Insects give me the heebie jeebies. Sure, I’ll tolerate the cute bugs*, but honestly, I’m thankful that the cat finds pleasure in attacking – and eating – any creepy crawler that wanders inside. It’d be an entirely different story if the creatures were as gorgeous as this Tony Duquette for Coach stick pin. Collecting bejeweled bugs is as close to entomology as I care to get.

*Cute bugs include butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, caterpillars … and that’s about it.

I yearned for this pair of Kate Spade earrings a few years ago and finally purchased them on eBay. It’s the finishing touch to a whimsical holiday outfit.

Rouge pants are a beloved staple in my closet, but I hadn’t worn them as often as I’d like until I brought them to a tailor. Now that the pants hit right above my ankle, they’re the perfect accompaniment to ladylike heels and a billowy blouse.
