put together: simple tribal mixture

how fabulous does tory burch look while globe-trotting on her southeast asian vacation?  while tribal prints are fairly easy to find these days...i am loving the mixture of patterns & colors...why wear boring khaki shorts & a tee...when you can be fashion forward & chic...

pulling strings...

you would think with my vast collection of handbags...that i would already have one...maybe two of these drawstring handbags...but alas...i don't...and lately...i'm really loving all the ones that are currently out...

i saw this nice collection in the june issue of allure...the one on the bottom left is seriously calling out my name...the bally...what would make it pretty much perfect would be if that blue...was green...les sigh...so i will keep searching...ok...the tory burch in the top right is kind of calling out to me as well...decisions...decisions...

do you have a favorite?

great inspiration from an editor's note...

for those of you that haven't seen the september 2010 issue of town and country...i wanted to share the opening remarks from stephen drucker, the editor in chief...

"the talk of the office this month has been...what does wearable mean to the t&c woman? do you want us to decide what is "appropriate" for a theoretical you? or do you want to see all the fashion possibilities this season and decide for yourself? we've debated the subject every which way...and i'm clear about it...i can't imagine limiting any woman's vision of herself thse days...no matter her age...no matter where or how she lives...so you're going to feel something stirring in these pages...the heels are a little higher...the dresses a little sexier...the accessories a little stronger...we've brought you the best of the best...certain that you'll know how to make it work for you...depending on where you live...how you live...and your own indefinable electrical charge...our cover says it all: color, comfort, a modern life and highly personal style point of view...but as strong as the clothes are...you still see the woman first...don't you just love tory burch?"

well said stephen drucker!! that is truly what it is all about...not "copying" exactly what you see on someone...or in a magazine...but taking inspiration from that...and making it your own style...and most importantly...don't let the clothes wear you...YOU wear the clothes...

top shoes trends of spring 2010...

my favorite fashion subject...shoes...the nice thing about this spring 2010 season is that there really is something for everyone...from lovely flats to the highest of heels...so let's get started...

flats continue to be ever present this season...and so many choices to choose from...look for printed fabrics, bright colors, zippered detail or embellishments to spruce up the look...tory burch "reva" straw flat

oxfords...known as the street smart shoe have always been around...but they are back now with interesting details...you can find them with heels or flats...brogue or plain...uselton by aldo

clogs are back! all it took was for good ole karl lagerfeld to show them in the chanel spring 2010 line...and they have resurfaced...

wedges are definately a great look to pair with your sundresses & shorts...the thicker heel is much more comfortable but still gives you height...

platforms are still standing strong (yes...my heart is leaping) and you can find them in an array of beautiful colors...yves saint laurent tribtoo platform slingbacks

peep toe booties...yes...for spring...these are everywhere...in so many adorable styles...giuseppe zanotti e00339

a few others that deserve honorable mention are nude pumps and sandals...for sandals...think gladiator, heavier feel, embellishments...and color...

so which styles are you looking forward to wearing?
