Spats have arrived!

My new spats have arrived and though I ordered the leather because they did not have the suede in my size, they accidentally sent me suede! YAY!

Will post pics soon...

What do Lindsay Lohan and I have in common?

Besides a love of leggings? We both love Ronsons. Me? I'm not into Samantha. I do however love her sister Charlotte Ronson. That above is Lindsay and Samantha at her sister's Spring 09 show.

Charlotte's designs are awesome and affordable! She has two lines, Charlotte Ronson and Play by C Ronson, which is sort of what Marc by Marc Jacobs is to Marc Jacobs.

Here are my favorites from her lines carried at Urban Oufitters.


I love this Tulip skirt! I love the volume on the sides and the color of the silk. I hope you can see the subtle pattern on this beautiful bronze color.


I would have loved to found this dress before the wedding I went to on New Year's Eve. It is gorgeous. I love navy especially paired with black accessories. I like to read reviews of things I find for fitting guides and quality (reviews of clothes can be posted on sites like American Apparel, Zappos, Urban). I was checking them out for this dress and I found a posting of a perfect styling for this dress (which PS: is now marked down to $89.99 with a full size run... get it while you can.

Anyway, here is the styling.


I love, love, love mixing navy and black!! The statement necklace tops it off. Don't get me started on the statement necklace. That's another post all together.

Check out Ronson's lines at Urban Outfitters and Shop Bop -my other favorite pieces? The faux-fur vest on Shop Bop and the Check coat on Urban.

My Flat Spat!

I just got my shipping confirmation for my new Dolce Vita flat spats! I can't wait to have them in my hands!

I fell in love with spats when Jordy Bee of one of my favorite blogs, Clutch 22 (check it out you will love her!) introduced them . I have been wishing and wishing for a cute flat spat since I saw them. I even considered doing an ambitious DIY project like Jordy Bee (she had quite the journey with spats -from falling in love to a DIY knock off Martin Margiela).

Then I found these beauties from Dolce Vita


I bought them at their first markdown. Of course, two days later, they got a another markdown, 30% off of what I paid :( . So far I am too excited to call and tantrum.

If you still don't understand what I mean by spat, check out Clutch 22 -here, she'll give you the run down (the post was a few months ago so if the link doesn't work just search spat in her search box).

If you give a girl a watch...

While I have always stuck with silver jewelry, I recently fell in love with a watch with gold accents and well if you give a mouse a cookie, he'll probably ask for milk -etc, etc. I now need a gold jewelry wardrobe. I built one, but I am not happy with it. The weights are all a little different and well, it just doesn't work for me. Here is what I am talking about. This is my silver jewelry wardrobe -simple, classic, a little boring(?) all the same weight.




Yes it is simple, some might say boring. I never really change my necklace and I have to have a watch. I will occasionally wear a fun cocktail ring but generally I think a lot of trend jewelry is a bad idea. It ends up looking cheap. I like heavier things because they also don't seem cheap.

Here are the new watch and the necklace.


Thought's on rings and earring? Like I said I usually like chunky -but not in gold. Obviously I am looking for something light weight. I'm not a nouveau riche rapper.

Anyone?
