Brava!

 Fashion magazines have lost my interest over the last few years, but this spread won me back!

These shoes stood out amongst the 1,000 page Fall fashion behemoths.  Why aren't they on the website yet?

Very Fine Indeed

1st Dibs description is on point: Very Fine 1920s Art Deco Beaded Evening Dress

a hint of leaf

This is an enticing dress to shop for in the chill of Winter.

Flower Power

Grace Ciao creates some beautiful fashion illustrations with the help of mother nature.

Arthur, my old friend

When I worked at a+o I became acquainted with Arthur.  This latest print is perfect for transitioning to warmer temps.

wearing the green

The whole family wore green for St Pat's on Monday.  We didn't quite look as polished as this, but we did alright.

Rainbow Clouds

I want to be friends with whoever would wear this jumper.

I'm Dreaming of a Cashmere Sweater

Or maybe just cashmere sweater sleeves.

Pleazing Pleats

Loving the Fall collection from Delpozo.

Campy

What a great summer print for a dress!

sum sum summertime

These days I'm much more likely to be toting a diaper bag around (as if I leave the house at all!) but if I were up for something dressier, I'd opt for this lil number.

toes!

Now that it's finally getting warmer, it's time to show some toe!  I'm going for my first mani pedi of the season tomorrow.  It will be especially nice since I can't reach my toes these days.

Fall Forward

Not that I'm eager to skip the summer, but I am eager to add some of these styles to my collection.

On the Prowl

I've been on the lookout for a vintage fur coat for several years.  I missed a crucial opportunity to get one at a great price when Petrune was overstocked the winter I lived in Ithaca.  Sadly, I was feeling poor then, so I restrained myself from snapping one up, but I'm hopeful that my future fur is hiding right around the corner.  Here's one that tickles me.

Basics

I'm looking to make smart choices with my wardrobe to last the long haul.  I think this number fits the bill.

swirl skirt

I'm loving the swirly dyes that are en vogue right now.  This skirt would be right at home in my closet.

sweater season (sort of)

The temperatures are gradually cooling, so it's time to start thinking about revoking my pledge not to buy any more sweaters.

top o the summer

I haven't been shopping much this summer and feel like I need a few items to pick me up mid season.  This embroidered beauty would do the trick.

Zarna

In my quest to get to know Nashville as a native (I'm half Nashvillian by marriage) I came across Zarna's Runway.  It's an amazing personal style blog AND here she is modeling the same exact style dress I got from a thrift shop in Nashville on my last visit.  My version is slightly longer and in red, and I've been hesitant about exactly how to style it (and it needs a petite alteration) and here Zarna is showing me the way.    Thanks, buddy!
