Everybody loves Hamilton ♥

These little beauties are the Michael Michael Kors Hamilton tote/satchel. I personally fell in love with this style after seeing my best friend's mom's bag in black. It so classy and chic, I can hardly take it! I love that it reminds me of the Hermes Birkin bag & a little bit of the Celine Boston/Luggage bags, but much more affordable!

It comes in three different sizes & even a smaller crossbody version! I've seen a variety of colors all over the web. You can find it on the Michael Kors website & store, Nordstrom, Macy's , Bloomingdales etc. There have even been rumors that older colors have been spotted in TJ Maxx stores. So if you have been wanting that Birkin or Celine bag, try this one out for size ♥

Pursuit of the Year ♥

So early last year, maybe February, I purchased my first Louis Vuitton bag. It was a Monogram Canvas Speedy 25 & I got an amazing deal on it thanks to my good old pal Ebay . Well I decided that this year I would purchase another bag and unlike my first pre-loved speedy, I'm going to venture into the Louis Vuitton store & get personal with the SA's .

I'm not too sure which one I want for sure yet, but I know I'm going for a Neverfull MM. Question is Damier Ebene or Damier Azur?

Both bags are beautiful to me. I have always loved the classy look of the Damier Ebene , but I feel the Azur is different and not seen as often. I kind of feel the Azur might be too summer-bagish . If you know me , you know I have a replica Damier Ebene GM (I know, I know) , but since I'm getting older and making better decisions I feel a legit one would be a great investment.

I'm very indecisive and impatient when it comes to bag purchases so I need the time to think about this one ♥

things that i love ♥ December 2010

Style by Lauren Conrad

+ I love that she finally made a guide for her fans. I love how her style is polished , simple but unique.

Vogue : Best Dressed Special Edition

+ Just bought this the other day & it was def worth it. I also love Vogue's photography ♥
Steve Madden Caryssa Glitter Pumps

+ wanted these since the summer! I didn't get the Steve Madden one's, but Baker's had a pair that we completely identical and easier to walk in

The L.A. Candy Series

+ finally finished L.A. Candy and it was definitely a good read, can't wait to read the rest

Alice & Olivia sequin dresses

+ Fell in love with this dress the first time I laid eyes on it. I love sequins and would def love this to be my 21st birthday dress!

+The Celine Boston Bag (even though I've seen it called the "luggage" tote).

The so called new "it bag" seen on the arms of Mary Kate Olsen and Leighton Meester.

+Kate Spade Nylon Esther

I've wanted this bag for almost forever now. It's elegant, girly , chic and has a bow!

Fall 2010 Trends thus far ♥

Earth tone nail polish

+ now that's summer is over we are moving away from the pretty pastels and toward more soft yet earth tone colors for our nails

The Boyfriend Cardigan

+ A slouchy boyfriend cardigan. Wear it opened or buttoned up, goes great with skirts and skinny's and awesome knee high boots. This one is Tory Burch's simone boyfriend cardigan.

Flats that stand out

+I personally favor the colors, red , silver and metallic gold for this trend

Wedge Heel boots

+I'm a fan of the trend, but only if you do not over do the wedge heel size. This particular pair by Steve Madden are just the perfect size

Lace

+whether it be a dress, long sleeve, short sleeve, or tank top , the girly yet sexy lace look is in. Just do us all a favor and don't be too trashy.

Skinny Cargo Pants

+This particular pair is by J Brand jeans and has been out for quite some time now (maybe a few months) and now stores like Express ,Hollister & Co , and some others are picking up on the trend.

Plaid

+ I never thought I'd be so obsessed with plaid button down shirts, but I am. They give a polished look and you can wear them like Kristin , or a bit more casually.

Fashion's Night Out 2010

Last night was the second year for the biggest night of fashion & shopping, 'Fashion's Night Out! Last year the event made its debut with a night full of shopping, celebrities, entertainment, models and more all over the world. Different retailers chip in to create awesome exclusives, and the proceeds go to some form of charity. Last year the proceeds went to the 9/11 memorial, this year they went to AIDS.

Anyways last night my friend & I took a trip from Philly all the way to NYC for the event, I must say it was way more than I expected! We ran into models Chanel Iman & Adriana Lima , saw a performance by Janelle and were offered free goodies in different stores. This year was a practice run for us, next year were going back ready to blow every dime we have ♥

I was drawn to the florals and feminine looks of these posts on lookbook.nu today. Florals have been a trend for the past year, even in winter and fall, and according to the June/July issue of Teen Vogue , the girly girl look is in, no more "badd girl"....makes me feel like a trendsetter ♥
