luxe loves

What I'm loving right now, in no particular order.

-- Mary J. Blige's amazing gray cashmere Alexander McQueen hooded wrap sweater she wears in the AT&T mobilephone commercial.

-- all the amazing scarves for fall/winter. especially the purple/gray degrade number from Burberry.

-- leggings (for women, of course) - especially in intricate designs, bright colours, and playful patterns.

-- mixing your shoe wardrobe (for women, again) - tall boots, short ankle gladiator style booties, uber luxe ballerina flats, and sky high heels.

-- vintage inspired leathers - for both men and women - motorcycle jackets, gloves, belts, shoes, and even jewelry.

-- the exquisite manner in which Martin + Osa delivers their online orders to clients - neatly folded in plastic to prevent damage and wrinkles, then neatly wrapped in tissue paper and M+O seals, with air filled packaging to prevent unnecessary shifting through transit, with a clean envelope with very clearly, concise instructions for returning and exchanging (although I won't need them!), complimentary return postage labels, and - best of all - the excitement I had while viewing my purchases.

-- Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte

-- giant sunglasses (but not that stupid plastic raybans in a myriad of colours)

-- cocktail rings and custom jewelry - or at least jewels that mean something, like the amazing Giorgio Armani black onyx cross necklace I just picked up in Firenze.

-- luxe travel

-- and most importantly - all the amazing, thoughtful birthday wishes I've received over the weekend.
