i seriously need a laptop bag.  i’ve gone without one for the longest time, because for the most part they’re so hideous. i kind of think this dior homme tote is the most ideal option ever.  oh yeah.  ideal except for the €1074 pricetag.  for those of you who don’t know, google has just informed [...]

i love that this look is essentially your formula cocktail party outfit, but every piece is just a little bit insane.  instead of your basic black shift dress, witness this beauty by rue du mail by martine sitbon.  check out a close up of the beading on net-a-porter.  it’s an unusual touch that lifts it from [...]
