ribbon with a bow on it

Pretty new underwear, and there's nothing wrong with showing it once in a while. I love girlie details like lace and bows, with the comfort of cotton.  These frilly ones are from Honeydew - a company with a lot of options including some retro looks from the sixties, and animal prints (yes, animal print- expect me to post something about animal print, whenever the opportunity arises).  I personally think matching sets are a necessity for every lingerie chest - they make the wearer feel amazing - and shows that you take the time to look your best from head to toe.

I'm looking for a heartbeat

I go through jewelery phases a lot were I need to buy lots of a particular type, and currently I am on a necklace kick.  I found this very cute piece from Cath Kidston while in the UK. I actually really thought the back of the necklace was something I had been looking for, though I do love the blue background with the pink flower, the detail on backing makes this more versatile for every day wear. The gold heart will definitely get a lot of wear as on of those little delicate items great for date nights or even at the office. The blue side seems like a great addition for a casual weekend outfits for outings that include brunch and long walks while leaf peeping.

Don't be a fly in my Martini, baby

A weekday treat this week, martinis with one of my closest friends at Tao. Definitely a New York hot spot, with a great bar and giant buddahs - and of course delish cocktails. I couldn't resist taking a photo of the cocktails (and animal print umbrella in the background). This seemed like the perfect way to welcome the first truly fall feeling day in the city.

laughing in the purple rain

Purple is the color of royalty- and my new shoes from Marks & Spencer. I didn't get to see much of London, unfortunately, I was in the office for the most part. Though the long hours certainly did not stop me from doing a tiny bit of shopping while across the pond. I found these babies in the shoe department for the low cost of £15 (about $24 USD), and well it was decided that my life in the States needed these imports. I can't wait to pair them with a smart outfit for work, or my skinny black pants.
