want: MM6 legging

Some amazing leggings just popped up on Creatures of Comfort. MM6 with an allover striped juxtaposed geometrically as if they were cut up and re-attached. A perfect legging to put together with simple dresses or wear as pictures with pop colors shoes. And kind of a steal at $135...I bet these sell out quickly.

And speaking of the shoes, from the Spring/Summer Woman by Common Projects, the red slip-on oxfords are just beyond words. I would like to look around and see if they come in black or maybe navy. As much as I love the red, I know they would be much more versatile in a darker color, especially because they are pretty pricey at $449.

Bags that POP

I have suddenly seen a few celebs with bright colored bags but not in the usual hues instead opting for "mellow" pop colors like canary yellow and turquoise. Here Nicole Richie on her way from the gym on a cold LA day with a new yellow YSL.

And supposed style icon Alexa Chung with an absolutely perfect turquoise Burberry bag while at LFW and of course front row at the Burberry show.

I love how both women wore simple but chic in all black outfits to put the focus all on the bag. Really makes them pop!

L O V E

What is there to say? It's amazing to me that these are paparazzi shots and not from the pages of a real fashion spread. Sorry but it's the rare celebrity that can pull this off, supermodel or not. And she really makes me want to wear my vintage fur every day. And i heart the bag. Also definitely a vintage piece.

(And sorry for the lack of posting. My house is finally done so I'll be posting more. This spring feels like one of the better s/s seasons in a while...)

those striped Hasbeens

I mentioned these a little while back after spotting them being worn by the founder of Swedish Hasbeens on a feature showcasing her apartment (in the Swedish home magazine Residence). They are finally available and would be adorable with any Winter outfit.

And if you're feeling really adventurous, they also come in Rainbow (!) And all sales on these boots actually benefit the LGBT-movement (!!)

Unfortunately the black/white version is only avaialbe on the Hasbeens site in a size 40, but they have them on endless.com if you are interested.

Stella kids!

After buying as much Stella McCartney for GapKids that I could get my hands on, I've been pretty bummed that the Spring collection was her last. Alas, she has answered my prayers. Stella McCartney kids launches November 3 online and in stores (her stores, I assume?) And, the BEST part - prices will be between $20 and $200. Check it out...

I am loving the peacoat, print bohemian dress, reindeer sweater dress, skinny jeans and the yellow wellies, of course! sign up to be on their list and see the cute video here: Stella Kids

Paris Fashion Week

This week's Chanel show was full of some great looks from their usual celebrity lineup. I loved looks by some of the lesser known on the fashion week circuit. Then while browsing the shots from outside the shows, I found two other interesting looks. I'm loving the angular '80s blazer over short shorts or miniskirt. It is very eighties but the combination keeps it from looking dated and instead it looks chic. And along the same lines, the angular oversized double-breasted coat is a fresh take on the oversize trend, the double-breasting adds more structure and again keeps it from looking dated. The LV show was off the hook but more on that later...

no6 + Baggu

Today I decided to finally buy that reusable bag I've been wanting in the sailor stripe from Baggu (Don't worry I haven't been using plastic, just free promotional tote bags, which are getting kind of ratty). Well, what a nice surprise that the lovely No6 has apparently done a collaboration with Baggu and has a whole host of chic prints for me to choose from! Aren't they adorable? Now all I have to do is decide which one...
