Erdem

This week I'm ispired by Erdem's Pre-Fall 2012 collection.  It's lady-like, modern, floral and sophisticated. That's who I want to be!

Go West!

It's true. I've been super obsessed with all things western lately. So I was beyond psyched to spot Wildfox Couture's new saloon sportin', gun slingin', wagon wheelin', prairie skirt wearin' Wild West themed spring/summer 2012 look book. Love the muted palette, love the modern-meets-western style (and excellent use of ruffles) and I especially love that a hoop skirt even makes an appearance. The western vibe is a welcome change from the brand's done-to-death '70s themed fall collection plus, it's  so "Hell on Wheels."  (Watch it on AMC! Because I have to get a TV/movie mention in there. Ha.)

I think I just found my new 2012 look.

Cold Spring Apothecary

This winter is killing my skin. To help combat the crazy dry skin, I am loving this Petitgrain & Rosewood Facial Cleanser and Juniper Rose Night Renewal Creme Gel from Cold Spring Apothecary. All of their products are hand-made in the Hudson Valley and are all natural and made of organic or locally harvested ingredients when available. Talk about goodness for you and your skin.

Sneaks

Loving all the fancy sneakers popping up everywhere...

Ringing in the New Year!

I'm with Betsey and lately I'm loving rings. Especially these ones from Blanca Monros Gomez out of Brooklyn. Simple, lovely and perfect.

Pile It On

Been really into piling on or stacking up rings lately. Some ideas....

 Both found on the Free People blog

 Because I love a good dose of biker style
