This bag originally retailed for over $800. I visited it all summer at Bloomingdale’s, waiting for the right sale. There was only one left and then someone bought it. However, it recently popped up again on their website! I know it’s a summer bag, but I decided to go for it. Blame the headbands: I can’t even remember the last time I bought a new bag (except for the black bow Chanel). I really love this Bulga bag. Get it while it’s still available!
$239.40.
After I saw a few pictures from backstage at the Stella McCartney Spring 09 fashion show, I couldn’t wait to see more from the label. This season, Stella did nudes & neutrals, light blue hues, and black & white. The result is modern and pretty. View a slideshow of the show here.

This sweater has actually been on sale for a while, but I really like it.

Sailboat print dress. I go to Cape Cod in the summer, and this reminds me of those vacations.
$995.
Mesh Shift Jersey Dress:

Chunky cotton cardigan. I saw a mannequin at H&M wearing something just like this with a huge white scarf, a skirt, matching blouse and blush-colored lace leggings. SO cute.

Cashmere wool caprina coat:
$859.
$595.

My favorite miniskirt from the spring 09 runway shows was this one at Stella McCartney, whose show was about 1/3 nudes & neutrals.

I love this skirt, but it isn’t exactly practical. Here are some of my favorite skirts for spring 09.
Brian Reyes cotton pouf skirt. This one looks most like the Stella skirt. Kind of obsessed.
$790.
$850.
Chloe Scallop Skirt. For a super-polished look, wear it with the matching jacket.
$1150.
$495.
Rory Beca Hendrix Layered Skirt:
$315.
$495.
Is it me, or can you hear the hallelujah chorus playing in the background when you look at this picture?
$995.
My work-at-a-fashion-magazine dream includes being able to walk to work in these:
$795.
These remind me of the shoes that mysteriously went missing on Sex and the City when Carrie visits her friends house for a party and is forced to take them off. And that woman would have gotten way more than a note from me if these were mine and happened to “disappear.”
$995.
A wear-them-anytime investment piece perfect for the current nude/neutral trend.
$575.
OMG. I also love the outfit that Net-A-Porter styled these with.
$825.
Very Rihanna.
$895.
The twill bow jacket. I could picture myself wearing this to work at a fashion magazine in London, especially since the color is called Fog :)
$1940.
Sleeveless ruffle blouse:
$1060.
Cashmere blend elongated sweater:
$1600.
Multi-tiered flapper dress. I think this works well for day or evening because it’s both conservative and flirty.
$1542.
Bow-front blouse. Again, you can get similar pieces anywhere, but it’s the original and impeccable tailoring that sets the label apart.
$840.
Collarless white coat. Jackie O meets Kate Moss. Plus the gold buttons are a great touch.
$1512.
Shortened wool trench: a classic piece with an updated modern shape. Click to view more detailed pictures – it’s hard to see since it’s all black.
$2185.
The odds of me owning a Fendi piece from the current season are zip. To be honest, I am probably more likely to be struck by lightning than to get a Fendi dress. However, one day, if the heavens decide to smile down on me, perhaps I will find a classic piece in my size in an outlet about four years after its release on the market. I’d be totally happy with that.
