I normally don’t enjoy wearing heels a whole bunch since they aren’t the most comfortable of footwear, but I do make an exception when I brake out the boyfriend jeans. I think the two go hand in hand and complement each other quite well. Nothing says comfortable and polished like a little distressed boyfriend denim and some pumps.

Today is bittersweet, as I have said goodbye to my beautiful, blush 3.1 Phillip Lim bag today. I have sold it onto another fellow handbag-lover who will cherish it just as much as I did. It’s funny how attached we can become to material objects, but sometimes the memories they carry mean so much. With an old handbag gone, a new will take its place…and I have my eyes set on the most fabulous Fendi. Please stay tuned…well, in a month or two…

Lately, I have tried to focus my attention on purchasing pieces that will remain in my wardrobe collection for years and years to come. Collecting one piece at a time takes great restraint, but in the end always ends up being the better decision. Focusing on the basics  (with a specific color palette in mind), I am building my foundation, then from there I will add a few trendy pieces to the mix. I’ll let you know how that goes…

What are your tips and tricks for building the closet of your dreams?
