you had me at hello: meow or miu miu?

when i first laid eyes on these beauties...my first thought was meow...and then saw that they were miu miu...one of my favorites...to say they had me at hello...would be an understatement...they would so work in nicely with my wardrobe...now and transitioning into fall...and then fall into winter...

although i have already been drooling over what is coming for fall...i try to keep most of it to myself for now...as i know most of my readers are wanting info on the here and now...not what is coming months from now...but may i just say...fall is going to be quite a treat this year...lots of beautiful color...textures...but...enough already...

aren't we still soaking up summer rays?

stylish afternoon tea...

one of my most favorite things to do...is having afternoon tea at some swanky hotel or restaurant...of course...being in the middle of summer...that is not an activity that takes place often...

so i was having lunch with of my dearest friends...and she was telling me how her niece had high tea at a place in london...which already sounds so fabulous to me...by the way...

but no...this is not your ordinary high tea...the berkeley london hotel serves their mouth-watering prêt-à-portea delicacies with a fashionista twist...all inspired by themes and colors of the fashion world...be still my beating heart...

The new Spring / Summer 2011 collection sees Victoria Beckham, Miu Miu and Tom Ford make their debut on the Berkeley’s tea stand as Prêt-à-Portea echos the season’s trends of vibrant yellow and orange, block colours, oversized flowers and white summer chic...

now i feel i must plan a trip to london...if not just for the high tea...
