new fave

#1 - I recently realized that I really want a pair of leather shorts or a leather skirt. I'm worried it's too late to find either any more. I feel like the skirt, though, would transition much more seamlessly into fall. (photo from StockholmStreetStyle)

#2 - Isabelle's blog, Style With Isabelle, which can be accessed through StockholmStreetStyle, is one of my new favorites. She almost always has similar style interests to me.

#3 - Isabelle's most recent outfit. I love this pattern and wish it came in skirt form.

Still wishing you'd been able to invest in the fabulous Miu Miu maryjanes from Spring 2010? Worry no more - check out Forever21, which now has their own version of the style. The flower pattern is much more Miu Miu reminiscent, but the black are bad-ass and basic. And the best part? They're under $26

crystal clear

From all-over encrusted to full-on transparent, clear is making a comeback - and, this time, in ways I am actually considering wearing. From the top - Calvin Klein available on yoox.com, photo from Carolines Mode, photo from Style with Isabelle
