Need: Updated Varsity Jackets

I have my Nike Destroyer jacket and wear it like crazy, but that doesn't change the fact that varsity jackets don't flatter my figure (I have a waist, they don't). The good news is that designers have been creating more tailored, refined versions for girls like me.

Proenza Schouler Cruise 2013 Handbags

I pretty much have a spidey sense for new Proenza Schouler bags online. These are from the Cruise 2013 collection that Net-a-Porter previewed on their site today. Not sure yet if the top new shape is the rumored PS13 or not, but I sure like what I'm seeing.

Into Now: Woven Wall Hangings

Woven wall hangings like these have been popping up more and more frequently across my favorite sources of web inspiration. Big pieces can end up being pretty expensive, so I'm looking into local weaving classes to try to DIY one of these. Right now I've been looking at Coursehorse, Lion Brand Yarn Studio and Loop of the Loom. If you know of any nearby, please share the links!

Derek Lam Fall 2012 Runway Inspired Nails

Derek Lam's florals are a major fall favorite and to get the runway-inspired look on my nails I went with different sized variations of the flower pattern. I used a black or white base and painted flowers on top using my paint pens. Since the zoomed out view doesn't offer a lot of detail on its own, I wanted to capture some of the finer aspects of the actual flowers.
