Wu Me.
I love the layers and deep colors that fall brings, and can not wait to transition into autumn appropriate clothing. A dress that speaks to my more demure and buttoned up side is the Aslot Dress by Jason Wu. The color and shape is just gorgeous, as is the leather belt that it comes with. I also have a feeling that the pleats make the skirt dance a bit.
I would definitely buy it...if only the price tag were not more than my rent.

No title can live up to this jacket.
In the eternal words of Rachel Zoe, "I die." This jacket is so beyond insane, and looks like a certain leather jacket that costs much more! There are ribbed sleeve insets that make it easier to move in, but the main attraction is the shape. I am officially obsessed. Aren't you?!

Mock Croc
Please excuse my recent absence. I have been so busy and tired lately, that blogging has taken a back seat. I thought I would just gush about my newest desire: the architectural reptile satchel from Deena & Ozzy at Urban. I can't tell if it is going to be too large for me, but by the looks of things, it seems like the perfect structured bag for fall. It can be worn on the shoulder or as a cross body bag (and lord knows I love a cross body bag)! Only time will tell if this makes it into my closet, but it is a huge contender due to the amazing price. Enjoy the lusting!

All Nighter
I am currently back home, visiting my parents. As usual, when I am home my mom loves taking advantage of having a shopping buddy, and last night we hit up the local makeup counters. She treated me to some much needed products, including Urban Decay's All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Spray. I have not found a primer that I absolutely love, and the girl that was assisting us suggested I use a setting spray instead. The spray claims to keep your makeup in place for 16 hours, and keep it from melting or dehydrating in all types of bad weather! What could be better? All Nighter spray is also vegan, cruelty free, and dermatologist tested.

Broke&Beautiful
As you may remember, one of my best friends visited me in July. (She and I share the same guilty pleasure- youtube beauty gurus.) We had a fantastic time talking makeup, fashion, and about the future of our blogs. Kim has always been talented when it comes to makeup, always one to be doing other girls' makeup before dances and has a killer eye for color. She just started a new blog about beauty and being on a budget (something we can all relate too). I highly recommend you check it out! She and I will be collaborating with our blogs soon, so stay tuned for that!
What are you waiting for? Check it out!

Spotlight On: Free People Jewelry
I was browsing the Free People website and stumbled upon so many great finds, especially in the jewelry and accessories area. I am loving the tribal influence in these pieces, and truly wish I could buy all of these necklaces! Unfortunately some of these are out of my price range, but they are great inspiration for vintage shopping.

Fitness Friday
I am on a little health kick right now, and wanted to share a few fitness themed favorites with you. I love these pants by Hard Tail. My boyfriend isn't a fan of the maternity style rollover, but they are incredibly comfy and great for working out. Next is a great little sweater perfect for lounging in or wearing as a warm up. The bow makes it so much cuter than your average sweat top. Lastly, If you are trying to get healthy like me, you need a bag to tote around all your water bottles and protein shakes in. May I suggest the Puma First Round Shopper? It's got the athletic feel, while keeping a sleek and stylish edge.Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Destination Dreaming
Lately, I have been dreaming of traveling. The boyfriend and I keep brainstorming of all the places we want to visit. Although it's not possible for us to go anywhere right now, a girl can dream right? This is what I imagine wearing on our plane trips around the globe!

Her Name Is Summer
As a girl living in Los Feliz in LA, I see a lot of indie/hipster girls. I love the effortless style that they have, but due to my curvy figure, loose fitting clothes just don't always work on me. I realize that there is one indie icon that has amazing style, and also looks polished- someone that I really admire. Ms. Zooey Deschanel. With her dark bangs, and endless stylish skirts and dresses, Zooey Deschanel is the epitome of indie chic.

Om
I love feathers. Whether it be a single one intertwined in a headband, or a feather pattern on a blouse, I can't get enough. Alkemie Jewelry decided to revamp the feather earring of generations past and truly create a statement. Their Om earring will have you breathing deep with excitement. Sitting at 8 inches long, including a reclaimed metal 'om' symbol, this head turner will have everyone in the room asking how to get your style. Meditate on that thought.
