latest obsession: prabal gurung for j.crew

Super chic Singapore-born designer, Prabal Gurung has created an amazing limited edition line for J.Crew that literally caused my heart to skip a beat upon viewing the collection. Playing with volume and scale, Gurung designed a collection that was both modern and chic, yet comfortable and approachable. Take a look at these amazing must-haves [and grab them before they're gone...only 50 pieces were created for select styles!]...

good taste resolution: start saving with style!

With each coming new year we seem to gain new experiences, new friends, and new decisions to better ourselves for the road ahead.  As we embrace 2011, during these lovely economic times, we could all benefit from the resolution to start saving more (my least favorite thing!).  As always, gorgeous designer temptations always seem to break the bank, so I decided to dig deeper and see if it really is possible to still look polished and put-together on a serious budget. With a little creativity and some great resources for fresh finds, I think it just may be possible...
