Need: Proenza Schouler PS11 Mini Holographic

This could be it.

I also created a new Pinterest board for my favorite bags for fall.

Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots

I picked up this Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots nail polish at Duane Reade on a whim the other day. Bored, I painted it on top of the blue I had already been wearing for an inadvertent robin's egg effect. After my first swipe, I knew I had a winner. Maybelline has several other colors with jelly bases, but "Clearly Spotted" lets you use the polka dot glitter over any of your shades. Go get one of these polishes now--it's already my summer favorite!

Catskills Weekend

A few weekends ago, Mark and I drove up to Phoenicia in the Catskills to stay at The Graham & Co and soak up some nature. The hotel was so charming and unbelievably relaxing. I really cannot wait to go back. A cute weekend away is best accompanied by cute accessories, so I brought along my new preppy-perfect tote from Kate Spade.

J.Crew Fall 2013 Lookbook

Styling might not deserve 100% of the credit for how great J.Crew's fall 2013 lookbook, but it certainly helps. Also, snaps to them for trying to attempt pre-orders on the looks.

Been Busy

For several reasons, which I will not bore you with, my blog has taken a back seat. Instead of trying to force it, I've been trying to use my other platforms to test what I really want to talk about. You can follow me on Instagram, Pinterest (this is a favorite) and Tumblr. Tumblr has been the most fun experiment lately. I'm exploring images that inspire me as well as the more technical business side of retail. I'd love to know your thoughts and keep tight while I work my way through the theme garden.

**Fun fact: There are 5 billion Google search results for "sorry for not updating my blog"
