I have those boots.

Now that I'm older, I relish in the thought and comfort of casual, cool wear.

Bye books, hello e-reader (iPad)?

Even though my loving boyfriend bought me an early birthday gift- my beloved iPad- I still crave purchasing books (in fact, I did buy a soccer paperback this week!). There is something comforting in the smell of a brand new book. As a young child while meandering around in bookstores, I would pick up books I was interested in and take a deep whiff of the new pages, being careful so as to not damage the spine, cover, or book contents of the treasured adventure waiting to happen.

I love the post 'because i'm addicted' did earlier today in reverence of the unique book collections one can shelve for decor. Should we trade in what we deem as antiquated book collecting- which I truly LOVE- for the more eco-friendly and space-saving e-reader device??

I adore cerebral-looking family/living rooms. There is just something cozy about being able to pick a book up off of the shelf and curl up on the couch and READ.

Check out the cab driving by through the window reflection (give it about 10 seconds)...neat.

Kate Bosworth can make rags look glam.

Sheer simplicity at any event.

more of Khloe's closet via The Coveteur

I am speechless. This slideshow, courtesy of Elle by way of 'The Coveteur', is phenomenal. Makes me drool and covet some Louboutins.

I heart Tory Burch

I only have her mocassins from last season, but I would love to cop another pair from her collection. Click here to see these shoes (and the price).

sombreros

I just bought two hats last week to fulfill my hat craze and burgeoning fetish. Looking at these pictures doesn't help damper the cravings.

I LOVE, LOVE this hat- color, shape, and all.

Did Nicole Richie popularize the Amish-looking hat??

The red color of this hat pops her outfit.

By far, my favorite hat and ensemble (or at least one of my favorite ensembles).

a new muse

I found a new style muse. You can find her blog here.

I stumbled upon her post below and instantly was captivated by her outfit. I will be searching for a lace dress and a pink-nudish sweater/tunic to mimic this outfit. Too bad I don't have black vintage flat boots! The ones she has on are totally swoon-worthy.
