♥ Fashionably Moi! ♥

Wearing: Forever 21 Cozy Fox Sweater; Forever 21 Fab Stitch Skinny Jean in Indigo; Jessica Simpson Alster in Whiskey Lima Leather; Forever 21 Vintage Opaque Ring in Antique Gold / Taupe.

Reading: Violet on the Runway by Melissa Walker. Warning: Reading this book may leave you with a strong desire to strike a pose, and vogue!

Glamourizing: Nails: OPI Sanguine from the OPI Go Goth! 2010 Halloween Collection. Lips: mark Juice Gems in Juicy Honeydew. Eyes: mark Lash All You Want High-Volume Mascara in Black.

Listening: Wrong Time Wrong Planet by Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Adoring: Bucket bags a la M Missoni’s Studded Tiger Cross Body Bag, Alexander Wang’s Diego Bucket Bag, and M Missoni’s Studded Pouch Bag. Two parts bohemian carryall; one part Victorian reticule; as a whole, they are a decadent style dedicated to adding a pop of personality to your look du jour. Shearling-lined booties – specifically, Pour La Victoire’s Aileen Platform Booties, Marc by Marc Jacobs Wedge Platform Booties, and Schutz’s Shearling Cuff Platform Booties. Inside, your toes stay toasty courtesy of the shearling lining; outside, your style sparkles via the shearling cuff embellishment. Cozy et chic…what more could a fabulous fashionista possibly ask for, oui? Shimmering cocktail dresses that make one twinkle effervescently (quite a bit like a human bottle of champagne, vous ne pensez pas?). My personal favorites? Halston Heritage’s Gathered Cocktail Dress in Khaki, and RED Valentino’s Cocktail Dress with Bows in Camel. Le sigh.

Watching: Monster House. If you like weird, you will amour this movie – it is insane (in an amazing way, bien sûr)!

Desiring: Tory Burch Blaire Riding Boots in Bordeaux. Classic in aesthetic; playful and unexpected in color. ‘Tis a true piece of statement footwear that will stand the test of time; whilst working with just about anything in your wardrobe. J’adore! Acne Simone Blushed Jacket in Blushed. Welt pockets and extra-long sleeves create a throwback to Melanie Griffith’s 80s Working Girl-style; while the pale pastel hue and oversized fit make it the perfect topper for simple skinny jeans when channeling one’s inner model-off-duty. Aimer au dixième pouvoir! ADAM Open Knit Crew Neck Sweater in Milk. Slouchy, seductive, demure, coquettish…it is a multifaceted marvel that epitomizes the term tongue-in-cheek chic. Swoon! Etre toujours mon Coeur!

Quoting: Albert Schweitzer - “There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.”

Awaiting: Le Bird Cage Bangle, Lost Treasure Bracelet, and Paramour Bracelet via JewelMint. Kate Bosworth has quite le eye for ambrosial accessories; thus, I felt the need to scoop up a trio of tantalizing treasures for my jewelry collection! Gorgeous, mais oui?

But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?


Fashionably yours!

Your fashion sense is so amazing, and I have never even heard of the Violet series (where have I been?!). I'll admit that I haven't been reading that many books lately, but I'm probably going to be getting some new ones very soon.

**Quoting: Albert Schweitzer - “There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.” **

Schweitzer must have never had a charge card at Saks, or had a daily dosage of Cafe Fashionista blog ;)

Caitlin @ Candyfloss & Persie said...
