STRAWBERRY FIELDS/marc by marc jacobs pumps in cedar patent

I don't have a ton to say for this post, but...who doesn't need a strawberry headband?!  I purchased this cutie at a local flea market this past weekend.  They didn't just stop at strawberries either...they had oranges, apples and even a little nesting bird.  Fruit makes for such an exquisite accessory; in fact, just holding a granny smith apple with a hot pink dress doesn't seem like such a bad idea.  Never underestimate the power of a hot prop.

END OF DAYS/zara skort

Here it is...the Zara skort.  It seems like everyone (or every blogger) in the world owns this skort.  And it seems like I cannot go one day without this little number showing up on my Instagram feed.  Does it bother me?  Obviously not, because I too purchased this little cutie...I guess its powers are too strong...even for me.  I think that it is pretty obvious where we go from here...this skort is taking over the world and it is entirely possible that human extinction is in the foreseeable future.  To my knowledge, this skort comes in white, blue and black; you do the math...we can't compete.

DEAR HEART/junk heart jewelry banner necklace

Shopping down South Broadway is one of my favorite things to do in Denver.  The little shops offer everything from unique knick-knacks to clothing to great vintage finds.  I made a trip last week to some of the Broadway boutiques and I found myself falling in love with a couple of items at the Fancy Tiger Boutique.  And when I fall in love, I fall hard.  

Check out this necklace...isn't it amazing?!  Just when I thought I was going to leave the boutique empty-handed, I saw this glimmering on the counter.  The line is called Junk Heart Jewelry and the designer is based out of Boulder, Colorado.  I chose "Dear Heart" but they had other sayings too; or you could just opt for a blank banner.  This is a perfect necklace for layering and looks killer with my vintage locket.  

P.S. Will be posting my other Fancy Tiger Boutique item soon...and it's a goodie, so stay tuned!

Loving my new camo jacket from the army surplus shop up the street.  I saw so much camo in Iceland that I was completely inspired to visit my local shop when I got home.  Can't beat the price either...only $25 for this cutie and it's pretty warm too!

PRONE TO WANG/alexander wang cummerbund silk-crepe pants

There are two obsessions of mine that I would like to share, the first one being Alexander Wang and the second one being The Outnet.  And when the two combine pure magic takes place.  I am always waiting for the "Just In: Alexander Wang" emails to appear in my inbox and when they do, I have to strike!  Buying Alexander Wang can be quite competitive at times.  I'm surely not the only one that has Wang fever...in fact, I think it's pretty common and people refer to girls like me as "Wangettes."

Anyways...the Fall 2011 collection was recently added to The Outnet.  That was one of my favorite Wang collections to date.  Loved the streamers, metallics, fur and tuxedo-inspired detailing.  Need a refresher?  Click here.

SEQUIN THERAPY/d&g denim mini skirt

Today was a horrifying day.  In the midst of my Sunday cleaning, I found a dead black widow outside my back door.  I was totally panicked!  Even though it was dead, I was horrified by the fact that it was here at my house.

I tried to act normal for the rest of the day, but it was hard.  I am so afraid of spiders and I felt emotionally scarred from my encounter.  I decided the only way to cheer myself up was to wear some sequins.  Now what girl doesn't get a little giddy when wearing sequins???  There's just nothing like it; feeling a bit of glitz and glamour with just a little help from some synthetic, reflective discs.  I put on a vintage sequin top I bought years ago and I felt better immediately.  

The moral of the story?  Never underestimate the power of sequins in fashion...even if you do just wear them for a day of running errands.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL/t by alexander wang ruched jersey miniskirt

Trying to spend as much time as possible with my open-toed shoes before the weather turns cold.  I can't believe that summer is almost over!  I am not as excited about F/W shoes in general, but this year I am really wondering what to buy.  Yes, I love the F/W 2012 shoes from Celine, Prada, Miu Miu and Phillip Lim, but do I need them?  I am not fully inspired to transact yet.  I think it's just my Denver mentality coming out...I know that my shoes take a beating every winter and the idea of subjecting such beauties to such a brutal environment just breaks my heart.

Well I am back from Montreal and I can surely say that I missed my little blog.  I will be posting pics from the trip soon.  Remember how I like to take a week or so to digest a trip?  And Montreal is no exception....I saw so many amazing things and I look forward to sharing them soon.  

These pics were taken before I left.  Jerrmaner and I stumbled upon this amazing graffiti on Broadway in Denver.  Isn't it magnificent?!  Oh how I love great street art!  Wow, Denver...could it be true?  You are actually becoming a cool city?!

PRINTED UTOPIA/mother "a day in paradise" printed denim

I may be a little behind in showing the printed denim trend, but the pair that I really wanted sold out immediately and my name had to be added to a wait list .  Luckily, the wait list paid off and  I just received my lovely Mother "A Day in Paradise" printed denim.  Don't they kind of remind you of Tales from the Darkside?  Or Sound of Music?  Or Switzerland?  Interpret them as you will, but you cannot deny that these jeans are majorly swoon worthy. 

I think the trick with printed denim is not to coddle them and by that I mean that all denim should be treated equally.  Forget that there is a scene on your jeans and pair them with your favorite graphic tee or your favorite patterned sweater.  If you think too much about what to wear with these jeans, I think you will miss the mark.  And the last thing that you want is to end up looking too matchy-matchy.  Have fun with them...mix prints and remember, that there are no real rules in fashion.  

More of these jeans are available at Revolve Clothing.

STILL/7 for all man kind jean shorts

It took me far too long to make my way to the new Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, but I finally went this weekend. It was such a treat! The building that was designed by Brad Cloepfil and Allied Works Architecture is absolutely amazing and provides the most perfect surrounding for Still's work. Plus, the natural lighting within the gallery is an art in itself. I couldn't help but fantasize about living in this amazing building (yes, paintings included) and enjoying my morning cup of coffee on the enclosed terrace. What can I say? I'm a total dreamer.
