" NEW IN " Rag & Bone + SJP and Hepburn

Rag & Bone Cropped Red Sweater
Fashion Box Coffee Table Book



Isn't this cropped sweater from Rag & Bone a cheery Holiday red? I can't wait to wear it. My new Fashion coffee table book is already decorating my bookshelf. A fun read (and how could it not be?) with Sarah Jessica Parker and Audrey Hepburn both, on the cover. My two muses: both different, both stylish. A balance of my two favorite kinds of Fashion: edgy/unexpected and classic/sophistication.

This is undoubtedly my favorite time of year. Baking desserts, Holiday shopping, inventing Christmas Cocoa concoctions and savoring this wonderful feeling. I've already downloaded about 3 albums worth of Christmas music from iTunes too! ;)


I can't believe it's already Thursday! And that next week is Thanksgiving! Can you?

Style Icon: Audrey Hepburn

From the opening credits of Breakfast at Tiffany's to the closing credits of Sabrina, Audrey Heburn became a very special Style Icon for centuries to come. Because of her poise and elegance and understated demeanor, the term "It's So Audrey!" was coined. She is a role model in every sense. She never believed in living a frivolous life filled with ostentatious wares. She chose cars for comfort instead of their exterior or name. She lived for her family not for the fame. She did indeed encompass a dazzling personality and with it, carried a lovely sense of style. She is forever preserved in my collection of films and coffee table books...

I can't say much *yet* but I may get to live out a "very Audrey moment" during New York Fashion Week!! Oh, I'm so excited and really cannot wait to share the news with you... Soon!

Holly Golightly

Who better to emulate this Halloween than the person I adore most in the world, my icon, Audrey Hepburn. Here I am portraying the role of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys. What are YOU this Halloween? What are YOUR plans? We're off to the Cinema as we always do each year, this time to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D. Then it's to a Costume Party at night under the stars. I made the caramels.



Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat and maybe it's been raining too long, you're just sad that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Paul Varjak: Sure.
Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!




Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.


Vintage velvet dress. Aftershock earrings. Costume cigarette holder and gloves. Payless pointy flats.



You're listening to: Moon River | Henry Mancini

Thank you to Moxsie for sending over this very MK Olsen feather necklace, by Miss KK.
I love it. Treasure it.





Tee: Audrey Hepburn. Necklace: Miss KK. Sequin Leggings: Express. Zipper Heels: Go Jane platforms.


Seth Cohen and Death Cab for Cutie are interchangeable. I'm so thankful for Josh Schwartz and his creation of The OC, Seth Cohen and Ryan Atwood as well as for introducing me to some of my favorite bands!

And some just layed around in bed

And I did, this morning. The sun wasn't showing her pretty face. So I read some more of my coffee table book that came in, by mail yesterday. A Year in Fashion. (photo, courtesy of Amarillo-blog.) There's nothing cozier than cuddling up on a dark morning, in bed, reading all about FashionFashionFashion!



Here I am in pajamas, but somehow still respectable, I think. haha. As you can see I'm donning my favorite hue; purple. I think Sweety wanted to bite the charm off of my bracelet. She loves to bite things, as she is still teething.

The video above is of Sweety playing with her tennis bone toy this morning. (This was for Nita Karoliina.) the song is by the decemberists xx

a Splash of Thanks!

Daisy Bella, I was as pleased as a peach after receiving your scrumptious goodies in the mail (and Audrey-to boot!) Thank you for the warm gifts and equally kind card, my dear. You know how to make me smile.


Daryl Hannah single handedly turned the t-shirt dress into an idea that truly worked. In Splash, also featuring Tom Hanks, Daryl manages to bring the mythical mermaid to life; a very stylish one at that! This 1984 classic still remains a favorite. Where is Bloomingdales?



I want to say a GINORMOUS (meaning: really, really big!) thanks to all of my readers. I certainly do enjoy receiving your commentaries and wonderful feedback, as well as viewing each and every one of your blogs. It's almost like being welcomed with open arms to a very large (and very fashion forward!) family. Thank you.

I realized that I tend to find really fun items in my own closet as well as in Vintage shops and thought to myself, "why not start my own store?" I will keep an eye out as I continue to collect more items to add to the store, from up-to-the-minute trends to back-to-basics simple classic statement pieces...
