I was looking for shiny, happy images to offset the LA gloom (it’s pouring) when I discovered the Write My Fairytale Tumblr.

I’m feeling better.  You?

Is that Naomi Watts in photo 1?

Ever feel like you have walked into a nice restaurant with the adult equivalent of a huge ratty back pack full of, not text books and love notes, but 87 lip stains, sunglasses and at least 3 electronic devices? Lately I have been dreaming of a ladylike hand bag that is big enough to carry all my daily essentials, yet dainty enough to wear to dinner at night.

 

Rebecca Minkoff Covet H163B24P Shoulder Bag

 

My stylin Mother-in-Law has this Rebecca Minkoff Covet bag in plain black leather and it has a shoulder strap which is such an essential addition to any ladylike bag. Come on let’s be practical here.

Cambridge Satchel Company

A bit more masculine but with lots of great colors and subtle shape change options, the Cambridge Satchel Company classic bag is so boy-chic.

 

Morgan Parish Saddle Bag

My girl Ayeisha had just debuted this stunning Saddle Bag in her Morgan Parish Collection. Infused with clean lines, a classic pedigree and an element of hipness the other options can’t beat.

J. Crew Edie purse in Italian calf hair

 

Since no A & O fashion post would be complete with out a little J. Crew, meet the Edie Purse in Italian Calf Hair. Small but still swoon worthy.

 

All the options above are under $500 which makes them ALMOST practical right? Right?

For You

Navy + Burgundy OutfitSimilar loafers,bag, pants, shirt, headband

The Richard Nicoll for Fred Perry Collection has captured the look of my “London in the 60′s” fascination. Headbands, preppy wool patterns and boxy shapes borrowed from school boys feels just right for fall.

For Your Table

Heath Ceramics Etched Bowl & Tray Set

Burgundy is making a come back this season, pair it with navy for a crisp combo. Have your seen these limited edition Heath Ceramic Etched Bowl yet? Peaking out from the insides of the winter white exterior is a warm navy or burgundy glaze. It’s like serving your hummus and crackers out of a birch log, what could be more festive for this fall/winter?

My mom has generously offered to make me a shift dress as I have been coveting a custom one for many years. I can’t seem to find a vintage one that fits me just right.

jackie+kennedy+india+orange

When we were chatting about this over the phone I said “I want one like what Jackie wore on her trip to India with her sister.”

 

Luckily my mom knows exactly what I was talking about and later that day sent me a link to this Habitually Chic blog post!!

 

Perfect inspirations images, right?

 

jackie+kennedy+india+pattern

So now I need to pick out a fabric and I’m totally lost. Linen or Silk? Neutral color or bright pastel? I have about 4 vintage black dresses in similar shapes so black is out. Help friends, I want this dress to last a lifetime.

missoni-for-target

The Missoni line for Target drops today! I will be waiting in line when the store opens to grab some items for our home. I’m especially excited for the trays, towels and desk accessories. Zigzags and stripes for days my friends, and at a price we can all afford.

 

best of luck,
