Sheer Genius

Wore this to school the other day...

My new Free People blouse and tank top, worn with Sevens skinny jeans, a Juicy Couture velvet jacket, my favorite new patent-leather Prada wedges, the usual chunky white Toywatch, and a necklace I "made" by putting an antique brass key on a silk cord.

I loved this top so much I got it in a cream color as well!

Holiday Wish List!

The holiday season is FINALLY here, and you know what that means... yes, presents for family and friends, but moreover, a new list of gorgeous things I absolutely have to have!

1. Sequined party dresses (see Balmain, Pucci, Alice+Olivia)
Not that I go to lots of parties, but if I had a dress like this one, I figure the parties would find me!

Sidenote: I loved Emma Stone in Easy A - she was hilarious and so endearing! (Not to mention, she's gorgeous.) It's such a funny movie, I suggest you watch if you get the chance.


2. Over-the-knee tights and socks: insanely cute and leg-lengthening - what's not to love?

3. a leopard-print coat (a la Brigitte Bardot)

There was a good picture of Bardot herself in a leopard-print coat in Lucky a while back, but I couldn't find one online so I got the next best thing...

Yep. Kate Moss.

Anyway, these coats exude effortless glamour, and remind me of this:

Ahh, classic Season One Gossip Girl (what's up with Season Four? we can chat about that later).
Incidentally, it happens to be Thanksgiving today, so a big Happy Thanksgiving! to my American readers!

4. opulent flapper-style dress (drop-waist, fringe, perhaps some beading)

Anna Sui had some amazing ones last season (see right):

5. various boots: Victorian-style lace-up boots (see above, left), over-the-knee boots, and ankle boots

Mmm, just writing this list makes me want to go shopping...

Luckily tomorrow is the infamous Black Friday. Unlike years past I don't think I'll bother getting up at 1 am to go shopping... but I will pop into several stores once the sun's up!

Hey Street Boy, What's Your Style?

Juicy Couture top, Sevens miniskirt, Converse shoes, vintage silver bangle

You know that old Runaways song?

Yeah, I saw the Dakota Fanning movie, too.

Anyway, this outfit I wore to school made me think of it. Though the pictures turned out a lot less grungy than I'd hoped... admittedly, "grungy" is not exactly my thing, but I got this super-cute skirt so I thought I'd have some fun with it. The pictures turned out a little "runaway girl escapes to the woods and befriends imaginary fairies," but I think it's just the lighting.

I've been ridiculously busy, but there's more to come!

Hey, everyone! I just got back from a rather long trip to Boston and NYC. Sorry for the lag in posts, but now that I'm back, you be seeing more of me!

Summer Showers

Burberry coat, shorts from Anthropologie, flats from Galeries Lafayette

Went shopping the other day, and we had some light rain.

These pictures were taken before I got my hair cut... now I can't really put it in a long side-braid like that. But I like my hair shorter now, I'll post some pictures soon!

"Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall..."

I love this J. Crew sweater... it's light enough for summer and I love the sea-foam green ombre color. It's a bit over-sized so it's super comfy, and makes me think of clam bakes and New England seaside fun.

Worn with my favorite Juicy Couture cutoffs and Tiffany's gold key necklace.

Happy (Late) Fourth of July!

To all my American readers (do I have any?): Happy Fourth of July!

and to all my British readers: ...I guess your country was sort of involved, too... recipients of the Declaration and all that... so, cheers!

So I know the fourth was a couple of days ago, but yesterday I had a golf tournament so I'm posting today...

In celebration of our nation's birthday (only not exactly, but whatever), I went with my family and some family friends to Whole Foods, where we ate dinner and then went up to the roof to watch the fireworks!

I tried to dress in red, white, and blue (don't we all?)... regular readers might have seen this Juicy Couture top before. I wore it with J Brand shorts, some oversized red sunglasses from Francesca's, and my brand new bag by Loewe, which is this fantastic Spanish brand. The bag is just gorgeous, in this amazing chocolate color, classic design... thanks, Mom!

And I accessorized with my favorite gold anchor necklace from Tiffany's, some vintage gold hoop earrings, my white Toywatch, and my Marc Jacobs Lola solid perfume ring. That thing weighs a hundred pounds.

Hope my fellow Americans enjoyed the holiday!
