Miu Kitty

I've been obsessed with the Miu Miu Spring show and entire collection for a long time now and sadly so is everyone else in the world, which makes getting some of their pieces near impossible. Thankfully, Zara always comes up clutch in these situations. The cat print dress captures the Miu Miu Spring spirit perfectly!

I'm clearly still battling between wedges and stilettos especially now that I got these JCs yesterday.. They are so mega high and I mega love.

I'm still hoping that I find a pair of Miu Miu printed Mary Janes somewhere down the line at the end of the season when everyone is over them and I will lovingly still scoop them up and give them a great home.

I also was inspired by a recent NY Times article that focused on mixing prints.. I love this look and played around with it a little in this shoot.. Mixing stripes in with another print always feels fresh and unique.

Urban Cowgirl

"Hasn't everybody at some point or another had the fantasy of being a cowboy? A cowgirl?"

- Derek Lam

I'm so drawn to anything that looks really old and historical. Whether it's ancient art, weathered architecture, or vintage jewelry, I instantly fall in love. This old fire house is so charming! I can just picture a mini-red fire engine pulling out of it playing little hero to a small town. This is about as western as it gets in a Yankee town, as some would call it.

This is a small effort at modernizing a western look. No cowboy hat here.... The daisy print dress and leather are enough for me.

I got these awesome JC shoes at the annual LF Fifth Avenue sale and it took me a while to convince myself to buy them. Why? Because I'm also not really a cowboy boot kinda girl. The heel seemed low and I don't wear a lot of brown. However, there is something really wearable about these.. They are like a bootie and a cowboy boot combined.. I love them! I think it might be the square toe... I hate pointy toe shoes! Blah, you hear that Prada Fall? Despite your sweet little bows, I will not be lusting after you.

Are you a round toe or pointy toe shoe lover?

I've been searching for a top like this for a long time. I finally found it at, where else, LF Fifth Avenue! It is really light and flowy....perfect for hot summer days. I like to toughen it up a bit with ripped and studded denim shorts.

This was at Coogee Beach in Sydney. So far Sydney ranks higher than Melbourne in my book, but I haven't really been here long enough to really say.

Sassi Sam took all of these photos! I'm so glad I was able to find someone to take great photos while I'm here.. plus we have so much fun swapping blog stories and woes.

It's almost 5am and I'm still awake which is a total bummer!

Animalistic

Scarf: Stefani Greenfield for HSN, Top: Walter Baker, Pants: New York & Company, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell, Glasses: Street vendor

Super casual today....or at least this is casual to me. I can't seem to get myself to really dress up after dressing up all fashion week. Plus, the snow still hasn't melted and the spot that I like to take pictures on the lake is still covered with about a foot of snow! This is crazy!

I know I wore these pants yesterday, but they are so comfortable and I love that they are cropped and hit right around my ankles. With the glasses and the cropped pants I really look a bit dorky, but I did go wander around Barnes & Noble for a bit today so I guess it's fitting.

Oh and this black top came in my gift bag from the Walter show! Walter is a fave of mine because it comes with a really great price point. I have a few pics from their show which I will put up later.
