Lovely Finds: The Coveted & Mary Kate Steinmiller's style**

{via the Coveted}

Just clicked on this site, the Coveted, while getting my daily dose of because i'm addicted and I'm obsessed! I'm totally in love with the photography on this site, and the fact that we get to peek into the closets of the most fashionable people! I'm even more in love with featured Teen Vogue Fashion Market Editor Mary Kate Steinmiller's style. She says she wears mostly skirts made of rich fabrics paired with simple crew neck tops and sweaters, and tons of heels.  I love how the way she describes her personal style is so simple but the outcome is so rich and refined.  Makes me want to emulate this idea of just skirts, heels, vintage jewelry, and basic tops for a more classic and simple closet!

**Wow.  So after blogging about this, it seems as though there was a legal battle going on between Jennine Jacob and Coveted Media (of www.the-coveted.com) and Mark and Erin Kleinberg of this website, and so now they're called "The Coveteur."  See Fashionista for the story.

Obsessions: Layered Pearls & Beads

I've been officially sucked into the new trend of statement jewelry (I blame it on J.Crew's "rule of three" and my lovely new obsession, the J.Crew Carlyle necklace).  I saw this massive display of long pearl and bead necklaces at Nordstrom this weekend, and I'm obsessed!  The sheer length of these necklaces is awesome in itself, but when you layer them they create such an easy, messy, yet flawlessly put-together look.

Obsessions: Madewell's new website

i just got an email from j.crew today that their new sister site www.madewell.com has just launched.

i was eager to visit the site as i knew it would resemble j.crew's captivating website... and i was right. madewell is basically the vintage-inspired-lived-in-relaxed sister of j.crew.

i already found a crapload of pieces i absolutely neeeeeed.

Lovely Fashion: Lipsy London in Bloomingdales

Seeing that this blog entry on the Lipsy website is from April 2010, I guess this really is old news. But I don't exactly keep up with the fashion news, so I was shocked when I saw an entire Lipsy London section at Bloomingdales in South Coast this weekend. Although in general Lipsy is a little gaudy and slutty for my taste, there are some pretty cute styles. And I though T would be a bit pleased with the news.
