Thee OP for piperlime
I dont think I could have been any happier when I saw that Olivia Palermo was one of the new guest editors on Piperlime. THEE Olivia Palermo picking her favorite items that I could actually order...what could be better? Clearly I am a huge fan of her style. In true OP fashion, the items are just the right amount of girly, classic and chic. She always knows just the right way to put together a perfect outfit. Whats your favorite piece? And happy "official" first day of Fall!

pretty randomness
Unfortunately, I have been so preoccupied with school this past week that blogging has taken a bit of a back seat. Sorry for the lack of replies and short posts but school work and studying for three exams has taken up my week...oh ya and working too! This post is short and sweet with some pretty pictures to look at. Promise I will be back to normal soon!

window shopping-jewelry edition
Jewelry is something I really don't tire of. I feel it can completely make an outfit and is the best finishing touch. And good jewelry can last forever! Broken English is one of my very most favorite places to "window shop" (its all pretty pricey and the real deal). They offer both vintage inspired and perfectly modern pieces as well as delicate and statement pieces. Um, how amazing is the rose gold spike wrap bracelet-pretty sure I would wear it every single day if it was mine(#13) and how about the bold pyramid cuff-the perfect statement piece(#7). What are your favorite go to pieces?

free-people-fall-fabulousness
Free People has not disappointed at all recently. Every month I have been even more excited about the new catalogue than the one before ! They know just how to mix and match to create the most perfectly stylish boho looks. And these are some of my absolute favorites. Just look at the beaded sleeves on top #1, the super chic blush polka dot blouse and pretty much all three outfits on the bottom row...I want to add every single thing to my closet and that gorgeous tote in #7. And the fact that most of these items are pretty reasonably priced makes it even better! What are your favorite looks for Fall?

top five-casual glamour
This week I am loving the casual glam look...I mean, how perfect is this bedroom? Look at the gorgeous light pouring in, the relaxed yet luxurious bed and the shiny lamps. I love when a look-be it a room or an outfit-has that perfectly pulled together yet relaxed feeling. Not too fancy, yet still tailored and pretty. And a tiny bit of pink never hurts! Hope your weekend was wonderful and that you are ready for another week. My weekend was spent celebrating and studying! Off to take my first test of the semester. Happy Monday!

venetian glam
I absolutely adore Venetian mirrors and the look they add to any room you put them in! They definitely add a sparkly glam factor while also opening up a room the way a mirror does! They are fancy and slightly over the top but I really love them mixed in with more modern decor but equally love the girly pink room just as much. I would love to add one to a large (currently empty) white wall in my dining room. Which means I would need a pretty good sized mirror which would probably run upwards of $1000 (not really my mirror budget right now)! But that doesn't mean I wont try to find one. How amazing is the huge leaning mirror in Nicole's house? Now that is quite a mirror! Do you like venetian mirrors?

j crew spring 2012
For the first time ever, J Crew presented their Spring 2012 line at NYFW and they certainly did not disappoint. I am loving that the fun brights are obviously still around and how gorgeous are the classic/luxe navy and red looks? And the best part is that all of this is J Crew and will be available in the stores (right?)! The striped sequin skirt look and all the bright yellow=love. How can I possibly be thinking all the way ahead to Spring already? Its kind of hard not to when you see gorgeousness like this! What is your favorite?

missoni mayhem
I am definitely a bit blown away by all the Missoni mayhem that took place yesterday. I mean, crashing the entire target website...wow! If target can't handle all the web traffic, then who can? And I am even more blown away by the over 22,000 (when I started this post there were about 15,000) items for sale on ebay! With all the money people are bidding on ebay, they could just buy real Missoni...doesn't really make sense to me? While I certainly was one of the many people excited about the collection (and did order online around 3am) I would NOT pay quadruple the price on ebay...its just not worth it at all. So take your money and go buy real Missoni :) Here are my "real" Missoni picks.
