there is so much to love from lauren moffatt. AS USUAL. i'm really, really getting behind the asymmetrical detail of those snap-front tops.

2012-01-26T12:04:00.000-06:00

if your vacation priorities are a lot like mine, you relish the idea of sitting back with a cocktail in hand, sinking your toes into the sand, and doing absolutely nothing. but, your mind can't help but wander and, soon, you want to see everything else your destination has to offer. so, why not walk the line between relaxation and adventure with a little exploring? Kauai—Hawaii's aptly named garden isle—offers plenty of opportunities for you, my like-minded friend. between soaking up the sun and sucking down the mai tais, take in the tropical flora at any of the island's colorful oases and preserves, or brush up on your Hawaiian agricultural history with a tour of one of the state's many sugar plantations. maybe we're not quite ready for surf lessons or volcano trekking—but, luckily for us, there's an entire world of discovery hidden inside this historic little isle.

noa noa.

2012-01-23T15:12:00.000-06:00

i think you need some pretty photos to jumpstart your week. these, from danish line noa noa, should do the trick.

now, we just need to get across the pond to get our hands on some noa noa of our own, don't you think?

getaway girl: salt lake city.

2012-01-20T17:59:00.003-06:00

chances are, if you're reading this right now, you're lamenting the fact that you're the only person in the entire world who's not at alt summit in salt lake city. you're not, trust me. i'm not there, either. that makes two of us.

i was really excited to have been given the opportunity to speak on fashion blogging with some really talented bloggers: jessica of what i wore, summer of eliza magazine and gala of gala darling. and, i was really humbled to have been asked by design mom herself, gabrielle, to be a part.

i attended the first year, 2010, and drew so much inspiration from the speakers, the events, everything. you can read my roundup from the experience here. i can only imagine how much it has grown since then... it truly is becoming a blogging institution.

anyway, as fate would have it, some things that i couldn't avoid (why does the need for money always have to conquer fun?) ended up dashing my alt summit 2012 hopes and dreams. BUT, thanks to the nature of the gig, we can all experience a little of it via twitter... though, i'll tell you, we're totally missing out.

i was looking forward to turning some OTW (on the web, fyi) friends into IRL friends and meeting some new friends all together (my favorite part of 2010 was discovering new, fantastic blogs i hadn't yet been introduced to). i had talked to a lot of you about getting together, and it breaks my heart that i missed out on meeting you.

here's hoping i'll see you in 2013. the events and panels seem to be getting exponentially more spectacular, so i promise you, it'll be worth it for the both of us.

last night was the highly anticipated, french-inspired dinner en blanc—and, to be honest, missing out on this might've made up 65 percent of my disappointment. i did, however, attend in my pretend world. i had a ton of pretend cocktails and made a lot of amazing pretend friends. this is what i pretend wore:

+ sequined collar by fiona paxton
+ dress by gucci (ha! i wish)
+ clutch from kiki london
+ heels from loeffler randall

p.s. over the holidays, i got a chance to see 'book of mormon' in new york. ONE: it was brilliant—regardless of your beliefs. TWO: i'll never be able to say salt lake city the same way again. it will forever be salt-a-lake-a-see-tay. but, no matter how you say it, it's gorgeous, and i'll be there next year for alt summit 2013. promise to meet me there?

2012-01-20T15:49:00.000-06:00

i hope these bright colors in mulberry's spring/summer campaign cheer you up a little this friday like i'm hoping they will for me. giant amounts of ice cream might help too.

in the mood for... pastels.

2012-01-16T16:10:00.001-06:00

it's beautiful and springy here today so i couldn't help but feel a little pastel:

lace shorts from topshop; wing studs from bing bang; shoes from dieppa restrepo; cat-eye frames from cutler and gross; paint chip placemat from leif.

i'm not alone, right? now that the heavy holidays are over, springy and summery months are creeping into your mind?

(the bottom set is by huit, and the top set is by eberjey.)

2011-12-30T08:04:00.000-06:00

just a little something pretty.

happy new year, y'all.

2011-12-27T10:04:00.000-06:00

who's on board for steven alan's resort collection?

lizzie fortunato.

2011-12-26T06:00:00.000-06:00

i hope everyone had or is having a wonderful holiday. i did.

now, on to 2012.

looking for some good fortune in the new year? i'd start with this crystal ball clutch from lizzie fortunato.

christina kober.

2011-12-20T08:02:00.000-06:00

gorgeous, yeah?

maybe you should treat yourself to a little something sparkly for the new year.

p.s. remember christina's fortune cookie necklace? well, look at what she cooked up for me. i am obsessed. and feeling fortunate. thank you, christina!

rue blanche.

2011-12-16T08:59:00.000-06:00

huge thanks to jen of honey kennedy for introducing me to this amazing belgian line. i've had some difficulty getting inspired lately (what with the holidays and trying to think of others... it's hard!) so i was delighted to see these beautiful images today. i'm hoping it's enough to give me a little push so that i can make it through the rest of the year.

thank you for sharing your gift ideas with me last week... it certainly helped. but i'm still so far from being done. i'm the worst procrastinator ever. or, am i the best? either way, i'm way behind.

asos.

2011-12-09T07:39:00.000-06:00

i'm trying real hard to think of 10 reasons this dress shouldn't be a christmas gift to myself.

also, why is asos so amazing?

lana stepul.

2011-12-07T08:15:00.000-06:00

who needs a sparkly party dress?

need supply.

2011-12-05T08:35:00.000-06:00

what a pretty little thing this shearling jacket is. so, why am i not shipping it to myself right his second? oh yeah, that little thing called christmas.

i really need to get on getting my gifts in order. how are you doing with that? you finished like a month ago, didn't you? one day i will do that.

what's the best gift you've gotten for someone so far? i need ideas, so please share all you want.

for love & lemons.

2011-12-01T15:57:00.001-06:00

this would be pretty for the holidays.

(from bicyclette boutique)

palomarie.

2011-11-28T07:54:00.000-06:00

it's time to kick off the gifting season here at greedy girl. through the holidays, i'll be featuring gift ideas for everyone with a series of gift guides thrown in here and there.

austin-based palomarie's a good place to start. most of the collection is around $20 AND you can take 20 percent off with the code BEMERRY20. so now you can afford to pick something up for yourself, too. see how that works?

so, go, be merry.

gat rimon. (again.)

2011-11-21T08:59:00.000-06:00

... just one more shot. pretty.

gat rimon.

2011-11-21T08:32:00.000-06:00

lots of pretty to see from french label gat rimon. can you believe those green gloves? or the pop of color under that coat? or her really amazing hair?
