The Saint Laurent Lulu Inspires Me To Want To Wear White Like A High-End House Painter

This Saint Laurent Lulu is already a wishlist item, but I never considered how lovely the all-white Lulu could be until Vogue gave me this image just now. 

My Never Ending Obsession With Jennifer Fisher's Mini Mini Creations


Jennifer Fisher mini mini triangle earrings, Ksubi tee, aviators (similar here)

Tiny earrings that are almost invisible to the eye until a glimmer of light hits the precious metals just right. It turns out these gold Jennifer Fisher Mini Mini earrings are harder to shoot than I ever thought.   I'm wearing the triangle ones, but it's hard to tell without violating your personal space and giving you an extreme close up of my ear lobe. So I spared you, and instead choose to write about my love for these in plain words accompanied by a single photo taken at an appropriate distance.

"Why even bother with such tiny pieces of jewelry" some have asked me.

Well, I say, it's because they're completely charming. You hold them in your hand and they are just so intricately crafted (and small!) that you start to wonder how mixing and matching all these shapes will look. They are just the right size for multiple pierced ears. And in true Mexican form, I had all six of my ear piercings done when I was a wee baby — obviously not my idea, but in retrospect a stroke of genius on my aunt's behalf. Seeing how beautiful the gold looks you will start to wonder how beautifully quirky the diamond lighting bolts will shine. 

In a word, they are perfect. My expectations for minimal, feminine, and modern are met and depending on which you go for, they won't break the bank. The traingle mini mini's are just $100 for 14k gold.

Watch Yourself




Would it be crazy to play stackety stacks with these watches on one arm? No! That's what I thought, too. Kate Spade just released their new line of watches, and I must say, I am pretty impressed. They've covered the classic shapes and spinned them with femininity with small details like pink dials and jewelry details. I'm leaning towards the black square faced watch at the top, but then I notice the silver metal chain link one and I really  think I could use that one in gold. Then I wonder, "but the minty teal looks fantastic, what about a pop of color?" Which only brings me back to the simplicity of the cuff-like black and white ones. They come in more colors, so excuse my preference for the black, the white, and the minty lately. Which one would you choose? It's like a candy store!

 

Instant Classic: WANT Les Essentiales De La Vie leather portfolio case


Looking like a professional has definitely gotten a lot more interesting with the coming of the WANT brand. They make small leather goods that turn your plain ordinary iPhone, Galaxy tab, or even your wallet into something like a straight-off-the-runway Céline creation. The look is luxury, the price ain't $265.
