American Apparel
I’ve decided I must have this adorable American Apparel tie-dye hoodie ($46) for breezy days at the beach! The colors are seriously perfection!
TOMS
I finally ordered me some TOMS shoes ($44) in one of my favorite colors — gray — and I can’t wait for these babies get in! With all the walking I do these days, flats have been my go-to shoes, and my heels barely see the light of day. It’s a bit depressing, but luckily there are a ton of cute, walkable options out there. See some of my picks, ranging from the doable to the dream on, when you read more! Read the rest of this entry »
Longchamp "Le Pliage" Tote Bag ($145) - Nordstrom
After searching high and low the last few months for the perfect laptop bag, I finally gave in and bought myself a Longchamp. Scoff as you may for shamelessly joining the club, it’s not an easy task finding a bag that’s one, big enough to fit my 15-inch laptop in a sleeve; two, isn’t so big the laptop slides down into a horizontal position; three, sturdy enough to withstand the elements (the straps broke on my last bag, RIP); four, has a shoulder strap and a zipper to protect the contents; and five, not in the $300-400 range like most of the good quality leather totes I looked at. So there you go, if you’re on the hunt for a no-frills but good-looking bag for your laptop, the Longchamp “Le Pliage” tote is a great option.
Chain Wrap Watch ($108) - shopbop.com
I have issues with jewelry. I always see people that can pile on the pieces just right, but when I try to emulate the look, I always end up taking most of it off before heading out the door – usually sticking to a simple necklace and my faux diamond earrings. One thing I’m especially in need of is a nice watch, and now that I’m a slave to the clock – running between multiple means of public transit every day – I feel it’s time to purchase that staple piece of jewelry.
La Mer’s wrap watches, like the chain one pictured, really appeal to me. With their layered bracelet-like look, I wouldn’t have to decide which pieces to put on, just throw on the watch, and I’m good to go!

For those Jillian fans out there – who are still e-mailing me, btw :) – the green sleeveless dress that she wore to Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney’s wedding is Ina Soltani (thanks Jillian!). The same designer of this dress she wore to The Proposal premiere a while back. And actually, Dana over at The Possessionista, was the one to solve that mystery. If you’re a Jillian fashion junkie, check her out if you haven’t already!
Anthropologie's February 2010 Catalog
Last week we went to Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA in Del Mar, and it was incredible! I laughed, I gasped, I put my hands in front of my face…what those people can do with their bodies is crazy!
The circus has been EVERYWHERE lately, and I love it. The February Anthropologie and Bloomingdale’s catalogs were both big top-themed, and I’ve been seeing vaudeville touches in photos by The Sartorialist, recent runway collections and on the usual suspects, à la Anna Piaggi. (It’s also reminded me of past circus-centered episodes from two of my favorite shows – Bones and Pushing Daisies.)
After the jump, the inspiration. Next post up, the clothing! Read the rest of this entry »
Generra Fall 2010 - style.com
I’m a big fan of ruffles and I’m glad to see this trend carry on for another season! I already have several ruffle-adorned tops, but I can always make room for more…or perhaps branch out with a ruffled skirt or dress like the Generra one above?
Some of my favorite ruffled pieces, after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m a creature of habit when it comes to shopping at the mall. I go to my top three to four stores, and then I call it a day. But my stores were letting me down the other day when I was looking for dark denim leggings/skinnies and work attire. When I branched out, I ended up finding the perfect pieces!
After the jump, the deets on what I found! Read the rest of this entry »
