Victoria looking sublime at the CFDA Awards


I adore this new look from Victoria Beckham! She looks polished, healthy, happy, relaxed. I love how she's not overdone, but just very poised and comfortable.

And the dress! So adorable! It's aflutter with layers and layers of chiffony hearts! Marc Jacobs did well with this look. I wonder if it was a one-of-a-kind, or if he'll be selling this frock from his collection anytime soon...? Just gorgeous!

I never met a frog that I didn't like...

Ever since I was little, I'd always thought that frogs were kinda cute. In their buggy-eyed, bloated tummies, padded fingers kind of way, they always seemed to represent wide-eyed innocence. Other girls always associated frogs with a handsome prince in disguise, but not me. Maybe because I grew up (for a short time) in an area where I had access to frogs, snakes, turtles, and salamanders, I liked the frogs for the frogs themselves, and these little creatures never really grossed me out.

While frogs aren't normally viewed as creatures reserved for cute accessories, I instantly fell in love with these 2 very frog-centric pieces.

The first is this adorable little ring from J.Crew. This version comes in black agate, but there is also a lemon jade version (which would've been my first choice, but I think that one is sold out). I love that it's a little frog that's wrapped around your fingers, much like the little frogs I used to catch as a kid in Walden Pond. This is an ideal little ring to wear on the index finger, methinks.


Then there is this Marc Jacobs purse! It's kinda silly, is fully impractical, and really, why a frog, but I love it anyways. I like that the frog is smack in the middle, as both a showpiece and an accent to the bag. While you can get it in neon pink or acid yellow, I prefer the muted, plain black version, because the gold frog stands out more.


For a one-of-a-kind frogger experience, Neiman Marcus has an exclusive version of the frog bag.


Yes, even Victoria Beckham would approve (if she was your idol, of course). :p

joker style


The first time I saw Miu Miu's Harlequin bag, visions of clowns and jokers danced in my head. The design reminded me of costumes of yore, akin to something a court jester would wear while parading in front of the king and queen.


I actually wondered who would carry this, a mishmash of colorful diamonds like a painted soccer ball, but surprisingly, this bag is starting to grow on me. The likes of Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan are saying it's ok, it can be stylish to carry a patchwork bag. So join us as we strut our stuff!


The disconnect of this bag with their outfits isn't the point. It's about the confidence that anything you wear can look great if you believe in it. I see this bag easily being knocked off and sold at the closest flea market. It's not about high design here, but a decent, colorful, easy-to-sling bag for the every woman. Don't take everything too seriously. I think even a vixen like Harley Quinn would be proud. She is, after all, the epitome of sexy joker style.
