[ wishlist wednesday ] Lila Rice

Posted: February 22nd, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: F-f-fashion, Wishlist Wednesday | Tags: , | No Comments »


I’m crushing on Lila Rice‘s work right now in a major way. It’s all so wonderfully graphic. I especially love the large scale of the earrings. It’s kind of an eighties throw back but totally modern at the same time. It’s all gorgeous and just a little bit on the tough side.

3 – Brass crescent hoops – Bona Drag – $160

[ wishlist wednesday ] The Red Pant

Posted: February 15th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: F-f-fashion, Wishlist Wednesday | Tags: , | No Comments »


My winter wardrobe is feeling kind of boring lately. I mean I love my things but sometimes you just need something new. It just takes a little something bright to shine a new light on your existing wardrobe (and uh yeah, I might be guilty of employing this logic a little too often lately). In any case I am thinking that red pants would make a great transitional piece for this pre-spring season. I love how they kick up a regular ensemble into something fresh and new – like these fashionable ladies illustrate so well.

I tried to make this edition as Valentine’s free as possible. And not just because I happen to be single this year. Every year I get overloaded by all the expectation. Isn’t it better to do something romantic almost any other day? I hope that doesn’t sound too grumpy-pants. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I’ll continue this pink-free zone next week. xo
