Resort 2011...

what a disappointing season. black, beige and blah. or over-the-top pastels and foofoo embellishments. i think the 2011 fashion scene is confused. regardless, here are some favorites---




and please let me give a shout-out to Emilio Pucci for this amazing outfit---

St. Kilda jewelry...

need i say anything? St. Kilda does some gorgeous work---









St. Kilda's website is pretty fantastic, so take a peek here. thanks Joanna at A CUP OF JO for the great find.

island themes...

i feel warm breezes and i'm holding a cocktail in my island-y dreams. i also look fabulous in a bathing suit---

converse?!

i was fine with black low tops and you had to go and be awesome---

today i love...

Pampa High Leather Boots by Palladium, here

new blogs...

i have to share these two new blogs that i absolutely adore.

Aubrey Road

a rare photo-heavy blog with inspiring images. i really enjoy the simplicity and unintimidating content. Jenny describes it as the "home of my favorite things". so great!



Weardrobe

speaking of unintimidating... everyday women sharing images of their unique outfits paired with a mini-shopping guide. again, so great!

Paris outfits No. 3

if you're confused about the title, i do a recurring segment concerning perfect outfits, just for Paris. i know this may seem trite, but one of my regrets in life is not having a fabulous outfit when i was actually there, in Paris. when our tour leader said "comfortable" i took it very literally. someday i will go back there and i will look fantastic. these are my ideas---

Carolina Herrera, Pre-Fall 2010...

absolutely stunning. i love the cut of the first dress and the geometric pattern is wild but perfect. any source of color in the very bleak Portland, Maine is savored. too bad it isn't summer now!

April in Paris...

my friend Ryan very recently went to Paris. i can't wait to hear his stories...

i know it's cliche but the Champs Elysees is pure magic.

so, of course, i have to share a roundup of outfits that i would wear all over the city. sadly, went i was in Paris, i was on a countryside tour of France and didn't bring anything pretty to wear so bear with me on this imaginary indulgence-

more to come...
