ladies + gents THIS is the magic heel. no literally, that's what it's called. it's also MY magic heel, because it's my version of the perfect summer heel. i always get a new neutral heel every spring/summer (i highly recommend you do the same) and i end up wearing them completely OUT. i'm still wearing the 3 year ago's version - but sadly they are on their last leg. an awesome heel and some bright lipstick can literally make any outfit chic. my outfit is proof today. Hah! if you're in the market for the perfect summer heel too, click here. if you AREN'T you definitely shouldn't click here. peace!

how beautiful are these!??! i love them and haven't stopped staring at them all day. i mean intermittently between working, of course. the brain needs frequent breaks from work to gaze at beauty. it's a must. anywho, they make me excited for spring. the bright colors are doing it for me. (these images are from French Revue De Mondes, can i get a subscription??!)
okay, this weekend is all about the fun and the awesome. dinner and drinks and get-togethers. coffee and grocery shopping, fresh flowers and possibly some vegan baking and chats in the kitchen. continued research for the makeover that my house is currently undergoing. (i forgot to tell you) it's looking so good! oh, and sleeping in! love ya'll have a fantastic weekend.images via here

i need a lucite clutch so bad. these are my (your) options: buy this completely sick one from Charlotte Olympia for 600£ (approx 905.40 US dollar billz) or attempt a DIY for less than twenty bucks! since i'm on a spending freeze until paris - i'll be choosing the later. i already ordered the hinged lucite box from the container store (for $6). PUMPED! now i've got to find an obnoxious knob to go on top. what do you think? too exposed? in my case it's just life imitating fashion. or is it fashion imitating life?HAPPY HUMP DAY
peace!

this month started off with a bang! or maybe february ended on an incredibly high note? either way, i am very excited about the upcoming weeks. yesterday, plane tickets were booked for a trip to Cape Town, South Africa - with a scrumptious little12 hour layover in one of my favorite cities, Paris! and one of those plane tickets has my name on it. as you can imagine, i'm very excited. i'm always jonesin for travel, but i am always always jonesin for Paris! and even if it's just for a few hours, or a few sites and all the french food and drink i can manage to consume in 12 hours - it's everything! perfect timing since this week is paris fashion week. (hearts)
speaking of, best show for me so far is Lanvin. (although i can't wait for Chloe, Louis Vuitton and Ellie Saab) the color palette, the accessories are to die for, the silhouettes, the furs, the layers. Lanvin is always feminine and romantic, this season did not disappoint. here is the rest of the collection.
have a dope weekend!

i have this huge stack of books next to my bed. picture leaning tower of pisa...
hi, my name is shelly and i'm a book hoarder. i think it's because i wish i was an avid reader that was always reading books in a corner somewhere. but i'm so not. i read fashion magazines slash look at the pictures. i will read more, someday. i WILL read more, someday. and also, Amazon makes it way too damn easy! anyway, back to the stacks on stacks on stacks o' books. at the very bottom of this stack is a huge (dusty) blue journal that this righteously talented, renowned ad guy gave to me once. he mentored me and some of my friends for a while when i was in art school. upon our first meeting, i was starstruck as he passed one of these blue journals to each of us. inside in blue marker were written the letters A.Y. he went on to explain, we were riveted. dorks.
A.Y.,"Amaze Yourself"." okay, possibly cheesy to some. but it was profound to me then and still is today. why the hell wouldn't you want to amaze yourself? screw what everyone else thinks for a day and amaze YOURSELF. or how about BE YOURSELF because that in and of itself is amazing. it's the glory.
love ya'll.

do yourself a favor and watch T H I S ! Fendi's fall/winter 2013-14 ready to wear collection. it's 96th collection to be exact. i looked at every single look and detail (while simultaneously dying) before i realized that it was a collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi. i should have known that this was Karl's handiwork. beyond amazing. i want a fur mohawk and every pair of shoe in the collection! oh yeah, and TGIF! have the most fantastic weekend!images via here
