…for a lack of better term. I don’t really know what to call them, but I know they are EVERYWHERE on fashion blogs. I’m still making up my mind about them, but they could add a really fun touch to a simple outfit.
If you are not quite sure how these work…I found a few examples here of how they can be worn…
Just a touch of interesting to a plain tee or sweater. What do you think?

…I have this weird obsession with neon. Could it be because I was born in the 80’s? I just love a splash of it here and there (or a whole lot of it…doesn’t matter really). It just adds an unexpected touch of edginess to the whole ensemble.
My pick for neon? It’s actually an item I’ve blogged about before, and I’m still loving it. Illamasqua Neon Nail Varnish in Rare. Perfect for easing yourself into this neon thing…
…or start off with a simple pair of sandals with a hint of neon like these from Forever 21. At $7.50 a pair…it’s a fashion risk worth taking.
…and when you ready…I highly recommend this…
Fabulous~

…so according to Harper’s Bazaar What to Buy March 2012 issue – envelope clutches are all the rage this season. These oversized clutches are just large enough for day but still cool enough for evening. What’s not to love?
My current obsession…classic YvesSaintLaurent. Thanks to E, who listened to me whine incessantly about how badly I wanted one after my friend bought a cool gray one for herself. Wish granted on ❤ Day. Thank you, best husband in the world :-).

I’m dedicating this week to blog about all things I’m currently obsessing with right now…and hopefully, these items will also transition beautifully into the Spring. First off…anything fuschia.
Let’s be honest…when is pink ever not in fashion? As Elle Woods once wisely said, “whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.” Well said, Elle.
My pick for pink…these B for Brian Atwood suede pumps. Amazing, right? If you could remember a few posts back, I was obsessing about these before X’Mas. I guess Santa was listening and wish granted on X’Mas day :-). My poor neighbors were probably thinking someone got hurt judging by the sound of my scream when I opened the box. E, which from now on will be referred to as the best husband in the world, searched every store in the nation scouring for my exact size as apparently these were sold out everywhere during X’mas. Luckily, someone returned my exact size while he was at the store. I’m in love…

…it can be done (at least in LA, that is)…as fabulously demonstrated here by Rachel Bilson.
Love her…and her amazing boots. I wish I knew where they are from. Perfect heel height and even more perfect shade of gray (my most favorite color ever).
Love, love, love~

…in the middle of winter. With all the rain, snow, and cold wind…I’m already day-dreaming about warm, breezy, and sunny California summer.
And who knew ikat (or GAP for that matter) could be so cool? I’m not a big fan of the print (or GAP), but these shorts from GAP Summer 2012 collection are a perfect, way chic-er alternative to those denim cut-offs. Pair them with a crisp, white button down or a loose, blousy white tank, a pair of worn-in leather sandals, shades, and tanned skin – casual, chic perfection.
Can’t wait ’til summer~

…if you still haven’t caught on…this week’s posts have been about understated, minimalist beauty…and these gowns represent just that. I can imagine an elegant and sleek yet soft and romantic wedding with a modern, stylish, and unfussy bride. If one of these gowns were available when I got married, I would surely have a hard time picking just one of them.

…so perfect for a chic and casual bridal shower in the Spring, no?
Minimalist perfection. Love~

…it’s January…which means all the Spring ad campaigns are starting to pop up. When most people think of Spring – pastel palette immediately comes to mind (Spring = Easter = Pastel)…but I’m so excited to see that pastel is not longer equal to preppy. Judging from these ad campaigns, pastel can now be so punky and edgy…with a tiny touch of bohemian, and that I [totally] love…

…I absolutely need this bag…
…and just like every other “IT” bag, this Celine Luggage Tote is absolutely a pain in the ass to find *sighs*. The search continues…
