Currently Craving: Rhinestone Cowboy

Navajo Beaded Cuff from Free People; American West Drawstring Hobo from Gray Horse Trading Co.;
Urban Renewal Vintage Western Leather Belts from Urban Outfitters;
Missoni Lurex Shorts from Browns Fashion; Opening Ceremony Charm Bootie

I'm definitely feeling inspired by the Erin Wasson shoot from Vogue Italy this month - all I want to wear is long dresses, cowboy boots, and thrifted button-ups. Oh, and I'd add any of the above items to that list too. Especially the Opening Ceremony boots - love them!

I'm working on a blog redesign tonight, so please excuse the mess. I'm playing around with a 2 column design - I think it looks a little more neat than 3 columns, don't you think? I also made the posts a little wider too, so that the pictures can be bigger. Let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for the redesign - I can use all the help I can get!

I haven't been keeping up on taking outfit pictures lately, but it's so hard for me to get inspired to dress up in this heat! I just want to throw on whatever is cool and flowy and thin, and be done with it! Luckily, this tank top is all of those things, but I can't say the same for the faux leather skirt - ugh, I don't know how people do leather shorts and skirts in the summer! Maybe I just have a low tolerance for heat? Anyhow, as if you don't all know this already, I can't wait for winter!! And feel free to remind me of this in February when I'm complaining about the snow and cold... :)

Marshalls Fashion Finds

Tahari dress, $79.99 at Marshalls (compare at $228)

A little while ago the good people at Marshalls sent me a gift card to check out their latest summer and back-to-school styles. They reeeeeaaalllllyyy shouldn't have done that, because giving a gift card to a shopaholic is like giving a sip of vodka to an alcoholic - once I started looking, I couldn't stop buying! So maybe I ended up spending far more than the gift cards were worth - but just check out the deals that were to be had! J Brand, James Perse, Tahari... all at ridiculous discounts! Click here for Marshalls locations near you - but a warning to all my fellow shopaholics - shop at Marshalls at your own risk!

J Brand jeans, $43 at Marshalls (compare at $69.99)

Rachel Rachel Roy romper, $39.99 at Marshalls (compare at $88)

James Perse maxi skirt, $34.99 at Marshalls (compare at $78)

Bagatelle jacket, $15 at Marshalls (compare at $100)

Currently Craving: Boots

Jeffrey Campbell Lita from Solestruck; Sam Edelman Winsford Clog Boot from Free People;
Jeffrey Campbell Harley Harness Boots from Free People; Jeffrey Campbell Under Grown
Boot from Karmaloop; Jeffrey Campbell Tube 2 from Solestruck

I'm all out of sorts. It's 90 degrees outside and I'm fantasizing about (and ordering) winter boots. Why does fashion always have to run one season ahead? Also, this post could have been called "Currently Craving: Jeffrey Campbell", because 4 out of 5 of these boots are JC. I'm a little obsessed lately - but seriously, have you checked out their Fall/Winter lookbook? It's incredible! Have you guys gotten swept up in the preordering mania like I have?

PS: I listed a few things on ebay this week, including a Marchesa dress and some Velvet Angels shoes, so if you're in a shopping mood be sure to check them out!

Sunshine, cutoff shorts, flimsy tank tops, messy buns, lake breezes, and fudge. The ingredients for a perfect summer day! Hope all my American readers had a fabulous holiday weekend, and enjoyed the sunshine and warmth!

Jeffrey Campbell F/W 2010

Have we all seen the Jeffrey Campbell F/W 2010 lookbook yet? It's available to download here, and oh man, it's shoe-porn at its best. The styles will be hitting stores in the next 4-10 weeks, and my money is on the Lita platform boot (pictured above) selling out immediately. Are you going to be saving your pennies for any of these shoes?
