Pre-Fall 2013: Marni

look 29: coveting the dress and the handbag

As complete looks, Marni’s styling can trend too maximal for me, but the components are reliable + wearable. Not to mention the gorgeous fabrics. See the complete show at Style.com.

look 17: one example of where the whole look works for me. (i think the boots + belt make the outfit.)

Spring 2013 Couture: Christian Dior

look 7

Raf Simons certainly knows how to make romantic fashion that appeals to the minimalist in me. His spring couture show for Christian Dior was a delight to look at (and dream). See the complete collection at Style.com.

Week Three: Big Changes in Store ….

I’ve been teasing a “big announcement” for what seems like forever. At last, I can share the news.

Hint #1/ Good coffee in my future:

vespertine press | specialty coffee map

Hint #2/ these will no longer be a special treat:

st. john’s custard doughnuts

Hint #3/ I can finally take a class!

Hint #4/ Good shopping (and the chance to meet Ben Pentreath, Bridie Hall + Neal Whittington)

london map tray | bridie hall at home

geometry jotters | present & correct

Hint #5/ Gorgeous flower shops at every turn:

real flower company | spring trio

I could go on (Shake Shack! Balthazar! even J.Crew!) but I think you get the idea …. we’re moving to London! My husband is moving to his firm’s London office this spring, and my buddy and I will follow in June once school is out. I’m excited, and overwhelmed, and looking forward to sharing so many new adventures with you. Housing, shopping, travel + more. Stay tuned …. and please, share any advice or tips you might have in the comments.
