Heavy Stepping

It's such a small detail, but the idea of a chunky pump feels amazingly fresh right now. You can blame Philip Lim, who sent these and these chunky pumps down his spring runway, or maybe even Mad Men (with the demure chunky kitten heels), either way I'm craving a seriously substantial heel right now.

1. Stuart Weitzman 'Capsize' mary jane pumps

2. ASOS 'Lagoon' flats with metal heel

3. Nine West 'Gillyan' pump

4. Kate Spade 'Shelly' Patent Pump

5. Vena Cava X Tenoversix Heels

6. Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' low heel pump

I couldn't help but post this editorial when I ran across it. It's everything I want in spring rolled into one shoot--light layers in white and cream, pink highlights and draped silhouettes with fitted jackets.

I always get a little excited for the Zara lookbook, so chic, so forward, and the best yet, so attainable. I'm perticularly fond of April's as Liu Wen is one of my favorite models and I'm loving the all-white ensembles. And can we talk about that cream leather jacket? Well played Zara.

What would be my dream week with Chloe Pre-Fall 2012 hanging in my closet. Talk about being the most chic girl in the office, restaurant, party, store, street, life.

Gleaming

After spending a year in college working at a fine jewelry counter you could probably assume I have developed a slight major obsession with all things gold and shiny. And although my tastes have changed--I once hated mixing silver and gold and now I love it--I still have a soft spot for spikes, initials, and all things dainty. Here is a roundup of all the e-commerce jewelry boutiques I obsessively check. Shop on.

Catbird NYC. The prices are totally fair at this Williamsburg-based jewelry store, which features the cutest sterling, 14k yellow and rose gold pieces. Simple thin bands with letters, shapes (hearts, stars, ampersands)are the standout, and a bevy of quirky and vintage pieces are also available. Bonus: they have a pretty legit blog here.

Odette NY. Amazingly interesting geometric and hammered pieces made mostly in Sterling Silver. There are some brass pieces available (not my favorite metal to wear), but word on the street internet is that all the designs will be available in yellow gold very soon. Excellent.

Zoe Chicco. This one is a long-time favorite of mine. Everything is really simple, with clean lines and pretty stones, but the most amazing part is the selection (it's huge!).

Happy New Year!

Dreaming of something a fraction as amazing to wear for NYE.

P.S. Can we talk about that hair? Yowza.

With my neck and arms covered by winter layers I find myself jonesing for new rings (I admit I've never broken out a pair of gloves in L.A.'s version of winter). On the top of my radar are baby rings (or knuckle rings)--tiny bands to sit on the second knuckle. I need to make this and this happen.
