Sale Season Has Been Kind

I love sale season. There's a thrill when you scoop up something you've been eying for months—on sale and still in your size! Here's what I managed  to score this time around:

1. Alexander Wang Stella Sandal 2. Proenza Schouler Skirt 3. Rag & Bone Jeans 4. Alexander Wang Uneven Hem Skirt 5. Proenza Schouler Sandals

Pining for Something I Can't Have

There are many things that you can find in every city you go to, no matter what part of the world you're in. But there are things that still remain exclusive to certain countries—at least for now. Unfortunately, one of those things is COS, a high street brand created by the genius' behind H&M. I've only recently discovered COS, but every time I see new looks from them, it's torture because I can't purchase them. I love the clean lines and modern edge which is all topped off by the fact that the line is delightfully affordable. Currently, they only ship to select countries in Europe, but I'm hoping and praying they'll start catering to the US market. Until then, I'll just have to satisfy my cravings with pictures...unless someone abroad wants to mail stuff to me...anyone?

First Chill

There's a chill in the air and all I want to do is buy every cozy sweater in sight. From a classic cable-knit to the more embellished and flashy, fall is here and it's time to start layering! Here are a few of the sweaters that I'm craving that are also seriously out of my budget. Hey, a girl can dream right? In the meantime, I'll be hitting Zara and Topshop for my fix.

Fashion Faves: Dion Lee

I first caught sight of Aussie designer Dion Lee via Style Bubble. Then I spotted one of my fave editors Christine Centenera wearing on of his looks, fresh off the runway (of course). Now, I'm obsessed and can't stop looking at his most recent collection.

With its origami shapes, architectural construction and unique silhouettes, it was a truly solid collection. I'm already mentally constructing outfits around the pieces even if I have no idea how I'd get my hands on them. I'm really impressed with the level of talent that comes out of Australia and would love to make a trip there to check it all out in person. Till then, eye candy it is.

Fashion Faves: Simone Rocha

Seriously digging John Rocha's talented daughter Simone Rocha's designs. She's got a talent for mixing materials and fabrics in unexpected and modern ways that I can't get enough of. Shows fashion really does run in the blood! Did I mention I'd also kill for a pair of her shoes? Just sayin'.
