must haves

Pushmataaha. Shaka Ring (turquoise).

Arnsdorf. Hair Vest.

Maurie & Eve. Sloux Dress (cactus).

Camilla and Marc. Portmans Collection.

Zimmermann. Trival Rouched Dress (cherry bomb).

Carolina Herrera. Audrey Bag.

So I have to admit it...I spend PLENTY of hours in the internet drooling over fashion wonders I can't splurge on. I have a crush on many many labels (Halston Heritage, Haute Hippie, Camilla and Marc, Elizabeth and James, Sass and Bide, Sachin + Babi,...) and would MORE THAN LOVE to be able to wear 'em. However, I'll have to conform with blogging about 'em and thinking that if I work hard enough maybe one day I will! Ha! So...Here are some of my latest drools...

After the horrors we've seen on TV and online about what Japan has lived in the past days, there has been lots of call for help. James White's now-iconic poster has raised thousands of dollars in funds for #helpjapan, and has influenced many designers to follow the flow and create beautiful call-for-aid posters.
