From the Monthlies: The Cute Pregnant

21 May

I’ve always said I’m only jealous of one type of woman and that’s a pregnant one. And well, its obvious that Kate Middleton is becoming the cutest pregnant of all time, which means I’m super jealy! Because she is tall, she carries the baby weight well, and of course, the Princess can do no wrong when it comes to looking smart and polished.  These images are from a WWD feature last week where a few top designers offered exclusive looks for the Duchess. My fav is the black Vera Wang. Which one do you like best???

From top: Chloe, Donna Karan, Alexis Mabille, Amanda Wakeley, Andrew Gn, Huishan Zhang, Lela Rose, Vera Wang, and Nanette Lepore.

From the Closet: Feeling Spring-y

Zara pants and crop top, Rebecca Minkoff Dylan Tote, Karen Walker sunnies, Fallon earring, Michael Kors watch

I wanted to call this post “Winter White” but it felt oddly inappropriate since it’s full-on spring. Ever since the first sigs of spring, Zara has had the most amazing assortment of winter whites. I held out for as long as I could, but finally couldn’t resist this adorable crop, and then of course, had to justify buying the pants to go with. I’m looking forward to (hopefully) finding a winter white maxi to wear with this crop as well. Oh and a word on the bag….bought it for Brazil. It is the perfect travel companion. And it comes in an array of delicious colors!

From the Monthlies: With Animals

9 May

Kind of love these shots from Harper’s Bazaar, May 2013. Baby wild animals! Enough said. Oh yeah, the clothes look alright too.

 

From the Red Carpet: Met Ball 2013

7 May

The former sorority girl in me was delighted to learn that this year’s Met Ball came with a “Punk: Chaos to Couture” theme, and while some celebs were right on, it seems most of them were WAY off! So hats off to Christina Ricci for rocking punk queen Vivienne Westwood! Christina, you were perfection! Other theme appropriate favs: Sienna Miller (in Burberry), Cara Delevingne (also in Burberry), Sarah Jessica Parker (in Giles Deacon), Rosie Huntington Whiteley (in Gucci), and Karolina Kurkova (in Mary Katrantzou). Honorable mention to trainwrecks Nicole Richie and Miley Cyrus — at least they tried, even though the result was equal parts disaster and disgusting.

From the Internets: Denim and Denim and White

1 May

I am LOVING these shots from Net-a-Porter’s online magazine, The Edit. Reminds me how easy it is to dress up denim by adding a white blouse. And doesn’t Jessica Alba look amazing? Check out the clothes from Jessica’s shoot here.

Jumper and necklace from Anthropologie, Zara shoes

My ex-boyfriend was so funny. He’d find something he liked and he would buy it in three colors. I always used to tease him about his lack of variety, but he wouldn’t budge. It was his thing. While I’ve never bought more than one of anything, I’ve got my things too. The one piece/romper/jumper/overall is one of them. And you know this by now. I’ve said everything I need to say about it. Except this: Sorry, if I’ve bored you at this point. I just can’t help it. It’s my thing. If you aren’t bored, what do you think about this one??? Kind of amazing, right?

From the Monthlies: Rosie + Vogue Brazil

24 Apr

Summer has just ended in Brazil, so perhaps it’s inappropriate to be posting these shots from Vogue Brazil’s April 2013 issue, but I’m enamored. Whenever I travel abroad, I make sure to stock up on the foreign editions of my favorite fashion magazines. The only disappointing part about my new Brazil collection is that I don’t get the pleasure of reading them. But at least I can look at beautiful images like these. And get inspired for fall before summer has even arrived.

I’ve been a fan of the blue and gold color combination for as long as I can remember. And cobalt blue is still the “it” color that is showing no signs of disappearing anytime soon. i’m still trying to figure out if anyone looks bad in cobalt. Feels like a winner.
