first aid
Wednesday, October 11
Like everyone I know, I am feeling speechless and helpless, horrified by the atrocious murders and kidnapping of Jewish people and the staggering loss of innocent lives in Israel and Palestine. I am praying for peace and the end of this violent conflict--and donating commissions Le Catch makes to help the victims and their families. Another small and easy way to help is to buy a box of Eat Your Flowers' Sky Cookies for Peace--think marbled butterfly pea flower and vanilla shortbread dough pressed with edible sun daisies--that LA-based baker Loria Stern says, "looks like the sky and tastes like heaven," with proceeds going to Together Rising, an organization dedicated to providing aid and relief in the wake of the heartbreaking events unfolding along the Palestine-Israel border. Please help in supporting humanitarian aid organizations.

denim discovery
Monday, October 9
I'm insatiable when it comes to jeans. Even though I possess a healthy stockpile of denim in my closet, I can't stop myself from looking for the next best thing. And you know me, I leave no stone unturned, sniffing out high and low options, and the unexpected in between. Enter Faherty's new collection of denim! The organic line is ten(!) years in the making, which explains the spot-on silhouettes and washes, and why each fit perfectly fits. I'm hooked on the slim straight leg jean, pictured, because it hugs/holds in all the right places, and I can wear them with everything from heels and flats to sandals and boots. The denim midi skirt is also in constant rotation. See the full line-up here!
big on blooms
Friday, October 6
Among the prettiest bunch of flowers I've seen lately are abloom on Blanca Miro's jacket, above. I found copycats of her Chanel camellia brooches here for $16. Speaking of blossoms, I'm loving the Prada-like floral applique Anthropologie blouse ($150), below, and my beautiful inside-and-out friend Alessandra Codinha's recently-launched collaboration with Anastasio Home, featuring the most striking marble vases and bowls, designed to hold what she calls "an explosion of flowers." They are statement making and forever-lasting. More flower power via this party-ready Rodarte dress, these Prada ballerinas, and this Rhode embroidered fleece pullover. Happy weekend!
bold and blingy
Friday, October 6
Most people save their blingiest, brightest baubles for big occassions. Not me. I love the unexpected yet spell-binding mix of statement jewelry and everyday-simple silhouettes. The counter-intuitive combo looks glamorously thrown together--chic, not chichi, if you know what I mean. Dorsey's new collection of super sparkly lab-grown diamond earrings are designed to straddle the fancy/casual gap (and not break the bank!), with these gorgeous pics proving that bright baubles need not wait for a party to get out and play. Just the opposite: they deserve even more airtime, particularly the emerald lovelies, above, the cushion-cut white sapphire drop earrings, below, and the gorgeous oversized white sapphire earrings, last pic. Check out the dazzling (bound-to-sell-out-as-usual) collection here.
phone home
Thursday, October 5
My propensity to misplace my phone is apparently written in the stars: 16.7% of phone losers are Geminis while four other signs--Libra, Scorpio and Pisces and Cancer--are also popular within the group. I'm a Libra, and so, for my upcoming birthday, I am going to remedy this annoying habit and look stylishly while doing so, with Ossa's cute phone wrist strap (similar to above) AND cross-body strap, below. These options from Casetify are also super cool. Wish me luck!
