E A S Y...not sleezy.

I love uncomplicated styles that are easy to look at and easy to recreate.

The looks are polished, yet casual.  Chic, yet comfortable.

Want some effortless glamour?

Just take notes from this bunch.

And do stare.

Animal Behavior

Last year, I fell head over heels for the Steven Sprouse for Louis Vuitton stole.

However, its price tag was prohibitive so I quickly forgot about it.

My dears, I have excellent news for any of you who shared in this love!

I just spotted a fantastic spring tote by LV collaborator, Marc Jacobs.

It's totes reminiscent of the scarf that stole my heart, but a fraction of the price.

The canvas bag is just what I need for the warmer months at work, the beach, grabbing ice cream or just sitting under a tree waiting to feel my boy kick...

Unacceptable...

I've noticed a trend of defacing outrageously expensive handbags for sport.

I know we're all trying to forget the Gaga/Birkin/sharpie incident...

I am ALL for art.  I am ALL for fashion.

However in a crazy PETA way, I feel this is turning unacceptable.

I'm starting a "Save a Chanel Flap Bag" chapter where

I live and I urge you to do the same.

If you can't afford one, it doesn't give someone else the right to ruin one.

Maybe the two are irrespective of one another.

Maybe I just really want my own Chanel flap.

Regardless...

Agreed?

Lauren Moffat: send me your entire line, pronto.

I am positively smitten by Lauren Moffat's spring collection.

Seriously, if a rep for the line sees this, please contact me asap.

I'm salivating for every piece, similar to how I react when I pass by

the burned macaroni and cheese at Whole Foods.  Um, yea.

flirty+fun+cheeky = irresistible

Don't you want to just be this girl?

I did say cheeky.

Could you be loved?

I spotted this ring and felt my heart fill.

So delicate, so simple, so lovely.

I can't decide what's sweeter: script etched

on brushed gold or two dainty diamonds?

I think I'll take both.

Either way you wear it, this ring is bound to

make you feel the love...and BE lovvvvved.

Happy Weekend: New Sex & the City Trailer!

I am j'adoring this new Sex & the City trailer. I have to admit, I might be one of the only gals out there who didn't love the first movie, but this one looks fantastic! It's a great way to start a wonderful weekend...

which is what I wish for all of you!
Let's just throw this out there, too:

Which SATC character are you, and why?

I can never decide...I feel like part Carrie, part Charlotte, sometimes a little Miranda. I might have also felt a little Samantha about ten years ago, but who remembers that far back?

: )

She's Having a Baby!

Oh yes, yes, she is!

My dear blog readers:

I've been SO appreciative of all you've shared with me over the past year,

I needed you to know one teeny, tiny thing.

Baby Beauty File

I'm not promising belly shots, but I won't rule them out either!

Until then...
