prints { are prettiest }

i realize we're all pretty excited for the coming fall, but until it arrives, why don't you enjoy the ease of the gypsy, combined with the eternal-summer sophistication of the jet-set? just don some printed chiffon and unleash your inner gypset!

in my dreams, this is exactly what my life looks like (i'm working pretty hard to make it a reality):

{ loco en mexico } part 1

just back & still spinning from a gorgeous girls-only getaway in mexcio, where my mom, sister and i indulged in sunlight, snorkeling, sangria, and spanish smocks!



i'm still sorting through our stockpile of snapshots, but here's a quick round-one to sun-up your day!

(meanwhile, i consider a private patio jacuzzi in a michael kors maillot, pearl river kimono, and self-designed necklace)


beachy stylings aside, we couldn't compete with the natural views - and were certainly too lazy to try - but i swear i'll share a few more looks nevertheless.

it's good to be back!

{ perfect timing } my mexican vacation

at this moment, i'm packing all my turbans, caftans, and big silky scarves for a few days' jaunt to the coast of mexico. what better timing for moodboard, one of my favorite blogs, to post photos of
camilla belle in a deriva?


while i've never seen the movie, i'm seriously studying these film stills while trying to load the perfect getaway bag:

i'll be back soon, with loads of my own pictures to share!

{ costumes for days } vacation recap

i've come back (for a bit) to the hustle & grind of new york city. before i completely re-acclimate, here's a look at a few of last week's finer fashion moments (ie: whenever i wore more than a maillot)...

act one: romping in the woodlands, dressed for dinner on the deck:


custom-made hat, purple peony ring, dolce + gabbana shirt, 12by12 palazzos

act two: loitering outside an art gallery, enjoying a more plebeian pursuit ~ the august issue of american vogue:


self-designed bib (available for pre-order via shrimpton couture!), ralph lauren sailor shirt, custom-made harem pants, dolce + gabbana shoes

act three: brewing baubles and bubbles!!!



h+m dress, self-designed necklace (also available via shrimpton couture!)

{ costume of the day } hamptons classic



i'll admit: constantly shuffling between the pool and the beach has made me a little lazy. i think i may need to return to the city for a few days just to get back up to speed! in the meantime, i'll continue wearing this filmy kimono over absolutely everything (it's already been 4 days straight)! the darn thing reeks of sunscreen.


marc jacobs hat, drugstore sunnies, pearl river kimono, f21 blouse, levi's cutoffs, bebe espadrilles, kara ross earrings, verameat three-finger ring & bluebonnet bauble ring from the glamporium! (nail polish of the day: orly's 'green with envy')

{ summer moodboard } poolside style

(nathaniel goldberg: numero, july 2005)

i've decided to make living easy this summer. to wit, i've decamped my glamour base ~ moving all operations out to the hamptons ~ where i can type by the pool, and be inspired by the sun and surf.

expect some tropical, colorful gems to be forthcoming, and many kimono and caftan-centric costumes, looking something like these:

summer daze

it's a holiday weekend in the states, meaning that half the city of new york - myself included - have migrated out to the hamptons to celebrate in the sun!



i've been lazing about the beach, but i haven't slacked on style!
