Anchor Me Some Accessories Aweigh
January 8, 2009
Don’t you just love unexpected and playful finds? Or one that inspires you for activities? Another beauty from my shopping incident the other day- I love it. This adorable little set looks like candy to me, it just pops with its bold cherry red color against the oh so bright white. It is perfect.
So darling and playful, I love it. Ready for a cruise or something of the sort, very inspiring. In the meantime they add character to any outfit.
They’ve put me in the mood for a cozy night with a movie- Anchors Aweigh in fact! Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, what is there not to love? Jerry from Tom & Jerry even makes an appearance, as one of my favorite childhood cartoons it makes it even more cozy and lovable.
A Delicate And Fashionably Cute Ring
January 7, 2009
I love cute little finds like this! I spent much of the day shopping with my friend visiting from out of town, and after collecting many shopping bags I came across this ring.
I had actually already checked out when it caught my eye- how darling of a ring is this? I love it, it looks so delicate and is simply adorable.
I love subtle details and anything unique, so I am looking forward to incorporating this little treasure into my fashion.
How pretty would this look holding a cocktail, mmmm- going to have to see it for myself!
Ciao!
Feather Fashion
September 23, 2008
Feathers and fashion, they can be a nice compliment to one another or an absolute mess. I think some well thought out and creatively placed feathers can come together lovely.
No one wants to look like they are wearing a chicken suit or are nesting birds in their hair, but again- a few subtle touches are beautiful and elegant.
I found this bracelet a while ago as part of a set. I loved the colors and softness on a bangle, and it would work well with most any outfit, especially those of browns and neutral shades.
Now, the set the shop had suggested with it would have been far too much for me. I think they were trying to hard to make it work- a chain link necklace draped in matching feathers, large earrings with the same…. yikes. Even those two pieces alone were enough to scream coo coo. But the bracelet was nice and simple- I think that is definitely key.
Most elegant and fashionable pieces are simple, which makes them so bold and beautiful. I am all for feathers- in small amounts and worn well.
Beauty Is Back And Loves Armani
September 16, 2008
Alright, I am hurricane Ike’d out (city is a disaster though everyone is definitely working together to get things back up and running- endless large trees scattering the streets and homes and many without power or water).
It is time for some cheering up and for me, that means food and fashion. Let’s start with a little look of fashion.
In my previous posts I mentioned I took off for some relaxation in a hotel some 150 miles away from the disaster of the city. We did some beautiful shopping and I couldn’t help but fall into this gorgeous Giorgio Armani dress.
I love Giorgio Armani- what isn’t there to love of such beautiful designs? The fabric simply melts and falls perfectly into place, it is quite simply like heaven.
And this dress, too, melts and flows off the skin just like heaven. The color is gorgeous (I love lavender/lilac shades, so soft yet so bold and elegant). Ah, heavenly!
I am starting to feel refreshed already, wow. Much more to come *hint*hint* especially shoes and delicious food 
ciao xx
Yes, I Know My Sunglasses Are Big, Thank You
August 21, 2008
Why, yes… I did know my sunglasses are bigger than my head- thank you! Some people are such comedians. I actually do get asked that from time to time- if I am aware of the size of my sunglasses to the ratio of my head. And I do.
I love Oliver Peoples, of all my sunglasses I cannot help but keep coming back to these. Such a classic style with a modern twist- the thing I look for most in fashion. This pair in particular is the ‘Heroine’ from Oliver Peoples-l o v e them!
I will be wearing these for quite some time as well. Less a trend and more a classic. It is funny how things blow up overnight. I’ll never forget shopping in Cannes for the biggest watch I could find- and covered in crystals at that. Something I concocted in my mind and had to have. It was impossible to find, and once I discovered it I was ever so pleased with it. Then- some time after returning to the states- it was everywhere and all that *could* be found. Made it a bit less desirable and more of a trend. I still had my fun with it though. The sunglasses blew up quite the same way.
Oh well, more options and designs, no? I am always great with that. It is all in how you wear it anyway. This year I am feeling more traditional classic designs in bold new colors. Whether or not its the next thing to blow up, I will be looking for it. More to come.
