My style as of late has been about minimalist, easy pieces made from natural fabrics. This hasn't been the easiest thing to find in stores, but this little skirt has all the right elements. The casual shape, sharp black trim, and silk fabric make for a very attractive package. Madewell, $88
Lately I've been attracted to things in their purest form, and this simple top by J.W. Anderson is about as minimal as they come. Moda Operandi, $430
Whenever I'm in New York I always try to stop by John Derian, which means I spend a lot of time sighing over his collection of Hugo Guinness paintings and prints. J.Crew posted their spring lookbook this morning and I was delighted to see that the darling! sweater is actually a collaboration with Hugo, and in cashmere no less. J.Crew, $398
It never fails that Topshop sends out an email of an outfit, and the one piece that catches my attention isn't available to purchase (or at least investigate). What's up quilted gold skirt?
Can anyone ID these sunglasses? I thought they were Tom Ford Anouk but they look different on the bottom.

This image has been hanging out in my inspiration folder for a while now. I like the entire room, but the sleek lines and shiny surface of the dresser is what stuck with me. I made a mental note to keep my eye out for something similar, preferably vintage.
That was a year ago, and still haven't found anything. Then I spotted the new mirrored Malm dresser at Ikea last weekend. I think it was $300, but I can't find it on the website to confirm. The price seems expensive, as it isn't really mirrored but more of a foil finish material.
Here's another pic of it from the 2013 catalog. I'm on the fence, so right now it will just hang out on my wishlist.

The good news is that most of the fall items I have my eye on at J.Crew didn't show up in their latest rollout. The bad news is that one of them did. If you read this blog on a regular basis you know there is no shortage of snake print love here at Moodboard.
The No.2 Pencil Skirt in Snake Print is extra tempting because it would work as a transitional piece from now through fall. I told you my resolve wouldn't last long.
I know this will change, but right now all I want for fall is a pair of Proenza Schouler F/W 2012 boots and a stack of grey cashmere sweaters.
These images of Rachel Weisz in Vogue UK July 2012 perfectly sum up the look I'm going for. A step up from a sweatershirt, but with the same slouchy feel and ability to ground flights of fancy pieces.

I've been concentrating most of my purchases towards the house, but this Isabel Marant skirt caught my attention when it popped up on La Garconne this morning .
The whole outfit is very me, but I'm trying to be very good. Sigh.
(The look on the model's face is cracking me up. She looks so disgusted.)
