Parisian Love

-What I Love Right Now-

This look is lovely! I already miss spring, but plan to transition this type of look into fall. I love the red quilted bag! Yummy!

Vogues obsessions and perfect choices for fall!

I love the print and all this saturated color. Cute 1940s glamour that really works! I am loving it!

Lovely and smart for work with the white sleeves. I can make this work well. It is going to be integrated into my wardrobe.

The prefect fall bootie is exactly right on!

By the way, I have to make this and I just figured it out. There will be a DIY post coming soon so stay posted! xo

Friday: fancy free reviewing Stanton James!

-August's ArtWalk-

Explored Stanton James

Stanton James: an awesome new store, carrying great designers and their own line that's fabulous in DTLA! HOT Stuff!

I wore Jolt acid washed style stretch pants jeans, a Vintage T-Shirt, Me Too silver flats, my green supple leather Tano bag, a Cheap Monday necklace, a layered chain necklace by The Extras, The Extras layered rhinestone bracelets with leather bracelets, a black rhinestone watch and my favorite Nervous System Necklace (gift from my hubby)! 

One of the adorable owners, Brittany, minus her co-owner, Brooke. She's rocking my favorite line, Phillip & Lillian, of recycled leather bags! Love!!!

Such a cute store! 

Looks like Prada's Spring line, but less neon! You'll fall in love with all their accessories! 

Stop on by ASAP and you will not be sorry! It's a great store with a perfectly cultivated collection of lines and their own impressive line made here in LA! They're located at 600 S Spring St. in LA 90014! They're a must see in the Downtown area, but for those of you that are in other places or live out of town they're an online store too! Check out the site! Must buy too! So fun and such a great array of fripperies to choose from. This is what the yelpers & others are saying! 

I even had to stop by again to show the exterior display on the way home. Too cute! I m still in dire need of these off-white lace shorts. I have been craving them all summer. I found the cutest pair in both off-white and black at Stanton James!

Krazy is Cool!

Kris is Awesome and Check Out His Style!

This is my adopted son! I get to choose him! Isn't he adorable and all grown up? I think he is such a talent (smart, funny and unique)! He is also a remarkable photographer! I appreciate that he helps me out by taking a few shots for me here and there and they're beautiful! I will share a few, but you need to go to his flickr site and check him out yourselves because he is so cool!

Isn't he just cute as a button! Julia, his girlfriend, I featured earlier this week, but I thought I would give them their own posts since they are both so magnanimous! Julia took all photos above!

Above are a few of the shots he took that evening! And they are only some of the breadth of his work! Like I said, check out his work on Flickr and know there is more coming! 

A Bit of Fun and Favorites on a Fancy Free Friday!

-First Post this Friday- 
Friday Favorites: Sales

Too Many Designer Sales and Affordable Things!

Weekend Sale Round Up:

1.) Boy By Band of Outsiders at Gilt: affordable sale items! Very nice transitional items that will take you straight from summer into fall with poise & style, gracefully. Rock it or be inspired.

2.) Catherine Malandrino Gorgeousness awaits you at Gilt or Net a Porter. The sales are way too good to be true. I am in Love!

3.) Vera Wang Silk Swag Boy Shorts are AMAZING over at Gilt, but there is only size 4 left so go get them if you are that size! They're hot! Sizzlin' sexy and superbly cut for a perfect fit and look to mix with numerous closet staples. I want them, but alas I am not a size 4 and even though the price is so silly crazy cheap at $79., I have overspent way to much on a pair of shoes, pilates classes and a chemical peel. Oopsie doops! 

Perfect. Right? Now you are feeling me! I love these. Buy them and send me a picture of you wearing so I can turn green with envy instead of red from chemical peeling. Lol!

3.) Accessories and SHOES over at Gilt are so amazing and so affordable too! Shoes, Omg. Shoes, Omg. SHOES, OMG! Let's get 'em!

 

                                                                   

 

                                                        

                            

4.) Forever 21 Sale Items! The items are affordable and will incorporate into almost any outfit in any wardrobe. There are great basics and some interesting statement pieces! 

                                                                            

                                                                   

PS: Menswear can be bought by a woman or borrowed from your man and these types of staples are fantastic items to add into every woman's closet! I borrow from my hubby all the time, but I also buy from the men's department when my hubby starts complaining that I stained or stretched something of his out! It's a lot easier to be on the other side of the argument and let him do the begging! Buying vests, skinny ties and men's cardigans because they are fabulous and blend seamlessly into my look even when I'm wearing girlie items is pretty cool. The hard edge works to toughen up an outfit into a look that isn't too saccharine sweet. It's all about the balance of the tough with the girlie and not going too far in either direction when mixing in the actual men's clothing.

These could use a bit of a custom alteration for a cleaner fit. I would do that myself. I think they're just a bit too wide and not the greatest silhouette from below the knee to the ankle.

5.) This is what's in my shopping cart from the epic sale at Urban Outfitters! You should definitely check it out since it's a really good sale with cute items! Go check out Urban's sales!

6.) I am loving these for our home from Swirl by Daily Candy. They're symbols of Longevity by the brand, Market, Street and you can get a set of 2 for $15.00! Check the whole line up out over there! Cute and amazing smelling soy candles that are great for the environment! I already ordered mine.
