little miss sunshine







Yellow always seems to bring a certain brightness to my day. These ladies demonstrate how yellow can liven a fall/winter look seen on Taylor Tomasi Hill or brighten up an entire ensemble seen on the one and only Anna Dello Russo.  No matter what you pair it with, this vibrant color is sure to make you and many others around you smile :)

crystal renn - vogue mexico










Crystal Renn has finally graced her first Vogue cover. Although I wouldn't quite call her a plus size model these days, she is definitely healthier than many of her peers. In every spread I've seen her in she always brings the clothes to life and gives 110%. She has really come along way from an eating disorder to breaking barriers as a plus size model and author in the fashion industry

For Lovely Always


 The legendary Elizabeth Taylor has passed away at the age of 79, not only was she an icon in film but her style was ultimate Hollywood glam. This photo, taken by Richard Avedon, is the perfect reminder of a real Hollywood beauty.
One of my girlfriends Jodie read her bio (will post title later) and said it was absolutely fascinating. "For Lovely Always" is her favorite quote from the book and I thought it was a perfect fit for the title of this post. 
Elizabeth Taylor - For Lovely Always.


UPDATE: 
The title of the book is The Last Star

the mulberry lily bag






The work behind the Mulberry Lily bag includes 2596 Swarovski crystals and 460 Mulberry rivets (applied manually), hand cut leather and 18 hours of labor, I repeat 18 hours of labor! All that hard work has clearly created a beautiful masterpiece that can be all yours for $5250.

Thoughts?

red hot


Balenciaga - Are you drooling yet? I have always wanted a Balenciaga City bag but after seeing these amazing pumps I have a new #1 on my wish list!! But seriously take a close look at the detail, I couldn't find a picture showcasing the front of these strappy beauties but is it really necessary?

frills




This is the first time I've featured Giovanna Battaglia but trust me it will not be the last! I know I've gushed about many others on this blog but she is one of my favorite, absolute, major style crushes! She has impeccable style and pulls off any and every look she wears so effortlessly. 
Now let's discuss this adorably chic outfit! The red skirt is so young and flirty; not many others could pull this off and still manage to make it look age appropriate... but like I said she pulls off every outfit effortlessly!

easy breezy



Montreal = slush, puddles and non-stop rain.....why can't it just be spring already!?! This look is so light and playful; a perfect reminder of what's to come in the next season. After a day like today, I'm impatiently awaiting the arrival of spring and an easy breezy wardrobe (bye bye coat, mitts, hats, boots, etc)

heavy metal





This jacket screams DIY project, if I start now mine could be done just in time for fall. Doesn't it remind you of Lady Gaga's leather studded jacket from her Telephone video, the scene where she's on the phone wearing soda cans in her hair. I spent last night watching every possible Gaga video and now can't stop singing Born This Way, have you seen it yet?
