Stories about style, motherhood, and figuring it all out
Patent has been in for some time now and I’ve refrained from splurging on the patent bags I’ve crossed paths with but this one from MCM is really making things hard on me. I fell in love with the subtle hardware detailing and the bold structure and roomy boxiness. I’m feeling very weak right now.…

Read MoreOne more look book to add to my Fashion Look Book Index! This look book from Armani Exchange is well done from a usability standpoint, e.g. easy to navigate and they have a nice summary summary (3rd image down) which makes it easy to shop for the items in each look. I must say I…

A lot of the other aviators I see these days are either overly oversized or have some bizarre colored rims. If I already look…
