a beautiful night

The Bruce Silverstein Gallery in NYC is currently showing and exhibition through June 4th titled "Night". With photos from leading influential photographers of the 20s and 30s like Ilse Bing, Brassal, Andre Kertesz and my personal favorite, Robert Doisneau, the exhibit centers around photographic images made at night, a relatively unheard of technical capability at the time.

From Hungary to Paris to New York, these provocative pictures evoke a stillness that sticks with you long after you've viewed them. For those in NYC, check it out!

Regrets

While I don't believe in regrets... I do seem to have a few fashion related ones these days, especially as I pack for my Portugal trip (HIP! HIP!). On a separate note, I now realize I have not updated this blog in close to a month - yet another regret... but I digress.

Below are a few of my latest woes as my daydreams of summer and daydreams of my sun-drenched European vacation with my fellow newlywed get closer to reality.

Acne Amon blouse - oh I love it. 

Jeffrey Campbell Nation - would have gotten tons of use out of these babies! 

Topshop Bikini - tres chic! 

Jeffrey Campbell wedges - only through urban outfitters

BRVTVS

I used to have a thing with gold... mainly that I didn't like it. It didn't stem from anything in particular, other than I foolishly thought it was too mature for my style. Now I love it. Ghetto, heirloom, delicate or bold - I don't discriminate. BRVTVS (pronounced "Brutus") is a line I am currently coveting. Designed by Caroline Ventura, named after history's most famous back-stabber and inspired by her love for menswear tailoring, BRVTVS is comprised of pieces that are equal parts delicate and restrained. Backed by a humorous tagline encouraging us to forget BRVTVS's dark past and "be friends", I personally couldn't agree more. I'll start with the Portia bracelet.

ONE by...

 'One By' is the latest concept from shopbop, one of my favorite sites (free shipping!). Created to bring you a thoughtful and edited assortment of items from fabulous up-and-coming designers, 'One By' is a great way to pick up a few key pieces for spring, without having to sift through an entire collection.

With great prices and ideal silhouettes for the shift in seasons, 'One By' will be one of my stops as I prepare for Portugal in May!Yippee!

Okay... Check out my favorites below.

Leifsdottir

New prints from leifsdottir. I love the printed silk and versatile forms. Perfect for lazy, nothing-to-do, but still want to look lovely, days this summer.

Friends with Benefits

Pretty much obsessed with Friends with Benefits. Discovered by way of Refinery29s 'Brooklyn's Best New Designers' post, I became instantly enamored after viewing just a few pieces from the Look Book.

I love the emphasis on draping, cut-outs and asymmetrical hems. From short to long and from day to evening, there is seriously a dress for every occasion here. I would love to own each piece, but if I had to choose, I would pick the Helena dress. I could live in that dress. Must. Find. Now.

floating in my head

my slow monday is made exponentially less productive through dreamy thoughts floating around in my head.... hazy days, cloudy beaches, paris, a cozy bed, bathtime, a hot cup of tea....
