Wu Me!

Spotted some lovely images from Jason Wu's show backstage.
Jak&Jil - you really do capture it well.

Acid Feelings

I love to shop but I am prone to buyer's remorse. 

Not because I regret the item but often because I wish things didn't cost actual money. Wouldn't that be nice? 

I picked up a few things on sale yesterday and then had to deal with my guilt even before the drive home was over. My husband was pretty nice about the whole thing and he tried to remind me that it is okay to spend a little on yourself every once in a while. I really hadn't gotten anything new in a long time and committed myself to ACTUALLY sorting out my clothing. I will be donating stuff I do not wear anymore and threw out a couple of jeans that were in terrible condition. Things are tidy and it was rather cathartic to flush it all out.

On that note, please enjoy the images from Proenza Schouler, Spring-Summer 2011, and see if you can resist how much these photos make you want to shop ;)

Cool Invites to Cool Things

It must be pretty cool to get invited to the Fashion Week in New York. Cooler still to get some of these goodies in the mail/at the show. I am not that cool. I am still hanging out with the aforementioned lazy cats. But I am a sucker for great invites, great stationery and anything that takes mail outside of it's usual box. ALL PUN INTENDED!

                   

Super duper cool. Spotted at Refinery 29.

Some Vintage Whimsy

A fashion show? A bridal fashion show? A vintage bridal fashion show? Swoon!. Here's a wonderful collection of snapshots from the Martha Stewart Wedding fashion show... based on one of the most beautiful eras of dressing, the Fifties. Found on one of my favorite indulgences, 100 Layer Cake, I marveled at the inspiration and the presentation of the show and the gowns. As with everything Martha, there is no shortage of exquisite details and just enough romance and decadence. Lovely indeed.
