the ides of march: et tu brute?

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN fascinated with the Ides of March. Besides being a Shakespeare lover (and I say that with the utmost pretension...JK, but seriously that dude is responsible for our modern language), I'm also intrigued by Caesar's ignoring of his murderous prophecy. If it were me, I probably would've hidden in my bed while watching MadMen and eating pints and pints of ice cream until midnight rang and the Ides of March were officially done-so.

But this also makes me think about how many times I've ignored my intuition and ultimately regretted a decision. Well, not exactly regretted... more like screamed DOH! whilst slapping my forehead.

Note to self: must trust self.

Anyway! In the spirit of this Roman remembrance, I've chosen a few of my top SUMMER choices inspired by the great empire... with a twist. Obvi :-)

Love,
JaKenna

your new favorite fall color: anything eggplant, wine or chocolate

IT ALL STARTED with a rainy stroll past the Rag & Bone store on Houston + Elizabeth (so hot for those jeans right now) and ended with an obsessive internet scour for awesomelycoloredeverything. Must have delicious color trends... 

I don't think it's fair to have the description for Essie's Velvet Voyage be "an intense chocolate amethyst." I now want to eat the nail polish. #oops #dangerous


SIDEBAR: OhMyG Fashion's Night Out is tomorrow! I'm making a list and checking it twice: what I'm wearing and where I'm going. Full details tomorrow!
