katieouttake-2


I wanted to pop in to say hello since I've been tied up with work and absent the last couple of days, to wish you a wonderful and relaxing August weekend. Yesterday was our Fall '12 Handbag photo shoot with beautiful Katie who is always so fun to photograph. Above is an out-take of this gorgeous creature with one of our new Fall bags; they'll be on our website very soon!

After wrapping up the shoot, I met up with Sergé, one of my oldest and dearest friends who was in town with his wife Fatima and their two little girls.

Of course I couldn't resist giving the girls the latest Micro Dainty bracelets with Double Anchors {so that they can always stay anchored together} that my friend Phyllis made up in tiny kid sizes for me. It was all too adorable plus I finally got to find out who the hot guy from Yo Gabba Gaba is--sorry you have to watch Sh*t Fashion Girls Say to get this. I also found out that I wear Powerpuff Girl shoes (otherwise known as platforms) -Yay!

Hope you're having a happy summer weekend, here are this week's TYS Links:
Photos from @trustyourstyle Instagram feed - Let's connect on Instagram if we're not already following each other!

* BLOW, THE NEW YORK DRY BAR blew me away

The original is in Manhattan's Meatpacking district, but I went to the new Blow at Nordstrom in Fashion Island. Loved their sweet service {not always the case at your average blow bar}. For super nice, friendly service and a great blow out that will only set you back $30, check out Blow, the New York Dry Bar.  P.S. I'm a huge fan of their Perfect Shower Cap, it keeps every blown lock safe and dry when you shower.

* CAFFEINE ADDICTION, the perfect Fall neutral colors

I finally wrenched myself away from the Laguna Libertine Trio long enough to have my nails painted with Coffee Addiction, the middle coffee-colored neutral from our new Mary Jo Matsumoto 4FREE Caffeine Addiction Nail Color trio. I think it's going to be my every day color for Fall.

* OLYMPIC FASHION FEVER

Loving all the wild 70s reminiscent shoes that cropped up with the summer Olympics. I would've scooped these cool Y3 kicks but they didn't fit me. Have you come down with Olympic fashion fever this summer?

* WOMEN IN YELLOW DRESSES

This week's 58th Art Inspired Fashion post contemplates the joys of yellow dresses.

Happy August weekend ot you too, Mary Jo.

Thanks for the 411 on NYC's Blow. I'm headed there in October and it's the perfect idea before a night out (I love having my hair blown out).

Aaah, such cute little girls! And what a lovely gift idea.

Loving the look of the Fall bags collection, can't wait to see them all! And still digging the coffee-coloured hues too, the shade really suits you.
