Fleabag

31 May

Spotted these bags by Fleabag over on Oh Joy! and immediately fell in love with them. They have such a modern, tomboy-meets-fashionable-gal look, plus they’re stylish enough to carry around every day and big enough for day trips!

I think my favorite colors are Saddle and White :)  See all the styles here.

Bicoastal Wonder

10 May

Have you guys heard of the blog Atlantic-Pacific? I just discovered Bee and her magical, sparkling wonder of a fashion blog and I’m always floored by the outfits she’s wearing. The first time I browsed through her site, it was just one fabulous outfit after another and I found myself uttering an audible “Whoa.” She posts every single day and looks like a gem every. single. day. Those layers! Those accessories! Those hairstyles! Oh, Bee, I’m stuck on you like…well, honey.

Some more recent outfits of Ms. Bee for your viewing pleasure:

DIY Neutral Wrap Heel

7 Apr

What do you guys think of these DIY wrap heels from P.S. I Made This? I think it would be fun to use black stockings and wrap black heels, too. Would you wear these?

p.s. I got back from Ojai last night so I’ll write all about it on Tuesday :)

A Handful Of Whimsy

Orwell Clutch from TsuruBride on EtsyOrwell Clutch from TsuruBride on Etsy Orwell Clutch from TsuruBride on Etsy

I have a thing for whimsical, albeit odd, animal-themed accessories and clothing. When I was 15, my mom had to secretly throw away a shirt I’d begged for in Cape Cod eight years earlier with a picture of a cat and the words “Cape Clawed” on the front. So when I saw these purses on Etsy from TsuruBride, I almost died.

I love the idea of pairing these girlish animal clutches with a lovely, “grown-up” outfit. After all, everything — even animal-themed items — in moderation.

A Laptop Bag You Can Make On The Go

16 Feb

DIY Hoodie Laptop Bag

Over the years, the contents of my purse has gotten more and more out of control. Since I’m constantly on the road, I end up taking everything I could possibly require in any situation and stuffing it into my bag — which now looks like something from “Mary Poppins.”

So I love the idea of being able to consolidate items that I’ll be toting along anyway, like my laptop and a hoodie. Luckily, this tutorial from The Trendy Girl shows you how to do just that: take your emergency hoodie and turn it into a laptop bag.

It’s not the cutest “bag” I’ve ever seen, but it gets the job done and it’s super convenient. Now if only I could find a way to turn my scarf into an umbrella.

I’m With The Ban.do

9 Feb

Ban.do Flower Trio Clip - $45

Ban.do Girly Satin Bow Headband - $35

How sweet and fun are these headbands from Los Angeles-based company Ban.do? I’m all for kicking it up a notch with hair accessories, and these would surely do the trick. There are plenty of Valentine’s Day-themed accessories to choose from, if you’re so inclined, plus the lovely and chic black label line for those who don’t mind the extra expense.

Gorgeous Gold

3 Feb

There’s something about the look of gold that is so warm and romantic, and I love these beautiful rings from Elisa Solomon. Wouldn’t these also make such elegant engagement rings?

It’s Bundle-Up Time

11 Nov

Brrrr! After many warm months, it’s finally getting COLD here and especially windy, too! Makes me want to bundle up in these big, cozy scarves and hats from Yokoo. (They’re on the splurge-y side though, so they’ll be going straight to the wish list.)

A Ruffly, Romantic DIY

19 Oct

Ruffles and Stuff posted this dreamy necklace she created herself with an easy DIY tutorial from Poppy Chic Designs. Doesn’t it look like it could’ve come straight from Anthro or J.Crew (mine and Leslie’s two biggest shopping weakspots)? I’m definitely booking this one for when I’m feeling a little crafty, a little strapped for cash, and a little in the mood for something pretty. So, right now.

Calling All Collar Lovers

19 Oct

Spotted this collar–yup, just the collar–over on Poppytalk by ulala on Etsy and thought it was quite fun and cute. What do you guys think? Would you wear a collar necklace?

p.s. I know I would definitely wear this.
