"Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual." -Alexander McQueen

I am a major sucker for McQueen costume jewelry, so for me, this burgundy and gold bracelet was too perfect to pass up. You can purchase this bracelet from the following places:

Net-A-Porter | Bergdorf Goodman | Matches | Neiman Marcus | Farfetch | Forward by Elyse Walker | Saks

Sporadic Snapshots: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope your Halloween was fun, safe, and full of delicious candy and delightful costumes! To all those affected by Hurricane Sandy, you are in my thoughts and I hope you, your friends, and your families are safe. Many people had their entire homes and businesses destroyed, while others experienced flooding, power outages, and damage to personal property. We luckily only lost power for a few hours. If you live in New York, there are plenty of opportunities for volunteering and helping out, or you can just donate clothes, food, or money to numerous Hurricane Sandy relief charities.
This post is going to be a collection of recent photos, mostly instagrammed, that I have yet to post on Blogger. :)

"I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes - it's about all kinds of change." -Karl Lagerfeld

Yves Saint Laurent is unfortunately going to be discontinuing one of my favorites - the Arty ring. I took advantage of Saks's Friends & Family sale to order my fourth and final Arty. I'm sorely disappointed that they won't be making them anymore! :(

"I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work." -Karl Lagerfeld

As I put together this post, I can't help but steal glances at my new Acne boots. They are propped up in front of me atop their box, untouched and unworn, waiting to be taken around the streets of New York. They've yet to click-clack down the gritty cement sidewalks; they've yet to wobble around the cobblestone roads of SoHo. I can't wait to break in the supple leather and make these my own.

Currently Coveting: My Fall Shopping List

My fall/winter shopping list has been in the works for quite some time. I mostly want to purchase accessories, bags, and shoes. Go behind the cut to see my wishlist! :)

"You have to experiment and try many different ways of wearing a scarf before you find the way that suits you best." -Christian Dior

Scarves are fantastic accessories. They can transform an entire look. My favorite brands for scarves are Burberry, Missoni, and Alexander McQueen. These can be quite expensive, however, so it's always good to find them for less! Only one of my Burberry scarves was purchased for full price. The rest I found at thrift stores! I recently found two new Burberry scarves while thrifting, which you will see in this post, along with a Missoni scarf I bought quite some time ago but never posted. I also got a super cute Juicy cardigan I want to share with you. :)

"I think you can have it all. You just have to know it's going to work." -Tory Burch

Lately, I've been obsessed with boots. I looked through tons of boots and booties online after I purchased my Rag & Bone Wessex boots, and I decided on my fall/winter boot shopping list. I will share those with you later in a long overdue Currently Coveting post. ;) I've had Tory Burch riding boots on my wish list for quite some time, and I finally bought them during the Labor Day sale.
