I just stumbled upon this picture and found myself instantly obsessed with the look. And wouldn't you know it, that scrumptious blazer AND skirt are 3.1 Phillip Lim. Why am I not surprised. Ha, that skirt was even my "Lustworthy Item of the Week" last week.

Also...the shoes are Marni, the white top is by Acne, and necklace is Richard Nicoll for Erikson Beamon.

My favorite look of the night. The hair, the jewelry...everything was SPOT ON.

Who was your favorite?

I'm going to go ahead and blame the boring title for this post on the fact that I am slightly under the weather with a fever and therefore do not feel like thinking up clever things.

I am so smitten by headscarf thing. It's generally seen on women over the age of 65, but leave it to this chick to make it look so incredibly cool that we must once again raid our grandmother's closets.

Hats are hot.

lim, i love you

I was going to do a compilation of some of my favorite runway looks from fall 09, but as I clicked through Phillip Lim's collection and found myself consistently gaping, I decided that I must dedicate one post entirely to him. There is so much to inspire. I narrowed down my favorites to these...eleven.








Everything hangs/drapes/slouches perfectly.

Picture #1: The most fantastic layering.
Picture #6 and #7: Fur and ruffles. 'Nuff said.
Picture #8: Please oh please can I have that sweater.
Picture #9: Lacy tights under an industrial looking jumpsuit? Genius.
Picture #10: I die.

Plus, all the shoes are divine, and I am now convinced I need burgundy tights.

show me what you're workin with

I was tagged by darling Hippie Frou Frou to "Show off your blog workspace". So here it is ya'll!





-We are in desssperate need of new couches. We needed something to sit on when we moved in and so we got a good deal on these pieces of crap. They have stuck around for 2 years and it's time for us to bid adieu to them.
-On occasion I enjoy having a glass of wine when I get home from work, just to relax a bit, and today seemed appropriate cause it's FRIDAY!
-I noticed that Hippie Frou Frou and I have the same computer! (I think). Holla!
-Nothing much else here of note, just the book I have been reading (My French Life by the wonderful Vicki Archer) and an Anthropologie catalog (it's pretty apparent I have a love affair with the place).

And I tag Brooke, Connie, and Paulistana Angelena. Show us where the magic happens, girls! :)
xoxo

Have an absolutely lovely weekend.

i see you

A lovely day of shopping and meandering around Geneva with a friend led to...
-me buying more home accents to fuel my current obsession with decor. I just couldn't pass up the tarnished silver candlesticks and the darling vintage bench...
-these spur-of-the-moment outfit pictures in an Anthro dressing room. I don't know.
-two girls trying on loads (pounds) of overly sequined-and-beaded ugly 80's dresses in one tiny dressing room. Tiny. Not the one in the pictures.


Wearing a Gap Jacket, Urban outfitters tee, Zara beaded vest, Asos tights, secondhand boots, and really old denim shorts that I believe are from Old Navy.

enjoy

I want that perfectly drapey top.

I've started carrying a little sketchbook around with me, due to the fact that my mind is always swirling about with ideas, inspirations, and just things I want to remember. It relieves stress and makes me happier just knowing that I have this little book full of exciting notions. For some reason it makes me feel more put together...

Anyway...could be something fun to try if you are the list-making type.
