Though we here at Shima love fashion we are some picky women. We are not into loud obvious fashion, celebrity driven fashion or people that define fashion by price instead of ingenuity. That's why we LOVE Mayle. Jane Mayle, daughter of famed author Peter Mayle was a a former model turned designer has been quietly making gorgeous things for women to wear for years now. Her downtown Nolita boutique is nestled in the perfect area ( a few doors down from to UNIS, another amazing store) surrounded by cute boutiques (except for that damn Tory Burch store that threatened to corrupt the area but hasn't) and great places to eat. With an impressive clientele (Sofia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst to name a couple) she makes clothes that women sigh over. Gorgeous, sweet, sexy with a sense of individuality that confident women love. Check out www.mayleonline.com for a glimpse at the amazing. Or make your way down to the store to sigh in person.

jean seberg in À bout de souffle



















blythe mania..lets just say ive started collecting blythe doll photos on flickr and thisisblythe.com

little oprah(photo courtesy of jerry)







































need i say more?

my fashion fix, and hopefully yours now..










my new spring wardrobe will ideally consist of these 3 pieces from united bamboo(im really digging monochromes and basic simplicity in outfits right now), with a splash of orange or flourescent pink and green via accessories or nail color

also, incorporating early 90's vintage betsey johnson dresses, justin or dr. marten boots, and high waisted leggings are essential for me


(these leggings can be found on www.pixiemarket.com)


there's been a major heat wave the past 3 days in LA, which has finally enticed me to get out of my black tights and embrace spring fever!
