H&M Fall 2011 Luxe

I am in no way ready for fall or winter coats or boots, as my spring shoe collection has barely seen the light of day. But I came across the H&M Fall 2011 Lookbook over the weekend and was just so impressed with textures and styling of their upcoming pieces. I love the pin straight hair and dark lips, the dark jewel tones and luxe looking materials they'll be using. And true to H&M form all items will retail for under $199. Hey, always need something to look forward to, right?

Friday Favorites

my new Jeffrey Campbell Groovies

purple blouses from H&M and Club Monaco. kind of feel like Prince meets Geisha.

YSL arty ring, quite possibly my favorite new purchase in a looong time.

the perfect cutoff shorts from Zara- will possibly live in these this summer.

super cute copper glitter nail polish from Sephora for OPI. I have the gold and silver already and love how they look solo or layered on top of other colors.

A New Home for Nasty!

Ya'll like my new Nasty Gal banners? I'm stoked to have them on my blog since I'm a major fan. These are a few of my favorite new pieces they have right now for summer. Go peep them out now!

The Great Sock Debate Part II- Solved!

So I was originally planning to wear this outfit with tights. But finally the weather in NYC blossomed into something beautiful and I just couldn't bear to stuff my legs into another pair of tights after months and months spent in them. So last night I decided to take a trip to JCPenney on my way home to find just the right sock! I tried this look with both a light tan and a heathered navy sock. I think the tan works better. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the outcome and my heels are much more comfortable with the soft sock on. Part of me even feels like a little girl without the ruffles on her socks. What do you think?

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

I had the pleasure of visiting The Metropolitan Museum this weekend and checking out the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit. It was easily the most stunning thing I've ever seen in a museum (and I have been to my fair share of museums, galleries and exhibits).

I went there specifically to see this show but was not at all prepared for how blown away I would walk out. From the first piece I saw, my breath was quite literally taken away. At several points in the show my jaw dropped to the floor and I had no words for what I was feeling.

The exhibit was expertly curated from the music to the lighting to the room structure. Throughout the show were McQueen quotes displayed on the walls and alongside the pieces that just enhanced each look and in one room were TV screens showing various runway shows.

The exhibit runs through July 31st. It is an absolute must see for anyone that is able to make it to The Met.
