shush girl, shush your lips...

...do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips. Excellent song and perfect transition in to my obsession of the moment: zipper detailing.
It adds the perfect touch of edge to a headband. I love the rosettes. It's still sweet and traditional, but the metal gives it a little bite. Even though I love black, the coral color is a nice break from the dark and heavy.

Anyone who knows me knows that I simply LOVE a good ballet flat. Simple and elegant, I can't get enough of them. So when I happened upon some cute zipped up ones, I couldn't resist. Too cute to be tough, too tough to be cute.

Finally, this BCBG dress. I saw it today at Saks but didn't get a chance to try it on. I'm a big one shoulder fan, but the super subtle zipper piping made me fall in love. It's so understated but that attention to detail is what makes it so great. So shush girl, zip your lips, unzip your wallets and pick up a bitingly cute zip-zapped piece. Or two.

Step 1.5: go green, get green

I haven't even shipped in my electronics (see post below if you're confused) but I've already started envisioing what I could buy with that check. Go green, get some green...I'm a fan. My potential purchases are as followed. First are these stunning Kate Spade earrings. My friends got me a pair in an orangey-red color as part of my birthday gift and I'm obessed with them. I want another pair or two or five right now. Perfect touch of bling for any basic outfit. They're pretty big in diameter. It takes a bigger ear to pull them off, but they are beautiful nonetheless. My friends know me so well. What a fabulous gift (hint hint!). Next...ok I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for anything by Marc Jacobs. I don't know why there isn't a store in Denver. I'd work there in a heartbeat. If he weren't gay, I'd marry him. The new Pretty Nylon line is incredible. My mom got me a large hobo bag (to be featured in a later post; I'm a bag whore) and it's amazing. Super durable, super cute and goes just about anywhere. Now enter this pretty little pouch. I just want to own it to hold all my useless junk that I carry around with me at all times. Something men will never understand, the need for a large purse. I'll have to write about that soon, shed a little light on the maxi-bag trend. Last but not least, this pretty little headband from Jcrew. JCrew always has the sweetest accessories. Maybe it's the upper eastside snob within me, but I love headbands. Classy. Oddly enough though, I have an mishapen head or so it seems because very few headbands lay flat against my hair. Awesome. I've created a few clever ways to disguise this though. If I weren't so awful at doing hair I'd conisder posting about it. Maybe I still will. And as I learned from Blair Waldorf, the bow always goes on the right. Good to know. But all that aside...I guess recycling can really pay off!
