Slowing Down Monday

You may have noticed the postings have been lacking of late. It's hard to say why but I just haven't been feeling a strong desire to post. I'm not sure what I'm going to do- either keep posting here and there or maybe start a new blog, but stay tuned... I will update here on Look Book once I decide.

In the meantime I'll leave you with a post on my most popular subject- Lingerie Monday (a tad early). This is the aptly named Kate corset from Agent Provocateur.

Enjoy the sun and Happy Shopping!

The Outnet

Check it out... It seems to be a counterpart to Net-A-Porter.com

TheOutnet.com - an outlet for designer fashion. Oh no.

Update: All I seem to be able to do is sign-up. Hopefully, I'll get emails? I'll be back when I know more.

More Updates: Yep, I received an email. It said more news soon... Stay Tuned.

Gorgeous!

Love. Love. Love. Audrey Tatou in... Chanel, claro.

J. Crew Comes Through

Again.

I was on the hunt for white cropped jeans but was having a hard time paying $180-220 given their short lifespan. Memorial Day to Labor Day, once a year. I checked out Madewell but their cropped version had a zipper and frankly, it was really annoying. We decided to duck into J Crew and low and behold, there they were- white denim Matchstick Cropped at $85. They fit great and I didn't fee guilty buying them for 3 months of wear.

Full Disclosure: I already own a costly pair of white denim, full length, boot cut jeans which I love but realized after last summer didn't get as much wear as my other costly denim. Oh well. It's important to learn from our mistakes... Yes?

Plus, in purchasing the J Crew jeans, I've now "saved" money for something else... like these.

Simone Satchel

Also while in Urban Outfitters, I spied this very cute, very well made bag by Sabina. It is leather and runs you about $250, which for Urban Outfitters is a lot. The fact that it cost a reasonable amount made me feel good about the quality but it won't break the bank. Lots of zippers and pockets and in a bright color- all very "in."

Note: I also saw this bag in black at the store, but that is not featured online.

Oscar de la Renta Outlet

I've spoken before about how I was amazed Oscar de la Renta sold his high-end fashion online. I was on the site yesterday looking for a t-shirt I saw in Harper's Bazaar and get this... there is an OUTLET on the site as well!

Go now, look. www.oscardelarenta.com

Valentino: The Last Emperor

After hearing rave reviews about this documentary on a shoot a couple weeks ago, I went to see it yesterday. It was soooo good. Do not miss the beginning. It was really a beautiful love story and an inside look into one of the most romantic haute couture fashion houses.
