Hey Foxy! Move over hedgehogs, could foxes be the new owls?!?!
Woodland creatures are definitely showing up everywhere this fall but it seems the fox may be the IT critter of furry friends this season.
American designer Tory Burch has fully embraced Mr. Fox as the sly little trickster dots everything from shoes to accessories to sweaters. Her velvet fox slippers had me at the grosgrain ribbon on the fox's ear 
...I couldn't wait to get my hands on these!

Tory isn't the only one sweet on foxes...

I love the touch of whimsy this character brings while at the same time a bit of preppy - even regal.
Nothing sums up this trending little critter better than this line from the film, The Fantastic Mr. Fox:
Mrs. Fox: You know, you really are...fantastic.
Mr. Fox: I try.
Yes, Mr. Fox, I feel you are quite fantastic too!
Cheers!
I am loving these cool wedding marketplaces popping up everywhere.
Here's my latest find - Fizz & Frills.
Super cute name aside...what an amazing event if you are anywhere near the Pasadena area and have some wedding shopping to-dos!?!
A place to shop from highly curated designers and artisans coupled with gourmet food tastings and fashions shows. Perfect.
This event is hosted by Utterly Engaged, an online magazine and produced by Lovely Jubilee, an event design & personal styling company - and the vendor list rocks!
{Need more of the deets. Click here}
If anyone is lucky enough to attend, I would love to hear what you think?!? I am thinking I may need to head to West to check it out...
Cheers!

I 
this sash. I think this would be adorable for a wedding party!
Lulu's Upcycling Lounge. The name alone has a cool vibe - and knowing Lulu personally, she and her upcycled products do not disappoint. I am a huge fan of her necktie clutches too!
She is a vendor at the upcoming Junk Bonanza and her products are showing up in boutiques around the country!
She is always coming up with new and different ways to fashion repurposed and upcycled materials so check out her site and Facebook page. Good stuff.
Cheers!
From the Boundary Waters of Minnesota to New York to Tokyo, I have seen people sporting Minnetonka moccasins - and I always feel closer to home!
I the limited edition colors for fall. Truly some of my faves!
Cheers!
Bravo. Lifetime. It doesn't matter to me. I can completely watch Project Runway for hours. Long live the weekend marathons!
Maybe it's because I'm secretly afraid of my sewing machine. Bobbins. Tension. Eek! Oh, I wish I could create what even the most unconventional contestants can create.
And now to see PR alums with their ridicoulously beautiful bridal collections, I wanted to share some of my favorites!

Leanne Marshall IS lovely. I have seen this dress in person at Flutter and I pick it up EVERY time and try to come up with a party I need to wear it to. I it.
Last time I was in NYC, all I wanted to do was wander aimlessly around Mood and meet Swatch, the store mascot. It was closed. Sigh.
Next time, I 'll MAKE IT WORK!
Cheers!

Unfor-Greta-bly Blue
A new color collection always brings this nail polish fanatic great joy! And I am really digging the OPI Germany collection.
Such a great mix of edginess and sophistication. A perfect transition from summer into early fall - and the perfect representation of "Europe's hottest new fashion metropolis." And how can you resist OPI's naming conventions??!?!
So Schnapps Out Of It! and get the season's hottest accessory (your nails!) prettied up.
Cheers!
One of my most favorite recent finds that I was lucky enough to stumble across in all my digging for the latest and greatest hidden treasures...Jeanne Oliver Designs.

Her shop offers thoughtful and unique pieces that seem to tell stories and warm your heart. Whether it be a piece of jewelry, dress, art - or a handbag like the Emerson I just purchased!
Check it out her shop, lookbook and blog...she is also on Etsy. A Vintage Collection well done.
Cheers!
I my Converse All-Stars. And I love that you can now customize them even more! Adds instant personality to the bride & groom - or the entire wedding party.
Cheers!
I was in Chicago over the weekend...one THE best cities...and fell in with this amazing retail shop on Michigan Avenue.
A British High Street retailer rooted in vintage + fashion-forward. Where glamour meets grunge in the most beautiful way.
The dresses and skirts were literally breathtaking...
Definitely some super cool options for less traditional bridesmaid or even bride's reception dresses...

I left with an amazing pair of boots and a handful of things on my wish list! (There is a dress that I just may need to order for an upcoming rehearsal dinner...)
A worthy stop online and an absolutely must-see in person. Stunning.
Cheers!
Who isn't a little bit ga-ga for chevron?!? I love how it instantly adds a clean, chic, timeless element of design to any party, home or wardrobe!
This could easily be my longest post yet as I almost everything chevron that I have come across. However, I think I'll just share some of my faves...and more faves...

I am a bit obsessed with these hair ties (along with everyone else including Jennifer Aniston, Demi Lovato and Jessica Simpson)
The color palette and patterns work with any color crush or wedding party. And I adore how they not only look good layered but also on my wrist with the rest of my arm candy.
I originally was a fan of the basic hair tie but i {HEART} how they have embellished them with crystal.
...and their multi-strand headbands are gorgeous.

I do have to admit they are also the Perfect DIY hair tie if you are the DIY'n kind. I was actually able to make the basic ones easy-peasy as I loved to be able to pick my own colors and patterns. A tutorial is not even really necessary but here is a good one if needed.
The key is finding the elastic and embellishments. I suggest trying Elastic by the Yard and ArtBeads.com as they have worked well for me!
Cheers!
Get Ready...Everyone will be seeing dots!
Louis Vuitton released its collaboration with the legendary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. WOW. Kusama is known for her avant-garde fashion and signature polka-dot style.
Simple combos and intuitive contrasts make this a sure-fire recipe for success - even for the most conservative.
The collection is called "Infinity Kusama" and features bangles, silk pajamas, handbags, scarves, dresses and shoes.
See the entire collection here.
For those of us who can't afford a piece of this where fashion meets art, Louis Vuitton will debut an iPad app where users can take photos and turn them into a Yayoi Kusama motif.
How cute to add a touch of polka dot in your wedding....balloons. bow tie. sash.cake. clutch or even your photo booth back drop? Irresistible fun & happy!
Cheers!
With a cooler, color block sister to the "couldn't keep them stock" Tippi heart sweater popular this spring, I had to swoop in a get one faster than fast!
How cute would this be in pictures - or a fun gift for your bridal party??! Show the and wear your heart front and center (not just your sleeve!)
I am Olympics junkie. Hands down. I stay up way too late watching trials, qualifying heats, medal ceremonies and back stories on athletes.
I love the anticipation of the Opening Ceremonies and wondering who will be holding the American flag? how will the torch be lit? and most importantly...what will Team USA be wearing?!?!
Not being good at surprises, I had to at least do a little sneak peek and see who is designing for the athletes...and a few are my all-times faves!
Team USA {Ralph Lauren}
Mr. Lauren exudes Americana and is undoubtedly a perfect choice - classic, a bit preppy with a bit of a sporty edge. L.O.V.E.
Team Great Britain {Stella McCartney + Adidas}
I love the contemporary and modern feel to the Union Jack flag. Sporty Spice would thinks this represents. Brill!
Team Italy {Giorgio Armani}
Armani is hoping to have won gold with his designs as he included the words to the national anthem of Italy on the inside of the opening ceremony jacket. Figgata!
Team Jamaica {Cedalla Marley + Puma}
Not only may Team Jamaica have the world's fastest man in Usain Bolt, the designs of Cedalla Marely, daughter of Bob Marley, may prove the most interesting. The meshing of the Jamaican flag and likeness of the jungle canopy found on their island proves fashion forward and sporty.
Team Canada {The Hudson Bay Company}
With a team of designers at The Hudson Bay Company including Chantel Burton, the Canadian uniforms are quietly confident and represent the great outdoors and summer north of the border.
Team Australia {Sportscraft + Volley}
Australian athletes actually collaborated with the designers at Sportscraft and Volley on the classic yet modern uniforms in the retro green and gold. The shoes by Volley are all the rage and getting a major thumbs up from the Aussies.
The influence of fashion on the 2012 London Olympics is amazing. Opening Ceremonies uniforms were even unveiled this year at some of the Mercede Benz Fashion Weeks all around the world?!!?
With this many people center stage from all over the world, you can't find a better place for inspiration on many levels - hard work, patriotism, dreams, drama, entertainment, flags and personality. Set your DVRs if you have to because you really won't want to miss this!
