‘Uneven’ from Nine West at ASOS
This bag from Nine West at ASOS has a definite Rebecca Minkoff vibe about it, and we love the rebellious, zig-zag lines that no doubt gave it its name. With multiple zip compartments and a hard, shiny finish, it’s the ultimate in rock chic at a pretty decent price.

Daily Obsesh – Han Cholo Spiked Bangle
Bad-girl jewelry- think spikes, leather cuffs, knuckle- duster rings and the like- is all the rage these days with cool girls everywhere. Influenced by rock ‘n’ roll, science fiction, fantasy art, and hip hop culture, the jewelry line Han Cholo is delivering the bad-girl goods and has become the “it” accessory among young Hollywood fashionistas and celebrities alike. I’m not the kind of girl who can pull off a brass knuckle or tommy gun pendant with any aplomb, so in order to keep up my cool girl status, I am all about layering the Han Cholo Spiked Bangles.

Monkeys, Super Mario, Ballerina, Converse All Stars & more very fun cupcakes from Mon Petit Cupcakes
I got all these custom cupcakes from a Facebook album called “Fun Cupcakes by Mon Petit Cupcakes, which I am hereby retitling VERY fun cupcakes because, well, look at them! A-DOR-able! When you have seen many thousands of cupcakes, as I have (I could not even estimate how many cupcake photos I have looked at in the last 5+ years of this blog), it’s easy to pass some over and think, “Cute, but…” but these really wowed me because they are creative, fun, colorful and unusual. I can’t decide which are my favorites but they might be the Converse All Stars, proving once again that anything can be made in cupcake form, even someone’s favorite sneakers! Monkey cupcakes Converse All Stars cupcakes (I think these are Super Mario cupcakes) ballerina cupcake! animal cupcakes the scissors are too cute (my other contender for favorite of this set) I’ve had Mon Petit Cupcakes when I’ve traveled to Minnesota and can tell you they are quite yummy

Sweet treats at Radley’s vintage fair
Radley launched its latest collection of arm candy with a traditional-style vintage fair at its London HQ last week, and ‘candy’ was certainly the operative word! Hostesses clad in retro-style aprons served afternoon tea, while our scouts took the opportunity to nose around the latest styles, which are colourful, eye-catching and fun, while maintaining that very British charm that we’ve come to expect from Radley bags.

Zooey Deschanel Not a Trend Follower
When it comes to celebrity fashion trends, actress and musician Zooey Deschanel says she is not a follower, but rather has a more whimsical, girly style. Deschanel recently told Britain’s InStyle magazine, “My style is pretty, soft, feminine and whimsical. My favourite designers are YSL, Chloe, Miu Miu and Karen Walker.” Deschanel has been too busy of late to worry much about celebrity fashion style or the latest gossip celebrity chroniclers dig up.

in last minute preparation mode
We are entering in full last minute preparation mode these minutes: Pitti Fragranze is ante portas, and on Thursday we hit the train to Florence (hence the picture, although the train in the photo is the Bernina express train, seen 10 days ago). In order to get into the Italian grove we went to the movies yesterday and watched “ mine vaganti (click here for the trailer) ” . Not the average Italian family, though. But it was good entertainment and distraction from boxing and packing.
