aritzia spring lookbook

Excuse me while I drool over Aritzia's Spring 2010 Lookbook...

 

  

  

  

  

signature style. check!

 I see myself in so many elements of this outfit. Slouchy wool coat. Check! Opaque black tights. Check! Over-sized pashmina. Check! Platform booties. Check!

If I had a signature style, this comes close to it! 

Now, where can I get myself a pair of those gloves. love em!

*sigh*

I'm dreaming of you...

Obviously, my foot is still recovering, but making progress...slowly. I'm done with the crutches and The Vicodin (thank GOD!) but I have a feeling I'll be wearing the boot for another couple weeks. Today was also the first time in the last week where i was able to stay at my house alone and drive myself to and from work.

So...as soon as the boot comes off, I'm going out to buy me some expensive sexy high heels!

"the whole extent of the heavens"

That is the Latin definition for Totokaelo, the online expansion of Impluse boutique, one of my favorite's in Seattle...or any city, for that matter! Each piece of clothing in there is unique and sooo Euro chic. Their blog is one I browse daily for style inspiration, as they put together the best outfits and now they've expanded their website and personalized it! You apply to become a member and after you're accepted you then create a page for yourself where you can save items you ♥, answer questions like what are your signature items, style inspiration and favorite places to stay, dine and more!
You can also get to know other members online and see what styles they're into now. Best thing about the customized website is that you can ♥ your favorite items and when they go on sale, Impulse will alert you. Love that!

p.s. Katie, I know you're going to want to get on this asap!

can i get an amen?

finally!! Topshop has launched it's US website and is opening a store in NY in November!

When I lived in Scotland this was my favorite store! Soon, very soon I will start stocking up on cardigans, skinny jeans (they are the best! Everytime I wear them, people ask where they're from.)and ballet flats! I'm so happy to get a lil bit of the UK in the USA!

Going out tonight!

to celebrate my dear friends Kim & Jimmy's birthdays (yes, they're married and have the same name and birthdays 1 day apart!) I want to look extra special. I'm feeling these looks and wondering how I could pull them together with pieces I already have in my closet??

something fancy?...
something funky?...
something sophisticated?...
something sienna?...

back in time

Lo and I watched the film Atonement last night. I could watch a period piece film every night and never complain. Especially this one. Yes, it's a bit depressing, but the fashion is amazing. It's amazing how after enough time has passed, fashion comes back around - like the one-piece swim suits, high waisted skirts and men's wear for ladies...






oh. and James McAvoy is never bad to look at either. d*mn Scotsmen.
