Can you guess who this is? No?…. Give up?!… It’s none other than favorite VS Angel Alessandra Ambrosio…yes…your Brazilian commercial beauty has stepped into high-fashion again. She also walked for Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Giles this season and landed a Moschino campaign. With the reigning Lara Stone, the changing silhouettes at Prada and Marc Jacobs, [...]

Designer and photographer James Kendi has been working on a series called “Spirit Animal”, in which the masks emulate the animal the subject has most profound connection with. All masks are designed by James Kendi.

Shot by Craig McDean for Interview Magazine, this is notably one of my favorite ‘only-girl’ editorials to date. I was immediately drawn to this spread by those wicked elongated punk “pointe” shoes which, surprisingly, are by David Samuel Menkes (heyooo!). Piled in Ann Demuelemeester, Roberto Cavalli, and Alexander Wang, Freja Beha Erichsen looks fierce dusted [...]

Because I don’t have tumblr…. Daria does it again. En Fuego. Mario Testino. French Vogue. That is all.

The circus is in town, and you’re the star of the show. I screamed a little when I came across this little number. Throw on a silk gray blazer with towering heels or wear it alone with a taupe-ish belt around the waist and voila! You’re tight rope ready and breakin’ boys hearts. With cotton [...]

Simplicity at its finest, this Canadian brand has a grasp on my attention with their clean lines, delicate fabrics, and idealistic marketing campaigns that leave me coveting brick covered streets and prancing around in a vintage home in just wool knit thigh highs *sigh*. Everything is right in their Fall/Winter 2010 video creating a visual [...]

Yes, there are a lot of boobies (more like non-boobies) in my blog and for that I do not apologize. But who can’t take their eyes of the lovely Irina Lazareanu. I’ve always been intrigued by her distinctive look and all the dramz she brings to a photograph. She’s got alot of soul and this [...]

There’s nothing like a trend gone overkill. While the trickle down theory seems to be no longer in existence with retailers like H&M, Forever, and Topshop, this summer you’re going to be seeing stripes like a banshee wrapped in an American flag. Although I have a soft spot for all things nautical and admittedly will [...]

Old news. My love for Daria Werbowy will never subside…she has and will always my my number one model muse. Looking incredibly stunning in this spread shot by Mario Testino (who else?) she channels Maria Felix, who was a Mexican film star from the 50′s. Pick up the latest issue of V Magazine today, so [...]

1961 The Status Seekers - Vance Packard

Veering off from the usual, I present to you some incredible covers I discovered of a publication you may or may not remember. Pelican Books were a division of Penguin Books, but the subject matter primarily consisted of education and journalism as opposed to recreation and fiction. The books range in publication dating back to [...]

Keep on the lookout for this bright young thing…Natalia from Profile Models is looking all to familiar of our favorite cool girl Freja..this sexy spread proves she needs to be on our radar. **FYI I’m all about the Alaia Pony Hair wedges in the library/ciggy shot.

In the lieu of wanting all things warm, I’ve been fantasizing an escape to Ibiza drinking Aguardiente while dancing around barefoot with salt in my hair….un dia….hopefully sooner than later. But until then, I can at least look the part come spring weather. A great way to eccentuate an outfit during transitional season is with [...]

Parisian. 70′s. Erotic. Not too shabby. Richard Tisci is doing a swell job breaking into haute couture presenting beautifully tailored menswear inspired lines with plunging necklines followed with tailcoats and gorgeous ostrich feathers cascading out the front. The jumpsuits have an air of nostalgia bringing us back to disco days dancing on tables at Studio [...]

I’ve been reluctant to do a post on a product because one, I’m not here to sell anything, and two…to be honest I have no other reason. But all in all when I come across a product that I absolutely fall over my heels for–I’m feeling the obligation to share my fix. And since I [...]

Stella McCartney’s S/S ’10 Lingerie collection looks delightfully playful and cozy this season….makes me want to frolick and roll around a garden. And lets not forget to mention Kim Noorda looks absolutely stunning….the whole composition is breathtaking. Lovely.

From this point on in my life I plan to focus on three simple values: feel good, be good, and do good. Call it my New Year’s resolution if you must, but a valuable mantra of life. This is merely attainable in my everyday lifestyle but how does this translate to fashion? With a poor [...]

There are two reasons why I automatically had interest in Karlie Kloss. Besides her striking features and long legs, she’s from USA (hails from Chicago! double hey!), and she is classically trained in ballet (my other passion..oh how I miss). Known as one of the “good girls” and only 17 years of age, she has [...]

Ugh. Pre-Fall. While I’ve been still coveting over the spring collections I’ve finally submersed myself with Pre-Fall 2010. 3 weeks after the matter. I just can’t bear to think about getting ready for more cold when it reads 18 degrees outside. As much as I want to whine and complain, we’ll be smacked in the [...]
