♥Listening: Crush On You (Nero Remix) by The Jets. Download. Listen. Repeat. Insane!

♥Adoring: Mania Mania. The juxtaposition between gritty urban glamour and futuristic aesthetics makes me weak in the knees. Even better is the fact that, with the slight addition of the Vagabond Cuff in Bronze, Love on the Left Bank Cuff in Bronze/Silver, or The Eternal Ring with Amazonite in Bronze to jeans and a plain white tee, you can’t help but to radiate raw elegance. Swoon! Leather pants. Specifically, Elizabeth & James’ Bell Bottom Leather Pants, Haute Hippie’s Skinny Stretch Leather Pants, and Current/Elliott’s The Leather Leggings. Paired with Foley + Corinna’s Knit Poncho with Leather Buckles they are effortlessly elegant; topped with FASHION’S NIGHT OUT Fashion’s Night Out Short Sleeve Tee they are edgy chic; and styled alongside Sam Edelman’s Uma Haircalf Platform Booties they are flirty fabulous. With versatility like that, is there any question as to why j’adore? Mais non! Eugenia Kim Hats. They are très Serena van der Woodsen circa Gossip Girl Season 1, vous ne pensez pas? The Zoey Hat? Besoin! The Catherine Wide Brim Hat with Pierced Feather? Convoiter! The Carly Floppy Hat with Tiger Striped Feather? Amour!

♥Desiring: Gryphon Varsity Jacket in Ivory. Now one need not be Head Cheerleader, or the girlfriend of the captain of the football team to rock one of the coolest accoutrements on campus. Ooh, me le donner maintenant! Victoria Beckham Zip Low Rise Skinny Jeans in Wax Sky. The color is incredibly multifaceted, is it not? Just neutral enough to act as a base for oversized chunky knits; yet incredibly eye-catching for those evenings out when you want to cause a standing ovation. Kate Ermilio Double Swing Skirt in Navy. The mere sight of it invokes visions of charming tea parties, society ladies who lunch, and curtsies galore! I shall partner it with Vince’s Little Boy Tee in Coastal and Belle Noel’s Multi Chain Necklace in Palladium to downplay its frou-frou finesse. Amour!

♥Quoting: Robert Frost - “In three words, I can sum up everything I have learned about life: it goes on.”

♥Awaiting: Forever 21 Tiny Heart Ring in Gold/Red. There is something quite charming about a piece of jewelry sporting an aesthetic so simplistic it looks as if it could have been found within the folds of a Cracker Jack box, is there not? Love!

♥Reading: Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik. Ladies Beware: Regardless of how moody Mr. Derek Edwards is, you will find yourself swooning over him in the very same fashion as you do Jane Austen’s Mr. Darcy. It is, after all, a modern re-telling of Pride and Prejudice. Just sayin’.

I am currently obsessing over the Fused Ring in Gold, Cornelian & Turquoise Bangle Set in Gold/Turquoise, and the Fused Stone Earrings in Turquoise. Salut, je vous adore! Charming carryalls trimmed not in diamonds, rhinestones, gold, or pearls; rather, fabulous fringe that shimmies flirtily with every single step one takes! Coveting…Foley + Corinna’s Tassel Fringe Cross Body Bag in Redwood, and JJ Winters’ Small Fringe Bag in Grey, Taupe, et Black. Good things come in small packages – and multiples, mais oui?

Le sigh.

♥Watching: Eloise at Christmastime. Let’s be honest, shall we darlings? Christmas is four months away; it is high time that we begin preparing for the holiday season, and there is no better way to do so than with the assistance of le ultra-precocious Eloise.

♥Desiring: Rebecca Minkoff I Heart Boys, Shoes & Bags Cory Pouch in Blood Red. Apparently Ms. Minkoff has tapped into my inner psyche and scrawled my three loves in saucy script upon this petite pouch. Obviously it needs to make its way into my accessory collection tout de suite! Plush Legwarmer Leggings in Black/Grey. One year later and I am still lusting after these lovelies. Perhaps it’s a sign that I should finally make them mine, mais oui? Marc by Marc Jacobs High Heel Tall Boots in Brick. MJ brings new meaning to the lyrics “she’s a brick…house,” vous ne pensez pas? Could it be that, for 2011, brick is the new black? Aimer l'amour!

♥Quoting: Unknown - “The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation that you ever had.”

♥Awaiting: Forever 21 I’m With the Band Slub Top in Cream/Black. The juxtaposition between effortless glamour and just a smidgen of nineties-inspired grunge is perfection, n'est-ce pas?

J’adore the Heart Bracelet in Gold, Larimar Ring in Blue/Silver, and Turquoise Teardrop Necklace in Turquoise.

One-shoulder aesthetics that allow one’s skin to play peek-a-boo with the world like Elizabeth and James’ Bijou Top, The Addison Story’s One Shoulder Dress, and Torn by Ronny Kobo’s Olivia One Shoulder Dress. Très flirty, yes? Love love!

♥Watching: Almost Famous. Should I ever be reincarnated, I would love to come back as Miss Penny Lane. She is truly too fabulous for words – as is her wardrobe!

♥Desiring: Alternative Adler Bag in Safari. The color makes it transitional through winter, spring, summer, and fall; the avant-garde aesthetic gives it personality; and the price…well, that’s simply irresistible. Avoir besoin de tout de suite! Pencey Crocheted Hoodie in Salmon. Swoon! Oui, mes amours, I am totes in the midst of a love affair with this garment – it is perfection to the tenth power; and would look so adorable topping Cali Dreaming’s The Nubby Bikini in Nude Shimmer, mais oui? Bop Basics The Fiance Blazer. After years of searching high and low for the perfect boyfriend blazer, I have finally found the true crème de la crème. Me pincer, je dois rêver!

♥Quoting: Marilyn Monroe - “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.”

♥Awaiting: Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Clutch in Red. The color is perfection for fall; I simply couldn’t resist. Besides, it’s Rebecca Minkoff…l'amour chronomètre l'infinité!

But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?


Fashionably yours!

♥Reading: Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote. You have not fully experienced the beauty of Breakfast at Tiffany’s until you have read the novella. It is magical.

♥Glamourizing: Nails: mark Ibiza Sol Nailed It Trend Mini Lacquers in Tango. This color is a summer pedicure essential - j’adore! Lips: mark Ibiza Sol Marbleized Lip Gloss in Chica Coral. Eyes: mark I-Mark Metallics in Truffle. Oui, it is as scrummy as it sounds!

♥Adoring: Button Down Shirts that can be tied at the waist and styled with Citizens of Humanity’s Blondie High Waist Skinny Jeans and Giuseppe Zanotti’s Suede Ankle Strap Sandals with Crystals for a très Carrie Bradshaw-inspired look a la Free People’s Easy Rider Button Down Shirt, Patterson J. Kincaid’s Harlow Long Sleeve Blouse, and American Apparel’s Chiffon Oversized Button-Up. Chain-strap handbags – specifically, Diane von Furstenberg’s Harper Ostrich Day Bag in Blackberry, Rebecca Minkoff’s Mini MAC Clutch in Teal, and BE & D’s Tenley Shoulder Bag in Blonde/Black. Very little can compete with the classiness and sophistication created by a well-placed chain strap, n'est-ce pas? Love love! Leather jackets. Ideal for toughening up a floral frock in the spring and summer, and perfect for channeling one’s inner biker babe when paired with skinnies and chunky boots come fall and winter. My current covets? Herve Leger’s Leather & Bandage Perforated Jacket, Jen Kao’s Cropped Leather Smoking Jacket, and D&G’s Zip Front Leather Bomber Jacket. Je. Meurt.

♥Watching: 10 Things I Hate About You. Un petit confession…a part of me has always wanted to be Kat; j’adore her snarky personality!

♥Desiring: American Apparel Tank Dress in Ash Rose, White, Cobalt, Black, et Gray - oui, I want one in each haute hue. The loose aesthetic makes it easy, breezy, and oh-so wearable; whilst the daringly low scoop back adds a delicious dash of seduction to the overall look. J’adore! Rebecca Minkoff Cheetah Clutch in Natural. Do I need? Mais non! Do I want? Mais oui! Jen Kao Desert Grazer Skirt. The asymmetrical hemline and haphazard tie waist create the perfect primitive vibe. I’d top it with a Free People Lace Bandeau, beachy waves, and sky-high strappy sandals for the ultimate bohemian goddess look. Evanouissement!

♥Quoting: Stephen Chbosky - “It’s just that I don’t want to be somebody’s crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.”

♥Awaiting: Exes and Ohs: A Downtown Girl’s (Mostly Awkward) Tales of Love, Lust, Revenge, and a Little Facebook Stalking by Shallon Lester.

From maxi skirt to maxi dress and back again, what girl could possibly resist a two-fer as tantalizing as that? J’adore! Blu Moon Strapless Ruffle Romper in Cupcake Floral et Wedding Cake Floral. Swoon! I am positively head over heels for this playful pretty - etre toujours mon Coeur!

♥Quoting: Carrie Bradshaw - “As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”

♥Awaiting: Forever 21 Summer Eyelet Woven Dress in Coral and White. A simple flirty frock that serves as a canvas for fabulous accessories is an absolute essential for the warmer months; thus the reason I bought deux!
