By Katrice  I'm not quite ready to let go of summer, so I decided to pull out my favorite white blazer and keep things light today. Thank goodness for lingering warm weather in Georgia. I'll take Indian summer over fall any day.  Blazer, Apostrophe Tank and Skirt, H&M Bib necklace, Loehmann's Shoes, Forever21 ...

By Katrice Burberry just made me a fan of purple. And ethnic prints ... I'll take them every season. But the brand's delicious upgrade of the classic trench, heartily woven totes immixed with bead-dazzled wedges, and meticulous color play have left me simply awestruck. Spring 2012, notes taken. {The bag} {Loving this jacket} {I'll be seeing these stripes in my dreams} Images from...

By Katrice  I'm inspired by Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 RTW to dive into mingling colors, patterns and texture. Very feminine ... extremely daring. I didn't love everything. But, the standouts -- especially the bags -- made me forget about the rest. I already have a few ideas for remixing what's already in my closet. Images are from Vogue.com. ...

By Katrice I recently traveled to San Francisco for the first time and spent a long weekend getting to know the very East Coastesque city in the west. As soon as I arrived, I set out on what I expected to be a 20-minute errand to the drug store. Instead, I walked the SoMa {South of Market} district surrounding my hotel for two hours....

By Katrice  It's no secret that I'm a fan of SheaMoisture products. They're all-natural, effective and very light on your wallet. So, I'm excited to have them sponsor a giveaway of their newest offering -- Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Soufflé (Gel) with Agave Nectar & Flax Seed.  Formulated without the use of chemicals, alcohol and silicone, the gel is an easy-to-rinse-out and light-weight...

Kanye West, Sienne Miller, Gemma Arterton, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley {Source} I'm loving the leather leggings lining the front row of the Burberry Spring/Summer 2012 Womenswear Show in London. I scoured stores midwinter last season for leggings with faux leather patches on the knees -- to no avail. I'm glad the trend continues and I've already located a few look for less options. Winning. {Will...

By Katrice At least once every few weeks, I hear someone who is so discouraged with her natural hair say that she is thinking of reverting back to a chemically straightened coif. And I feel like jumping into action with every tip I have learned by trial and error or heard in my three years of getting to know my own hair the...

By Katrice I was lucky enough to get a few lovely pieces from the Missoni for Target line today. I wasn't there when the store opened but sauntered in at lunch to find a sales associate restocking a few goodies and hinting of more. I went specifically looking for the coffee mugs ... the ballet flats, makeup bag and journal were the bonuses....

By Katrice  To say that I love handbags would be an understatement. Ever since I was in tween, they've been my favorite accessory. Interestingly, I don't do a lot of posts around what's new or has caught my eye but purses are the most profound portion of my wardrobe. So, I thought, why not dedicate a blog to my own little piece of...
