I want this Lanvin bag for spring so bad I can taste it. Is it not jaw-droppingly beautiful? Unfortunately, the price tag ($1,470) is also a little jaw dropping. A girl can dream though, right?

One Love Organics

2011-02-17T18:19:00.004-05:00

I rarely get excited about cosmetics. Somehow, it's the 1 girlie gene that was lost on me. But, every now & again, a line will fire me up. And One Love Organics is doing just that.

According to the sight, the line is "natural, ethical and environmentally driven." Love that. And the packaging is gorgeous. As is the site. Both designed by Hi Design (Sunday Suppers, 100 Layer Cake, etc.).

In other bridal fashion news...

2011-02-17T17:21:00.007-05:00

So everyone is blogging the shit out of the BHLDN launch (Anthropologie's wedding line), but I thought I would highlight another recent bridal launch, from Vera Wang(!) for David's Bridal(!).

I am crazy about that pink dress, by the way. Picture it with black gloves. Yes, please. Because I am such a sucker for that look. Plus it sort of reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker (as Carrie Bradshaw) in that Christian Lacroix bridal gown, in VOGUE, way back in the day. Love.

So I've been slacking on the blog front, no doubt. But I had to post on New York Fashion Week (going on now), especially when I saw the Libertine show. The color combos are crazy. And I love that.

JewelMint: here's what Kate Bosworth thinks I should wear...

2010-12-29T19:20:00.007-05:00

...& and I think I agree with her. Has anybody visited JewelMint, the interactive jewelry site created by actress Kate Bosworth & stylist Cher Coulter, yet? Well, I am kinda digging it.

First, I am a fan of Bosworth's style (see?). Also, I really like the style quiz that breaks down your style so that the sight can recommend pieces for you. Above is what JewelMint recommended for me. Love! What's more? All pieces (including the above necklace) cost $29.99 for members.

my fall so far: flowers & the fair

2010-11-06T20:53:00.050-04:00

...just a few pretties from my fall, thus far...

I thought I would share some photos (above) that I snapped at Duke Gardens last month. The leaves were not quite as vibrant then as they were last year, but I thought the flowers were too pretty not to share. I also went to the fair last month. And the sky was just beautiful. I love autumn skies here, by the way.

I took tons of photos of the Ferris wheels. I think they are so lovely. Thing is...I'm so afraid of them. I made the boyfriend sit completely still during our ride. While I squealed & panicked. Was fun[ny].

Bold & Noble prints

2010-11-06T19:35:00.003-04:00

OK, so I don't know what I like most about these Bold & Noble prints...maybe that you can choose your colors. Or that all of their products are made from 100% recycled materials. Love that.

Oh, & when they aren't making awesome prints, Bold & Noble designs awesome work for their clients. See:

Anyway, I obviously think you should check out the Bold & Noble site, like, as soon as possible. And ps: if you're looking for the perfect print for a nursery, they have you covered. Not too sweet or cheesy.

{Faux Bamboo King Size Headboard}

{Set of 4 Designer Lucite chairs}

Those red chairs! Mid-century & so happy....I want them bad. And that headboard! There's something so delicate about the pattern, but it's wrought iron & study & fabulous. And those 4 chairs! So Palm Beach. So chic. I can barely stand it. Oh, ebay, you kill me!

Twig Hutchinson's site: my new favorite place

Mondo makes me happy

2010-10-30T19:15:00.003-04:00

Anyone see the Project Runway finale this week? Mondo's show made me so so happy. First, I love that crazy print that kind of reminds me of a tacky winter sweater Carl might have worn on Family Matters. Except it's a legging here. And it works!

I'm also mad about that wickedly intricate skull top in the top photo & the necklace in the bottom. I have a similar 1. It's all wood. From my great-grandmother's jewelry box. Man, I sure do hope Mondo goes far. And that I can wear some of his pretties someday soon!

The London Shows: color pops @ Burberry

2010-09-25T21:21:00.003-04:00

Lord knows I love a Burberry show (see here & here par example), & the latest show did not disappoint. I am so so smitten with the use of the punchy pops of color which update the classic separates so beautifully. The entire show gave me happy feelings, not unlike those experienced after seeing the Peter Som show.

So here's what I am thinking...come spring, if you are not in the position to buy a bunch of new clothes, then no worries. Spring for a hot green (or pink or blue) belt or bag instead. Love that.

The entire 'home' is just stunning, no?

Above are some lovely dresses in varying shades of pink from the Oscar de la Renta show. From barely pink to salmon, these dresses show off pink's different personalities. Love them all.

Fashion Week: 60s flashback @ Chris Benz

2010-09-14T21:31:00.002-04:00

The Chris Benz show was, well, very literal when it came to its sixties influences. But that's what makes it fun, no? That green. That trapeze dress. Those bell bottoms. Each piece is blurring the line between fashion & costume. But in a very fun, very now kind of way. I am kind of digging that.

So, tons more fashion week coverage to come. I'm recovering from a weekend of roughing it out in the wilderness (more on that later), but I'm super excited to keep on keeping on when it comes to fashion week coverage. Check back often this week for more pretty posts!
