simple wins again!

here’s the thing: i like simple for my every day wear.  when it comes down to it, i’m realizing there’s not much i like more than a great blouse and some jeans that make me feel like a zillion bucks {well, coupled with pretty accessories and a handbag i covet).  jeans: marc jacobs via shopbop, blouse: parker via shopbop, bag: chloe via net-a-porter, belt: club monaco via shopbop, shoes: dolce vita, necklace: vintage, watch: marc jacobs, bracelets: stella and dot, trina turk earrings: maya brenner *ps- when i say handbag i covet, i mean that i have had my eye on that bag for over two years, squirreling away my pennies to buy it. i consider it an investment piece, i know i’ll have/use it until someone pries it from my dead body. **photos by lou

    Great jeans! It seems I am always in skinnies these days, but a good flare is so lovely, need to break my habit. Love the green, too, it's one of my favorite shades du jour.

    Hi Sarah – don't mean to be a rude – but how do you considered the bag an investment piece ? A lot of women say that about an accessory like said bag – and I just don't get it. When I think of investment I think of squirreling away pennies and then investing it in something that would give me a high return 🙂 Of course the pleasure could be considered a high return too :)) I just never got the term 'investment' piece. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

    thank you thank you all!
    SHB, not rude at all! i get what you're saying.
    i don't think of this as an investment that will make me money, i think of it as one that will save me money! i would rather save up my pennies for one amazing bag that will last me a lifetime than buy a few bags every year that will get worn out and fall apart. so i think over time i'll save money on having fewer high quality items than more throw-away pieces, and this bag is a perfect example of that. hope that answers your question! 🙂

    You look classic and gorgeous! Beautiful photos… I just love a fabulous clean-lined jean with a blouse. It really is so simple but it works so well. And the bag is beyond perfect. I am right there with you on saving your pennies for something that is truly timeless and versatile that will really never go out of style.

    about and that is using more shutoff valves.
    Lots of people are now looking at their plumbing system and how they can update it so it

    With an airbrush spray tan, lotions, moisturizers, wipes, gels, and the like,
    you can benefit from a bronzed look without exposing yourself to dangerous diseases.
    The Step By Step Tanning Training Manual was designed so as to teach you methods to get your very own spray airbrush tanning company on track and to
    teach you ways to apply a spray tan just like
    the professionals. A good tan always draws attention and smiling approvals.
    There are though, a few potential side effects that can easily be handled to achieve that
    sun-kissed glow that will follow you around continuously, or at least until
    your dead skin cells slough off. Tired of all those ugly acne marks staring out, every time you look in the mirror.

    Fake tan is made to fade over time with regular showers so why speed up the
    process with a whole ton of showers. Be sure to exfoliate
    before applying the formula in order to prolong your tan. President Obama’s campaign, however,
    has never been in debt.

    And if you want to lose weight by exercising, then you must establish a program and not everyone can do this.
    Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables –
    these are full of vitamins. These slim patches are used to reduce hunger pangs.

    Consumers today do not take claims made by companies
    at face value any longer like they could have
    done possibly 15 or 20 years ago. Straighteners, curling irons,
    and dryers can be harsh on your head. Maybe you don’t quite like
    the figure that you see in the mirror when you try on your bathing suit
    that you bought a few years ago. The necessary amount
    of insulin injections someone will need is likely to depend
    upon their other health issues, their weight and what sort of
    lifestyle choices you make. Give up on foods with “hidden fat” like cheese, melted cheese, margarine etc.

    A cream cleanser will help lock in the skin healthy oils on your
    face, and will also leave your face moisturized and glowing.
    Chrome – Mate is also an important ingredient because it helps greatly with the production of proper insulin in the body
    along with maintaining healthy amounts of blood sugar and cholesterol
    levels.

    First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!

    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.

    I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.

    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally
    lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
    Appreciate it!

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?

    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
