KISS KISS | LIZZIE X DECADE CLUTCH

ph: my own

Absolutely SMITTEN with my new Lizzie Fortunato embroidered lip print clutch! What makes this clutch so special to me, besides the cute print + luxe leather (navy front + light pink back), is that it was made in collaboration with one of my favorite illustrators- Bernadette Pascua.

Bernadette runs one of my favorite blogs, Decade Diary. Not only does she create gorgeous fashion-inspired art, but she is an amazing stylist as well. Don't even get me started on her apartment + her personal style (here + here).

The rest of the Lizzie x Decade collection is amazing- I'm coveting every piece, including this palm tree clutch + this floral beauty. You can find the lip print clutch here ♥

I ♥ Who What Wear

WWW Love Tee + Lipstick | Elizabeth and James Sunglasses | Koral Coated Jeans | Tabitha Simmons Heels (similar here)

Super pumped about the relaunch of Who What Wear! The redesign is super sleek + has lots of new features. How cute is their LOVE tee + lipstick to celebrate?! I thought they'd go perfect with cat-eye sunglasses, skinny black jeans + statement heels.

Who What Wear was one of my biggest inspirations for starting Le Fashion, so it's been amazing to see them grow. I am so proud to be a part of the team as contributing blog editor + now to have them name Le Fashion as one of their favorite blogs- thank you!

ps- They are giving away a Cartier Love bracelet (swoon!)- check it all out here.

MY FAVORITE RINGS

ph: my own

My favorite rings. Yellow gold, delicate + dainty.
Below are the details on each (second photo- from left to right, then center)...

+ Victorian Halo Pavé Diamond Ring: Found this beauty on Ebay from Peter Suchy Jewelers.
The moment I saw it, I fell in love with the floating design. They also have this art deco stunner... it kinda reminds me of Angelina Jolie's engagement ring.

+ Gold 'Oui' Ring: After a failed hunt for the original Dior ring last year, I came across this version on Etsy from Street Bauble. Check my original post on it here.

+ My Engagement Ring: A vintage solitaire diamond set in platinum with a yellow gold band.
It was inspired by my great-grandmother's diamond ring. Since I was little, I adored hers- it was classic + simple, so I knew I wanted the same. Love how well it goes with my other rings.

+ Jacquie Aiche Diamond Waif Bezel Ring: Cutest lil thing. I got this ring in a smaller size so I could wear it as a pinky ring or as a knuckle ring.

+ Bittersweets NY Teensy Diamond Ring: Handmade, thin, delicate + perfect for stacking.

+ Mara Carrizo Scalise Rain Ring: Love the this texture this ring gives to my stack.

DAD

Last night, my father passed away after battling cancer for almost four years.
He's had three close calls, but this time it happened + I am heartbroken.

With the exception of a post I had already prepared for tomorrow, I am going to be taking a short break from blogging to be with my family. I mentioned to someone earlier that blogging has always served as a great distraction, so I will definitely be back at it soon.

In honor of my dad, I urge you to take a moment to consider donating your stem-cells to help cure or even just help prolong the lives of others suffering from cancer + other diseases. While my father's stem cell transplant from a donor did not cure his cancer, it gave him another precious year to be with us + we couldn't be more thankful.

Find out more about donating here.

I miss you dad. I'll love you forever. You will always be our Jamdula bonehead.

2. The party was held at The Box in NYC- loved the interior, especially the wallpaper.

3. The winning Diet Coke t-shirt design, which is available at Target.

BLACK + NAVY

.......ASOS peplum top | Elizabeth and James sunglasses | ASOS bracelet | Karla Deras x Roman Luxe cuff 
.............Michael Kors watch | Proenza Schouler bag | AG Jeans leggings | Jenni Kayne flats


Just got a great pair of Riley leggings from AG Jeans! They're a subtle navy color with black trim, so they're perfect for my black + navy combo obsession. Plus the body conscious seam lines are super slimming, which I love. They look great with a chic peplum top + clean accessories, but I'm also looking forward to wearing them casually, with a stripe t-shirt + camo print jacket.

Make sure to check out the rest of AG Jeans's Fall 2012 collection.

GLITTER BOOTS

Another great find from Ketch shop online! Remember the metallic tweed jacket I got there?
Plan on rocking these with this sweater, these boyfriend jeans (live in them!) + this bag.

NAVY SHIMMER

ph: my own

Finally got my hands on this 3.1 Phillip Lim sequin vest! It's perfect for the navy kick I've been on lately and an easy piece to dress up or down, which I love. Again, I have to thank the eBay gods- in particular Ann's Dallas-based eBay store Willow-Wear! Ann has an excellent eye, so the store is always filled with AMAZE pieces like this neon pink Christopher Kane dress! Swoon!

Not only does Willow-Wear have a great selection, but a great story behind it read here. Ann has become one of the most trusted consignment sellers on eBay and can help sell your unwanted designer goodies, giving you the funds to put towards what you're coveting now. Get more details and check out what else is in store here.

ps- I styled the vest with a T by Alexander Wang Shirt, Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Denim, Alexander Wang Joan Pumps, Prism Paris Sunglasses + a Proenza Schouler PS1 zip case.

CURRENT FAVORITES

ph: my own

1. Studded Zara Blazer >> Fell in love with this blazer the moment I laid eyes on it- It reminded me of the oh-so-amazing Balenciaga bouclé jackets from 2007 (see here). It's a classic piece, but with a neon + studded twist. Loved the fit so much I got the solid black one as well.

2. Balenciaga Cut-Out Boots >> One of my biggest regrets was not getting these babes when they first came out. I had them in my Barney's shopping cart, but hesitated + sure enough they sold out. Since then, I've searched everywhere + checked eBay daily hoping I'd find them. They finally popped up on EZDUZIT- It's a great eBay store that's a revolving door of designer goodies at great prices. Right now they have The Row, Givenchy + more, so def check it out!
