YSL....

I love YSL's accessories.  I think its mostly because they are a little more attainable to the gal with a regular job than most of the other clothing they offer.  I blogged about the arty ring a few months ago which keeps moving down on my wish list in favor of other items that I will wear more.   With that said I saw the below image on the Sea of Shoes blog the other day and decided that I needed to devise some type of plan to get these shoes! I don't know how and I don't know when but,  aren't they amazing???  Totally 70s and totally in for Spring.  I hope you all had a great week and an even better weekend!

Leather I.D......

After taking a brief hiatus from Etsy I finally found a moment to see what new products they had to offer.  I came upon one of those items that you don't realize that you might need until you see that its for sale.  They are these great leather id tags and are sold to go on luggage but I think could also be a great addition to any gift as a gift tag to then later be used on luggage.  The color of leather has the perfect balance of highs and lows and will only look better with time, and the best part is you can make it your own by adding any verbiage you choose.

Shopping in River Oaks...

I was in Houston this past weekend spending time with my family.  The weather was less than desirable the entire time I was there.  I really wished that I owned some Wellies, and since this weekend they have been added to the short list of items to add to my wardrobe.  I took some quick shots while out doing some shopping.  I like to keep it pretty casual and I also got a chance to wear my new bag.   Yay!

Gap Blazer, Fossil Chambray Shirt and Bag, Martin and Osa Pants, and Banana Boots

My Poetry.....

There hasn't been a celebrity who could pull off a blush pink gown since the infamous Ralph Lauren dress Gwyneth Paltrow wore to the Oscars over 10 years ago.  Well, on Sunday Lea Michele looked flawless in her gown for the Golden Globes.  She is the girl we love to hate on Glee and there isn't a single thing I hate about this dress.  I don't know who her stylist is but they somehow they always make her look oh so glamorous, and her blush pink Oscar de la Renta gown is no exception.  Carrie would be so proud!

The Chicest of Messenger Bags....

The messenger bag trend doesn't seem to be slowing down any, especially with the Proenza Schouler roll out of his take on this very popular style.  I have seen many colors and sizes of this bag but after seeing the below today it totally made me think of the upcoming Spring season.  I love the everything about it, the antique gold hardware, the dusty rose color, and the added texture from the material that its made of, suede.  Yummy....  I hope you are all having a great Monday!

My Take on Black and Brown......

I have a confession to make. I used to really, really, dislike when I saw outfits that combined the colors black and brown.  After being glued to the TV watching episodes of House of Style and Fashion TV back in the day and all I knew was that it was a big no no, and that stuck with me for quite sometime.  Since then I have come into my own when it comes to my personal style and more and more this color combo has grown on me.  I saw the below image today and its the perfect execution of these 2 colors.  The white stripe lightens up the black and the burnt caramel fringe bag adds some interest to the outfit, so lovely.  I hope you all had a great week and for those of you that have one, enjoy an even better long weekend.

Paris....

Have you seen the latest Free People catalog? In a word its AMAZING!!! For the spring season the Free People team chose Paris as their back drop. The clothing encompasses everything that is beautiful, bohemian and girly rolled in to their staple silhouettes. I couldn't post the entire catalog like I wanted to because I love everything, so I just picked a few of my favorites.
