plaid and garters

the perfect sexy outfit. gorgeous ashley greene in flannel and garters. this look is so me in so many ways. i just posted it on my tumblr and i had to repost it here because i love it so much.
speaking of ashley, i saw new moon and it is incredible. i loved it so much more then twilight but i knew i would as it's my favourite book of the series. go see it!
speaking of sexy underthings, i can;t wait for sonia rykiel for h&m this weekend. i want to many of the tops/bras.

these would make me very happy.
lace/star/swiss dot bras, philip lim flight jackets, mulberry bayswaters for my mac, over the knee boots, denim and grey jersey dressed up.
speaking of mulberry... should i get the pink leopard shiny leather or the soft navy leather?
that is if i end up buying one... ;)

bits and bobs

one of the things i'm on the lookout for in nyc is nice piece of jewelry, nothing too pricey but a quality piece to add to my collection. i'm definitely checking out barneys for elizabeth and james and catbird in williamsburg for cute pieces from bittersweets nyc.

from bittersweets nyc, i'm still in love with their baby vamp rings. i also love their engraved items. stacked letter rings and a mini id bracelet, so sweet.
from elizabeth and james i'm liking their rings. the wrap around twig is stunning and i love the maltese cross. the studded disc ring seems interesting and i'd like to see how it looks on.

daydreaming


i follow about 100 blogs. i try very hard not to forget where i pick up images because i hate when people post my stuff without giving credit back, still sometimes it happens.
if these belong to you drop me a shout, i'd love to link back to you and give you props for posting photos that truly transport. with summer ending and the city getting me down a girl can dream about days like these.

*** a few blog notes. i've greatly expanded my labeling so if you like a post click on the corresponding label for related items.
it's taking a long time to redo almost 2 years of posts but i'll get there. i've also tried to re-size some posts too. i won't do everything as that is just too much of a process, but it is bringing new life to some older stuff on tns. for example, if you're new to miss alexa chung i've done loads of posts on her style in the past and they're all re-sized so check out the archives.

this shopping ban is not working


trying to save for new york is not going well.
i just bought two new necklaces.
i've been jonesing for a new rackk and ruin piece, but i was too late on the stuff i'd been eying and it all sold out. molly, make more stuff! disappointed i began searching etsy and i came across this seller, another feather. she makes beautiful folky pieces, and i feel in love for this antler/copper necklace. 
speaking of molly from rackk and ruin, i also feel in love with the talon necklace she's been wearing lately.  the stylish wanderer is selling them through her site. i couldn't help myself when she said she only had a few left, i had to snatch one up.

candy floss


if my hair was naturally blond i'd dye it like this. i've grown out so many years of highlights to have virgin hair again that i'd feel like i was hurting it if i hit the bleach.

i know better then to be friends with boys with girlfriends

sometimes i feel like i have so much to say that i end up chucking any ideas and not writing about any of it. it's just too much to get down and everything gets all jumbled and lost from my head to the keys. so i'm just going to let it all go and start with what's on my mind, in my heart and in my closet right now. today i headed to the holt renfrew outlet to try and discover some treasures. for those not from canada, holt's is our luxury retailer here. i'm sure i could have found more if i had spent hours there but instead i came home with just one pair of silk panties. not much, but at least they are from my favourite lingerie label/designer first love, stella mccartney. i wish that they had her day of the week undies but this star print is my other fav. style from her collection, so i'm very happy. i tried to re-create the radiator photo with my pair as posing in them for you would make me die of mortification. plus, my guy likes to keep the goods for himself. they are so lovely on though, pretty much a thong shape, super delicate with beautiful lace trim and just the right amount of gathers. i want more. i've also included two tracks for you all to take a listen. meiko and eric hutchinson, two of my favourite tunes right now and i highly recommend you pick them up on itunes.

carter smith

with tons of work in gq, elle and various vogues, carter smith is a big name in photography. along with numerous covers and celebrity stories, he's taken some of my favourite photos of mary kate olsen (the studded vest shot graces my wall), anja with her long hair and james mcavoy. my photographer of the day, carter smith.
