kate spade clothing

Cute stuff over at Kate Spade's new line of clothing. And not too crazy expensive, either. Their new website looks great, too.

Well, I'll just have to say that is one gorgeous dress.

keith lissner cocktail dress

Dear Matt and Mere,
Please get married soon so I can wear this pretty dress to your wedding!
Love,
Laura
P.S. From here, spotted on Daily Candy this am.

happy 50th, lilly!

Happy 50th Anniversary to Lilly Pulitzer! And congratulations on some of the best looking prints you've put out in a long, long time. As a recovering addict, this new collection may make me fall off the wagon.

easy as pie

Yesterday I bought a pair of jeans at the (sorta) new Madewell store at Lenox. It was absolutely the easiest jean buying experience I've ever had. Good fits, good colors, and plain pockets--because I am so over playing the designer jean guessing game. Guess I get that from my dad, a man who has been known to attempt to remove a certain embroidered polo pony from his shirts.
P.S. She designs their snappy little newsletter/calendar.

i love fall: tights

This year, my tights will be gray. I am especially inspired by the middle picture to pair them with my mustard corduroy skirt and my red patent shoes.

fashion week faves: prada

Well done, Miuccia. Especially love the printed, straight skirt with the simple top. I think I can definitely pull this one off.

good advice

After studying the fashion editors front row in Milan, I've decided three key components of a stylish wardrobe include a pink scarf, gray cardigan, and a striped shirt. Lucky for me, I already have all three in my closet.

fashion week faves: behnaz sarafpour

I know I'm a little late on this NY Fashion Week post...but Behnaz sure does make some pretty dresses for morning, noon, and night. From style.com.

fashion week faves: peter som

Separates for night? In bright orange and pink? Sure! From Peter Som Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear at style.com.

fashion week faves: lela rose

I do love a little skirt + top + jacket combo. From Lela Rose Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear, at style.com.

a new dress

I am so proud of my weekend purchase--it's cute, comfortable, and I'm pretty sure it won't require much ironing. Surprisingly, it's Patagonia, so I guess I can wear it to the mall and on hikes in the Andes.
P.S. I love the print--reminds me of Orla.

travel in style

I had some time on my hands last Saturday night (my cable was out), so I found myself flipping through all my old issues of Domino. I loved these two outfits. Yes, I read it for the interiors and the people (and what they're wearing).

good genes

Such a lovely outfit, worn by Charlotte Casiraghi. I'm guessing she got those cheekbones from her grandmother.

i do

"I, Laura, take thee, Michael Stars, to be my favorite t-shirt, to have and to hold forever, 'til death do us part."

all dressed up

Could there be anything better than a dressy white t-shirt? Only if it came in heather gray.

summertime suiting

Seersucker gets me everytime (Trey wore seersucker pants in our wedding). Especially when it's in the shape of a little throw-me-on-and-look-cute shift.

Get Comfortable

Let's just say I like to be comfortable. Ninety-five percent of the reason I love my job is because I get to wear scrubs to work. If my life was a bit fancier, this dress would be my idea of evening wear. From Vogue, by the label Osklen, described as"the line between fast urbanity and laid-back coasting", with "decidedly minimalist organza dresses and organic-cotton tees."

Green + Blue

Currently, I am loving apple green (or fresh clover, according to j.crew) and blue, especially navy blue. Bedroom by Annsley Mcaleer, clothes by j.crew, and notecard by Linda & Harriett.

Cute Outfit

Found this cute outfit while flipping through the Barney's Co-op catalog. Jacket and top by Trovata, scarf by Virginia Johnson.
