On the Hunt for Zanna's Printed Pants

I've been keeping an eye out for the perfect pair of flowy pajama-like, but still wearable printed pants, and this photo put me over the edge. 

Aren't they the perfect blend of comfort and chic?

The best options I've found are Alberta Ferretti and unfortunately a bit out of my price range (even on sale)

 Alberta Ferreti printed silk wide-leg pants (now $498) 

 Philosophy Di Alberta printed silk sailor button pants

Let me know if you see any more affordable versions!

Fall Style-Edition: On the Hunt for the Perfect Weekend Boots

As fall approaches, I am on the hunt for a new pair of short boots. I have this pair but I'm looking for something in a relaxed lighter color.  The ideal pair would have a sturdy enough heel to wear all day and be a simple enough style that I could throw it on with anything from jeans and a tee to my favorite flowy dress.   With the Rachel Comey (top left) as inspiration, here are the contenders for my fall purchase: 

From left to right, top to bottom:

The splurge: Rachel Comey bootie boots ($403)

DV by Dolce Vita Jamison Booties ($119)

Suede options:

Sam Edelman Petty Booties ($160)

Asos Alpini Suede Chelsea Ankle Boots ($82)

Higher heels:

 TopShop Adore Beige Suede Ankle Booties ($124)

Acne Cypress high heel booties ($589)

The best deals:

Currently Craving: Graphic Black & Gold Bangles

Most of my summer wardrobe is dedicated to light and bright colors, but as I got dressed today, I felt like my outfit was missing a statement piece.  I'd love to be able to throw on any one of these graphic gold bangles.

Massimo Vitali Beach Photos

A couple of weeks ago I shared this room and mentioned how much I love oversized beach prints.  Massimo Vitali is an Italian photographer who started a beach series in the mid-90's that is responsible for my obsession with giant beach prints in interiors.

I love how his photos of beaches and seasides have such an airy feeling.  They're not overly saturated and pristine like most post-cards, so they actually make you feel like you could be there on the beach.   There's also something about them that makes you wan to walk up close to the photo and study what was happening on each of those blankets.

Check out how they can add a touch of vacation and light to a room...

Correction: Although a similar style, the photo above is actually by Christian Chaize  -- His Portugal photos have a similar vibe (and sadly the large prints are similarly expensive)  -- see them here.

I am also just in love with how modern/current  large scale prints look on a wall.
