Need.This.Now.

Cannot get enough of the YSL Arty Oval Ring...

This stand-out piece is just as perfect with jeans and a T-shirt as it is with cocktail/evening attire, bringing just the right amount of that signature luxe-boho, rive gauche glamour!

Ready for the Resort

I have to say,  I absolutely love the fact that there are so many seasons out there in the fashion stratosphere - resort...cruise...pre-fall...definitely cause for a bit of fashion ADD, in the best possible way! 

With that being said, it's still unbelievable that the New Year is right around corner but with the holiday season comes... the resort collections! 
Having been lucky enough to have already gone on not one, but two warm-weather getaways, I'm definitely experiencing a weakness at the moment for anything light, airy and ready for the sun.

I recently ran across the Resort collections for two labels that you wouldn't necessarily equate with the like and needless to say, between the elegantly relaxed silhouettes, sophisticated prints and vibrant pops of color, I was instantly smitten...

Here are my favorite looks from my new-found label loves!

Piamita
This label which debuted in May, fuses fashion with functionality with loungewear-inspired pieces that look just as right for a night out, as they do for a night in...

A Solid Presentation

The S/S 2012 installment from designers Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs of Cushnie et Ochs , which debuted yesterday, offers clean, tailored lines and cheeky cut-outs against a solid color backdrop (anyone who knows me, knows I have a thing for solids).

The splashes of vibrant pink and citrus hues also add punch to an otherwise neutral pallette.

As S/S collections tend to place more emphasis on prints, it is a refreshing change to see the focus shift back to the power of a solid...in this case, less is definitely more amiright?

What I also love?  I spy with my little eye, black and leather for Spring!

Homage to the Man-Bag

Man Bag [/Maehn-Baeg/]:


Def: A bag with one or more straps worn by males, of any sexual orientation.
Especiclly prevalent in cities and on college campuses.

Ex) Jack's man bag was more stylish than a backpack.

To celebrate the start of NYFW, I found it only fitting to honor the day (and my return from hiatus) by sharing an amazing collection of photos I discovered, courtesy of STREETFSN, all paying homage to arguably one of the most perplexing, and therefore one of my favorite, accessories out there... the man-bag (or murse, if you will)
