pretty little things

lace is quite the trend these days and is making appearances in places other than our "pretty little things" drawer. this season, dolce and gabbana has graced us with a make-up collection called sicilian lace. As pictured, the bronzer is a lace pattern!
i've been obsessed with this for weeks and thought it was time to share!

the owls go..... hoot!

owls are all the rage in fashion right now. people are captivated by an animal that symbolizes wisdom. they're inspiring, wishful and make you smile.

can i borrow a hair tie?

you can ask any girl and it is almost guaranteed that she will have a hair tie on her wrist. shall we declare it a trend? though, i doubt this practicality will ever go out of style. it is a necessity even if you're going out on the town just like beauty kate moss!

ahhhhh... target

everybody loves target for one reason or another. i love target for their collaborations with designers. it gives the frugalista another edge at being chic and a chance to own something "designer" at a lower price point. i'll be looking out for these oh so pretty cynthia vincent flats to arrive spring 2010. so one more hooray for target... keep 'em coming!

fall day

this photograph makes me want to do two things: cuddle up on a couch and have a good read or travel the world! just thought i'd share a photo that i love. it has culture,class, and style.

rent the runway

rent the runway is a company mimicking the likes of netflix. can't afford a $1000 dress? don't have to. rent the runway will be offering dresses by designers like diane von furstenberg for a quarter of the price. all you do, is wear it to the event of your choice and ship it back when you're done in the prepaid envelope! dry cleaning is included. the price ranges from $50 to $200. this will be a slow and steady progress, but surely a fashion cure to this economy. the only downfalls is you can't try on the clothes to be sure of the fit. i'll be observing carefully to see the progress, and hopefully be invited to this exclusive online community of hungry fashionistas.
