Coveting now...neon!

Not this sweater... keep reading. Neon can feel so 1990 and not in a good way (I'm not even sure what I mean by that), if only to imply it can read juvenile... the above sweater is a fair example. Good in theory I suppose but the actual number of people who could carry it off is, like, one - the model here... and she got paid so we get the motivation.

For the sophisticate in you, try these Pierre Hardy neon trim heels. I would wear these with everything. Classic shape, tonal grey with a hint of rebel in shocking pink.

watch out gladitors

Converting to flats this spring from the sky scraping insanity of last fall makes total sense when you've got these sweet as pie Doris flat espadrille sandals from Paloma Barcelo on Net-A-Porter. Honestly, my eyes cry sometimes... what a much needed visual break from the those damn gladiators. Buy now, I swear this is the next big sandal look.

On a sandal side note, I saw the cutest young woman sporting Jack Rogers yesterday and her look totally washed away any Grosse Pointe preppy I used to see. Hers was so simple, almost Kate Moss simple, that I had to double take... something like cute little jean cut offs and a Winter Kate billowy style tunic.

My favorites were the Navajo Hamptons in gold...

Stuff I want: Lam's Ram

No doubt Derek Lam's Nyla hobo bag will be whispering to me in my dreams... "buy me, buy me." Other than the sleek, easy to wear shape, the ram hardware caught me eye. If animal lure is true, this bag is certainly the strong, powerful, virile type in the handbag world.  If only I were an Aries... Bag Snob goes deeper into the matter.  A little info about the significance of Lam's ram:

The Fall '10 rams head detail is a new generation version of what I did for my very first bag collection. Everybody kept asking me to bring it back, and so with some updated tweaks, it is back. But the original rams head bags from Fall 2006 remain unique and will not be reproduced ever again. This way, I wanted those who have the original bags, my early supporters, will always know they have something special."

If only I had an extra $1200 in 2006 to spare. Perhaps a new eBay search is in order...

Stuff I want...

Found in Alice + Olivia's 4am finds... Rosalie plaid dress... a top for me. So cute for fall! Good for a low key night out, a weekend at the lodge.
