My husband picked these lovely wild flowers for me on our anniversary. They are dried up now but the sweet gesture lives on.

Cleaning Out My Closet Update

Finally got around to posting items on to my ebay. Included in the listing is this Chloe cardigan. It is new in the sense that I never wore it but it does have a handful of scratches on the third button down. It is a size M.

Isabel Marant @ Metier

Ok so there are many versions of that blouse, but Isabel Marant's is my favorite so far...i need to go to Metier and try it on soon! I love the pairing of the red belt with that blouse...i must invest in a skinny red belt ASAP. I must say IM's Farem leather bag is perfection and i can only imagine how soft the leather is. All available at Meteir SF.

Today is our 5th year anniversary and all I really want to do is to sit down on the couch and watch one of these classics with the Mister. These are some of my all time favorite movies about the highs and lows of marriage.

Buon Anniversario M! ♡

Still Thinking About Fall

I was excited to feel the seasons change earlier last week, but by the end of the week it was hot hot hot! It was only 100 degrees around the bay area today...insane! Instead of picking a cozy Fall outfit I ended up wearing a tank top and a skirt. Even with the crazy hot weather I am still thinking of Fall attire. I like the shape of the jacket from Steven Alan, but it may be a few weeks before I can even think about wearing jackets.

ACNE Spring 2011: Anime Styling

                               

When I went through the ACNE 2011 Spring Lookbook I fell in love with the denim suit, but in the back of my mind I kept thinking how similar the model was styled like Jigen Daisuke from Hayao Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro. Now I am thinking how this post makes me look like an Anime freak...I am not, but I do like this movie a lot, and the suit.

Fall Fragrance

When I woke up this morning it was suddenly Fall it got me thinking about Fall fragrances. I am really excited about the new Fall/Winter fragrance from Diptyque Eau Duelle. Notes of the perfume include:  two types of vanilla, bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper, elemi, juniper, saffron, calamus, frankincense, cypriol, black tea, amber, and musk. Sounds good to me. What is your Fall fragrance? Any favorites?
