Mmmhmmm.

Yet another pair of nude heels I reallllly want.





Alice + Olivia Lesley Booties $345 at ShopBop.

Obsessed!

This is the most girly glam coin purse I've seen in awhile! This metal mesh clutch from Felix Ray has an adorable love letter motif and leopard print trim inside.






Must. Have.

Cut It Out

I'm loving everything from the Halston Heritage line this fall--the collection strikes me as interesting yet wearable, and, of course, oh-so-effortlessly-chic. I've had my eyes on a cowl neck drapey dress since last month, but as I was hunting it down tonight, I caught wind of this sexy little number, and now I'm at a loss!

The cut-outs are still tasteful without looking cheap, but lends just enough sex appeal if need be.

Kinda Gorge.

This airy, ultra-femme dress by Catherine Malandrino will make you feel like a human butterfly. I'm dying over the structured yet light-as-air ruffle sleeves and sweet spring pattern.





Relaxed Couture Ruffle dress $545 at ShopBop.com.

LBD Lovin'

Simple but chic, this tasteful little black dress by Caroline Hedaya is also currently on sale at ShopBop.com!





Style tip: I'd cinch the waist with a wide belt to create an even curvier hourglass figure.

Deal of the Day

Spied these Charlotte Ronson casual-cute platform pumps on mega sale ($55.20 from $184) at ShopBop, and would love to know your thoughts. There's a definite preppy Nantucket nod going on, but not necessarily in a bad way. In fact, they're kind of like L.L. Bean boat shoes blown out for the leisurely fashionista, no?

Currently Obsessed With...

I've searched high and low for the perfect pair of flattering, new sunglasses ever since all of mine were tragically stolen from my car a few months back, and I finally discovered them today:



The 'Heloise' by Chloe are oversized, square-framed and ultra-glam...and, oh yes, a mere $378 at retailers like ShopBop.com, eyewear boutiques and high-end department stores. They're subdued yet special, and the frame complements my heart-shaped quite nicely, if I do say so myself. ;)

I think they're a must...

Romper Done Right

How do you feel about rompers? A lot of people have mixed feelings about the one-piece look, but I can vouch that not all rompers are bad. (Of course, on the other hand, some can look downright ridiculous...and certainly not for everyone!)

Enter this looker I found on ShopBop:
Catherine Malandrino's Draped halter romper is the perfect blend of laidback luxury (hey, getting dressed in one fell swoop is most definitely a luxury!) that's classy, elegant and just cutting edge enough to keep people on their toes...without turning too many trendaphobic heads.

Sunny Days!

It's extraordinarily hot and sunny in LA these days, so it seems fitting that I find a perfectly ladylike sundress in a jolt of yellow to celebrate the start of summer.



YaYa Aflalo Lani Dress is on sale for $259 (from $370) at ShopBop.com.

Bella!

Although I fully appreciate the aesthetic effort of Elizabeth and James clothing, I always dismiss it as a line that in no way speaks to my personal style. It's always a little too androgynous and a bit too misshapen, and well, always much too overpriced.

But this sweet spring skirt is bursting with retro femininity (something out of The Sound of Music, perhaps?) that I wouldn't normally expect from E&J.




I dig it.

Madewell for Shopbop=Boring.

I was doing my weekly perusal of ShopBop.com, and I noticed that they're now promoting an exclusive Madewell for Shopbop collection. I thought this was noteworthy since there are still so few Madewell locations in the U.S., and it seems smart to put some pieces online. Even though my own shopping territories are covered (thank you, Century City and Las Vegas!), I feel for those who still haven't checked out the fun, wearable and reasonably priced J.Crew off-shoot label.

However, after clicking around, I was dismayed. Not only is the collection of denim separates incredibly boring, but they're also overpriced.









The price points are definitely a bit more reasonable in store (and they have killer seasonal sales), and might I add that what I love most from Madewell includes their colorful, ultra-thin T-shirt sweaters, gauzy, gorgeous lightweight scarves, long cardigans and chic distressed riding boots--not dull distressed denim shorts and pegleg jeans that I can get just about anywhere, if need be.


I think there's a good market for Madewell's relaxed peppy-meets-uptown preppy aesthetic, and Shopbop should have definitely seized that style over these not-so-brilliant basics.

New Sunnies.

Sad, but true--my car was recently broken into and while nothing terribly valuable was taken, I am missing my favorite pairs of sunglasses. (Making that the second time sunglasses have been stolen from me!) The nerve... :(

Anyway, I probably won't be buying replacement pairs for a few more months, but in the interim, here are a few chic pairs that I wouldn't mind owning...

Winterized Floral Prints

It's still January, but that shouldn't mean your feminine floral prints should take a backseat until spring! YaYa Aflalo's Winnie Dress is a versatile, flattering piece that would look fabulous paired with opaque tights and boots during chillier months, and serve you just as well with a sandal or strappy heel when things heat up.
