the love list: edition II

...aaaaand we're back like we never left! let's just say we're getting our hands into all sorts of stuff and our precious blog is suffering as a consequence...but not for long! we're back in full force...until further notice, lol. and to commemorate our return, here's what we're ooh-ing and ahh-ing over at the moment!

***

*blazers: who doesnt love blazers? they're the perfect compliment to any and everything! dresses? check! pants? check! shorts? check! skirts? check! now that fall is officially upon us (grumble, grumble), we can happily enjoy our blazers...well, at least until the snow pops in for a visit, lol. we're particularly in love with J.Crew's blazers, they're well-made and very comfy and they come in such darling colors...so be adventurous this fall and spruce up your wardrobe, step outside your "black" and "grey" box and get something out of the box like a plaid blazer a la Rhianna or bright and beautiful one from J.Crew:

*the rachel zoe project a.k.a. "I DIEEEE!" :-)

we're may-jahly in love with this show! rachel (yup, first name basis, lol) gets a ton of crap from the press but chic is still BANANAS (yup, had to go there, lol)!!!! can't nobody hold her down :-) her sense of style is fascinating and she has such a keen eye for putting some fah-buh-lous pieces together! and her shopping habits? how do you spell r-e-c-e-s-s-i-o-n? lol. we would surely die (not really) for a chance to work with her! p.s. how cute is brad?!?!?!

*the blackberry bold:

we've already told you we're convinced the blackberry's the ultimate accessory! these days, we're drooling over the new BLACKBERRY BOLD. sigh. it's sleek, wi-fi enabled, super efficient and pretty much everything we've ever wanted in a phone. dear santa, GIVE US BOLD!!!! please?

*hill harper:

he's fine, educated (brown AND harvard y'all) a man after our very hearts! and oh, so we don't come off as hopelessly shallow, he's extra hot to us 'cause he's actually DOING pretty amazing things with his celeb status. never heard of him? GASPS. look him up :-)

* david yurman's rings...like, all of them:

we're SO done rocking forever 21 and H&M rings and are looking to invest in uber fabulous majorly blinging cocktail rings this fall. who better to look to than Mr. Yurman?? *insert mini daydream here* we could say many, many things about D. Yurman's work, but we'll let the pictures do the talking:

how do we love thee? let us count the ways...lol! what are you loving at the moment? please share :-)

the love list: edition I

hello folks! here's our first installment of our love list. no points for guessing what it'll feature, lol:

*maxi skirts: yes, we adore maxi dresses and think they're awesome and yadi yadi yadda, but maxi skirt needs love too. now, they don't have to be frumpy or have any frills or be boho to the point of bewildering...clean, simple shapes work just fine for us and they also transition pretty easily from day to night:



...and to be smack bang in the middle of fall '08 trends, how about layered, statement necklaces to complete the looks above and step them up a notch?

*ebay: we could go on and on about this one. from finding items that are sold out elsewhere, to items that simply don't exist anywhere else, to stumbling on the most gorgeous vintage dresses, purses, and accessories at the most ridiculous, giveaway prices, ebay continues to rock our worlds day after day after day. right now, we're searching for vintage cups and saucers for our apartments, lol:



don't ask, lol.

*louboutins - we're major suckers for sky high pumps with the signature louboutin red soles. they're like a secret weapon of instant fabulousness and we can't wait to start our very own louboutin shrine someday, lol. here are some of our favorite looks from celebrities who wear them well:



sigh. soon come...

*jersey dresses - these are wardrobe staples where we're concerned. fluid, easy pieces that always work in those 'nothing to wear' moments. we're loving this rachel pally dress, now available at shopbop:



...and these pieces by frenzii and jully kang:



available at shop verucasalt and ladyee boutique

...but of course we're ballin' on a forever21 and h&m budget :)

*frozen yogurt: if you've had pinkberry's yogurt (especially with their mango and cookies + cream topping), you've pretty much gone to heaven:



if you haven't, put it on your list of things to do before you die. yes, it's that serious :)

that's all folks! well, at least for now. what are you loving at the moment?
