THE [NON] IT BAG


I invest in my bags more than any other category of my wardrobe and I do end up gravitating towards classic it bags. The problem with it bags is that everyone ends up having…it.

My souvenir from London is a new bag by Helmut Lang, the Ankou.

For the next few weeks I will be traveling to so many new places. My luggage is pretty light but I did pack a few new pieces:

SCENTS WHEN


Back in high school I discovered Creed Spring Flower and I was obsessed with it. A few other girls caught on and suddenly the scent became status quo, so I layed off the stuff…

Over the past few years I have purchased several scents per year but not really loved any of them.

IN MY CART: ZARA HAUL


Gold Heels; Black Sandals;  Lucite Heels; Floral Shorts Set

I have stalked each of these items for a while and finally decided to pry the debit card out of my wallet and invest in some new pieces. (I am incredible strategic, so purchases take some thought.)

STRAIGHT FROM THE RUNWAY


This is one of the few direct-from-the-runways looks that is realistic for a real girl. The price is not too bad for a runway look (about $500 for both pieces) but both the Marc by Marc Jacobs top and skirt can be worn separately to create other looks.

Wear the top with a white shorts suit and let the peplum hang out. Wear an easy white tee with the skirt for a more casual look.

GOLD LEAF


Do you remember when Kourtney Kardashian wore a gold leaf headband to a fashion show last year? I liked the headband (not so much her in it).

This year, during NYFW, my friend, Karen, shot the most etherial photo backstage at the Rodarte show: a porcelain model wearing a starry hair clip

I think they say it takes seeing something two-three times before you act on it and Rodarte was the last straw- I invested in a grecian adornment of my own.

ETSY FIND: GIIA


I got to hang out with Andy (Style Scrapbook) at the CurrentlyObsessed.me party in NYC earlier this month and she was wearing the most incredible jacket. In my search to track down the jacket, I ran across another great piece that she wore that weekend- her giia neon necklace.

Giia is one of my three favorite sellers on Etsy (remember the iPhone case and girly bow bikini?)

I have not placed my order yet because I am torn between the blue one and Andy’s neon version- what do you think? Both are like a piece of art- maybe I should frame one?

DINING AT HOME


My loft has a huge open space, which is great for entertaining.

Accessorizing my dining table was a daunting task but I was inspired by a beautiful, gothic hotel in interior Mexico to do a series of candles in bell jars.
