Current Fall/Winter Obsession #3 .... Pleat and Ruffle Details

I love the strong detail that went into the design of these beautiful pieces. These are a great way to create some major visual appeal from otherwise basic forms.

Current Fall Obsession #2... Sequins

When it comes to sequins, be sure to have fun with your look! I like when you incorporate one piece that is entirely covered in sequins - a tank, a dress, shoes, a purse, or bold accessories. HOT HOT HOT!

Current Fall Obsession #1... Lace

This fall, I plan on incorporating lace into every look I have. I love the beauty and delicate nature of the material and its ability to be "toughened" up with the addition of simple accessories and leather.

It's fabulous for fall because it's easy to layer when the weather gets cooler. Here are some great pieces I am picking up for the current season:



Alexander Wang Cut Out Skirt



LNA Lace Tee

Classic Lines

If you are looking to invest in some high quality timeless pieces for fall, look no further than Rag and Bone. Their Fall line is fabulous. Full of classic pieces with an edge. Tailored, but draped. Sophisticated, but fun. Their coats and blazers are my favorites.


Napoleon Tweed Coat


Cheviot Jacket


Kato Jacket


Raw Edge Pony Jacket

Interesting and Thoughtful

Elsewares is one of my favorite online boutiques for unique design for home and self. I have long loved these interesting wall-mounts from Harry Allen. These items provide such a larger visual impact than a basic vase for your flowers or a floral candy dish for your keys... these are conversation pieces and add a little something... and serve a functional purpose.

Stat Key Design

Recently, DailyCandy wrote about a company called Stat Key Design that creates key blanks in adorable patterns like the Knight Key, the (aptly named) House Key, and the super cute Heart Key - perhaps in reference to the old saying "Home is where the heart is"? These are so fun. Take a look.







With a sale going on right now, who can resist!?

Another Reason to Love Target

Women's Wear Daily announced today that Rodarte will be collaborating with Target on their Go International line. Set to unveil December 20th, the collection will feature $9.99 knee highs and $79.99 leopard print jackets. I cannot wait! I have long been a fan of Rodarte designs. To get some background here are some designs from Rodarte's Fall 2009 RTW line.

Paul Rand

I love the graphic design genius of Paul Rand. Best known for his corporate logos, Rand was largely self-taught. I love his work because it showcases Vibrance, boldness, and creativity.
