I could spend hours looking for vintage clothes, handmade jewelry and quirky kids' t-shirts. I just found this cheerful summer dress today and I really like the entire collection. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#falling> Mon 13 Jul 2009 09:56:04 GMT Is it lame that I am already looking forward to fall? Not that I want the summer to end but we've had cool weather today - rainy with a high of 63 - and it reminds me of how much I love getting cozy. I guess it's how I feel most at home, wrapped in a slouchy sweater trying my hardest not to let the moist hair frizz out my hair or dampen my spirits. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#carryon> Fri 10 Jul 2009 09:56:04 GMT Animal prints have never really been my thing. I know it's supposed to be a classic, but I have one camel colored Blumarine sweater with a leopard collar, which is a little weird in itself since that particular label is not my thing as well... but I digress. So yeah, I'm not a fan of animal print really however, I'm digging this one a lot. http://www.fashionvice.com/shoes.html#moccasins> Tue 07 Jul 2009 09:56:04 GMT I recently dug out my beaded suede Minnetonka moccasins and realized how awesome these shoes still are. http://www.fashionvice.com/searching.html#tee> Fri 26 Jun 2009 09:56:04 GMT Why does it seem like when it's time to get dressed in the morning I never have anything to wear? I'm constantly searching for t-shirts I don't actually own. I shopped a few weeks ago for new summer clothes, but I neglected to get enough t-shirts. Oh, well. I'll have to rectify the situation soon. It's interesting how something so simple and necessary isn't always the easiest thing to find. I'm obsessed with thin, but not too thin, t-shirts that are soft, a bit loose and have the perfect drape. Yep, I'm pretty specific so no wonder I have trouble finding what I need. Just because I have trouble finding the perfect tee doesn't mean you have to. Fashion Vice is part of a fantastic giveaway. Chickdowntown.com has offered up this Elizabeth & James t-shirt for one lucky Fashion Vice reader. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#onceagain> Thu 25 Jun 2009 09:56:04 GMT The humble but now ubiquitous cardigan is the subject of the latest "On the Street" with Bill Cunningham on the New York Times website. I love his street style reports, from his smart commentary to his perfectly articulated accent that brings to mind movies starring Katharine Hepburn. I definitely cannot survive without few good cardigans. My devotion to cardigans started when I was a freshman in high school when I'd borrow my dad's wine colored cardigan to wear to school. The cardigan itself was a bit Mr. Rogers, but I'd make it my own by wearing it with black tights or leggings under black wool shorts or a plaid Catholic school skirt I shredded. Yes, I was definitely a child of 80's. http://www.fashionvice.com/shoes.html#found> Tue 23 Jun 2009 09:56:04 GMT My detective work paid off! I found these shoes online and when they arrived, they were exactly what I wanted. http://www.fashionvice.com/huh.html#intohershoes> Tue 02 Jun 2009 09:56:04 GMT I got the latest anthropologie catalogue today. Some of the looks are quite inspiring but here's a look that really caught my eye. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#deeppurple> Mon 01 Jun 2009 09:56:04 GMT I don't visit the Piperlime website often. I don't know why, but maybe it's because many of the brands didn't interest me all that much. But then I realized it has a great selection of on-trend shoes at sensible prices. It's perfect for trying the season's latest looks without spending too much. I should also check out the site more often because I didn't realize they carry a nice selection of Marc by Marc Jacobs bags. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#springinto> Wed 20 May 2009 09:56:04 GMT If you're into a good sale - and who isn't - now is the time to get moving. Some of the best sales are happening right now, from Barneys Private Sale to Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale. I scored a cute DVF top I've been eyeing all spring over at net-a-porter and I was bummed to have to pass up some other items because I need to shop wisely. So it helps to buy things with staying power. Like this easy, breezy skirt. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#shoulder> Tue 12 May 2009 09:56:04 GMT I have this tan leather shoulder bag that I've been wearing everywhere lately because it works cross body and that's become very important while I'm out with my squirmy toddler. http://www.fashionvice.com/huh.html#denim> Tue 05 May 2009 09:56:04 GMT It pains me to admit this - since I have a million things I should be doing with my free time - but I'm addicted to ebay. Not really for buying, but lately it is my go-to place to look for designer vintage clothing or pictures of handbags that I'm interested in. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#fantasy> Mon 04 May 2009 09:56:04 GMT The color, the print, the design. L-O-V-E! There's a shirt dress version on eLuxury that's on sale but even that one is cost prohibitive at over $800. I guess I'll just admire online and look around for something inspired by it. Feel free to pass along any suggestions my way! http://www.fashionvice.com/shoes.html#goingfor> Wed 28 Apr 2009 09:56:04 GMT Last week when the weather was close to 80 degrees I heard the call of summer and bought a pair of white Earnest Sewn jeans - the Harlan style to be exact. And wouldn't you know it? The temperature dropped 20 degrees the next day. Son of a bitch. Oh well. Good weather will be back and I will wear my new jeans dammit. These would go nicely with them. http://www.fashionvice.com/favorite.html#blue> Tue, 27 Apr 2009 09:56:04 GMT If there's one thing that get's the fashion addict in me a little weak in the knees, it's a fabulous handbag. One of my all time favorites is the Balenciaga City but here's another bag that has my full attention. http://www.fashionvice.com/collections.html#backtobasics> Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:56:04 GMT It was downright hot today. at least it was for me after it took forever to herd my toddler back to our car after a running errands and rewarding him with frozen yogurt. The healthy fro yo didn't go over as well as ice cream...
