lust: this bag!

thats kim kardashian at an event in Monaco flaunting that absolutely stunning Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring, but what i'm more in love with is the gold Alexander McQueen clutch (buzz around the web is that its McQueen-i hope its right!).  The bag is absolutely covetable.

lust: Kate Spade

quintessential new york design.
functional, fashionable, and oh so effortlessly chic.
I love Kate Spade for her preppy yet on point design that just make every thing New England related so much cuter. 

some personal favorites:
kate spade 'cobble hill-leslie small'
$345
kate spade sea drive 
$325
kate spade "kick up your heels" bangle
$128

personally i adore the sea drive bag, very classic and Chanel inspired.
plus it would look killer during the summer paired with anything from denim to lady like dresses.

lust: Céline

I've recently been branching out into the world of international designers and French powerhouse Céline always manages to impress me with its simple but exceptionally made wares.  A girl can dream.



summer and everything in between

hello loves,
okay so i am fully aware that i have been mia for many many days and i'm sorry, but the truth is school is the most important thing right now and i hope you guys can understand that.  For a long time i wasn't sure if i wanted to continue this blog or even go forth with it but i'm feeling better and more refreshed than i have in months and i want this to be my fresh new approach.  So heres jumping back into business:

numero uno: Beyond the Rack - okay so this is literally my fab find of the day, i haven't bought anything yet but there are a number of gorgeous baubles that i am eyeing.  basically the site is a members only site that allows you to get designer goods (clothes, handbags, accessories, even housewares) for up to 70% off. Sounds pretty awesome to me, here's a link to join if your interested: (and yes it is free) http://www.beyondtherack.com/member/invite/B5766490

numero dos: Aldo Flash Sales - this is whats up for all you shoe fanatics! these are fantastic, all you have to do is once again sign up for free and they'll send you emails when they are having the sale, which typically last a day or two and you could save up to 70% off.  Its currently flats! So grab what you want while they are hot of the presses:

my personal favorite from all the flats offered has to be:
Magen $22.49 It's fun and flirty, the print screams summer to me and even looks a bit Missoni-esque no?
and 

Glauberman $24.98 which i can see looking fab with a fun colored pleated skirt and neutral top as well as an easy way to polish off any ensemble.  

numero tres: this site - the site is super adorable and i just found it today, i am already in LOVE with the pictures given for all the different outfits which are reasonably priced.  If you just want to check out a fun site with very CUTE clothes, i suggest this one :) 

numero quatro: (isn't my spanish great haha) WHOWHATWEAR blog now this is one of the best blogs i've read in a long time, and it doesn't involve reading so much as ogling gorgeous clothes and scanning very editorial like spreads for whats new in fashion.  Highly Recommend. 

Finally I'd like to say that blogging for me has been an extra ordinary experience and for anyone out there who reads my blog i hope you've enjoyed it as well! I will definitely try to keep up with this over the summer at the very least! 

xoxo,
Bella

p.s. i know this is old news but Blake Lively for Chanel is one of my all time favorite campaigns, she completely embodies the carefree Mademoiselle style.  absolutely j'adore.
