Furry Frenzy

So…I’m thinking I might need to acquire one of these.

All these adorable faux-fur toppers are under $50 from ASOS. Any favorites? I think I’m partial to the first one, although the fourth one is slightly amazing in a hilarious way.

Pretty, Pretty Purple

To me, this is glorious. Purple is such a lovely color with so many hues and varieties. It’s just as beautiful in the fall/winter as it is in the spring/summer. The surrounding Jacarandas obviously bring the color to life (and make me desperate for spring) but the color itself is also moving. Purple can be worn by people of all complexions and hair colors. I especially want to mix a lavender blouse with a plum pant. I’m even partial to a dark violet smoky eye.

Emma Enchanted

I’m a fan of Emma Watson’s. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and has grown up to be lovely young woman. Plus I love the pixie cut. If I were contractually obligated not to cut my hair, I’d probably chop it too.

Layers and Layers

This beautiful editorial makes me want to incorporate long, flowing dresses with warm jackets and bouncy curls.

Love This Look

The lovely Elisa Sednauoi by Vanessa Jackman. I’m really into the hair too!

The High Life

Holiday-wear. If you lived down under. Or if you do not care about the elements, which sounds more like me. Wearing a gorgeous dress with galoshes is totally my steez.

I just read a Refinery29 article on Marie Claire style and accessories director Taylor Tomasi Hill and her chic apartment. She has such an interesting, unconventional style and gorgeous hair.

When asked by Refinery29:

What are your five key wardrobe pieces, things you wear constantly?
1. “Burberry trench coats, a great classic staple for fall or spring.”
2. “Madewell destroyed boyfriend jeans, I dress them up with my YSL heels for the office, or down with sneakers for traveling.”
3. “Punkrose leopard print sneakers, my go-to for days when my feet can’t take anything over .5 inches.”
4. “Chanel bag, I just got a large 2.55 after years of lusting after it. This one is the perfect carryall. My other tiny Chanel bags were always exploding with all the stuff I would try to pack in them.”
5. “My Rick Owens leather jacket, I can mix it with anything for an edgier effect. They are so expensive, but I stay on their radar and email list to make sure I’m always there for the sales.”
