much of a polish on the fingernails kinda girl...

essie polish collection for fall 2011. see more here.

this is the

best wedding i've read on the new york times in a while...

probably the

i'm having a bit

of a scarf moment here. oh sure, it's 93 degrees, and i'm sweating consistently throughout the day.

but i'm dreaming of a slightly cooler climate, where a wonderful print or some bright colors around the neck adds the perfect touch to an otherwise simple outfit.

Published by Thames & Hudson, see more info on the book here.

just loving

could this be the perfect work bag?
