wordless wednesday: so. much. WANT.

dvf's pre-fall 2011 lookbook is KILLING IT.

tuesday shoeday: report bowie bootie

is it wrong that i just LOVE these? they're so futuristic and clean-looking. you just need the absolute starkest of minimalist outfits to go with -- dark washed skinny jeans and something with a dolman sleeve on top to give that airy, outer-space feel some depth. add a pair of plastic-framed, oversized sunglasses with a rosy tinted lens and it's like you just walked out of woody allen's sleeper and onto the runway.

report's bowie bootie, $129.99 at heels.com

(apologies for the white-on-white here; i tried to find the shoe with a dark background but was sadly unsuccessful.)

monday funday: because it's snowing and i'm antsy

to entertain myself (see also: distract myself from the fact that it's snowing, i've still got 2 1/2 days before my vacation, and i worked out and got all sweaty before finding out my town is having water pressure issues), and hopefully to also entertain you, i decided to try on and take photo booth pictures of the new top i got from asos.com. this sort of sheer cut-out, more-material-doesn't-mean-MORE-material trend for spring/summer 2011 does wonders for a girl's midsection.

the friendly fashionista's way of flipping the winter the bird.

monday mania: i have chills

...and not 'cause it's snowing.

keira knightley's haute couture chanel makes me shiver with want

fashionista friday: spring 2011 pantones

i'm very excited by this.

the pantone spring 2011 color set

that honeysuckle is the pantone equivalent of nars orgasm blush, regatta makes me long for the beach by my house in the summer, and i want to dip everything i own in that gorgeous, soft, pillowy lavender. and i'm not gonna lie, toss coral rose, peapod, and beeswax in a wok, serve it over silver peony, and you've got a whole lot of delicious. this color set for spring 2011 makes me oh-so-happy.

thirsty thursday: baby, it's cold outside

i know they seem totally impractical, but i'm newly obsessed with those adorable, tiny little half-scoop shorty gloves that show off a dainty wrist. they just seem so simultaneously demure and provocative that it drives me completely insane.

as i've mentioned before, ASOS is my new favorite obsession, and they have no shortage of adorable little ladylike gloves.

leather bow gloves, $18.96

i loooove how these scoop up a bit on the wrist; it's like having a sexy little slit in an otherwise office-appropriate pencil skirt. and the color is fantastic. i'm a big fan of the brightly colored glove to offset otherwise drab winterwear.

leather leopard cutaway lady glove, $31.03

these manage to be both classic and on trend, both edgy and ladylike, and you can't really go wrong with a great pair of leather gloves. so. much. LOVE.



leather cutaway corsage glove, $21.55

loooove how the back of this glove dips like a low-cut sweater; the perfect representation of sexy in the snow. i've decided that the cutaway glove is officially the best way beat the winter blues, particularly when it's been in the teens for the past several days, and the winter blues literally refers to the state of my extremeties every time i walk outside!

wordless wednesday: F YES.

i just found this post and felt the need to re-post. men, take heed; women, link every man you know.

unless you are being ironic, short sleeves on a collared shirt are NEVER OKAY.
