Is there anything more feminine than a bow? I think everything looks better tied tight. Here are just a few bow-laden pieces I'm loving right now. 

What are your favorite trends for summer?

The blog world is abuzz with discussion of Kate Spade's newest book, a collection of "inspirations, intriguing bits, and other curiosities" inspired by the much-loved section of the brand's retail website, "The Things We Love". While The Things We Love is not yet available for sale to the public, I decided to create my own edition, The Things I Love, for today's post. Enjoy!

Here's a consolidated list with links:
1.) Ballet Slippers
2.) Keith Haring
3.) Capri Blue Candles
4.) Hidden Messages
5.) Bows
6.) Aphrodite's Pink Nightie Nail Polish
7.) S'mores
8.) Starbucks Holiday Drinks
9.) Fifi Lapin

Gaga Oh La La!!

As illustrated by tonight's episode of Glee, Lady Gaga's fashion choices are eclectic to say the least, but she and I are kindred spirits in one regard. Bows. How fabulous is Gaga's literal hair bow? Unfortunately, I don't have a team of personal stylists to recreate the look on a daily basis, so I have to channel my bow-loving energy in other ways:

Clockwise from top: Anthropologie Pearly Glow Tank ($68), Forever 21 Bangle ($4.80), Modcloth Skirt So Good ($37.99), Boutique 9 Val Sandal ($189.95), Marc by Marc Jacobs Linda Clutch ($250), Marc by Marc Jacobs Metal Bow Studs ($38)

p.s. I can't add the Polyvore clipper to my bookmarks on Firefox-- any suggestions?
