Winter Tales

The new Christian Louboutin Fall 2010 look book has been revealed for our viewing pleasure. Each shoe is showcased in its own story, and I am having some major shoe envy. My favorite are the silver booties, but what's your favorite?

Rock Your Socks

I cannot fully get on-board a trend until I try it for myself. I've been seeing models and celebrities sporting ankle socks with heels for a while now and am wondering how this look will translate from runway and red carpet to the streets. I think this trend stems from booties (which I love), so you can bet that I am hopeful once I find the right pair of socks (preferably thin and a couple inches above the ankle...plus a little glitter won't hurt). I'm loving these, and not minding these either.

Dior showcased this trend in their Spring 2010 show, and I'm loving all three looks. What do you think?

Etsy

I have a growing love affair with Etsy. Though it is home to some fabulous handmade and vintage items, I sometimes think it's hard to find exactly what I'm looking for since there is so much to choose from. While I cannot claim to have browsed the entirety of Etsy, here are some of my favorite things I've come across.

Visit White Owl for this necklace and other similar handmade pieces

Visit Artigiano Jewel Box for this Blackbird Ring

For this watercolor and many others visit Laura Trevey's store

(p.s. these are great as gifts)

A Fashion State of Mind

I am a self-proclaimed fashion, food and make-up junkie and I'm starting this blog to share my ideas and tips with all of you. I walk the line between fashion-obsessed and shopping-addict daily, though I'd like to think of myself as the former. I don't claim to have a particular style (although I am often teased that over half of my closet consists of black garb), I just enjoy the endless possibilities of experimentation. Now you know a little about me, but just so you know me a little better, here are some of my current obsessions:

White Nails (I Do! I Do! by OPI)

Aviators (by Ray Ban)

Rompers (by Forever 21)

Chunky Platforms (by Andrea & Joen)
