Lucky for us, my best friend and I spent last month in and around the UK. Topshop alone is worth the transatlantic flight; my velvet dress (above) is from Goldie @ TS. I love traveling anywhere but there is no place on earth my heart swells with as much love for as London. It's an absolutely brilliant place to be.

buggin' out

Yesterday at work I picked up an old issue of Vice which includes the most amazing editorial I've seen in ages, featuring thousands and thousands of ladybugs crawling all over a bunch of babes. There's something aesthetically pleasing about how the bugs gather; I'm really enamored with this spread, and not just because it reminded me of my favorite craigslist posting of all time. If you're into these, be sure to watch the accompanying video from VBS.

Most people find it funny that I'm terribly allergic to cats considering I adore them so much I had one tattooed (on my back) for my 23rd birthday. That was already over a month ago and now that fall is here it's a mere two weeks until my return to the epicenter of most things I consider sacred; London, England. With so many travel plans this year, I haven't allowed myself much spending on clothes, etc but (obv) continue to lust over a never ending list of beautiful creations, at the top of which is this pair of majestic cat tapestry Lita boots from Jeffrey Campbell. I have a feeling these might be classified as horrendously tacky by more refined members of the fashion community, but I can't get over the splendor of them.

just a lush

The A/W 2011 Miu Miu campaign includes some of the sauciest images I've seen in awhile, and not just due to the inclusion of pizza! My favorite bit is those gold shoes against the green grass (last image), but it's hard to pick a stand out from among the footwear in this collection. Below are just a few of the glittering highlights.
