A brand I love for its timeless/feminine style is Salvatore Ferragamo. I currently own the Osimo pumps in nude and the Gancini reversible belt in black/brown. The pumps are SO comfy, and the belt goes with everything! Here are some more faves I’ve been eyeing... I love the Gancini bag and the Studio bag — although I do love the Gancini style much more. ;) The shoes are classics that would go with work attire (the flats would be especially cute for your work commute before you change into pumps at the office!) or dressed up casual outfits. If I’d have to pick my ultimate faves, it’d have to be the black/gold Gancini top handle bag and the Osimo pumps in black! Imagine those two with a classic lbd! So chic, no? :)  ***These can all be purchased from Ferragamo’s website, or select options are available at Saks and other retailers. If there’s a Ferragamo store by you, even better because you can try on the shoes for correct sizing and see if the bags fit your frame. I love online shopp...

Similar to fashion powerhouses Chanel, Prada, or Louis Vuitton, Hermès is one with timeless and classic styles. These are my favorite Hermès pieces that are available on their website: 1) twilly scarf, 2) oran sandals, 3) clic h bracelet.  Twilly Scarf  ($170) Accessorizing with a silk scarf adds a touch of elegance, and the twilly designs are lovely. These are my top three patterns... would put them on bags, tie them around my neck, or use as a headband. These scarves sure are versatile! Oran Sandals  ($650) Summer has come to a halt, but these sandals have been on my radar for a while now. I tried the white ones on in Sardinia this past summer, and did not take a liking to them initially. However, it might have been due to a late night or the sandals just not meeting my expectations on how they’d look on my feet. Yet, I still think they are timeless shoes that will last for summers and sunny days on end. I fit a size 8 because they ran small (I am usually a 7). These wi...

Over the weekend I went to a Beck concert... the openers were Spoon and Cage and the Elephant . I didn't really know too much about the artists, but I really enjoyed the music! Before the show, we went to Sripraphai ... I must say, it was authentic Thai food and we had the most flavorful Thai dishes I have ever had! The restaurant isn't fancy, but it was incredible, and everything was delicious! Ordered Thai tea, tom kha khai soup, coconut rice, soft shell fried crab with green mango sauce, steamed fish filet with garlic/chili/lime sauce, and massaman curry. We then headed to the concert, which was lots of fun. After the concert, we stopped by King Cole Bar . Anyway, I am happy the weekend is now done with and that it is now Monday... a new week means a new start! I am up and ready for a great day - just finished painting and then I will go to the gym for my run! Might post my concert outfit later and list some similar options!
