Goodbye Monday

Published on 2009-05-17 08:18:00

This will be the last post for Look Book. This Agent Provocateur "Georgia" lingerie set reminds me of my soon to be neighbor- Scotland. Maybe there is a reason I've been attracted to the Union Jack flag motif... We are moving to London. I can't believe it. Below, Alexander McQueen Union Jack Booties from fall '08.Thank you for reading Look Book.www.agentprovocateur.comimages from agentprovocateur.com and polyvore.com

Slowing Down Monday

Published on 2009-04-18 11:29:00

You may have noticed the postings have been lacking of late. It's hard to say why but I just haven't been feeling a strong desire to post. I'm not sure what I'm going to do- either keep posting here and there or maybe start a new blog, but stay tuned... I will update here on Look Book once I decide.In the meantime I'll leave you with a post on my most popular subject- Lingerie Monday (a tad early). This is the aptly named Kate corset from Agent Provocateur.Enjoy the sun and Happy Shopping!www

J. Crew Comes Through

Published on 2009-04-06 09:42:00

Again.I was on the hunt for white cropped jeans but was having a hard time paying $180-220 given their short lifespan. Memorial Day to Labor Day, once a year. I checked out Madewell but their cropped version had a zipper and frankly, it was really annoying. We decided to duck into J Crew and low and behold, there they were- white denim Matchstick Cropped at $85. They fit great and I didn't fee guilty buying them for 3 months of wear.Full Disclosure: I already own a costly pair of white denim

Also while in Urban Outfitters, I spied this very cute, very well made bag by Sabina. It is leather and runs you about $250, which for Urban Outfitters is a lot. The fact that it cost a reasonable amount made me feel good about the quality but it won't break the bank. Lots of zippers and pockets and in a bright color- all very "in."Note: I also saw this bag in black at the store, but that is not featured online.www.urbanoutfitters.comimage from urbanoutfitters.com

Valentino: The Last Emperor

After hearing rave reviews about this documentary on a shoot a couple weeks ago, I went to see it yesterday. It was soooo good. Do not miss the beginning. It was really a beautiful love story and an inside look into one of the most romantic haute couture fashion houses.Click the poster above to watch a preview.image from impawards.com

Tracy Anderson via GOOP

Published on 2009-03-26 17:37:00

I know GOOP has its nay-sayers and I don't love every section but I've mentioned before my love of the recipes section (Make). Today, I discovered a new love. The Do section. Gwyneth's (and Madonna's) trainer has provided two workouts so far. Today, a Cardio Dance Routine and around New Years- not sure how I missed it?- a butt/leg workout. I did both today and let me tell you ... the leg/butt workout... OW! But in a totally good way.Check it out here. Cardio Dance workout here.image from G

Looking Back: Regret

Published on 2009-03-26 17:22:00

I am still so sad that I can't find this cozy plaid shirt dress Michelle is sporting here. Has anyone out there found it? I am still searching... I found a close 2nd today at Scoop of all places. It was a Rag & Bone version- totally different but would serve the purpose.image from people.com

Looking Back: Favorite Purchase

Published on 2009-03-26 17:16:00

Over the past year, I've made several purchases but my favorite purchase by far were the CL Booties!Gorgeous and they go with everything- I really wore them every weekend for most of the winter. I didn't regret the purchase for a second either. Always a good sign.image from bergdorfgoodman.com

Looking Back: Gwyneth

Published on 2009-03-25 20:15:00

I'm sure by now my readers have picked up on the fact that I love Gwyneth Paltrow.  I love her style and how she carries herself in the press (or stays out the press) and almost always, her choice in movies.Over the last year, I've mentioned her at least 20 times.  You can see nearly all my Gwyneth posts here.  I'm sure she will continue to be a feature on Look Book next year as well.image from british elle

Looking Back: Chanel

Published on 2009-03-24 08:23:00

As I was going through old posts, something stood out immediately.1) I love Chanel and it comes up often.2) I still love every Chanel item I lusted over during the year.I actually went into Chanel yesterday hunting down a bag I saw a woman on the street carrying. Alas, it is from one or two years ago (not seasons, years!) and so I was saved from buying said bag. I would have done it for this bag and I'd finally have my Chanel... But another one will come along. And next time I see one I love,
