Just a few of my bffs...

these girls make it look like blondes really do have more fun (or atleast more fun clothes). Each look is so simple, yet so spot-on! I'm loving these out-fits ...and wishing I had their closests...

Only Kate Moss could make simple black leather ankle boots and jacket

look soo good! @ dinner @ The Wolseley in London.

Jennifer Aniston looking chic (& working those crazy legs) in Valentino

...she was in town to launch her fragrance at Harrods.

Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney (one of my top 5 favorite designers)

at the London premiere of her new movie Knight and Day.

And, my vote for this week's best dressed, Gwyneth Paltrow

paired a Chanel jacket and Ray-Bans with a simple t-shirt & shorts

while on holiday in the Hamptons. i.want.that.jacket.

try for the lottery or rob a bank ...what's your vote?

Necklush, yes please

natural w/ magenta blue and purple - $42

Brought to you by two creatives in Brooklyn, Necklush is another result of the American Dream in action. The one-of-a-kind accessories are made of cotton fabrics sewn into tubular loops to create a more fun, easy, freeing version of your standard everyday scarf. LA Times Magazine calls Necklush "the ultimate hybrid accessory, one that will end your "scarf or necklace?" debate once and for all." TimeOut NY, Refinery29, Daily Candy, & even my girl Fifi Lapin (below) have also featured the scarves. Available in various colors, lengths, & thicknesses, the creations retail from $21-$155.

Bonus: they come in these sweet little packages:

be proud of who you are*

*on the end of my Yogi tea bag this morning

one more thing!

I can't go to bed without sharing these insane Chanel shoes with you that I tried on at a Vintage store in Notting Hill. The attention to detail was incredible & unfortunately this picture doesn't quite do these beauties justice ...what is it with the vintage Chanel in this town?! Most amazing of all, they fit like perfection!

And ofcourse, in A2A fashion, I found Jessie Western, a booth at Portabello Road (market I went to while in Notting Hill) with wonderfully crafted leather goods, cowboy (girl) boots, jewelry, and all things utterly & completely American...

...as much as I am falling head-over-heels for London, there was something so satisfying about finding this little piece of home right there in the middle of London's most famous neighborhood.
