Sheer love

Sheer is like my favorite trend right now. It's sexy yet subtle, showing off just the right amount of skin to the world. I went shopping the other day and literally bought 3 different tops that were sheer. I think I have an obsession.

Christmas: The Aftermath

The poinsettia's have wilted, the cat's Santa hat is tucked away, and the leftovers are finally gone. Christmas is officially over. But since I have been MIA for so long, I decided to share a few of my favorite presents to prolong the holiday just a bit longer...

Camp Socks from J. Crew

Chanel Chance Eau de Parfum

Waxed Duffle Coat from ASOS

Hearthstone Snood from J. Crew

Red 3x4 Recycled Traveler's Sketch Book from Pentalic

Hearthstone Trapper Hat from J. Crew

It was a very Merry Christmas indeed.

Abandonment

Dear friends, my sincerest apologies for abandoning this blog over the past several months. I'm afraid I got caught up in the fast lane of life and haven't had a chance to slow down until now. But fear not, for I am back. And I'm feeling completely inspired to think, create, listen, and share with you all the aesthetic values of this world. I have my blanket, a cup of hot coffee, and The National Pandora station playing..
I'm ready to go.

[iWant] Masai Plaid Taffeta Breakaway Down Jacket

Fall clothing just warms my little heart up. Normally, I stick with a lot of neutral colors but this jacket from Thakoon Fall 2011 RTW Collection is just eye-popping. Give me.

NANETTE LEPORE SPRING 2011

Some more summer inspiration... Giving off that retro flavor, the collection was mixed with oversized pockets on loosely fitted pants and sequined minis. Loving the color palette of neutrals and pinks. Take a look at the rest of the collection HERE
