My Wallet is Going to Hate Me

Barneyswarehouse.com is going live Monday. Yep, you heard that right. It looks like the online warehouse sale Barneys debuted last fall is going to be permanent. No more battles over that pair of killer Alaia's or John Patrick leather shorts. Apparently the site will have items up to 75% off. To be honest though, the fall preview wasn't all that great. The merchandise wasn't any different than the regular sale and the discounts weren't that deep. Still I'm pumped but my wallet is going to be hurting soon...

Match made in heaven

Hermès 
Comme Des Garçons 
 Fresh.  
Yep, that's all that needs to be said. When I heard about Hermès plan to team up with Rei Kawakubo of Comme de Garcons for limited edition silk scarves I expected nothing less than this. The collaboration consists of 6 designs that proudly display the tradition of Hermès and the avant-garde of Comme de Garcons. My neck is just screaming for a graffiti and Vichy checked classic Hermès scarf - too bad this limited collection will be harder to score than a Birkin.

Prepare to be amazed

That was probably the most relaxing and inspiring thing you'll see all weekend. If you want to drift off to an ethereal land of beauty I suggest you also watch CHANEL'S SS13 show. AMAZING. The craftsmanship is breathtaking and each floral creation is more painstakingly beautiful than the last.

Girl Crush: Miroslava Duma

Where do I begin explaining my admiration for this pint-sized member of the Russian fashion mafia (haha, no really). The former Harper's Bazaar Russia editor and founder of style website Buro 24/7 is at the center of the photogs flashing bulbs during Fashion Month - everyone wants to catch a glimpse of her. Her playful yet put-together aesthetic has made her the girl to watch. Girl is def not afraid of color and she can work Louboutins just as well as Timberlands. Oh and let's talk about her hair - just precious! I've had plenty of bobs but never that cute. Best thing about Mira, she's like 25 and birthed a child (Georgie!) and looks like this! I wanna be Mira when I grow up.

Current Obsession: Studs

Ok, so they've been EVERYWHERE for awhile now but my fascination with studs was recently rebooted while trying on Valentino's 'Rockstud' Ballet flat. The classic beauty of the shoe, mixed with its craftsmanship, and touch of spunk has made it this seasons hottest shoe. My Nordstrom's sold out of them in just 3 days! My love for studs rests in their ability to take, for example, a classic cocktail dress and make it a whole lot edgier, but still appropriate. I've been living in my Ralph Lauren studded earrings and I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon... 
The beauty herself.

Here we go again!

Up, up and away into cyber space we go! So last semester my blogging never really took hold... but there is too much going on in this world (and my mind!) for me not to share! Spring semester officially starts next week and I'm determined to go out with a bang before I graduate. I know it is going to be crazy and hectic but that is why I've got this little space - to rant and rave, share my inspirations, and create ideas.
