It is a yucky, rainy day in MD today, but we are heading to Miami tonight for a long weekend AND there are fantastic new arrivals at J.Crew!  I am filling up my virtual shopping cart as we speak…

I NEED this new Viv flat. LOVE LOVE LOVE. The pointy toe feels fresh and I adore the big bow. I love it in topiary and mushroom.

LOVING the new royal paisley print.

{shop} fall bags

Every Fall, I am always yearning for a new purse. I think it is back to school new backpack mentality.

Here are the bags I am currently coveting for Fall. Great colors, shapes, and hardware.

Which bag do you love?

{shop} z spoke zac posen

While I was in Bloomingdales over the weekend, I noticed this purse from Zac Posen’s Z Spoke line:

I am sort of obsessed with the rose gold accents, the big bows on the side, and the aqua blue lining!

It also comes in a plain black, and a quilted version.

Super girly, but fun, right?

{shop} nordstrom anniversary sale 2011

Anyone shopped the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale yet?! It’s my favorite!  I haven’t visited the sale in person yet, but I have ordered some things online.

{click on images for links}

I ordered this Suzi Chin Maggy Dress  and it arrived last week - LOVE.

I also ordered these Sperry Brandpoint Loafers.  We’re taking a trip to Italy this Fall and I’ve been looking for a good pair of walking shoes that a bit more attractive than sneakers.  These are super comfy! They have a memory foam footbed.

I also ordered these Hunter rainboots, but in dark blue.  They haven’t arrived yet, but I love the wedge heel.

Some of my other favorite items:

Alexis Bittar Leopard Hinged Bangle -

Tarnish Tasseled Wool Scarves:

(there was a fab leopard one which I can no longer find online - I hope they have it in the store!!)

Lovely Tory Burch Ambrose flats:

Vince Camuto Jerrell Booties:

Happy shopping! xoxo S

The new kate spade website launched today and it is lovely!  Here’s hoping they issue a special discount code to celebrate the launch because I am obsessed with these tipsy flats.  SO FAB.  Now I just need to decide if I want hot pink or neon yellow…

{shop} boden limited edition

Boden just did their first limited edition collection, and I have to say, I am in love. The pieces are so pretty. Great colors and lovely embellishments. Perfect for Spring!  Shop now because once the pieces are gone, they are GONE. (Side note: big bummer that you can’t use their buy 3 items get the 4th for $1 deal on this).

I am absolutely buying this silk feather top.  The color is gorgeous and I am dying over the silhouette and the beaded neckline.

There are also some LOVELY dresses.

SEQUINS:

See the rest here. Happy Weekend! xoxo
