Glittering Fools

I'm obsessed with Jordan Carlyle's iPhone cases after discovering them while browsing Shopbop .  Carlyle's modern art is very unique and I love how he is influenced by his background in architecture and design and incorporates many different textures in his pieces.  Can't wait to order one of his cases for a little bit of everyday raw glamour!

Kate Spade's new bag has caused outrage on Twitter because of what it appears to say.  The new bag, part of Kate Spade's Call to Action line, was designed as a celebration of the brand and was to be interpreted as saying : "I Heart Kate (Spade) New York".  Unfortunately for Kate Spade, the bag just looks like it says "I love Kony, kidnapper and killer of children".  Hopefully Kate Spade will pull the bag from its place on shelves.  And as I sit here at 8:30 in the morning, all I have left to say is #baconeggandcheeseplease .

I have been too busy to post for a few days with work, school, and having my sister in town this past weekend.  Nothing gets me back into the swing of things like a productive day off from work/school and some new music. Stereoshock, Josh Cohen, just released "Run Boy Run Away" to thank his fans for supporting him and making his remix of Kaskade's Atmosphere a hit.  The remix features Passion's Pit's "Carried Away" and Woodkid's "Run Boy Run".  "Run Boy Run Away" is available to download for free off of Stereoshock's Soundcloud .  Like his Facebook page  for more free music!

Signing up to do the October Challenge at Pure Barre (20 classes in 30 days) means early morning barre sessions almost daily. Most mornings I have only a slim window of time between class or work, so my go- to routine is becoming a little dry shampoo, a quick swipe of eyeliner, and throwing on a sweater or knit top over my leggings.

Below are my picks for Shopbop's new markdowns!  I included pieces that can be transitioned from Spring/Summer to Fall/Winter, like the Blaque Label dress that would look great with pointy heels, tights, and a leather jacket or the BB Dakota top with jeans for a night out any time of year.
