In the mean time...My new Marni bag!

So I haven't gotten around to the daunting task of cataloging my wardrobe but I've done my laundry (Yay!) and I've picked up a few amazing pieces over the past month.  Like this Marni bag that has retired my CHANEL wallet-on-a-chain.  As a new mom toting snacks, tissues, and God knows what else I feel this was a much needed switch. It is spacious, durable, comfortable to carry and cost $30 at a second hand store.
 
I find that the obscure lines I love are often overlooked and under-priced when compared to their more popularly recognized contemporaries. At the same store, for instance, a Tory Burch bag was far more expensive though it retails for considerably less.  Go figure.  I hope they continue to not do their homework so I can keep scoring...

Shingai Shoniwa of the Noisettes

Graphic prints, fringe and a mean pompadour
      
Mobile necklace, luxe textured jacket and fortune cookie fascinator

Often shoeless, always sexy, performer extraordinaire Shingai Shoniwa of the Noisettes is effortlessly one of THE hottest entertainers to surface in the last few years.  She brilliantly blends haute couture, vintage, ethnic and whimsical elements to yield a unique style that matches her amazing voice.  I love the way she plays with color in a restrained manner; her look is always so intentional and glamorous yet youthful and never overdone. 

Make the Noisettes a staple in your auditory diet.  Check out this live performance of Atticus from their sophomore album "Wild Young Hearts".  
You're welcome.
