fashion finds

...that I have added to my collection

“As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.” John Wesley

"They think him the best dresses man, whose dress is so fit for his use that you cannot notice or remember to describe it." Ralph Waldo Emerson.

adorable Anne Klein pumps: “Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.” Plato

A woman's true beauty is not in her figure, in the clothes she wears, or in the way does her hair. A woman's beauty is seen in her eyes, because they are the window to her soul the place where love dwells." Audrey Hepburn

“The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” Paris Hilton

and a little gem from Anthropologie with all kinds of design, couture, and style tips:

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony. William Henry Channing's Symphony: some background, and its appearance in an Arthur Brisbane editorial - from the 1906 collection, "Editorials From The Hearst Newspapers"” Williiam Ellery Channing
