off she's gone... Posted by writter , Friday, January 8, 2010 at 5:58 PM, in Labels: Dress

Absolutely fallen in love with the new Anthropologie catalogue... it's like a well-travelled trip in a charming, little european city... running about for coffee & fresh bread, exploring the city, and taking the time to stop and smell the flowers. What a leisurely life to lead... if only!

fresh snow + cardicoats... Posted by writter , at 5:56 PM, in Labels: Dress

More snow today, but it's not as bad when you wake up to sunshine... although I walk to work so I can't really speak for all the winter drivers. I still haven't found that perfect cardicoat, but maybe with the January sales i'll come across a good deal... don't you love this cozy navy version? And it doesn't look that bulky either!

bundle up... Posted by writter , at 5:52 PM, in Labels: Dress

Finding myself bundling up so much these days with the cold... on the lookout for warm scarves, over-sized cardigans and plenty of knits to layer...

a *sweet* christmas eve surprise... Posted by writter , at 5:43 PM, in Labels: Bag 2010

For a while now i've been coveting the perfect leather purse... one of those treasured items that you'll keep forever and ages beautifully... I first had my eye on J.Crew's Uptown and Gallery style bags... but when I came across COACH's Brooke bag I fell in love (previous post here). Well, guess what my super sweet boyfriend got me for Christmas? The Brooke bag in a beautiful taupe leather! I absolutely love it... the brass hardware goes perfect with it's lady-like handles and the lavender lining is so unexpected... i'm so excited! Thank you Rick xo.

ribbons + rhinestones... Posted by writter , at 5:38 PM, in Labels: shoes

Loving these glamorous heels that are just perfect for a New Year's party... not to mention the sparkling necklace with a blue ribbon tie... so very girly, it definitely makes a statement... would you wear a necklace like this?

simply stunning....... Posted by writter , at 5:21 PM, in Labels: Dress

I love when you come across a photoshoot you want to laminate and keep forever... how gorgeous are these photos of Amber Valletta for ELLE France? The pinkish-peach tone is just wonderful... along with all those dreamy lingerie pieces, as well as another gorgeous chandelier. They are everywhere this week...
