mix tape: last days of summer.

Summer, where did you go!? I feel like we were just getting started a couple weeks ago. It's been an insane past couple months with a big move from New York to Chicago and tearfully leaving behind a lot of best friends, amazing co-workers & some of my favorite places in the world in hopes of starting a new chapter in the Midwest. I'm in need of a super light hearted mix, perfect for happy hour on the roof as the warm weather dwindles down. As a lady who used to spend a lot of Summer time in the Catskills, I was sure to include at least one Dirty Dancing track (The Ronettes). If you're lucky, this mix will inspire lots of hand clapping, dock dancing & late roof nights. So take a nice long sip of that moscow mule and enjoy! xx

I am loving this ethereal editoral and the cotton candy coif of Elizabeth Olsen in Bullett Mag's romance issue this month. I have had a serious lady crush on the Olsen clan for quite some time now... I don't care if you think MK looks disheveled, I dig it. Once upon an outdoor dining night in Little Italy with some friends, we saw the twins and their body guards walking down the street and I literally lost my breath with excitement. Really. I also found myself at the same restaurant as MK&A after they won their most recent CFDA award for Womenswear Designer of the Year. Basically, the universe wants us to hang out.

Hello, lovies! After having a blast with my ladies at oh-fancy that, I'm back to the solo blogging world with a bit of a facelift. I'm looking forward to getting back to sharing the art, music, fashion, beauty, food & other goodies that delight, challenge & inspire me {and hopefully you, too!}. Cheers! xx.

falling.

Grazie mille, mama nature, Fall is here!! Technically it has been for a month, but today it really feels like it in the city. I'm excited to welcome hats, fur & heavy scarves back into my wardrobe. Oh, how i've missed them. I'm sure they've missed me too.

dalmatian nation.

I am a leopard print loving lady. If it's leopard, it's safe to say I probably own it, but lately my eye has been drawn to a different animal print... dalmatian!! Call me Cruella, but I love the coats, shoes, gloves & belts I've been seeing recently in this sassy print. The lovely coat can be purchased here & the gloves here. What is your favorite animal print?

sparklebibs.

Tom Binns, one of my most favorite jewelry designers, has a new collection of sparkle bibs!! They are so pretty & ironic I can hardly stand it. The punk version debuted back in 2007 around the neck of photographer Bruce Weber's pup. I think I'd be a nice necklace type of gal, which one would YOU wear?

nude&neon.

The bright contrast between nudes & neons is always an eye-catching one, making the neon shades a little more chic & the nudes a little less drab. Teamwork is dreamwork, kids. You can get the sassy LR sandal here and the neon pink Cambridge Satchel here.
