Every year, as soon as the weather starts turning warm, the first thing on my wish list is new sunglasses. Some girls love shoes, some love bags...me? I LOVE sunglasses. Besides adding some instant glamor to any outfit, they are the most functional of all accessories (i.e. my eye doctor highly recommends them). Which is why I don't mind investing a little extra for the perfect pair. Give me a dress and some sunnies and I am good-to-go. Who needs shoes, anyway?

After scoping a photo of Jessica Biel wearing DvF's cat-eye sunglasses, I am on the search for a pair of my own.

fashion week from afar

The great thing about social media blowing up is instant gratification - news spreads like wildfire. But, being a lover of fashion, it hurts a bit to sit idly watching tweets come through minute-by-minute from the bloggers, press, and other fashion week-goers oohing and aahing at the fabulous new looks as they come strutting down the runway during each show. Someday I hope to enter the impenetrable tents, but until then I must admire from afar!

Fall 2010 fashion week was a dream to me - ask any of my closest friends and they will tell you my closet is very, um, neutral. I love textures and will throw a bright top or dress in here or there, but most (90%) of my clothes are black, white, or somewhere in between. Fashion week was like my closet, amplified to the millionth degree! Nudes, blacks, whites, grays, and the most gorgeous texture everywhere you turn.

It was hard to choose favorites, but if I must...
