uptown.downtown...

It's amazing that in the 'fashion world' renowned designers are already showcasing their pre-fall 2010 collections. After previewing a few, I must say that Rachel Roy's collection is the far most impressive in my opinion. Exhibiting clean lines, mute yet elegant tones and the mix of drapery & military details...this collection is refined and perfect for the uptown/downtown woman.
Another aspect that blew me away, was just how refreshing yet retro inspired each individual look came across...call this a coincidence however I think she definitely got it right!
What are some of your favorite retro inspired designer looks?

Vintage Cocktails, $50

The Satorialist, $25

Domino: The Book of Decoration, $32

Tim Walker Pictures, $125

I Love Your Style, $19.99

There is nothing more fascinating then flipping through a rather large, vivid, coffee table book! My collection keeps growing at a rapid pace...never quite giving me the chance to take a break from purchasing these lovely reads. With my birthday steadily approaching (December 8th), I'm thinking about taking a trip to Anthropologie & treating myself.

I firmly believe that Sunday is a 'day of rest...' In the mist of several naps, dessert breaks and mini conversations with mom & sis, I lounge around the house in cozy pajamas...
Additional marvelous handbags were added to the shop this evening. I love how the colors, textures and designs coordinate with each other. There's something elegant & lady like about these 3...

Classy and Fabulous

With tons of vintage handbags to choose from, surly there is something for everyone. However I must say, there is something elegant about a little black purse.
