Oh My Ombre!

Do you like patent leather? Do you like suede?  Can't choose just one? Well, now you don't have to! The smart and fancy people who bring us Theyskens' Theory and Maison Martin Margiela took these two leather delights and said "Hey, lets put them both on one shoe!".  I'm pretty sure that's how the conversation went.

I'm captivated by the spread of ombre into our lives.  What other recent trend has spread from clothing to hair and now to foot wear?!  These shoes are one more way you can show the world how much you enjoy the gradation of one color/fabric/hair tone to another.

Chopped and Cropped.

No matter what every September when I pack away my spring pieces and begin planning what I'll be wearing for fall I always say "I need more pants!".  Okay maybe I yell it, I'm prone to exaggerations.
This year I'm enjoying a cropped pant with a cuff.  I'll pair them with socks and heels, oh yes I will.  Or maybe a loafer or boot.

MM6 x Opening Ceremony On Sale Now!

MM6 just launched they're very first collaborative effort with who else, but Opening Ceremony.  When the pieces were first hit the Barney's website they sold out instantly and I'm sure the same will happen now that the cheeky, convertible pieces are up on the OC site. I really enjoy the piece below. It's a shirt, it's a dress and back again. Take a look here to see the many ways to wear it.

Isn't that just so clever?

Peacock Escapes from Central Park to Shop FW11!

I love that a peacock got loose from Central Park yesterday. It seems like the beginning of a delightful children's book. I imagine she just wanted to do a little fall shopping on the UES. In honor of this great escape I've selected a few items I thought she might like. Unless, she's over the whole feather trend...

SS11: The Photo Made Me Do It!

Every season without fail I see a beautiful image that makes my pulse race. I then become desperate to accuire the items I've seen in these beautiful photos and cannot stop until I make them mine. My panties are still in a twist over the Celine bag Harley carried below at Coachella.

Photo from Harpers Bazaar.


I did however, purchase the Stella citrus skirt and tried to convince my friend to get the Prada bananas so we could recreate the image below. That's how nuts I went over this photo from Jak & Jill.

I can't wait to see what images while force me to empty my wallet for FW11.
