Puffed Up

I have never been a fan of the puffer vest.  When I ran across this picture though, I was so surprised that it didn't look the least bit frumpy.  It even looks chic.  So, I guess it's not completely true that you have to suffer to look good.  However, being that my arms & hands get the coldest, I don't think I'll be investing in a puffer vest soon.  

One Way or Another, I'm Gonna Find Ya'

I missed out on this Isabel Marant fringe skirt because I just couldn't afford it...

However, I don't think I can miss out on this Clubm Monaco skirt.  I've already started stalking it...

Sneaker Pimps

I have never been a sneakers girl, but I'm loving these looks.  I keep thinking maybe I can pull off the Christian Louboutin Louis studded hi-top sneakers like in the look right below.  Of course, I love anything Taylor Tomasi-Hill does, but these looks really make hi-top sneakers look chic.  

There's Always Something There to Remind Me

When I saw these Ann Demeulemeester boots, I wanted them.  I needed them.  But again, I hesitated & found myself bootless.

I thought I was over them until I saw them again here. 

Jealous Much?

I love Taylor Tomasi-Hill in this picture.  Her whole look is amazing from the red hair down to the Alaïa shoes--both of which I need!

* I don't want to hate on her because I adore her & think her style is impeccable.  But when I saw her last week at New York Fashion Week, I was kind of bummed that she looked rather ordinary.  Seeing this, I feel kind of gypped. 

Nailed It

I’m loving these nail colors.  I normally like darker shades, but I love the naked look on Lily Donaldson.  I also love the pop of the pastel & the fluorescent orange.  Which reminds me, I need a manicure… 

The Object of my Affection

 
This clutch is my latest obsession.  The simple shape is perfect to go with the new minimalism.  It is also the perfect counterpoint for anything elaborately avant-garde.  The cobalt blue is stunning & so modern.  It is also a refreshing dose of color after all the black I've been wearing all winter.  It is the perfect accessory for spring. 

I have been searching high & low for it.  Why don't we have a Celine store in the U.S.?  So not fair!  *sniffle*

Style Crush

Every once in a while, I fall in love with another girl's style.  I am ever faithful in my love for Carine Roitfeld & Emmanuelle Alt, but right now, I'm obsessed with "Marie Claire" Accessories Editor Taylor Tomasi-Hill.  I've always been partial to red hair & she makes me yearn to dye my hair red again.

More importantly, I need that McQueen bustier!
