Yes, I decided to do a Valentine’s post.  Maybe you’ll thank me later?

Wow.  I would say that Karl has outdone himself, but I feel that hairstylist Katsuya Kamo deserves the glory here.  According to Women’s Wear Daily, he and his assistants used only two packets of 11 x 17 paper to create the beautiful headpieces worn in the Spring couture show.  They are amazing, as is the collection itself.  The paper headpieces lent themselves perfectly to this black and white show, reflecting “the new modesty” that Chanel is adopting… for now anyway.

These are from Target… isn’t that kind of crazy?  I found them yesterday while shopping around for other stuff and really like them even though they’re obviously not for everyday.  They’re vegan too!  I also liked these, and if you’re looking for some cheap vegan gladiator sandals, they have a ton.

This line is perfectly simple.  I love it. Some styles are in both the men’s and women’s sections, which is great.

For guys and gals alike this is a lovely messenger bag.  It will hurt the ol’ pocket book though.

I love this shop, and can’t believe I’ve never posted it before.  I’m especially loving this stacking stud ring which is just adorable, and these necklaces which are super bad-ass.

Just some things I like…

I found this slim bow tie and this lovely sweater. The sweater is loosely crocheted mohair alternating with crocheted satin, with the satin crochet comprising the neckline and border as well.  It reminds me of a more traditional version of what Rodarte has been doing lately- very delicate and feminine.
