kid love

I am, by no stretch of the imagination, a kid-lover. In fact, I spend a large part of my time being annoyed with whiny, hyper-active children (and their parents). That's why I can't believe I'm writing this post. But how cute is this little girl? And let's not forget fashion-savvy (before you say it, before you even think it, I know someone picked out her clothes).

I feel compelled to add that, yes I think this

little girl is totally adorable - choice of wardrobe

and all - but Zara kids usually give me the creeps.

There like miniature adults and it's just

weird to see a 5 or 6-year-old wearing 

what should strictly be adult attire. 

some girls

Some girls are just inherently and effortlessly cool.

Only $1,550 at Holt Renfrew. Yeah, I'm on my way to get a pair right now.

I must admit that I'm surprised at my choice footwear for fall. I didn't think I was a lace-up booties kind of girl. Actually, I think that's exactly why I like these.

{I realize that these aren't booties, but I like them and they were on the same website, so I included them. I like the victorian feel of them}

brogues obsessed

Most of my friends and family disapprove of this new-found fancy of mine. But the heart wants what it wants - regardless of how vehemently my Robert despises them.

CRAZY over...

Nautical bags.

I realize this is reminiscent of this post, but the this nautical look is still on my list - probably will be for a while.

choosing a bag is like choosing a mate

And I cannot emphasize what a perfect match me and this bag make.

It's got everything I want for that fun summer fling: the stripes, the material, the two short straps and a long one (for when you can't feel your arm anymore), the price - which doesn't force you into any kind of serious commitment...just everything!

I really, really want it.
