Sur Le Radar.

A few items on my radar at the moment…

I’m flying through Laurie Groff’s Fates and Furies.  It’s wild — occasionally, an omniscient narrator will insert her opinion right into the text, using brackets to differentiate itself from the narrative, playing around with the authorial conventions used by playwrights in screenplay writing.  The text itself is split in two, giving you first the perspective of the husband and second the perspective of the wife.  Wild, wild, wild stuff, maybe more interesting for its novel techniques and rich allusiveness than for the somewhat lewd and disturbing plot lines.  Next on the list is Aziz Ansari’s Modern Romance (I LOVED his Netflix show! — so surprisingly authentic and tender and insightful).

I got one of these Nars satin lip pencils ($26) as a gift from Sephora (in the Rikugien color) and OHMYGAH is it amazing.  Staying power and glides on like a dream.

Hello, wut?  This fab Rebecca Taylor dyed fur vest ($499, plus 30% off with code NEWYEAR) is the bomb.  If the price tag is a little steep for your liking, check out this Adrienne Landau style, on sale for $137!

Love these leather pouches from Cuyana with their sweet gold foil sayings ($70), designed by the ever stylish Garance Dore:

 

Inspired by this look, I’ve been on the hunt for lacy white tops and scouted out some amazing finds, like this intricate style ($88).  Also check out this Self-Portrait ($330, I believe what the chic lady in the Pin is wearing); this fun style with a pineapple-esque print (Anthro, $128); or this lacy find ($128).  This lavender style is also pret-ty special (DVF, $298).

Outnet has a bunch of adorable bras on sale, this one being my favorite ($35), followed by this one ($35).  Also love this one ($27)

A coffee table book on diamonds ($57)?!  Yes please.  Pump up the bling.

This cheeky muscle tee ($38) had me at hello, and this nightie — by the same brand — is hilarious.  N’amastay in bed.

Quay shades are the new new.  I like these clear ones ($50) and this cool mirrored pair ($50).

Also still lusting after a pair of the So Dior shades ($595) from last season, after seeing them on everyone from Olivia Palermo to Rihanna to Kendall Jenner.

These delicate ear crawler-type earrings ($65) are perfection.

I’ve heard good things about this lens (Sony, $160), which you attach to your smartphone to take high quality snaps.
