Style Crush: Christine Centenera & Ivory Booties
Christine Centenera is the Fashion Editor for Harper’s Bazaar Australia. A crush-worthy occupation in and of itself, I was nonplussed yet un-surprised when I realized she is young, thin, hot & stylish.
Immediately, I hate her/like her immensely. Isn’t it just like us girls to begrudge and admire someone at the same time? What makes us that way? I digress.. Either way, girlfriend looks amazing and I have similar ivory booties (Gianni Bini minus the studs) which she reminded me to wear.
They are the ivory patent leather version of the below, mentioned here.

A lovely mix of things

Hope you had a lovely weekend.
SATC Inspiration: You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday
I’m getting giddy about seeing SATC 2 tomorrow, even though I’ve read some less-than-flattering reviews and I must admit that I’m not QUITE as excited as I was for the first movie. But I love it for the fashion as much as I love it for the girls. And I know the movie won’t disappoint in that arena.
This may seem redundant because I know every girl feels this way. But I’m inspired by many Carrie Bradshaw looks. One of the things I love most about the character is how she dressed for any occasion. She also often dressed with a theme, but always in a chic vs. a campy way. While she almost always looked fabulous, we also saw her dress down which makes her all the more real. More faves…
I loved everything about this outfit and I mentioned how much I love her flower brooch here.
Love, Love, Loved this outfit. This is the day Carrie meets Berger and she’s wearing a chic frock, fitted jacket and sky-high wedges.
I totes try to re-create this look. I have a crisp white blazer (thrifted) that I pair with a ratty old mickey mouse tee (gift from an old beau).
Love it when Carrie channels Jackie-O while she is dating the politician (she says, “found some vintage Halston”). It’s fun to dress for a part. You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday.
She’s adventurous…swinging for her column, and she’s dressed to work-out. There’s no place for heels on a trapeze.
I love this. Sometimes, no matter how great you look, the wind can literally or metaphorically blow your skirt up.
Why not wear a white sun-dress/parasol combo for strolling outside in the sun?

Jewelry Porn: My dream come true
I must admit, I’ve been infatuated before. I’ve had a crush. I’ve daydreamed and night-dreamed and thought about it before. But..I think I’m head over heels about this one. I’m talking about jewelry people!
These are estate diamond stacking bands from the Paris Hotel Boutique! {this is glamorous} is giving this one away… I die.
Look at how gorgeous they are!
After further research, they are actually affordable. Official, full-on, jewelry lust. Feast your eyes here.
I don’t think this one is meant to be stacked but it honestly looks like a steal at $345. Also, it’s a princess ring which I totes identify with.
Paris Hotel Boutique – where have you been all my life?
Diane Kruger & Dog dresses
Found out today via Garance Dore that Diane Kruger is her own stylist/make-up artist/hair-stylist… this only furthers my slight obsession with her and her style choices. She is just STUN.
PS: I have secretly been perusing dog dresses/swimsuits. Ridiculous, I know. But some of them are super fun. If you’re interested…here is the cutest little tutu. Not sure if Birdie needs one but she sure would look cute!
Somehow she got out of the fence today. R & I were freaking but some nice neighbor got her and her Aunt Lauren and Aunt Lindsay rescued the bad little puppy. Here she is with her sister, Georgie.
Jewelry Porn: Rings by IOSSELLIANI
Love stackable rings. These by iosselliani are beautiful and exotic, plus they’re expensive but not un-affordable. I noticed them first on {this is glamorous}. Check. It. Out.
And my fave
They also have gorgeous necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
For a much more affordable versions:
$25 and under from Urban Outfitters. I might be purchasing the first turquoise one…
Model Crush: Jessica Stam
Love everything about this look. The eyes, the clothes, the shoes…the hair…so Veruschka! I <3 Jessica Stam.
