Rooney Mara, Oscar's

Rooney Mara at the Oscar's on Sunday evening was an exquisite sight. I admire the minimalist style - no jewelry, ivory skin w/ little makeup - so that the focus is on her edgy hair and gown, marked by modern lines with white waves of Givenchy elegance. This is probably the opposite of my style, seeing as I swoon for bold accessories, a sun-kissed glow and a less tamed hairstyle - but I respect this. All of it, and her.

Afternoon at Gusto

Whilst downtown yesterday afternoon, doing a little business here and there, I stopped in to check out Gusto's latest arrivals. I had an always pleasurable conversation with the two bubbly owners/managers, and I learned that mannequins are not only super expensive, but they come in a wide variety of... well, nevermind. For another conversation. Anyway, majority of above picks are Drew or Blaque Label, and a mixture of Spring anticipation, as well as a few wintry tops. What I did go in for the kill on, was the last photo - French Curve tights. I'm already planning when I will wear them, and they will most certainly add the pop of texture that I appreciate. Happy hump day. xx

Sylvia Benson

Forgot to post about this a couple of weeks ago when I picked up these babies from Monkee's at Reynolda Village. Not positive that they still have the beautiful spread that they had when I was there recently, but take my advice and go check it out. With my purchase of the black and gold earrings on the left ($68), I was given the gold studs as a gift. Also, I must mention, the sales ladies are absolutely adorable and super helpful.

Tibi & The Presidents

A nod at President's Day via Tibi for you. I am a huge fan of geometric patterns this Spring and adore the precious blouse at the top. I believe it comes in another color as well (green) but the light pink adds a feminine touch to the shapes. I want #2 and $4 (in order of, above) for work, both sleek and elegant at the same time. The shift dress is a chic cream, with the studs on the sleeves that add the flair I always look for in an outfit.

Hope everyone else enjoyed the lovely snow flakes yesterday and this morning ! Go Obama.

DVF Spring Color

I love everything about this - the mint, the neutrals (grey & nude), the animal print clutch and the perfectly sized white belt.
