Halston + Florals

Being stuck behind a desk all day is not fun when the weather outside is so gorgeous. 

I am daydreaming of pairing  

HALSTON GOWNS WITH FLORALS.

What do you think? Match made in heaven?

Pink: Corals to Honeysuckle

I a self-admitted girly-girl, but I typically don't lean towards the color pink.

 Too me, pink can easily be too sweet and too feminine.  Lately though, I have dreamed of bolder shades of 

PINK FROM CORAL TO HONEYSUCKLE.

 

 

 

 I'm trying to convince my mom and sis to make me this skirt in 

10 colors so I can wear only maxis, Ts and sandals this Summer.

No wonder Honeysuckle was the Color of the Year 2011.

 

What do you think of PINK?

Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs Book Lust

I'm desperately awaiting the upcoming release of

LOUIS VUITTON/MARC JACOBS: 

IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MUSEE DES ARTS DECORATIFS, PARIS.

Holy banana pancakes, Batman!!!

Not only is the cover phenomenal, but the book covers the work of both 

Louis V and Marc Jacobs, though their work is separated by about 100 years.

Is it March 6th yet?  'Cause... this needs to be on my coffee table NOW.

Happy New Year with Sequins + Fur

I am dreaming of 

SEQUINS + FUR

for the New Year.  

Can you think of anything more luxe?

I will be donning this furry little beauty New Year's Eve:

I've never been happier on a single splurge my entire life.

Now to find a some sequins...

I wish you all a wonderful, safe and prosperous 

NEW YEAR 2012!!!

See you next year.

Rachel Zoe Fashion Office with WhoWhatWear

I go BANANAS over Rachel Zoe.  

I love her sense of glamour that is mainly based in 70's luxury brands.  

I would do just about anything to get into her closet but I'll have to settle for 

this photo shoot that takes a sneak peak into 

RACHEL ZOE'S FASHION OFFICE.

Have you died yet?  Don't worry. It gets better...

The above image is of her vintage archives. I. Die.

Ok, I really can't take the mass beauty of these shoes. 

 Let's switch over to the interior design aspects of the office before the drool literally streams down my chin.

Love those x-backed open shelves.

A vintage mirrored coffee table is a natural choice.

One day, I WILL have an office this gorgeous. One day...

70's Inspired Floppy Wool Hat

Over the weekend I gave one of my dearest friends a 

RETRO INSPIRED FLOPPY WOOL HAT 

for her birthday.  Now I think I want one, too.

When I say I may want one, I mean, I can't stop thinking about it and had second thoughts of keeping my friend's gift to myself. Not that I would do that...

Sorry for all the fashion posts lately-- this time of year gets my fall fashion blood bubbling.  

I promise beautiful interiors the rest of the week!

Well, maybe...

Perfect Pair: Back to School Fashions + Youth Room Decor

It's that time of year again- time to head back to class.  I always loved this time of year growing up.  The anxiety-ridden wait to find what friends are going to be in your class, the new books, pens, folders, and, most importantly, the new clothes!  Call me crazy, as modern as my tastes are, I love using traditional fabrics and silhouettes in both YOUTH FASHIONS & ROOM DECOR.

"Back to school, back to school, back to prove that I'm no fool." 

 -Billy Madison

(My husband and I decided this adorable girl is what our little girl will look like one day. Fingers crossed!) 

(I DIE over those suspenders!)

Doesn't this time of year make you want to be a kid again? Sigh... They have it made.

Who's ready to go back to school?

Fashion Essential: Chambray Shirt

Along with autumnal tones of orange, chambray is a fabulous way to transition your wardrobe into Fall.  I am anxiously awaiting for a shirt similar to this:

to come back from the tailor's (*hint* when shopping clearance, don't ignore the petite section.  My lovely sister-in-law taught me to buy one size up and the fit should be closer to average sizes.  My shirt was a little too boxy for my taste, but $7+$20 for alterations, makes this org. $70 shirt a STEAL!). 

As I'm patiently waiting (well, maybe not so patiently...), I have been perusing the net for outfit inspirations.  Here are some looks you can wear now:

(apparently I like chambray with white jeans)

...or later:

I never thought I would appreciate the "cowboy tuxedo" (a.k.a. denim shirt with denim pants), but when done right, it's tres chic!  The key to pulling the look off  is to make sure the washes are completely different.  I have a hankerin' my chambray shirt may make multiple appearances over the next few months!
