Kate in Istanbul

 

I was so thrilled to see a huge fashion story with Kate Moss and actor Chiwetel Ejiofor in this month's Vogue. She's my all-time favorite model, and beyond that, the scenery (it was shot in Istanbul) is absolutely incredible. I couldn't resist posting a few of my favorite pictures. To see the rest, click here.

 

 

Libra Loot

I'm completely obsessed with these astrological Charlotte Olympia slippers and clutch from Neiman's. I'm a proud Libra and would love to show off my sign -- especially with such chic accessories. If only I still had that employee discount...

I'm having a little too much fun with the Stubbs & Wootton Bespoke tool this morning. 

Coveteur x Pamela Skaist-Levy

My obsession with Juicy Couture track suits in high school was probably unhealthy. When my teacher told me "one day you'll laugh at how much money you have spent on sweatpants" I laughed at her. And now, I realize that even though I did spend WAY too much on sweats, they have a special place in my heart and a special place in fashion history, whether we like it or not. One thing that's never changed is the fabulous style of the two creators of the bedazzled velour phenomenon, Gela Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy. One of my favorite designers, Peter Dunham, decorated Pam's casa and it is one for the books. So you can imagine my delight when The Coveteur's email hit my inbox this morning and surprise! Pam's closet was the latest to get their fabulous treatment. I've selected a few of my favorite pictures from the shoot, but you NEED to check out the rest here. And if you're not on their mailing list, you really are missing out. Enjoy!! 

Shine Bright Like a Diamond...

... or like a Red Valentino shoe! 

These sparkly lace-ups are all I have thought about since I first saw them. You could wear them with black tights in winter, jeans year-round, a white dress in summer... I could go on. Now I just need to get my hands on them.

Get Your Chic On

Did you all get the change to check out the Spring Couture shows? Sadly, my jet was in use last week so I couldn't make it to Paris this year but I did browse the slideshows on the New York Magazine site. And let me tell you, I absolutely fell in love with the Bouchra Jarrar show. Totally wearable and completely chic. My personal favorites were all the looks with those fabulous collars. 

Now if only I knew how to get my hands on one...

A Resolution Revolution

Happy New Year everyone!!

 I rang in good old 2012 with red wine, yummy dinner and some serious sofa time. Because of such a low-key affair, I had plenty of time to think about my resolutions. I don't usually stick to them but this year I have a good feeling because I'm only resolving to do things that are fun. A good strategy, am I right?

This year, I am resolving to do the following:

All Blog, All the Time

That's right. This year, I plan to fully dedicate myself to the blogosphere. Be prepared for lots more posts!!

Become a Party Animal

pinterest

I don't necessarily plan on doing more keg stands (or any at all for that matter) or attending any all-night raves, but this year I am resolving to throw more parties. Dinner parties, casual get-togethers, cocktail soirees-- I want to do them all.

Get Fancy

pinterest

While the cubical life isn't necessarily conducive to a fashion-forward lifestyle, I'd like to up the ante in my work wardrobe. This includes wearing high heels more often, which may be the most challenging part of all of my resolutions. 

So, as you can see, these resolutions are nothing to shy away from. I'll be implementing them in full force!

What are your resolutions this year??

Going Green

Vogue

Green is my all-time favorite color. I wish I could paint my whole house green and wear green seersucker suits all day long.

And now that summer is in full swing (93 degrees today in the Natural State), I am loving all the green grass and vibrant foliage everywhere. So, feeling inspired, I have rounded up my green wish list and inspirations.

Tapas plates from Wisteria! Prompting an all-things-green kitchen makeover, including:

This tureen from Anthropologie. They also have miniature ones for things like French onion soup!

And to serve with:

Some sweet embroidered napkins from Leontine Linens.

And I think I'll take a cue from Giovanna and pick up this little number:

Or maybe just opt for a new bag??

Jules Reid? Yes Please.

Have you heard of Jules Reid?? Her website calls her fantastic clothing company "the new name in luxury resort", and if you haven't browsed her fabulous designs you are truly missing out. Here are some of my faves:

How great is the print on this dress?? I would LOVE to jaunt around in it during one of my many busy weekends this summer.

I am obsessed with this tunic. Taking the granny print to a whole new level.

That necklace--- I die.

And I'm seriously contemplating this little number for my Mom's wedding:

Hurry over to her site because a ton of this stuff is on sale!! And read more about Miss Jules while you're at it-- she seems pretty fab.
