J. Mendel S/S 2012
Posted By natalie | 1 Comment
Geometrical, clean, sleek, modern dresses with color blocking, combining jewel & muted tones, and patterns. I had to double check to make sure I was watching the right show.
Although the end of the show brought through the staple gowns we will surely see on the red carpet, the majority of the J. Mendel’s S/S 2012 line was quite different than lines past, but with the commonality of airy fabric and perfectly balanced to create a sophisticated sexy silhouette. Normally I dream of having one of his pieces for a fancy event I’ll never attend, but with this line, there are several pieces I can see wearing in many realistic situations. This is dangerous.

Fashion Week Outfit

What I would wear to attend a day of shows during fashion week. Of course, since this is a day dream, I am a fashion editor with access to lots of amazing clothing… obviously. I have the lipstick and the nailpolish, 2 down, 6 to go! What would you wear?
top, lipstick (carthage), bracelet, shoes, nailpolish, watch, pants, sunglasses?

It never fails that my favorite ends up being the most expensive. .. even though they are half as much as the highly unattainable Isabel Marant Dicker boots.
Five Senses For Friday
Posted By natalie | 6 Comments
Yay short week! I love me a four day work week. Tonight I’m heading to the Detroit Tiger’s game with some co-workers and have friends in town for the U of M football game. Don’t I sound super sporty? I like going to baseball games… but watching a college football game on t.v., well, I do it for the snacks. Meatballs, mac ‘n cheese, and beer, OH MY. Have a great weekend!
Sight: My bestest friend Lindsey, half of the amazing photography duo Lovella, launched their new site! Hurray for Lovella! Do you spy some wedding shots of yours truly?
Smell: Inspired by Joanna’s houseplant post, I finally ordered some air plants from this shop.
Sound: Really excited for St. Vincent’s new album, Strange Mercy, to come out. But you don’t have to wait to listen to the full album!
Taste: Finally made my own taco season. Adios you gross packets! Just mix together the following spices: 1 tbps chili powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper. And if you like it real spicy, add a little dash of cayenne.
Touch: The obsession with cute little post earrings continues.
photo: Lovella - my bouquet! (full wedding post coming soon!)
Wait, I’m Not Ready

The past two days have been cold and rainy. It’s Michigan, I’m hardly surprised by weather of any kind – at any time. But now that the weather is quickly slipping into Autumn, although it’s my favorite season, I find myself wanting to scream “HALT!” I’m not ready. Did summer even happen? I didn’t swim, bbq, camp, or picnic nearly enough to move on already.
Today I tried blaming Starbucks for the weather. Yes, Starbucks. I accused their stupid (yet delicious) pumpkin spice latte of bringing the cold with it. Don’t even act like they aren’t capable of such a thing.
So I have decided I am grabbing this beast called Weather by the horns. Camping doesn’t need sunshine and swimming, just bonfires and hoodies. Watch out REI, I’m coming…

Oui, s’il vous plaît! My friend Alissa sent me this article about Jérôme Dreyfuss and Isabel Marant’s petite rustic retreat, obviously because she likes to torture me. This is so perfect I can’t even stand it. It needs to be replicated in Northern Michigan and owned by moi.

These videos definitely make me wish I would have studied abroad in a great city. What an amazing experience! Did you travel abroad when you were young? (p.s. how amazing is the typography?)
