oh man

I am so loving all the looks from Ulla Johnson's Fall collection.  If only I had a disposable income where I could spend and spend on cute boots and flirty dresses.  But, alas, we have a backyard to redo.  Priorities. A girl can dream...

Blog Crush

I can't understand a word of this blog, but great style clearly crosses the language barrier.  Style by Kling.

Today I love...

The Ruche Summer 2010 Look Book.  Makes me want to take a quick jaunt to the lake with a picnic lunch and a floaty raft.  Likey.

Check it out here.

Smallable

Now, those of you who know me know that I'm not really into kid stuff (or kids for that matter, but that's a whole other conversation, really).  HOWEVER, I came across this site on Sunday and the first thing that popped into my head was "Oh, wow!  If I had a kid, I would totally want to shop here!"  

I think that Smallable appeals to the kid in me more than wanting to have a kid to dress up and buy for, though.  I look at all their super stylish products and wish that I could find a bottle marked "Drink Me" and spend a pint sized day enjoying all the modern goodies that Smallable has to offer.

They also have a "Look Book" for kids with fabulous product styling and photography, and, as a designer, I can't ever resist a good look book.

Have you met Mrs. Lilien?

I randomly stumbled across Mrs. Lilien's blog a few weeks ago (via SF Girl By Bay) and couldn't be more delighted at this gem of a find!  Mrs. Lilien is a designer and stylist out of San Diego, California (holla!) and blogs about all things fabulous from frocks to footwear.  Every entry is a little treat.  The "Mrs." outfits and accessories are coordinated to perfection, but that's not the best part!  Mrs. Lilien writes a witty little poem to go along as the description of each post and for as many blogs as I skim everyday, I actually read Mrs. Lilen's entire post every time. (I know!)

A little bit about Mrs. Lilien from the Mrs. Lilien website:

"...a designer and stylist extraordanista, she's one in a million.  She applauds luxury and anything red letter.  She delights in the good life because it's just better!  She's daring, dashing, and somewhat dangerous.  She's fearless, flamboyant, and brilliantly boisterous."

Mrs. Lilien just launched her brand spankin' new website chock full of gorgeous eye candy.  If you're anything like me, you'll be coming back for daily hits of inspiration and lusting after Mrs. Lilien's daily picks and fabulous attention to detail.

Fall 2009 Look Book by Madewell

Even though it has been seasonably hot around here, every fall, I always can't help but to pine over all of the fall clothing. This fall, I fell particularly hard for the the looks in the Madewell Look Book. There really are no big coats or heavy scarves, so it's just "fall" enough for a little California girl like myself.
