Pouch Perfection

I'm dying for one of these American Apparel zip pouches that have been making the blogging rounds! At $45 I think I'll take one in each color.

Hue Happy No. 09

Disclaimer: I really don't like this outfit but I am in love with the color and hand-drawn quality of the plaid. (Although the jacket could be cool worn on it's own)

Oscar Fashion

The theme of the Oscars this year was definitely sequins and neutrals, and I was not complaining! Almost everyone looked stunning, but my favorites were Hillary and Cate, followed by Gwyneth, Halle, and Mila.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein


Mila Kunis in Elie Saab


Halle Berry in Marchesa


Celine Dion in Giorgio Armani Privé


Amy Adams in L'Wren Scott


Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier


Michelle Williams in Chanel

Space Inspiration

Paloma featured this first living room for her Fabulous Room Friday last week and I've been thinking about it ever since. I went to the source and spent hours looking at all the other homes they featured (even though I couldn't read much of the site - so much for my 4 years of Spanish in high school) and found some other great rooms - check them out!

Friday Favorites 2/25

It's snowing. Again. All I have to say is it better not snow anymore after the calendar switches to March (which is on Tuesday -- time is flying!). Luckily I have more than enough blog posts to catch up on, TV to watch and some freelance work to keep me busy. Did everyone enjoy their short week? My weeks are always 3 days long but this one seemed especially long so I'm happy it's the weekend!



+ definitely trying my hand at these cool DIY bracelets - so chic & easy

+ cave hotels in Turkey - so. awesome.

+ I love everything about this look (but especially the sunglasses)

+ gorgeous sequin dresses in Closet & Casa

+ dying to try Emily's Chanel nail polish

+ some weeks I discover a new blog to obsess over and this week's was See Jane

currently wearing

Right now I'm all about subtly tricking myself into thinking it's springtime. Painting my nails in this bright coral-pink polish has been working wonders! (And you can see a glimpse of my nail polish army!)

Chic Meets Tough

As always, Burberry proves that they know classic and tailored. I'm digging their super chic and edgy pieces in their Fall 2011 RTW collection (shown in London). I especially love the pops of bright colors - it seems like bright accessories, especially bags, are going to be a huge trend (think Kate Spade Essex Scout Bag) -- I can't say I'm complaining!

Neutrality

I'm normally into colors--especially bright ones (see yesterday's posts for further proof)--but lately I've been inextricably drawn to neutral interiors. They never fail to impress. Here are some of my most recent finds...

Sass & Bide Fall 2011

The Sass & Bide Fall 2011 collection (shown at London Fashion Week) is the perfect burst of color for right now! The headpieces are a bit strange, but I'm swooning over the shoes they paired with almost every outfit! I want them in every color.

Friday Favorites 2/18



I hope everyone has had a great week! Mine has been extra special due to the shockingly warm weather we're having in Syracuse right now - we can finally see grass! What do you all have planned for this weekend? I'm feeling slightly under the weather so I'm hoping to spend the weekend being productive on schoolwork (the best part about being a graphic designer is you can do your work in bed!).



+ Raoul's simple but gorgeous silhouettes

+ black and white stripes and sequins? sign me up!

+ the Joy Cioci presentation was full of pretty

+ BHLDN launched (be sure to swoon over all the shoes!)

+ shots of Arizona Muse in the desert with stunning modern architecture

Backstage at NYFW

While it's great to look at all the new collections sent down the runways during NYFW, I've found that it's even more fun and inspiring to see what goes on behind the runway. Thanks to social media, I've been following closely along with Teen Vogue Editor Eva Chen and photographer Jamie Beck.

Kate Spade Fall 2011

How fun are these images from the Kate Spade Fall 2011 presentation during New York Fashion Week? I love the layering of black & white patterns, fun colors, and interesting props like the MoMA and Dean & Deluca shopping bags!

Scout & Catalogue

I've been a fan of Scout & Catalogue's pretty scarves for awhile now and was happy to see some new additions to their shop in the form of "scavenger pouches." Each one is unique so be sure to act fast!

Hue Happy No. 07

How pretty is this living room? I'm loving the rich hues and combo of modern and traditional furnishings. The story behind this space can be read in the latest issue of Rue but here's the short version: Anishka Clarke from Ishka Designs left her ten-year super successful finance career to pursue her passion for interior design. If that's not inspiration/motivation then I don't know what is!
