Hippy Market



On a trip to Ibiza last summer, I stumbled across what was referred to as a "hippy market" down a side street on one of my many wanderings.  It was pretty much just an outdoor market but with tons of cool hand-made, gypsy-like pieces.  Think hammered silver bracelets, bright turquoise rings, and sheer lacy and crochet tops.  Pretty much all the stuff I was seeing hit boutiques stateside but from local venders and with a way cooler story behind any purchase even if they didn't offer free returns by mail.  


Well today I'm off to Nashville's Porter Flea handmade market to check out stuff by local artists and designers.  I've worked markets before, but more like a trade show for buyers and brand reps than a Euro hippy market.  I'm kinda thinking more Etsy (and I have such a weakness for/ addiction to Etsy).

WCW: Taylor Swift

...well I never thought this would happen, but you have to admit- T.Swift killed it while performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in London.   Taylor looked as though she too could be in Angel as she strutted down the runway in black lingeries with a sheer black lace overlay.  Oh hayyyyy, betch As the end of the year approaches, so does NYE meaning the time has come to start scoping out your look to ring in the New Year.  This year I'm starting to consider sheer black lace instead of the usual sequins.  Check out my picks below to get Taylor's look! Jarlo Noah Maxi Nightcap Clothing Dixie dress- ON SALE Lovers + Friends Catwalk dress Bardot Sienna Bralette  &  Skirt I saw T. Swift wearing black lingerie and lace, so I bought black lingerie and lace.

Alexander Wang x H&M

IT IS FINALLY HERE!!!!   Tomorrow Alexander Wang's long awaited collection will arrive in select H&M stores and online.  Blogs have been buzzing about the collaboration since this past Spring, so you know this is sure to sellout quicker than Missoni for Target or Kate Moss' last collection for Topshop .   Stores that will carry the collection will open at 8 a.m. local time and the collection will be available online at 10 a.m. EST.  Due to high demand, customers will not be able to purchase any more than two of the same item.   The full look book is available  HERE  and can be described as the chicest and sleekest collection of workout gear you could fathom.  Think sporty grays and tight black scuba.   Not necessarily your style? While browsing the look book, I was able to find several pieces that would be ideal holiday gifts for any gym rat ( yoga mat $69.95 / duffel bag $129 / water bottle $12.95 ), boyfriend ( Scuba Look bag $129 /  Jacquard Knit hat $29.95

For me the end of summer has come to mean back to school and the promise of cooler weather.  Although I love the bright colors of spring and summer, there is nothing I love more than good denim, cozy sweaters, and rustic boots.  Below are my top pick for this month to get you started on building your fall wardrobe.
