..like diamonds spinning dizzily on the floor

My sincerest and utmost apologies for the lack of posts. This blog has become the long-lost child of mine I can't seem to get a hold of. Lately my life has consisted of visiting family members in hospitals, working too many hours, and squeezing in savory moments with my wonderful boyfriend. Thanks for your patience, and I promise to get this seriously up and running by the new year.

In the meantime, this is something I'm more than gushing over. Jimmy D's chained shirts were shown at the NZFW in September, and image was taken by Rumy Neely herself.

Talk again soon.

Lots of Love, M

PANTS!

been on the hunt for perfect, fun, Fall pants. actually, obsessed, sounds more like it..

when it comes to the perfect pair of pants I'm extremely picky. either it doesn't fit right, the material is too thick/tight/unadjustable/etc, or I just can't see myself living in them. when I buy pants I always invest in a pair that I will most likely wear everyday in every which way. 

Catherine Malandrino has a plethora of pants this Fall, all of which have my greatest interest at heart.
