 Really do come true."

What a beautiful mix of American and European, shabby and chic, classic and romantic. Quintessential Ralph Lauren.

My favorites from Diane Von Furstenberg S/S 2011

This is her first collaboration with Yvan Mispelaere, and a successful one for sure. In typical dfv style, there were lots of bold prints throughout the collection (not shown here). They were great as well, but I tend to gravitate toward the less graphic, more simple silhouettes, like those above. Beautiful. I'm particularly loving the rust and blue color combo in photo two.

Just when I thought I've discovered all the fashionable bloggers out there, along comes Victoria Tornegren. I highly recommend checking out her blog. You will not be disappointed. She tends to dress in blacks, whites, grays, and beiges (which is right up my alley). And her apartment - stark white - is so lovely and a perfect background to her bronzed skin and blonde hair.

made for loving

I just discovered these Balenciaga 'Arena' Chelsea boots on this lovely blog, and I cannot get them out of my head. They are available online at Browns for $766. They are just perfect. The leather quality looks amazing and I love how flat they are. And, yes, they are expensive...but for some reason I don't think they are outrageously priced. But maybe that is my love speaking.
