all purpose scarfs

if you're anything like me and you have an undying love for scarfs...one that lasts through EVERY season, then you'll especially appreciate Leigh & Luca. these extra-long scarfs allow for multiple ways to tie and wear; plus they come in cashmere, silk and cotton, with one of a kind designs you won't find anywhere else. so PLEASE retire that played "taliban"-looking black and white checker scarf...and find something with a less generic.

fall footwear to die for

oh how mary kate and ashley have grown up in our eyes. still, back when i was watching Full House afterschool, i never thought i'd be drooling over their Elizabeth and James line of shoes and boots that recently were released at Saks. mmmmmmmmm. is it fall yet?

we love GAGA

Perez is known for his overly opinionated comments about celebs, but he also has a small line of tees. now, you wouldn't catch me dead in one of his "team Perez" or "faboosh" tees, but i can totally admit im:





and why not? she's the most current fashion icon taking the world by storm. c'mon. admit it. you love her.

whimsical asthetics

Artemas Quibble. i know, sounds like something from Harry Potter, right? really, it's a line of jewelry based out of Philly, by A. Jason Ross. all items are one of a kind, vintage pieces made from antique furniture, books, trunks...you name it. think of it as your own little piece of history.

i like the sound of "free"

anyone who knows me, knows im obsessed with TopShop. (if you didn't, please go back a few months and find my excited tweet about it) and who doesn't want something for free99? now, with any purchase, TopShop is giving away cute canvas bags. buy 5 dollars worth, buy 500 dollars worth...your still getting a bag! yay!

do it for the kids

im a sucker for charities. my way of keeping my karma in balance. but when you combine my love for shopping with my money going towards a good cause (not just in some retailers pocket).....SOLD! so what is this charity?





their website says:
"Falling Whistles gives a small window into our world’s largest war. Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, readers forwarded it with the same kind of urgency in which it was written and demanded to know – what can we do?

The Falling Whistles campaign launched with a simple response - make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo. Read the story and buy the whistle. Proceeds will help restore the lives of war-affected kids. Share their story and speak up for them.

Together, we'll become the voice of a growing coalition for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo."

how do you get involved? EASY! buy a whistle necklace or a tshirt. pricing isn't bad either. now get over to www.fallingwhistles.com and make me proud! :)







ps: make sure you read the story. its very moving...crazy the things that kids go through.

rock on with your chucks on

converse continues to find ways to update (and now it seems, back-date) their ever so basic, yet classic shoe. most currently they've incorporated famous rockbands on the sides and tongue of the shoe. interesting, although, i think i've grown out of the chucks and dickies stage of my life

oh bebe!

lemme just make this clear...i've NEVER really been a big fan of Bebe, i've always felt like they're overpriced for their semi-trendy, but not exactly fashion forward apparel. HOWEVER, in a moment of my weakness for rips, bleach and studs...i wholeheartedly admit that their assortment of denim is making a big impression on me. i'm thinking about ordering a few of the following myself:
