A Change of Season

Although we don't see the typical four seasons here in southern California, I think we all look forward to fall fashions regardless. Just another reason to dress up. As it slowly starts to cool down I've been pining like crazy in Pinterest all my fall inspirations. Here are a few things I am currently craving.

On The Hunt: Bohemian Chic

WOW! Didn't think I would see bohemian chic again for a long time. But as they say in fashion, "Everything old is new again." I remember taking a class when I studied abroad in Paris (cue my sister making fun of me, she thinks I bring up living in Paris too much), but my class was about trend forecasting. At the time, Boho Chic was in full swing thanks to Sienna Miller. My professor made it very clear that trends swing in wide pendulums of opposites. I remember thinking, "I'll never repeat that trend again." Well spring is here and I'm desperate for maxi skirts, feathers in my hair, and a long floral dress to get me through summer weddings and parties. Here are some that I'm currently on the hunt for.

On The Hunt April 2011

With renewed purpose and a lot more time I have returned to blogging. In addition I have decided to add a "feature" I guess you would call it, On The Hunt. My goal is to do it at least monthly and eventually a weekly feature. It will include anything and everything that I'm on the hunt for. Here it goes...

I have been lusting over organization and office supplies lately. In a small space it is a necessity to be extremely organized. When I received my April issue of Dwell, I flipped for the organizational wall unit on the front. After perusing the magazine and some internet research I discovered Uten.Silo by Vitra. It could be mine for a bargain basement price of $350. Dang. I was already dreaming of everything that I could organize in those cute little cubbies. So I'm on the hunt for some sort of alternative, whatever that might be.

 Next item I think I'm hunting for is a vintage dress form. The reason I'm not sure is it all depends if I can find a suitable alternative to the above organizer. But I think the dress form would add a nice vintagey touch to the studio. I would store all my Relics jewelry on it...and dream of owning more Relics. All I need for this hunting item is $495! Check out this bit of perfection from Etsy.

I may be a bit late on the oxford trend, but I am still on the hunt for a grey pair at a reasonable price. I might be persuaded to purchase brown, but not black. I think they would look so darling with some of my girly dresses and skirts. This pair by Frye is nearly perfect except for the price tag, although not outrageous for a pair of shoes, definitely out of my price range for now.

Now that I no longer work at Rebel (details on my new position and employer to come!) it is a lot more difficult to increase my modest collection of Vince. I will now need to hunt for a more budget friendly versions of the following. (From Shopbop.com)

Final hunting item is a clear plastic bag. What!?!? Yes its true. I need one for work. We are only allowed to bring in clear bags for security reasons. Not safety security but theft security, which is pretty SOP at most stores. Anyways...most of the bags look like little old lady bags. The type where the little old lady thought, "How cute and funny if everyone could see the weird stuff I carry around in my purse!" In an effort to avoid those kinds I discovered this beauty via this blog. Now I am praying for a ebay knockoff because there is no way for me to justify a $135 plastic bag to my husband.

Orange You Glad?

Love, love, love Jeffrey Campbell Delta flats, $79!

I have been on the hunt for about 2 years for orange ballet flats. I have found some, but they never seem to have the right toe or shade of orange. This year there finally seems to be tons of options! Now I just need to decide how much I am willing to spend. I love how they look with denim or army green skinny cargoes. Although there is always a danger of wandering into Halloween territory if they are ever paired with black. Stick with khaki/olive/denim bottoms and brightly colored tops. Here are a few of my top favs.

Tory Burch Reva Flat, $195, I love that the emblem is the same color as the shoe!


Not only is this a fab color but I the studs are darling on this Anne Klein Sport Sabriel flat, $54.99


These look so soft and comfy! Corso Como Festive flat, $60
