Five Things

September 9th, 2011

{A sign that makes me want to travel/discover random spots}

I just emptied my suitcase from Portland and have started to re-pack for NYFW. It’s always hard to know exactly what to bring when traveling, but it’s especially difficult when there’s such a drastic change in weather (hot and sunny one day, cool and rainy the next). I’m relying on lots of light layers, an eclectic mix of jewelry and a variety of shoes so that I’ll never be strapped for options. In the meantime, here are five things I’m loving this week.

{Incredible elbow/pocket detailing on a sweater from a recent shoot}



{Lust-worthy selection of vintage Chanel bags on La Brea}



{My new clutch-friendly camera that shoots like an SLR}

{The seriously impressive berry breakfast at the Waffle Window}

    Where’s the sweater from by the way? I think the combination of the simple grey colour with the embellished details are so cute. Easy to dress up or down!
