Espadrilles: Yay or Nay?

I rocked these when I was 14. Now I'm circling them again (at 31!). What do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

Sophisticated Style

This look is inspiring me to want to dress better. ♥

Pretty Pleats

Love. This. Look. ♥

Holiday Shoes: Deena & Ozzy Glitter Oxfords

Ooo... I want these! And all that jazz.

See more sparkly things to get you in the holiday spirit.

Miami Countdown begins...

(Lisa Michelle, and me, in Miami last year during my wedding venue scout.)

Happy Monday, sweet peeps! Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend involving lots of stuffing, afternoon naps, and Black Friday scores. Alex + I purchased a small Christmas tree for our tiny apartment, and I got an early start on holiday shopping for friends and family. :) How was your weekend?

As we mentioned last week, Lisa Michelle and I are going to Art Basel this week in Miami Beach, so stayed tuned for a guide and photos! xo

P.S. On the subject of art, last night Alex + I watched Tamra Davis's documentary, Jean-Michel Basquiat: Radiant Child. Amazing unseen footage. Highly recommend!

Colorful Coffee

Loving these Pantone coffee mugs. Wouldn't they make a great holiday gift? A stylish way to start your morning. ♥

P.S. Check out the cool new Pantone Hotel in Brussels.

Pretty Plates

With Thanksgiving next week, I've been thinking about dinnerware + decor. I'm loving these West Elm metallic leaf plates. Seasonal yet affordable. xo

Time to Sparkle

These party dresses are getting me excited for upcoming holiday parties. Sparkly dresses, black tights, fancy hair + evening perfume... it's my favorite time of year for dressing up. What about you, sweet peeps? Will you be dolling up? xo

P.S. How fab is this fur coat?

P.P.S. More party dresses. These are seriously sexy. I want all of these!

Spoil Yourself

I picked up Claus Porto Mineral Bath Salts, this weekend in Hudson, and am in ♥. I'll admit, I bought them for the beautiful eye-candy packaging, but after using them last night, it turns out the salts themselves truly are amazing. From Portugal, each one has a unique scent like Citron Verbena and Iris Lavender, and the minerals leave your skin feeling baby soft, perfect for the upcoming change in weather. Spoil Yourself :) | Claus Porto

P.S. Loving the gift sets too.

Lust List: Winter Coats

It's that time of year... Winter coat shopping time! I've been wearing the same purple winter coat for a few years too long now. It started out puffy and chic, and now its looking sad and a little too Grey Gardens if you know what I mean. (Hello, grocery cart!) So I've decided to do a little online hunting in an effort to revamp my look. What do you think of these lovelies?

Loving the dramatic collar on this coat by Max Azria (above)...

And this cute military-inspired parka by Marc Jacobs...

And J. Crew. Simple yet they always gets it right...

And Stella McCartney. A girl can dream, right?...

What about you, sweet peeps? What coat will you be wearing this year? xo!

P.S. See more fab coats here (Fall) and here (Winter).

Lust List: Chunky Rings

I had dinner recently with a friend who was wearing a big chunky ring that I couldn't quite take my eyes off the whole time. I thought it was so fun + playful that I've been lusting for one ever since. What do you think of these? Could be fun to wear with a messy bun, over-sized sweater + leggings...xo | Rings above by Manu

P.S. More chunky rings on Etsy

Pesqueira Boutique

I have a few finds from the adorable Buenos Aires-based shop named Pesqueira, and every time I wear something from them it gets tons of love. So I just had to share the shop with you! They have the most adorable dresses (and accessories -- check out that cute laptop bag!) + online shopping. What more can a gal ask for? xo | Shop: Pesqueira

Daisy Dukes

Because summer should be about flirting... ;) xo (Clockwise from top left: American Apparel $32.00; Erin Wasson $300.00; Opening Ceremony $98.00; Tibi $200.00)

P.S. - Bitty shorts not your thing? See more styles at Refinery29.

Madewell Love

Meet my new vice...xo Shop: Madewell

Portable Perfumes

How cool are these portable perfumes? I've been wanting a new scent, but without splurging, and these little roll-ons are perfect. Around $20 each + small enough to carry in your purse for when you need a little refresher. Available in various scents (my fave: Issey Miyake). Shop: Sephora

Our 6 month wedding anniversary...

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely World Cup-watching weekend! My weekend kicked off with the unexpected delivery of this beautiful bouquet of orchids from Alex, on Friday, celebrating our 6-month wedding anniversary! He's such a romantic... I'm one lucky gal! (I love you, babe!) Then Saturday we ended up doing an all-day after-World Cup-bar crawl, with friends, in Cobble Hill. (It's so cute out there! I ♥ Bird Shop + Dear Fieldbinder). We ended up at the Waterfront Ale House where you can help yourself to free popcorn from their popcorn machine. Pretty cool. :) And last night my sister, Lisa, and her friend, Steph, made Emeril's Cajun Jambalaya for their True Blood Season 3 kick-off gathering. Spicy goodness! Delicious, ladies! xo
