getaway girl: your pick.

this week, i can't focus on just one getaway. my mind is brimming with excitement for a few trips that hopefully will pan out in the next few months. so, i leave it to you guys this week.

where does this outfit make you want to be? it's a pretty simple one... maybe even one perfect for a weekend at home.

need a little inspiration? check out my new blog obsession, fake travel. she takes herself on virtual trips around the world, thanks to google maps. italy looks nice right about now.

have a nice weekend, y'all.

+ shoes (called caroline!) from rebecca minkoff
+ jeans from mih
+ shirt from saint james
+ turban from rock n rose
+ bag from marc by marc jacobs
+ necklace by etten eller

leah goren.

some print love for the week...

i'd love those little faces in a dress or skirt, wouldn't you? or maybe a scarf fashioned into a turban a la charlotte taylor?

see more of leah's illustrations here.

liberty of london.

i wouldn't mind having a few of these. and, i also love the art nouveau belt/buckle that transforms them into belts.

p.s. killing myself over not discovering this 2011 planner earlier. not that i really needed to drop 75 bucks on a planner...

qooqoo.

i'll be the first to admit these are a little out there. but maybe in just the right way?

norma kamali.

and, norma kamali does it again.

if you can believe it, that flowy number is a swim dress. who wouldn't want to lounge away their summer days in that?

chie mihara.

these finds need to make friendly with my feet and get on them stat.

good night gilda.

good night gilda is an l.a.-based line of "high-end lingerie for busty gals." ... a product line catering specifically to buxom women everywhere who have a personality and want to buy well-designed, high-end lingerie that has a personality too.

i like that. almost as much as that bullet bra-esque stitching up there.

any other full-bosomed ladies out there with great bra suggestions? my favorites are freya, felina and le mystere.

p.s. is this girl channeling kathleen in the hair department, or what?

getaway girl: hollywood, calif.

it's hollywood's big weekend, so it only seemed right to get back in getaway mode with some oscar-worthy digs. who will be watching on sunday? and who are you rooting for?

happy weekend, friends.

+ nars semi-matte lipstick in red lizard
+ by malene birger gown
+ pour la victoire shoes
+ kate spade streetcar lella clutch
+ emerald snake bracelet
+ emerald and diamond ring from mannu — because nothing says oscar bling quite like a $90,000 ring.

wondering which film gets my vote? the king's speech, of course.

charlotte taylor.

so i've been dying to share these crazy-amazing prints and gorgeous designs since i spotted them over at oh joy.

crazy-amazing, like i said, right?

they're from english lass charlotte taylor. her past two collections are just beautiful — same brilliant color choices but with fewer in-your-face (yet completely charming) patterns.

fancy ant turban/scarf? have to have it.

need supply.

a few things on my wish list right now...

+ dolce vita sandals
+ super sunglasses
+ skirt

zara.

dear zara... please?

maison scotch.

some stars and stripes for you on this looovely wednesday.

i need to find a sweater in need of star elbow patches. star elbow patches. smart, yeah. that's only half of the best part of that sweater up there — there are buttons down the back, too.

asos.

if i could fill my wardrobe with pieces from one place for the rest of my life, it'd be asos. easy.

mxm jewelry.

obsessed with everything in this shop, especially these pinwheel earrings. crazy cool. i know.

found via ms. susan peterson.

le train bleu.

way too many things to love at le train bleu, starting with that amazing maxi dress and that boucle capelet, which i've pretty much been staring at for the last 24 hours.

vpl.

vpl swimwear? be still my heart.
