To my friends: STOP READING. This will spoil the surprise.

My quarter-life (25th birthday) is approaching very quickly; I just have a few weeks left as a 24-year-old. This is the time of life where fashion blogs become lifestyle blogs and all of your friends get married.

I have been in London for the last few days and I finally had a chance to visit Topshop- the largest retail shop in the world. (I don’t know if that is true, but it took me nearly two hours just to make it through half of the store, so my assumption can’t be far from the truth.)

Luckily, all of the same products are for sale online in the US, so here is my cart:

Shark teeth were a big part of the Givenchy Spring 2012 runway.

However, I had not seen the trend in action until MBFWA. One of my favorite Aussies, Zanita, wore a gold Estelle Devee shark tooth necklace with an IRO jacket to the shows.

…Isabel Marant Fall 2011. Shocker, I know.

My entire wardrobe is made up of creme so when Marant imbraced the monochrome and added a little Navajo detail, I was sold. (Thank you, VOD Boutique, for bringing the collection to Dallas!)

This dress is another runway piece that I have tracked for nearly a year.

I. Still. Want. It…Badly.

It recently popped up on theOutnet along with a few other SALE finds:

Lately most of my inspiration has come from Isabel Marant. I wear her tribal jeans like a loyal follower and have been drawn to the simple detail for a while now.

Speaking of Parisians, IRO is one of my favorite French designers (see my other notes about IRO here) and I purchased these tweed IRO shorts at Glassworks Studios in London (they ship all over the world).

As for the details: I found this inexpensive beaded belt at Urban Outfitters and it provides cohesion for this look. I wear my black booties on a daily basis- with shorts, dresses, leather pants- everything. My new Helmut Lang Ankou bag has become a daily accessory as well.

Today I am headed to Australia and I am so excited to bring my new outfit- it is very Prabal meets Miu Miu. If you have a graduation or wedding coming up, this is a chic yet frugal look to use.

I adore Maslin towels- problem is, they are so expensive!

Great news! Today only Maslin towels are 50% off!

These bright hyde towels are adorable for beach vacations or graduation gifts and they come with a chic leather carrying strap (that I will be using to tote all of my towels)!
