Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly love Madewell’s sidewalk skimmers any more they had to go and make them with polka dots! Be still my heart.

I’m headed to New York in two weeks and am starting to think about proper winter clothes (it’s been in the seventies here recently, good ol’ California…). I’m loving these striped sweaters and chic cardigans. The Tory one at top right is called the “Katie” — must be fate ;)

Fairly certain 2012 calls for these… #newyearnewshoes

Let’s hear it for the LBD. Each unique, each so chic… Do you favor the lace, pleats or jacquard?

I stumbled upon these portraits of Jenna Lyons on The Nowness yesterday (an oldie but goodie piece on her “interior obsessions”) and thought they were lovely. Such a pity they’re selling that beautiful house… Photographed by Frances Tulk-Hart.

So I’m on the hunt for new sunglasses, but I’m so torn about what shape…? Do you have a pair you swear by? Below are a few favorites from Shopbop. Decisions, decisions…

I’m obsessed with this Alice + Olivia coat from Shopbop. It’s just so…smart. And it’s called the Constance Striped Coat, which I love. A good name is important, don’t you think? ;)

P.S. It reminds me of this coat. All hail Kate Spade.

As much as I love color in my interiors, when it comes to my wardrobe I tend to stick to two hues: black and white. These dresses with their A-line skirts, polka dots, bows and lace details have Neo-Trad written all over them ;)

Networkin’ It / Too Much Fun

Elegance Engineer / Dot Necessarily

In Perfect Contrast / Dot Mind If I Do

I firmly believe in polka dot undies…and bralettes too. These cute things from Madewell made my holiday wish list. Santa baby, just hurry down the chimney to me…

A chic little camel ensemble to start your day! The dress is from Target — do you die?!
