Scarlet & the cool-girl kicks

It’s a rare occurrence when I go into a store and want everything on the racks. Like it never happens as a rule. Scarlet in West Little Rock is an exception to that rule. At nine years old, Scarlet is better the ever. The shop recently opened a new storefront designed by the brilliant Heather Owens of Georgia James (you can find heather & a mini GJ shop within Scarlet); a relaunched website featuring a web store with brands like Elizabeth & James, Rebecca Minkoff and J Brand alongside the Scarlet brand capsule collection.
Brimming with leather skinnies, cutout dresses, flat bill caps and fur jackets, Scarlet has the quintessential fall wardrobe for the coolest girl you know.

The clothes, bags and baubles are drool worthy but the shoes – oh the shoes – I’m continually obsessed with the selection that owner Jeanne curates. You may know that I rarely buy new pieces, strictly adhering to a diet of vintage & thrift, but this diet doesn’t really apply to footwear. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say that shoes are almost always best when bought new.

Until now, you could only peruse & purchase this amazingness in store. I feel like it’s my duty to inform you that you will be able to buy them online as of Thursday, 10/31.

And you’re welcome.

What I Heard: New Music from Washed Out & Lana Del Rey

9280

I am so into Washed Out‘s “chillwave” sound and I love this video for Amor Fati.

There is a ton of buzz online about Lana Del Rey and  how she’s too pin-up looking to actually be new to this.

Ehh whatever, I’m really into her sound.

60s Inspired Bangs

After an inner conversation with myself, I decided a hair chop is not something I am ready to do. Ro concurs. So I’ve become enthralled with the idea of cutting 60s-inspired bangs like Julia Stegner’s post wedding. Like?

Red Lips

Lara Stone: Vanity Fair July 2011

This is my favorite look for summer. Nothing plays up a tan like red lips. My go-to red lip for summer is CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Flame.

White done right

Remember Leelee Sobieski? Yeah, I barely did either. However, this suit is not something I’m going to forget anytime soon. I LOVE this look. It’s clean, fresh, stylish, flattering. Ahhh. Do you agree?

The super-stylish Blair Eadie lives in San Francisco and blogs at Atlantic-Pacific. She’s almost always wearing sunglasses and has mastered layering and accessorizing. I love to see what she puts together! She was also featured on the (brand new) glitter guide website today.

Spring Beauty

It’s a color revival! I’m obsessing over these brights, I especially want to try the orange shadow and super pink lips.
