ISABEL MARANT S/S 2013 Trainers

I'm so in love with this season's Isabel Marant sneakers.  This time she has gone all out and is releasing several different colorways.  Their style names are Balesi (Denim), Baya (Calfskin leather), Bayley (Suede with a star design), Wila (Suede with outline) and Bekett (Suede)! LUISAVIAROMA is fully stocked for pre-orders! Get yours quick because they are selling out fast.

Vanity Table Inspiration

Ever since we moved, I had high hopes of finding a spot in our bedroom and setting up a makeshift desk/vanity table.  Our last home had lots of dark furniture so I thought it would be a nice change to lighten up our color choices.  My first choice would have been the Meredith desk at Pottery Barn.  I was very close to pulling the trigger and buying it, but didn't since it was higher than what I wanted to spend. 

Space is a premium in our home, so I decided to go with a smaller desk.  Ultimately, the West Elm Mini Parsons desk was the best fit.  It was smaller in size .. only about 30" wide and had a very simple and sleek look.  I like the white lacquer finish since it seems resistant to dents and dings and scratches like wood might be.

I was inspired by this photo that I found on decor pad:

The chair I bought is from Jordan's Furniture in the children's section.  It is still a standard sized desk chair.  I chose one with cushion because I know it hurts after sitting a while without one.

So I know I wanted a tray to keep the beauty items on, a mirror and lamp.  I got the marble tray in cream from Restoration Hardware since I thought it would go nicely against the white.

I ordered the lamp from PBTeen when they were having an additional 15% off clearance and got the lamp for only $27 shipped!  I wasn't sure about the Lattice lamp shade but I think it goes well.

The lighted mirror by Conair is from Bed Bath and Beyond.  It was a little bit pricy but I got it as a birthday present.  I enjoy the 5x magnification and the light is very useful.

The finished project:

Current/Elliot "The Girlfriend" Shorts in Cosmic

I've been spending my entire summer in shorts and decided to add to my collection with two pairs.  A pair of Siwy Hannah in "It's Magic" and these colorful ones by Current/Elliot for less than $50 because they are on sale at Shopbop!  You can also price match them from Revolve Clothing which is what I did in order to get my size.  I got size 23 and it fits snug but bearable.  I'm also dying to pull the trigger on the stiletto jean in this wash too!

Vibrant colors and various patterns/prints are in this season for jeans, pants and shorts!  I love this pair especially because of the colors.. it's like a pinkish/purple/blue tie dye combination.

I also wanted to show a comparison between my other two tie dye skinny jeans that I got a couple years back.. one by J Brand in Cult (sold out) and Siwy Hannah in Blackstorm. 

When wearing these, I like to keep my top and choice of footwear simple.  I ended up wearing the shorts with my black Lanvin ballerina flats and this whisper top by Splendid.

Wanted: Proenza Schouler Purple Rain

I am a sucker for pretty purple accessories and this season Proenza Schouler's newest shade of purple has caught my eye.  Recently, I have learned to downsize the items in my bag and carry smaller sized bags like my Celine Nano and Givenchy Mini Pandora.  That's a good thing for me since carrying too much causes shoulder pain and a lot of times I only use a fraction of the items in my larger bags!  Plus I've come to realization that large bags tend to swallow my small frame. Crossbody bags are all the rage right now.  I love the hands free option that a lot of designers are offering. 

Ideally, I'd love to get the PS1 Pouch in the Purple Rain... but I like a lot of the styles Proenza has to offer.  Purple Rain is a very interesting color that has a lot of blue tones so it may come off as a blue in different lighting.

The 3 styles that I am coveting:

PS1 POUCH $1325

PS11 CLASSIC $1950

MEDIUM PS1
