fancy fingers

recently I've been especially into fancy fingers of multiple modish rings. a diversion from your typical arm party (a la man repeller) makes for a fresh way to wear your jewels. mixing metals, serious stacking and overly oversized : nothing is off limits! fixed with your own favorites, each hand becomes as unique as its fingerprint. whether you're feeling edgy, earthy, silly or sweet, there's always a stylish stack of rings to flaunt on your fingers!

leading ladies

alongside the dwindling heat, new notebooks and layered looks of early fall comes one of my favorite things : september issues! there's something vastly more special about the thicker binding, fresh fashions and seriously stylish spreads that take over these books. while scoping out this years leading ladies, I found a few overseas that looked extra luxe like vogue australia's joel edgerton and kiera knightly on harper's bazaar uk. I'm not sure if anyone can quite outshine kate on vanity fair : poised, posh and personable : she makes one fashionable figure!

schoolgirl style

with august well underway, it's time to squeeze in our last bits of summer fun as the season ends early for those of us still in education. I'm not-so-secretly dreading the return of dreary classes (I prefer fashion to finance) but am eager to embrace a few fads of campus life. when it comes to peter pan collars, pleated skirts, satchel bags, quirky accessories and classic white shirts: schoolgirl style is back! I credit a bit of spring/summer's fifties revival and a bit of "adorkable" zooey deschanel/emma stone for bringing the look back to business. personally, I'm obsessed with the idea of being beyond girly, current yet classic and acutely accessorized this fall. fashion is fun and I will always embrace a look that doesn't take itself too seriously, as none of us ever should...
