She Was Into the Blues

I've been searching high and low for the perfect pair of bell bottoms, and it appears my search is over. Rachel Zoe has has made them her staple wardrobe piece for many years but it wasn't until recently that my infatuation went into full throttle. Finally! At work I noticed one of the girls wearing a pair of jeans from the brand MIH. This particular pair is known as the "Marrakesh" and come in several different denim shades. I'm partial to the navy of course but love the way the light blue has that instant 70's vibe. They have been seen on Claudia Schiffer, Jessica Alba, and countless others. Next on my list to go with the bells? Clogs!

Oh Kate...

Kate Moss for British Vogue September 2010. PERFECTION. She looks like a rock star..

Beautiful Couple Alert

I love when two beautiful people such as these two join forces. Kate Winslet is stunning as always, and her new man (Model) Louis Dowler is just delicious.

There is Magic All Around You

Nicole Richie for the October issue of InStyle UK. This is the only picture from the spread I can see online....dying to get the issue and see the rest!! I've been obsessed with her since the Simple Life days. Is and always will be one of my top style Icons. Love.

Love this look

I'm falling hard for Miley's new look. She looks so chic and cool. Loveeeeee!

In the Realm of Madness

Fall has now entered and taken over my mind. Pleasantly surprised with the forever21 finds shown. Love the idea of endless wedges even as the cold weather approaches. I picked up the first pair immediately upon noticing them. They instantly reminded me of the Bottega Vennetas that I obviously can't afford. So so good.

Monster

I first got a glance of these bad boys while doing some late night window shopping. It was love at first sight. My dear friend Brigitte was lucky enough to snag the last pair on endless.com. Luckily for the rest of us they can be found at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales as well. They are the Sam Edelman 'Lorissa' pumps, and they are danger -- at it's finest.



Epic GaGa Lyrics:
I wanted to just dance
but he took me home instead
Uh-oh, there was a Monster in my bed
we french kissed on the subway train
he tore my clothes right off
he ate my heart and then he ate my brain....
--For my Brigitte*

Love this look

Drew Barrymore has really been rocking it lately! I love this new 'show your roots' trend that's taking place and Drew has the look nailed. Everyone knows I'm obsessed with 'rocker chic', well this look is it for me right now. Unkempt, and rough but oh-so-chic, I can't get enough of it. Never thought a gun shell belt could look soooo hot.

Long Overdue..

I can't help but realize that this amazingly awesome summer is coming to a bittersweet end. I had quite possibly one of the best summers ever. Although quite busy, I loved it all. Working, interning, and classes were something that gave me great panic when I took it all on just 3 short months ago. I remember having the scared, unsure feeling wondering if I would regret doing it all, but I must say it was one of the best decisions I could have made. I feel like I accomplished so much in such a short period of time and was lucky to have so much fun in the process.

I also feel like the city has stolen my heart. Somewhere between the chaos and madness, I find a calm within myself that I've never had before. I honestly can't imagine living anywhere else and am reminded yet again how good change can be. "Take a risk, if it changes your life, let it."

Fall is my favorite season (fashion wise) and I'm super psyched about all the September issues that are out now. My personal favorite this year being Marie Claire (The MK Olsen spread was to-die-for, along with all of the editorials). This issue blew me away.

Like a breath of fresh air...

Blake Lively has always been the primary reason I follow Gossip Girl. Putting the devilish Chuck Bass and quick-witted Blaire Waldorf aside (they come in 2nd). I can't help but tune in simply to see what Serena will be wearing next!! Suffice to say, I was thrilled to come across these candid shots of her on the Gossip Girl set in Paris. As if she weren't chic enough they threw her in the Paris mix. She pretty much took my breath away in those wide leg salmon pants, I mean could she look any more glamorous?! Not to mention the shot of those blue trousers with the gold jacket. My jaw just about hit the floor with the sight of that as well. I also loved the Chanel dress she wore to the Runway show. So girly and fresh. WHAT I would do to walk a day in her shoes...no seriously, those gold studded Brian Atwoods are to-die-for.

Paris Vogue

I noticed at work the other day a magazine cover that instantly caught my attention and found myself drawn to it like no other. It was of course non other than Kate Moss on the June/July issue of Paris Vogue. I've always been well aware of the fact that european magazines tend to dominate when it comes to spreads and editorials compared to the U.S issues. I've also never been one to splurge on these expensive mags simply because I take great pride in my monthly trips to Barnes and Noble where I sip my grande white mochas and flip through the issues without breaking the bank. There was however something special about this issue in particular, and I had an urge to own it like never before. Needless to say I went on a hunt Thursday night at 10pm through the city streets and overwhelming heat in great anticipation of treating myself to a $15 dollar magazine. Crazy? Maybe. Obsessed with fashion mags? Yes. Satisfied with my purchase? Hell yeah!

She did it again...

Thank you Sienna for reminding me yet again how much I adore the simplicity an outfit like this can bring to life. Love it.

Happy.

I feel like I haven't seen much of Nicole Richie lately so when I came across these photos of her in Australia from this past week I was quite excited. She looks so healthy and has a fresh glow these days. I've always appreciated her for the chameleon she is, but I love the dark hair and bangs.

Also still lusting after that Givenchy Nightingale bag she's rocking.

Peanut

This little person entered my world on Tuesday 6.15.10.
He is my tiny peanut and when ever I look at him, I feel a happiness that is indescribable.
I'd like you to meet Isaac Michael, my nephew and current obsession.
I'm so excited to watch him grow and be a part of his life.
<3

Must Have

Completely obsessed with the 'cargo skinny jean' look that's happening right now. I got myself a pair of regular green cargo's from H&M last month and they are super cute and great to throw on when I'm in a hurry or just running to a store. But these Jbrand cargo's retailed at $230 have stolen my heart. I first noticed them on Khloe Kardashian but just recently came across them on Rihanna and Hillary Duff. I can't bring myself to spend that much on a pair of pants and am currently scoping for the perfect 'knock off' pair...and one that won't break the bank!

Brilliant

A rainy day in nyc. I always say I hate the rain but today for the first time I took in the smell of it, and I enjoyed it. Rainy and grey always get me thinking...

CFDA Fashion Awards

My 2 favorites from the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards which took place in NYC last night. Gwyneth in Michael Kors (who was also the night's Lifetime Achievement Honoree), and Molly Sims in DVF.

Mom Jeans

Love this look.

MTV Movie Awards

MTV Movie Award fashion likess...
Kristen Stewart rocked it (I'm starting to like her more and more these days..)
Whitney Port
Eva Mendes
Anna Kendrick

Random I love moment..

Came across this Ashley Olsen look while going through my style folders. Just had a major "Omg I love this look" moment...sighhh

Sex Review

I'm sure I'm behind but I finally went and saw Sex and the City 2 this past week. I'm gonna keep try to keep this short and sweet (key word 'try'!). Fashion wise = amazingg. Story line = not so amazing. Actually I'm gonna come right out and say it....I was extremely disappointed!! :( I'm a hardcore S&TC fan and although I learned a long time ago that you should never expect too much from sequels, I kinda got my hope up that this one would be different. Anyway although I wasn't happy with the plot OR setting, I was impressed with the wardrobe choices. Although not completely blown away like I was in the first movie, I was delighted at a few select pieces. My favorite was hands down, the gown Miranda wore in the wedding scene. She looked stunning! The gown which is by Julien Macdonald was originally picked for Samantha but due to sizing issues, they tried it on Miranda and well..Wow! That dress was ridiculoussss (in a good way!) and I'm really glad they stepped up and gave Miranda some real show stoppers this time around. Next up was Carries Halston Herritage dress which there were a few of in slightly different styles/ colors but this purple one was simple and classic. I also loooooved the red dress with the spiky shoulders Samantha wore during the Karaoke scene. Very out there and sharp (no pun intended), but fun and very much a 'Samantha' dress. What were your thoughts on the movie/ style choices?
