It’s been an absolute fucking mess the last few years so I don’t know that I’ll bother but despite initial reports that the infamous Barneys Warehouse sale would not be taking place this summer
it is in fact happening.

This little black dress.
Phlo Finister // July 28
It looks a little Versace to me….
reminiscent of their Spring 2011 collection
the cut outs
the shape
the fringey bottom.
Alas, I have not the slightest clue where it came from
or who this girl is for that matter
but this little black dress is perfect.

Many thanks to Supercities for the identification…

Sleeveless.
Kourtney Kardashian // July 30
I am a huge fan of button downs
I wear them to work
I wear them with shorts
I wear them to bed sometimes.
I had some initial doubts about sleeveless button downs because well,
they can look so soccer mom-ish
but little Kourtney Kardashian leads the way.
I have been eyeing these Equipment tops that come in a variety of colors

Lessons.
Hit ‘pause’ on the fashion portion of HLC for a few minutes, okay?
I’m still drunk so naturally I want to overshare.
And naturally the oversharing will be about my dating life.
A few months ago I did something epicly stupid:
I went on a 48 hour first date.
I mean, I guess that’s what you would call it.
Here’s how and why it happened:

Kate Bosworth // July 28
I love silk
& I love neutrals.
Now that I’m no longer playing the other woman in her relationship with Alexander
[they broke up you guys!!!!]
I can go back to admiring her.
Lies.
Alexander McQueen @ Netaporter
Of course when I said I had nothing for you I was lying.
I always have something for you.
What I don’t have is any use for this card holder
because real talk,
if you handed me your card I probably lost it within seconds or handed it to the random guy who wouldn’t stop asking for my digits.
But I am pretty certain I need this

New favorite blog alert: Cheetah is the New Black.
I can’t really differentiate between cheetah and leopard
[just like I don’t know what orange is and can’t count]
so this was an auto obsession because she posts lots of cheetah/leopard print
and no matter what I say I will always really love leopard.
Second, she (currently) resides in San Francisco and I really love San...
Sticking around.

Color blocking joins leopard and military as a trend that is lingering for fall.
I much prefer the more neutral, muted tones from the fall runways to the brights we saw when colorblocking made its big splash in the Spring 2011 shows.
Since I really didn’t give it a go for spring/summer...

Dope as fuck.
T by Alexander Wang @ Shopbop, $255
I was browsing Nordstrom the other afternoon when I came across this dress.
At first I had no idea it was T.
The design and structure were reminiscent of something we would see from Victoria Beckham’s line…
unfussy, clean, darted at the bust.

The onesie suit.
Dress to Kill Magazine // Sumer 2011 [via]
This just made my day.
I’ve seen a couple of suit-like rompers before
but this ons is so excellent.
Could this be better than the shorts suit?
When’s the last time she looked this good?
Nicole Richie in Yves Saint Laurent // July 23
While I’m all for the unwashed bohemian flower child look
I love it when she cleans up.
And like I told you,

Louis Vuitton started off strong but lately it has been Gucci, Gucci, Gucci.
I hope someone is keeping tally because I’m sure not.

Camilla Skovgaard Resort 2012 [via]
In the past I’ve admired her designs from a distance as they’ve always been a bit
eccentric for my taste
but I spy with my little eye a few pairs that I would love to add to my shoe collection,
specifically the woven sandals that will be fabulous with cuffed jeans
or cut off shorts
or even a little sun dress.
Back for more.
Mango Pre-Fall 2011
Military and leopard are giving it another go.
Neither is arguably ever “out” as far as trends go
but they’ve certainly been in the spotlight for some time.
On the Fall 2011 runways there were nods to both
military at Burberry Prorsum // Louis Vuitton // Versace
leopard prints at Monique Lhuillier // Rebecca...
Nicky Hilton // July 26
I am generally a fan of her choices
and I really love Nicky Hilton here.
Understated but the point comes across that she’s stylish and put together.
Easy to replicate at home with a pair of dressier shorts & an over-sized blazer.
Exposure.
Kelly Rowland in Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2011 // July 26
I really hope that more celebrities start to wear their designs.
I think the juxtaposition of minimalism & subtly sexy detailing is perfection.

This was originally going to be the XXIII perfectly simple post
but this is in a league of its own.
It’s so effortless
so cool, easy & chic;
it’s everything I love about Ashley Olsen’s style.

lately Olivia’s style doesn’t really wow me like it used to.

Things to consider.
[via Shopbop]
Shades of orange for fall,
I’m into it.
Nothing new
but something to consider.
On the Fall 2011 runways:
Anna Sui // Bottega Veneta // Burberry Prorsum
Matthew Williamson // Proenza Schouler // Vionnet
I apologize if not all of these are conisdered orange;
this post proved to be a difficult task
and I’m now...
Right off the (fairytale) runway.
Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture // July 26
She’s given us the very first red carpet appearance of an Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture dress
complete with the runway shoes.
This is much better than her Lanvin dress from the NY premiere.
Mila always does well in Saab…

Michael Kors debuts jewelry for Fall 2011 [via Fashionologie]
MK teamed up with Fossil for this collection which hits stores in August.
Prices seem pretty average for the designer jewelry market starting at $45 and topping out at $395.
I like some of it
like those Wonder Woman cuffs that look quite a bit like what we saw in the Resort 2012 collection…
but for...
Love at first sight.
