Wrap up Darlings!

Beautiful Fall weather has been keeping me happy lately and I am so excited to dive back into my boots and layers. I'm currently on the search for some brown Over the Knee boots like these fabulous Report Boots! Les cuissardes are just fabulous and I personally can't get enough of them. Many of the NYC women strut around in a wonderful array of great boots a la beret and cute pashmina, and it makes me so happy.

But rather than your typical pashmina, why not dress up your neck with something handmade and shabby chic. I found this wonderful scarf on Etsy and fell in love. Deniz's shop has a nice variety of colors in this crochet wonder...get one and feel fierce darlings!

{Thanks Deniz}

Puma Shoes

Puma AG Rudolf Dassler Sport, officially branded as PUMA, is a major German multinational company that produces high-end athletic shoes, lifestyle footwear and other sportswear. Formed in 1924 as Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik by Adolf and Rudolf Dassler, relationships between the two brothers deteriorated until the two agreed to split in 1948, forming two separate entities, Adidas and Puma. Puma is currently based in Herzogenaurach, Germany.

Elegant Black and White Puma

The company is known for its football shoes and has sponsored acclaimed footballers, including Pelé, Eusébio, Johan Cruijff, Enzo Francescoli, Diego Maradona, Lothar Matthäus, Kenny Dalglish, Didier Deschamps and Gianluigi Buffon. Puma is also the sponsor of the Jamaican track athlete Usain Bolt. In the United States, the company is probably best known for the suede basketball shoe it introduced in 1968, which eventually bore the name of New York Knicks basketball star Walt "Clyde" Frazier, and for its endorsement partnership with Joe Namath.

Puma Shoes Black and White Edition

Following the split from his brother, Rudolf Dassler originally registered the new-established company as Ruda, but later changed to Puma.[3]:31 Puma's earliest logo consisted of a square and beast jumping through a D, which was registered, along with the company's name, in 1948. Puma's shoe designs feature the distinctive "Formstripe",[3]:33 with clothing and other products having the logo printed on them.

Puma owns 25% of American brand sports clothing maker Logo Athletic, which is licensed by American professional basketball and association football leagues. Since 2007 Puma AG has been part of the French luxury group PPR.

J'aime bien cette distance qui existe avec les modèles
quand je les prends en photo. C'est une façon d'entretenir
le mystère qui se doit d'exister. Comme une barrière
infranchissable.

Catwalks of Spring 2011: Guest Blogger Series

The settling into my Big City dream is almost complete my darlings and I thank you with a thousands XOs for having patience and providing support while I've ventured down this rocky path full of obstacles to accomplish my goals. With only a few boxes left to unpack in my new apartment and a growing list of things to buy to make it feel like "home" I have started to really enjoy it here. Not that I didn't before, but its kind of hard to love a city fully when you are worried about being homeless...but I digress. I still need to set up the TV and internet in my pad and there will be plenty of decorating to do which I'm hoping to bring you all along with me for the excitement!

In the meantime, I'm sure you've been desparate to get the scoop on last month's Spring 2011 NY Fashion Week and Meaghan of WIT & Whimsy has just that for you! Enjoy the views of the catwalks mes cheries!

While we get into Fall and I begin to secretly await the days where I can wrap myself in thick and cozy Theory sweaters and fun, inexpensive pieces recently picked up at H&M, I'm still already beginning to craft styles in my head for Spring.

At Fashion Week, I have to admit my favorite part is seeing certain trends come to the surface. Here's what I saw for Spring 2011...get excited! (And see all my NYFW Spring 2011 posts here!)
