterns and colors I want to focus on, as well as what items I have that would be perfect or what I need.
For example some theme items are: leopard print, red, black, brown, aubergine, orange, oxblood, taupe, emerald, stripes, metallics and thick lace.
I’m ready to get cozy in tall boots and slim jeans, Breton strips, and faire isle sweaters paired with whimsical skirts.
It’s time for crunchy golden leaves!
