Just a bunch of random photos I took while trying to make my room look organized. I figured there was a lot of stuff I have acquired while abroad and since the holiday season that I forgot to show on the blog so here they are.

First off is my new favorite hat! I bought it in the central market in Florence-I had been looking for an ear-flap fur hat like that one since I spotted it on Ashley Olsen in like 2005. It is so warm, but the only problem is that I can't hear a thing around me when I am wearing it...whoops! Then I've been trying to organize my room slowly but surely. I kind of gave up on unpacking and decorating before leaving for Italy so it is still a big mess. I got the idea to hang the necklaces on the wall from a room on the Selby website. Such a good idea-why let all those beautiful necklaces sit in a box where you can't see them? Theres no sense in that.

The bag with the maroon python detail is a vintage find from Italy. I spent so much time abroad scouring vintage stores for the perfect bag and shoes and by the last day I had found both. It was love at first sight with this bag. The only improvement for me would be if it had a longer strap as well as the short one; I am all about cross body bags because of their comfort.

The little pouch bags are a sort of collection I have started recently. I adore small purses and while they aren't always right for all occasions they are perfect for going out at night when you don't need much. I love the drawstring format. I bought the two green bags in Florence-the dark green suede at the market and the round one with the tassels at a leather store. The two red ones were gifted to me by my grandmother. And finally the more detailed shot shows a hand-printed velvet bag that I got in Venice. It is so tiny and sweet and the peachy-blush hue is so gorgeous in person. I found it at this amazing store that sold all sorts of hand printed velvet cushions, shawls, bags etc and hand-printed chandeliers as well.

Of course many of you recognize the Christopher Kane x Topshop alligator dress. I scored that when I went to Topshop in New York last weekend, and it was selling for only $20! I couldn't believe my luck :)

Final picture is a little episode of whats in my bag...It is a Dooney and Bourke bag from Ebay with a vintage leopard scarf. Then the usual: ipod, phone, hello kitty wallet and change purse, floss (?), hairclip, giftcards from Christmas, pen, hand cream, red lipstick, and my newly organized keys with a tassel keychain!
