Princess Catherine Duchess of Cambridge
This was HRH The Duchess of Cambridge’s ultimate style moment. Throughout her engagement the public has gotten to know Kate on a more personal level through her style choices: what laid back outfit she decides to wear shopping on King’s Road for instance or what Burberry trench coat she will wear to her next public appearance. Clothing is very much a part of how we get to know the...
Timeless Beauty: Princess Diana
A women of great poise, elegance, and boundless kindheartedness. Her bold fashion sense was not the only thing that grabbed the public’s attention. It was also her charitable work for children of the third-world and her involvement in the ban against the use of mines that made her the most beloved princess. She is truly a timeless beauty both inside and out.

Black and White Doesn't Always Mean Simplistic
Stephane Rolland Haute Couture S/S 2011 collection is far from being classified as simple. Despite the basic neutral colors of black and white, the collection has just the right amount of...
Update Of What My Favorite Gap-Tooth Models Are...
I posted a while back about how I love Georgia May Jagger and Lara Stone. Here is what Georgia May is up to. She is featured in May’s UK Harper’s Bazaar looking absolutely gorgeous! That gap fits her so well! Below is fellow gap-tooth and english model Lara Stone in this month’s US Vogue. Funny how they make Lara Stone out to be such a California blond in that photo! Regardless...
Fashion Finds Inspiration in Alfred Hitchcock's...
I get so excited when today’s fashion finds its inspiration from the past, in this case a movie made almost fifty years ago. The first photo I found in a magazine that came out this March. The second photo is from Bottega’s new ad campaign. The third picture is from french magazine French Revue de Modes. And of course the last...
Russian Vogue April 2011
The contrast between the structured black oriental-inspired hat with the sherbet-colored feminine ruffling of her top is just exquisite. Not to mention I’d die for those lips! The picture reminds me of Parisian Haute Couture of the 1940s. I just adore this photo.
I think I just need to buy fuschia lipstick.
Cambridge Satchel Company
I’ve been seeing these bags around London lately. It’s a UK company but I just went to Urban on Oxford Street and saw that they were picked up by them! I’m not sure if they are sold the states though. The small ones sell for £92 and the larger ones sell for £108. I’m digging them though!

One Girls' Dream Another Girl's Reality
Take a look inside Khloe Kardashian’s shoe closet photographed by Elle magazine. It is absolutely insane! She has the most impressive closet Louboutin heels! The spread looks like a exhibit at a museum. Hard to believe that’s her actual house being photographed. I love the Marilyn Monroe photo and her jeweled out phone. Very mod Khloe!

Chanel for Elle
I can’t put into words how much I love this cover! I think its absolutely brilliant how simplistic and fresh it is and brings me hope that models will return to the covers of fashion magazines and not just in the fashion spreads. There is so much glamour to this cover and I love that its all in pink, pink, and pink!! The hottest color of the spring season in which Chanel is wearing the...
Playboy Launches New Club in London
The bunny costume is returning but more stylish than ever! Marchesa is designing the new costume for the Playboy Club that will be opening in London June 4! I know its anti feminist to say but I really want to go! I know the women won’t be as elegant as they once were in the 1950s, but it could be interesting! Check out the costume sketch!

Sheer Genius
This was taken at Paris Fashion Week back in March but I just found it. I thought sheer material could only be pulled off at night but I was seriously mistaken. She looks absolutely stunning in this sheer asymmetric dress. It looks effortless and something she just threw on after getting out of bed but at the same time looks completely well thought out. Amazing. And I think those are the winter...
Life in the 1970s
So lately I’ve been pretty caught up in the 1960s early 1970s. Its a period of unprecedented change in America that always seemed to catch my attention hence why I’m focusing my history degree on that time period. It was a moment of violence, protest, of challenging the Establishment, not trusting anyone over the age of 30, “dropping out,” participating in the Human Be-ins...
Flash back to Woodstock? Coachella 2011
It’s that time of year again when people unite under the power of music and love. What’s so great about music festivals is that its not only a celebration of music but a celebration of independence, non-conformity, and individuality. These bands inspire people to be themselves and not be ashamed to be different. Festivals like Coachella also inspire fashion. It’s also a moment...
NYC Circa 1970
I came across this photo on one of my favorite blogs, refinery29. It’s a photo taken in New York City circa 1970. Look at all the movie theaters there were! I’m actually quite shocked! But how much do you love the vintagy feel of this photo (and those bell bottom pants on that man to the left!!)
