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}

    I am so jealous (although of course not surprised) that you get to come here for FW! I was at FNO last night and saw some many amazing celebs and outfits. Great Five Things post today. Love the jeweled patch on the sweater.

    I am so camera illiterate, I had to look up what “SLR” meant. So, now I know what it stands for, but I don’t really get it. Working on it! Go you, smarty!
