A few short weeks ago I had the chance to spend a lovely afternoon in NYC with two of my favorite bloggers, Alicia of Cheetah is the New Black and Helena of Brooklyn Blonde. After a relaxing brunch (sipping bellinis no less!) we headed out for a bit of shopping in Soho, eventually getting lost into the depths of Topshop (you're not surprised, are you?). About a half an hour later, reconvening in front of the fitting room, we couldn't help but laugh: we ALL grabbed this same Burberry-esque trench coat. 

Now how's that for great minds thinking alike?

And today for your viewing pleasure, do go check out Helena and Alicia, to see how they've styled their jacket! I'll meet you over there!

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you might recognize this skirt as one of the golden treasures I scooped up yesterday while shopping on Haight street. Now if I had only shown up a mere minutes earlier to my favorite vintage haunt, Wasteland, I would have walked away with the most breathtakingly beautiful pair of YSL heels, ever. Can't win 'em all though, right?

details, details

Just some of my favorite recent detail shots -- with a slight bias toward shoes.

tibi s/s 2012

I have to admit. I was pleasantly surprised (in the best way possible) by Tibi's spring/summer collection. Stepping away from her penchant for prints, this go around was chock-full of solid color pieces with some of the most incredible draping around. Mustard, mint, cobalt blue, kelly green and coral? I'll take two scoops of each, please! And don't (I repeat, don't) get me STARTED on the shoes.

badgley mischka s/s 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loved the drama of Badgley Mischka's latest collection! The gowns were absolutely gorgeous with sheer chiffon and ruffled layers in some of the juiciest, most saturated tones around (including my favorite combination: teal and robin's egg blue as seen in the sixth photo). Definitely looking forward to seeing some of these on the red carpet once the award shows start up.  

currently loving: black, cream and mint

 

 

1.) New Tracy Reese dress with a delicious chevron print.

2.) Mint colored rhinestone necklace? Yes please! (Snag your own here from this adorable Esty shop Spike the Punch.)

3.) New (to me) Chloe two-tone ankle strap heels. Love the suede detailing on these beauts!
