<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Sorry for taking a break from the blog - I made the decision to keep myself away from the internet for Memorial Day weekend. Has anyone purchased anything from Net-a-Porter's annual sale? I ordered a cropped Phillip Lim sweater I've been eyeing for quite some time. Today, I am wearing a 3/4 inch sleeve striped dress that falls at the knee. I already know that it will be difficult for me not to wear it every day, because it fits perfectly, the material breathes, and it looks so easy and chic. The more I grow in age, the more I realize the true benefits of the adage 'less is more' - Having less things and instead, accumulating things that are of the best quality and representative of your style, really makes for a better quality of life.<br />
<br />
PS. I love the look Hanneli debuted on her blog today. I do urge you to <a href="http://www.hanneli.com/">check it out</a>.</span></td></tr>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I loved Kirsten Dunst's gown as much as Milla's shown here. However, I feel Milla's hair and make up lifted the Prada dress, whereas Kirsten's beauty-look did the opposite for her Chanel couture gown. So I'll have to give my kudos to Milla Jovovich.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div>Mariannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18143066886600940016noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948990698229700130.post-20411339899085889572011-05-23T14:59:00.000-04:002011-05-23T14:59:20.415-04:00: )<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD5gT_Fb6zVA8pzf-N0NdJd-OhxPyrOtcOmColA9sJdbg5cbkrtOLod_xsZhCGyjKD7Pc3WRGHScXcL6FN3b0NxeD7pizeACwT4mmKvf7Dh5t-B-VMhjphg7Qe841uBsQcZ7Y6-VCc0QE/s1600/photo-2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD5gT_Fb6zVA8pzf-N0NdJd-OhxPyrOtcOmColA9sJdbg5cbkrtOLod_xsZhCGyjKD7Pc3WRGHScXcL6FN3b0NxeD7pizeACwT4mmKvf7Dh5t-B-VMhjphg7Qe841uBsQcZ7Y6-VCc0QE/s640/photo-2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Mariannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18143066886600940016noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948990698229700130.post-92073946921269128762011-05-19T16:25:00.000-04:002011-05-19T16:25:57.964-04:00The No-nonsense Wedge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUVxS3Qll0Zs_ZcckvXqA5v6c4a3wn7WxzW24Rh9CbjaQn_Fls2ezB8p1hJ4Dli0evOLdyK10SkbXipLnJzUF8R5Bxl_NOnBDAZGjrERRz6tEiZ4_byvN0DkeN7tmCUo3_jz2iueC0VPE/s1600/photo-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUVxS3Qll0Zs_ZcckvXqA5v6c4a3wn7WxzW24Rh9CbjaQn_Fls2ezB8p1hJ4Dli0evOLdyK10SkbXipLnJzUF8R5Bxl_NOnBDAZGjrERRz6tEiZ4_byvN0DkeN7tmCUo3_jz2iueC0VPE/s640/photo-3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">Even though I assured myself that I wasn't going to buy a pair of new wedges this summer, I succumbed. My mind got carried away thinking about all the upcoming hot and sticky days where I'd end up cursing at the sky for not buying a comfortable shoe to walk around the city, that would also work on weekends outside the city - a no fuss shoe. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I experienced difficulty finding a pair of wedges that fit my personal style for the low budget price I was after. Have you noticed that so many shoes these days are too ornate? I need my ornate shoes and then I need my basic shoes. Major shoe chains tend to think that if they add a buckle, a flower, or a cut-out here or there or everywhere, that will give the shoe high-fashion appeal. But it doesn't look good at all. When I want high fashion I buy high fashion. When I need a basic shoe, I don't want a sorry attempt at a designer's creation - no knock-offs! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">I found the best quality I could for under 200 dollars without all those heinous bells and whistles. They are simple and made in Italy. Now I just hope they fit.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I love the idea of layering different textures during the summer when you are working with an all-light or neutral ensemble. What's essential to my summer doesn't necessarily speak to yours. Aside from the occasional trip to the Hamptons and upstate New York, I will be experiencing an urban summer (pavement, museums, restaurants, offices.. you get the idea). I need to work on this list over the weekend. What do you think of my last minute must-haves?</span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I stopped by Saks yesterday afternoon and this Diane von Furstenberg dress was calling to me. I love green and white together. I wasn't as sure about the print, but after I finished wrapping the dress around me, I felt amazing. Such a simple throw-on piece for any event anywhere in the city during summer months. I plan on having a tailor attach a small fascinator at the top of the dress near the decolletage, which will allow me to control the plunging neckline. I can hook up for work and undo the hook as soon as I'm ready to leave the office. I would even play this dress down with neutral boots on the weekend.</span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I am so into anything that keeps me dry. We get terrible cold wind and rain in NYC. And NOTHING is worse than feeling like a wet dog in your outfit with a matching damp head of hair. I had never heard of Sensi Studio before, but when I read the details regarding their hats, I knew I had to buy at least one. 100% felted wool, water repellent, and made in Ecuador by designer Stephany Sensi. Can I repeat - water repellent. I pre-ordered one of these earlier today. Can you guess which one? Will suit me perfect in the fall. </span></td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I'm <i>not</i> a DIY kind of girl at<i> all</i>. But when you can't find something specific, you need to take matters into your own hands. I've been looking for the right structured sleeveless vest ev-ery-where. No luck. I've had this hanging in my room since my mother gifted it to me from her vintage side of the closet. My grandfather was in the knitting business and my mother designed lingerie before she had me, so I think I can muster up some sort of seamstress skill. I plan on removing the shoulder pads and then cutting off the sleeves. It really is the perfect summer outwear apparel. I can cinch it with a neon Burberry belt or even a Hermes clasp.</span></td></tr>
