I Want - No, I Need Timo’s Draped Collar

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a little obsessed with scarves. I’ve been like this for at least 1.7 years now.

In one corner of my bedroom sits a handmade leather trunk that my best bud brought me back from Africa, which I love, but you can barely even see it due to the massive amount of scarves that just seem to boil, spill, and crawl out of it. I’ve actually told my friend that she need to go back to Africa and buy me a bigger trunk.

That being said, it should come as no big surprise that I’m sort of freaking out over Timo Weiland’s Draped Collar - and yes, Santa baby, I’ll definitely take one in the navy blue duchess satin, thank you ever so much. For this I’ll be as nice or as naughty as I need to be…

It also completely reminds me of that fabulous Bottega Veneta ribboned coat I was obsessed with just a while ago. sigh.

Rock ‘n Roll: Burberry & MTV’s VMA

Burberry Spike Bracelet Fall 08 CollectionSo my birthday might be over two months away, but I just wanted to point out that I love this amazing spiked bracelet from Burberry.

Its just crazy, sexy, cool and will look unreal when worn over gloves during the colder months. So, why don’t I just buy it for myself? Because I just treated myself to a trio of metallic chain bangles by Philip Crangi, which I’m dying to receive.

Ah…on a sort-of-related side note, did you watch MTV’s Video Music Awards tonight? Does anyone seriously think Britney Spears deserved to win two moon men for her ‘piece of me’ video? Do you love that guy Russell Brand as much as I do?? Anyway, If I had gone to the VMAs tonight, you can bet that this Burberry beauty would have been hanging from my little wrist - what could be more rock ‘n roll than that? I guess having Pamela Anderson dangling from it instead?

p.s. I took the day off from fashion week to do some seriously exhausting shopping, but promise to have posts about the Abaeté and ADAM by Adam Lippes shows up tomorrow.

Little Obsession: Free People Dress

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

I first spotted this lovely little dress last weekend on a cute girl in Starbucks, and then saw the exact same dress on another cute girl Monday morning by Madison Square Park as I waited in line for my coffee.

With a knit navy bodice, gold lamé waistband, and embroidered birds across the skirt, the dress seems very ‘Anthropologie’ to me, although it’s actually available at Urban Outfitters for just $138.

I don’t usually like buying something I’ve already seen out on the streets, but there is something so darling about this little dress… Anyway, I plan on wearing it for the remaining summer days with simple sandals, and then during the fall with navy tights and a big, chunky knit cardigan.

p.s. it looks waaay cuter in person than it does in this image…buy it here

Little Obsession: Frog Prince

New bag crush: Marc Jacobs Eve Flo Ranna Pouchette
Price: $795 at Barneys

I’m sort of annoyed at myself because I am really not a Marc Jacobs fan, but (for some reason) I keep posting things about/or involving his designs.

Anyway, this bag that really is adorable and after looking at it this weekend at Barneys, I’m now sort of obsessing over it (although the leather really isn’t the best). The thing about Marc Jacobs is that he is over the top and fun and crazy. He isn’t afraid about sending out into the world a little green bag embellished with a big golden frog with glowing emerald eyes, and I truly love that.

Maybe I am - gasp! - a Marc Jacobs fan after all.
