Fabulous Ford

February is all about FASHION, FASHION, FASHION!  New York, London, Milan, and Paris all show what next for fall ready-to-wear 2014.  While the couture shows are fabulous and incredible, Fall RTW is my favorite season of clothes.  Luxe fabrics, furs (real and faux), and oh the gorgeous accessories.

I've been in love with Tom Ford, both the man and his designs, since he was named the creative director at Gucci 20 years ago.  This is the look that sealed the deal:

Kate Beckinsale's obi style Gucci dress at the SAG awards in 2002 was the most perfect piece of clothing ever created in my book.  I've always said that when I get married I want 2 dresses: the full princess dress for the ceremony and this dress for the reception.  L.O.V.E.

One year after making his return to the runway, Mr. Ford's collection was everything I could've hope for from the master of elegance.  Simple, chic, and just a touch of rock & roll.  Some of my favorite looks:

The cheetah print, the colored fur, the off the shoulder realness...THANK YOU.

Bag of Tricks

HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY!  More importantly HAPPY DAY OFF TO ME!!!

I've never done one of these before, but I figured since I was switching purses now was as good a time as any...here's what's in my bag (minus the batch of receipts crumpled at the bottom):
Wallet (Hobo "Lauren"), checkbook, pen, headphones, lip balm (Vaseline, La Mer), mints, matches from my favorite bar, flashlight, brush, probiotics, saline nose spray (essential for dry winter months), hairspray, Starbucks drink sleeve, make-up bag (old Gap).
My make-up / "I wish I had" bag was an impulse purchase from the Gap (old) while standing at the register.  It's compact but holds way more than you could ever expect.  Below is what's in the "I wish I had" side alone...
White strips, proxy brushes, Ahava hand lotion, TUMS, eyeglass screwdriver, teeny tiniest tube of toothpaste, eye drops, blister block, floss, cortisone cream, mouthwash, baby wipes, eyeglass cleaning cloth, tampons, cold medicine, an assortment of hand wipes, Band-Aids, hair ties, deodorant towelette.

If you follow me on Instagram (@lizalishus) you will have seen my Valentine's Day present to myself.  This gorg Milly Blake satchel:
The super soft leather, minimalist classic design, and oversized zipper detail were what really caught my eye.  Up until the moment I laid eyes on this baby I was dead set on buy another bag, but this was love at first site.

I Just Can't Get Enough





So the place I go for waxing is next door to a Charming Charlie.  I happened to be 20 minutes early for my appointment so I stopped in to look around.  I love this store because it's organized by color which appeals to my type A, hyper-organized personality.  I grabbed a lot more than what's seen here, but tried to be good.  I said "tried." 



Clockwise from top left:
Ranch Glam Pendant Necklace
3-Row Bike Chain Necklace (not available online)
Bubble Necklaces (not available online but on sale in store)
3 Teardrop Bib Necklace (not available online)

Love Is All You Need

At the end of the day, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm a hopeless romantic that's completely in love with love.  And someday my battered heart will find it again. (cue the smallest violin in the world playing just for me)
