Need.This.Now.

There's something about this romper that I cannot get enough of!
So effortless and beautifully textured...




To me, this recalls a more boho-inspired version of the looks presented for the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2011 shows seen below:

M Missoni + Gilt

Gilt Groupe provides such amazing styling for their shoots, and the looks provided for this M Missoni sale are a perfect example.


Though usually one to stick with neutral, solid shades, these looks scream utter perfection for a vacation on the Riviera and had me wishing for one as soon as I laid eyes on these looks...

Au Naturel

Whether the collections are drawing inspiration from Mother Nature or featuring it directly, I'm loving the raw, organic feel of these jewelry pieces!

 I'd pair these Twenty8Twelve shorts with a blazer and topknot.

Shop Gilt, Give Hope




Gilt Groupe, the mecca of luxury flash sale sites, has joined forces with GlobalGiving, a non-profit organization, to aid in the relief funds for those affected by the catastrophic tsunami and earthquakes that ravaged Japan on March 11th.

While you're browsing Gilt's wonderfully curated inventory of designer apparel, accessory and lifestyle deals, why not take an extra moment and help out those in need.

The best part - any donation made by Gilt members will be matched by the company up to the amount of $20,000.

Besides, nothing compliments an outfit like good Karma.

Who knew it was possible to covet (quite literally) every piece from a collection, season after season?

The line's fun yet polished aesthetic is effortlessly chic and timeless, and needless to say I've been smitten for years.

A few highlights from the current Spring 2011 collection:



     


Tavle Daybag
in arguably the most wearable
shade of yellow I've ever laid eyes upon

















                                           Skylar Romper and Maribelle Sac




 


in Bright Pastel Forest






                                  


                           

                Arely Bis Dress
                                                                          in Giant Balloon Stripe with Eva Shoe and Stefanie Bag







 Irene Sandal
The contrast of the cobalt blue against the chocolate brown is amazing

Another Round of Shots, Please

Who doesn't love a cocktail every now and then? (...emphasis on the now)

Never be without your favorite, as BevShots delivers a dose of your choice libation as striking wall decor.
Microscopic images of various beers, wines, liquors and more are magnified, rendering unique, artistic, if not surprising imagery.

The site also offers an array of options for your prints, from wrapped canvas to coasters, to be displayed.


We all know tequila can usher in a few interesting twists to a party, but who knew the outcome could also be so pretty?


Search through the gallery here to shop for your favorite images, or if you're like me, begin your search by your drink of choice!

A few of my favorites (in no particular order....) :











Vodka


















Gin





















Irish Pale Lager





















English Oatmeal Stout

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Not Just For the Wedding Day

Even though a post highlighting wedding attire would seem more fitting for the month of June, I couldn't help but jump the gun.

The timing just seems so appropriate for me, not because I am a bride-to-be (because I most certainly am NOT), but rather because this is a big year of weddings for many others I know. 
I am a bridesmaid in two weddings this year, and am expected to attend several others as well.
 Further, being as interested and engrossed in fashion as I am, this is one of the few niches that I have not yet had a real reason to explore, and remain relatively unversed in.

With that being said, I've jumped right in, offering my assistance and opinion as best I can, helping to track down just the right dress.

This is how I've discovered a crop of new bridal sites, which not only offer gorgeous options for brides and brides-to-be, but also a wide array of beautiful, unique accessories, lingerie and party dresses that even those of us, sans fiance, can wear and appreciate!

BHLDN
Lo Boheme
Shopbop Wedding Boutique
Jenny Packham

BHLDN
From the company behind Anthropologie, this site officially premiered Valentines Day of this year, and offers the same quirky, yet elegant aesthetic
























 A resource for beautiful, vintage-inspired accoutrements

 
 

 Long since an absolute favorite site of mine for ready-to-wear, Shopbop now offers a separate, specialized wedding boutique highlighting gorgeous designer options for those looking for classic to edgier looks, and everything in between






Jenny Packham
Completely gratuitous fashion viewing, whether for bridal or ready-to-wear...absolutely stunning!
