The Deepest Sensuality
The profoundest of all sensualities is the sense of truth and the next deepest sensual experience is the sense of justice. - D.H. Lawrence

Micky London Showroom
In the beginning of October, I was invited to check out the Micky London showroom. If you’re an accessories fiend like me, the experience was pure eye candy. I’m a maven for chunky jewels and accessories, so Micky London suits those glitzy sensibilities of mine. My particular favorites of the evening were the rhinestone lotus inspired earrings thick, and the geometric heart bangle. ...

Wishlist Wednesday: Femme Fatale
Dressing like a good girl is just no fun at all. This week, I’m combining two of my absolute favorite things: hard rock sensibilities (hello, studs) and my film noir femme fatale dreams. Seamed stockings, rhinestones, heels, and a figure hugging dress will make you truly ready to go on a caper with that mysterious detective. 1. Asos Lace Skater Dress, $78.57 2. Alexander McQueen Skull...

Wishlist Wednesday: October Swimmer
Oh, autumn, you’re a total babe. Maybe it’s the spooky season or just the changing leaves, but I dig it. That post title up there? During college, “October Swimmer” was a favorite sleeper hit of mine by the band JJ72. In the spirit of my favorite fall tunes—doesn’t everyone have seasonal music?— check out some bookmark worthy items. 1. LuLu’s...

They Lived Next Door to Mermaids, Stephanie...
poetry365:
the house was new untouched by ghosts or the dead who like to sing the weeds were growing, we took a spade hooking through, like a needle into the hearth of dirt until he found red again as we laughed despite all the water.
Oh, wow. This might sound a little sappy, but I’m really honored to find one of my poems online in a blog. Thanks for reading, you guys. Also,...

Hermes x Vans: AKA How Did I Miss These Dope...
Okay darlings, I slipped. How did I miss this teeny, unoffish collaboration? These custom slip-ons were influenced by the Hermes le Carrés design and made for the stylist Robert Verdi. Clearly, these Vans are meant for true purveyors of style - the kings of cred. Keep in mind, this is not a capsule collection or official collaboration. Now, if only these were available for purchase…...

Wishlist Wednesday: Transitional Pieces
Mother Nature is a cruel mistress with warm weather one day and chilly the next. Boots and a blazer on a Tuesday, peep toe flats and high hems on Thursday. Instead of bemoaning the change in temperatures, I decided to hunt down some pieces that can be layered or stripped down. When the weather is chilly, it’s amazing what a pair of opaque black tights, hardware jewelry, or a tissue thin...

Party For A Cause: LC Mag Party Benefitting City...
In September, I had the pleasure of attending a Lifestyle & Charity Magazine party at Laura Gabrielson in Soho. Connecting with other bloggers, writers, and readers over charity is something which is deeply important to me. There are so many things bigger and more substantial that just writing about shoes or a pretty dress. Life is about change and making a difference. I’m happy to say...

Nolcha Fashion Week || Danilo Gabrielli, Guljan...
Danilo Gabrielli || Edgy Tuscan Style I thought that Danilo Gabrielli’s collection was a a bit disjointed: the ready-to-wear pieces fell flat on me. The perforated leather was out of place and the short didn’t fit the over all aesthetic of the line. However, Gabrielli’s real talent lies within the long and lanky cocktail gowns that are perfect for any Dolce Vita woman. The...

Wishlist Wednesday: Fall Must-Haves
While I finally accepted the chilly weather and can rejoice in hot cups of coffee and leather jackets, there’s much more to be said for one of my favorite seasons. Even though I held on a little too long to summer this year, the crisp weather always keeps me afloat at the end of the day. Some of my favorite fall staples include a little black dress, a sharp blazer, and some bangin’...

Incoco Nail Strips Review
Let it be known that I’ve got it bad for nail polish, from my constant plotting for the perfect minimal chip brand or to my involvement with lacquer’d. When I got my Incoco nail strips in my September Birchbox, of course I had to try them. Immediately. I might not have chosen the glittery teal and green tiger stripes, but I’m glad I got to be a little sassy. Application was...
