shopping in london: bond st

just finished a little tour of bond st. here in london... a girl could get into a lot of trouble here...

turned a corner and found myself in front of a very familiar-looking post-shopping spot: cecconi's... perfect place for a bite and a glass of wine.

anniversary

i'm a little behind on this post - my actual one-year wedding anniversary was just over a month ago - but it is only now, sitting in an airport lounge waiting to board, that i have a bit of time to put up one of my favorite pics from our anniversary weekend.  we went back to the hotel where we got married for a long weekend and it couldn't have been more lovely and relaxing.  can't believe it has already been over a year since we said our i dos...

missoni beach

we angelenos are in the midst of a very gloomy june, which makes me want to be on the beach in europe wearing pretty much any bikini by missoni....

bright hued denim: j brand and rag & bone

i admit it - i am completely obsessed and it may have gotten a little bit out of control.  i justified a khaki pair over the weekend by telling myself they are seriously appropriate work pants (though i totally admit i wear all colors of them to work anyway, even if some might consider it less than appropriate to sport bright orange pants to work...) obviously i am talking about j brand's 811s, which come in almost all the colors you can dream of and fit perfectly and are so comfortable and remind me its summer even if i am trapped inside an office building all day (and last week, all night too - think 3:30am... so painful).  moving right along, here are some of the pretty 811s:

find these ones here: red, yellow, orange, turquoise, blue, purple, pale pink, pink, light blue.

looking for green? find them at neiman's or bergdorf's:

intermix also boasts some exclusive j brands:

or try rag and bone for some other cute colored jeans... i picked up these ones in yellow:

find these ones here: light pink, turquoise, red, blue, yellow, green, light blue, white, salmon.

blush bridesmaids dresses by theory (at neiman marcus)

soooo.... i was out and about today returning some items (and perhaps picking up some other items...) and i found some really pretty theory dresses that would be amazing for bridesmaids dresses at neiman marcus.  here is a pic of all four in the blush/nude color (this was at the neiman marcus store in beverly hills):

the dresses from left to right are jalena, alesandra, edmona, and elvinia.

jalena is my favorite:

i can't find all four of them in this nude/blush color online anywhere, not even on neiman's website, so i think if you are interested in these you need to call the beverly hills store to order.  seriously these together would be so so so pretty for a bridal party.... i love the idea of the same color but different dresses.

here are the dresses in the colors i did find online:

online in these and other colors:
jalnea can be found at theory
elvinia can be found at saks, neiman marcus, theory, and nordstrom
edmona can be found at shopbop (but i think its sold out),and neiman marcus
alesandra can be found at net-a-porter, theory, shopbop, neimanmarcus, zappos, and bergdorf goodman
