i am a greedy girl.

getaway girl (revisited): san antonio.

2012-05-25T19:59:00.000-05:00

hi, friends. i got lost daydreaming of a million places this week, so i couldn't pick just one.

i hadn't really planned on subjecting y'all to another 'go thunder!' post, but since they head to one of my favorite weekend getaways on sunday, i thought why not?

BUT, i was lazy, so you just get this one, pulled from the getaway girl archives.

margaritas and tex-mex never go out of style, and, while this ensemble's a little on the bright side (san antonio is a bright city!), i think it's still a winning combo, too.

inspired by... otomi print.

2012-05-23T03:15:00.000-05:00

so this magical textile created by the otomi people of mexico has made its way alllll over the design blogosphere in recent years

headboards! bedspreads! lampshades!

but, despite seeing it all over the place, i haven't tired of it yet.

... which is why i was especially excited to see the pattern emerge in a wearable form à la this incredible dress from mara hoffman. she's used the print in a number of different looks, too. but i think this bustier dress takes la torta.

who doesn't like a little mexicana?

also shown:
+ scarf, theodora & callum
+ earrings and necklace, asos
+ sunglasses, irregular choice
+ bag, jadetribe

bright colors and bold patterns.

in the mood for... candy colors.

2012-05-21T16:13:00.000-05:00

happy monday, everyone. i hope everyone is having a sweet (ha.) day.

+ dress, mulberry (look at these pretty shots from their recent campaign.)
+ umbrella (a longtime favorite), raindrops
+ earrings, nora kogan (formerly st. kilda, another longtime favorite)

getaway girl: los angeles.

2012-05-18T02:37:00.000-05:00

i'm not a sporty person. i don't care one bit about football. and i only tolerate baseball because i like hot dogs and beer, and ice cream in little plastic hats, and 'a league of their own.'

but the oklahoma city thunder? i am a fan, y'all. a real sports fan. i read sports stories. and watch games. five-years-ago caroline would have scoffed at the idea. straight-up scoffed at it.

but here i am, pretend-getting away to los angeles for games 3 and 4 against the lakers. that's a true fan, guys.

thunder up—yeah, we really do say that here in okc—and have a winning weekend, friends.

+ skirt, chinti and parker
+ t-shirt, edith miller
+ sunglasses, kate spade
+ tote, fieldguided (kate bush lyrics, nba basketball, whatever... i'm not sure why i don't own it yet.)
+ earrings, bluma project
+ ring, the rogue and the wolf (a rumble ring! ha!)
+ sandals, madewell

gypsy.

2012-05-17T01:38:00.000-05:00

i've long admired kate ruggiero's gypsy line of lovely underthings. her collection (now expanded to include swimwear) is handmade in hawaii in what i like to imagine is a perfect little beach hut workshop—because that's what hawaiian dreams are made of, yeah?

and, like in seasons past, photographer extraordinaire daeja fallas has captured the magic that is gypsy in the dreamiest way.

and, as usual, i can't stop looking at the beautiful shots, wishing i owned every piece and cursing the fact that i don't have a model's butt.

in the mood for... a summer blazer.

2012-05-16T14:25:00.000-05:00

just checking in to present to you three lovely ladies, in three incredible blazers, on this third day of the week.

1. maison scotch ... 2. thakoon ... 3. pencey standard

i've been in a bit of a rut lately. can anyone recommend any new up-and-coming designers they're loving? or maybe you've got an artsy friend who's doing something amazing? please let me know. i need some inspiration!

alexis russell.

2012-05-13T01:04:00.001-05:00

i'm obsessed. especially with these... they're garnets, if you can believe it. and all this time i thought i was stuck with a boring birthstone. little did i know uvarovite garnets have been waiting for me my whole life.

antik batik.

2012-05-04T13:54:00.000-05:00

happy quatro de mayo, friends! and happy may 1, 2 and 3 as well—i've been trying to keep away from the computer this week in an effort to get some other stuff done (i didn't).

you haven't missed much, but getaway girl did take a little trip over on jillian's cornflake dreams. istanbul! can you imagine? you should go check it out and take a little fantasy trip to turkey with me.

over at cornflake dreams, you'll find this pretty embroidered top. but i'll be straight with you: i'll take any of the others, as well.

i love the little girl versions, too... especially this one. i want it in my size!

nasty gal.

2012-04-27T12:14:00.000-05:00

feeling a lot of love for nasty gal today. especially for that white lacy number.

here's a little something pretty (and cheap!) to live in this summer.

lemlem. (on fab tonight!)

2012-04-17T18:51:00.001-05:00

one of my favorites is on fab tonight—go! go now!

free people.

2012-04-16T18:06:00.000-05:00

today i'm obsessing over this dress, on super-sale over at gilt. who's with me?

sonia rykiel.

2012-04-13T03:20:00.000-05:00

how much do you love these looks? and especially this one's hair?

lina rennell.

2012-04-12T02:10:00.002-05:00

such beautiful colors and fabrics from lina rennell's spring collection.

not tuesday.

2012-04-06T13:39:00.001-05:00

in a dream world, i'd own every necklace in this shop from rachel wightman. ok, well, to be honest, i think i'd be completely happy with just one... but i'm having trouble narrowing it down. which would you pick? or, do you already have a piece?

in the mood for... smart (and stylish) political branding.

2012-04-02T16:10:00.001-05:00

regardless of your political leanings, you really have to admire the smart branding behind barack obama's re-election campaign.

back in february, greedy girl favorite scarlett johansson and magazine maven anna wintour teamed up to celebrate the launch of runway to win, a collection of pieces from 23 designers supporting the re-election of the president. the top-right tote is from derek lam ($75) and i'm really, really obsessed with it. the bottom-left t-shirt is from marc jacobs ($45). (you can view the rest of the collection here.)

...but, maybe fashion's not your thing (i won't ask what you're doing hanging out on greedy girl). maybe you're a pet lover with a penchant for politics—or just portuguese water dogs? i like that the obama campaign wants you to feel like you (and your furry friends, too) are making a difference. smart move on obama's people's part, if you ask me. plus, really... this sweater? genius.

you can find the other t-shirt here, and the 'our health, our vote' (women for obama) tote here. (also, i didn't know how well this mug would fit in here, but i think it's genius, as well.)

p.s. did you know the POTUS is on pinterest?

the tiny type: as a journalist, i feel like i should reiterate that this—or any other content on greedy girl, for the record—should not be seen as an endorsement of any candidate or his politics and, instead, should be considered commentary on design. ok!

plümo.

2012-03-30T07:27:00.000-05:00

how can so much good come from a single shop? i could live in that jersey dress (from paisie) for the rest of my life. probably that pretty pale blue blouse, too. ok, ok, i could live in it all for the rest of my days.

p.s. take a peek at more from this shoot in marrakech. how much do you want to be that model? winged eyes and bright, matte lips are at the top of my to-do list for the weekend. anyone have any good eyeliner or lipstick recommendations?

p.p.s. use code VIP20 for 20 percent off of spring collection goods until tuesday. everybody wins!

perfect dress, perfect hair.

loeffler randall.

2012-03-19T07:40:00.000-05:00

it's so hard to find a pointy-toed flat, but these fit the bill. now, i just need to make them mine. anyone feeling generous?

fancy french cologne.

2012-03-19T01:13:00.001-05:00

how about some super-bright prints to start you off this week?

one by contrarian.

2012-03-16T01:03:00.000-05:00

how gorgeous is this?

suzanna dai.

2012-03-12T08:14:00.000-05:00

who needs a little razzle dazzle on this monday morning?

i wanted to share more of the beauty that is suzie gallehugh's work after offering a little peek on friday.

doesn't that last pair remind you a bit of daisy buchanan? i know. me too.

inspired by... 'the royal tenenbaums.'

2012-03-07T14:55:00.002-06:00

it's been forever since i've watched this wes anderson classic. and that's really sad because it's my no. 1 top favorite movie ever in history. but since i snatched up that there red scarf—so similar to that storied franco scalamandre wallpaper, minus the arrows—i've been feeling a really, really strong urge to sit down and reconnect with my second-favorite dysfunctional family. maybe we can make that happen this weekend.

+ scarf, fred flare (i actually found mine—for even cheaper!—at karmaloop, but it's sold out at the moment.)
+ ring, forever 21
+ earrings by suzanna dai, max & chloe
+ bracelet, kenneth jay lane
+ pillow, dwell studio

p.s. here's another 'inspired by...' post you might like: 'an education.' another favorite!

made by nike.

2012-03-01T03:45:00.000-06:00

let's get fit in style, shall we?

i wish i knew more about this venture by nike... who can tell me more?
