Thanks to my style-twins (triplets?) Nanashi & Sophie, I think I now need this triple-wrap leather cuff by Billy Kirk:
I actually prefer the lighter leather that Nanashi has, and think a double-wrap (does he make that?) would look better on...

I love a good toe-ring sandal. My beloved Mephisto Helen sandals have a toe ring and a similar shape to these, but because they’re Mephisto, they have great support and are insanely comfortable. For situations where I’m not doing a...

Shopbop did a round of new markdowns overnight, and while there are lots of other great designers on sale, of COURSE I was drawn to the Alexander Wang pieces. Some of the bags are marked 30% off and there are several great T by Alexander Wang tops/dresses...

Currently Coveting: Billy Kirk triple-wrap leather Cuff
Thanks to my style-twins (triplets?) Nanashi & Sophie, I think I now need this triple-wrap leather cuff by Billy Kirk:
I actually prefer the lighter leather that Nanashi has, and think a double-wrap (does he make that?) would look better on my chunky wrists, but I always love the look of a nice,...
Chloe Toe Ring Sandals & Cheaper Alternatives
I love a good toe-ring sandal. My beloved Mephisto Helen sandals have a toe ring and a similar shape to these, but because they’re Mephisto, they have great support and are insanely comfortable. For situations where I’m not doing a ton of walking, though, I do like a “prettier”...

Found: The Perfect Ankle Booties…Maybe.
Okay, so yesterday after I posted ISO the perfect ankle booties, I went ahead and ordered both pairs of Seychelles booties from Endless and they arrived about an hour ago (how cool is that?). I intended to only keep one pair, so I need your help choosing which you think works better on me – or...
Review: Fullum & Holt Handbag
You may have noticed in my most recent outfits of the day, I traded in my Alexander Wang Donna bag for a Fullum & Holt oversized spiral bag in cream I received from Emmy’s Boutique:
After carrying this bag for about a month pretty much non-stop (the days I didn’t carry it, I...
Review: Fall 09 James Perse Dresses (Help Needed)
**update: I sent both dresses back. I didn’t feel like either one was worth the money for me, the dress on the right I considered keeping, but I wasn’t sure I would get my money’s worth out of it. The dress on the left I liked, but I hated that it was dry clean…so, back...

Outfit: I can’t take off my Madewell Jacket
I’m really glad I got the Madewell Army Jacket…it’s perfect for layering over a thin cashmere sweater, or even over a t-shirt. The dress is from Target.
Outfit: Copycat
I saw this picture while browsing Net-a-Porter the other day, and just for kicks, thought I’d try to copy it – I actually own tht T by Alexander Wang shirt and the James Perse sweater, and similar shoes, bags & pants, so it wouldn’t be that difficult.
I’m also wearing...
