Currently Craving: Stripes and Wedges

Lindsey Thornburg Betty Krueger Dress; MinkPink Straight A's Stripe Jumper; Acne Pre-Fall 2010 Wedges; Jeffrey Campbell Buckle Up Wedge; Acne Extreme Stripe Dress

Technically, I'm always craving wedges, but the Acne Pre-Fall 2010 wedges have me thinking about selling an organ or two in order to afford them! The blue ones are so hot, but I can't really see myself wearing them out of the house... I know, I'm not very adventurous. But I can't wait to see how they're used in editorials! The Lindsey Thornburg dress is my other fav out of the bunch above - it comes in a maxi and mini version, both of which I love, and was created exclusively for Bona Drag. According to the description, the dress "gets better with age - the knit unravels slightly with wear, in an amazing worn-in Rodarte kind of way." Ok, I'm sold, I'll take one in both lengths, thanks.

Winter Kate

Eden Jacket; Gypsy Rose Vest; Harlow Leather Jacket; Clementine Cami; Jasmine Cardy

Singer22 has the new Winter Kate collection by Nicole Richie available for pre-order! I'm loving it all so far, but I thought this line was supposed to be "affordable"? Oh well, I'll be saving my pennies for one of the jackets - the Jasmine Cardy has my name on it. Nicole Richie can do no wrong!

World's Worst Blogger

I am so sorry that I haven't posted much at all this month, but I hope these gorgeous pictures of Freja from the March issue of Vogue Nippon can hold you over another day until I can get my shizz together. I have so much fun stuff to show you - I have been stocking up on vintage bracelets and dresses, and I got the most beautiful necklace and gloves in the mail the other day! I'll be taking pictures tonight and tomorrow, and hopefully will soon have a post up that will have been worth the wait!

Manhattan

'He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion' - no, make that,
'He romanticized it all out of proportion'.

Lena Erziak

And my infatuation with seafoam green continues! The above bag is the Paolo by Lena Erziak, and it is my latest obsession. The gold chains, the slouchy shape, the tassel... *swoon*! And the Paulo is just one of many swoon-worthy bags in the Lena Erziak Summer 2010 collection!

Leona and Hasna Erziak are the creators of Lena Erziak bags, and their designs have been featured in Life & Style, People, and Audrey Magazine, as well as online at Refinery29.com and PaperMag.com. The sisters site their multi-cultural family and regular travels around the world as major sources of inspiration for their bags, which are hand made in Italy. I had the hardest time picking just a few bags to show you, because I honestly love them all! So I highly recommend checking out LenaErziak.com to view the whole Summer 2010 collection, as well as Fall 2009.

Zac Posen for Target

I'm such a Target addict - the fact that there is no Target in Manhattan is almost enough to make me not want to move there (almost...). But even though Jean Paul Gaultier is coming to Target first, dropping March 7th, I'm much more excited about these Zac Posen for Target pieces. I'm willing to wait until April 25th for such affordably-chic dresses and bathing suits - gives me more time to save up! Check out the whole collection over at Fashionista. Any pieces jumping out to you as must-haves?
