The Perfect Weekend Sweater

This Isabel Marant sweater is perfect for today in So Cal, it's sunny, no it's cloudy, no it's sunny again...I love it paired with the white pants and belt, so cute....I'm a Cali native and 2010 has been weather like none other, coldest summer ever, total fall heat wave, then crazy week long UNHEARD OF rainstorm then omg, it's 80 again, omg it's raining again, omg it's predicted back in the 80's next week for the first week in Nov.???  Crazy, I swear it's become a full on free for all...


P.S. I got to spend time with the lovely Brandi B. yesterday from Not Your Average Ordinary, this talented lady is a total foodie and created a blog to express this passion, Pizzelles.  She knows her stuff, she brought me some of her butternut squash soup and it was delicious, check it out!!

Refined Beauty

Amazing editorial from Elle Ukraine, such refined chic beauty with an air of mystery. The pictures themselves are incredible, that jacket is a dream (perfectly matched with the black gloves), the dress is completely divine and I wish I was wearing outfit #3 today!   It's shots and styling like this that makes me so completely fashion obsessed and tremendously grateful to be able to express it on the blog....

TGIF & Happy Halloween, everyone be safe this weekend and have fun!

Cozy Winter Cuteness

I don't know how warm this ensemble would actually keep one but it's soooo cute.

Glorious Glamour

This is the holiday party outfit of my dreams, go Anna!  The Vogue Nippon fashion director's styling skills are incredible to say the least.  Love the gold and silver mix, the hair and make-up are amazing and I'm totally in love with the jewels.

Rock And Roll

If you end up meeting a cool rock star and he asks you to go on the road here are some looks to throw together while hanging out with the band.  (This is the third time in two days I've crossed that Isabel Marant stripped sweater and sequined pant, maybe it's a sign they'll end up in my closet! )

Fall Beauty

 Sasha Pivovarova for Vogue Paris shot by Mikael Jansson, I absolutely love it.

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy ~ Icon

I was flooded with memories of Carolyn last Thursday after I took my blond hair to another level and realized it's very her.  She was my idol back in the day, her beauty, style and essence were the best I've seen.  I remember being in total shock when she, John Kennedy Jr. and her sister Lauren died in a plane crash in 1999, it was surreal and utterly tragic.  I miss her and was enchanted by her gorgeousness all over again while working with these photos, she truly was one of a kind and I don't think anyone since has taken the entire world's breath away.....

P.S. Hmm, I see this 90's style just above the ankle skirt length back in action in the near future.

J. Crew Holiday 2010

How cute are these dresses??  I'll take both please.  Happy Weekend, enjoy!

Burberry, Hot Pants & Thigh Highs

Together these pieces are so sexy I swear I wish I could wear this combo around my little beach town but that's probably not going to happen for a few reasons.  One being my 5'6 height most likely won't pull it off and two I wouldn't want to scare the locals but what I do know for sure is I will covet this glorious  jacket for months!

Modern China

This incredible shot is from Vogue China, she represents the modern fashionable chinese woman well...bold, gorgeous and sleek while still retaining a unique and mysterious essence.  The layering is amazing and I love the gold accessories although personally I couldn't pull off the earrings but I'll take the sunglasses in a heartbeat.

About Halloween...

Yesterday I said I should be thinking of a cool Halloween getup instead of holiday attire but the truth is I'm not a huge costume gal (sorry).  What I would love to wear is this gorgeous frock & wild neck piece, emulate the hair, paint on a black eye mask and be some sort of ghostly fashion spirit while passing out candy to the kiddies.

P.S.  I have to share about last Sat. night.  I was invited to attend a listening of some rough cuts by Dale Williams at my friend James' Poole St. Studios in La Jolla, Ca.  Dale's a professional musician who's a guitar master, he's played with top acts around the world and is now recording a solo album with some serious deep blues (and a few other tunes).  The songs were great and it was a pretty special night, when the album drops I'll let you know.

Holiday Fever

I so want this hair pom pom, it's screaming Happy Holidays!  I know I should be thinking of a cool Halloween getup but for some reason I've got Thanksgiving on the brain......

Paris Chic

Loving these street fashion photos taken during Paris Fashion Week, chic actually seems like an understatement, these style mavens are literally divine....

P.S.  Elle has a great personal style quiz on their site, I was a "classicist", modern yet edgy, one who loves smart blazers and sleek skirts, hmmm...sounds kinda familiar!  What are you?

For My Badass Followers

This one goes out to all those who loved the combat boots with the ball gown earlier in the week, even though I wasn't a fan I loved and appreciated that many of you were!  These shots by Mario Testino for Vogue back in 2009 are pretty badass to me. Daria looks amazing, I love her hair, the shirt vest, the belts, the jewelry and I want that gold jacket.


Happy Weekend.

Coco Rocha At Home

She's one of my favorite models and now I like her even more, what a home, this girl has some serious style!  I thought it was fitting to post this today since I've been thinking about how completely fashion obsessed I've become on the blog....it didn't start out this way but the personal styling side of me has taken over.  I do also love interior design and could not resist posting these pictures!  (She seems to be a serious military fan...)

Fabulous Jewels

It's been awhile since I've found jewelry that made me swoon, these pieces certainly did the job, even though we're only seeing 3/4 of them in their entirety it's enough for me to fall in love. The photos themselves by John Scarisbrick for Elle Sweden are gorgeous and the list of jewels I'm on the hunt for continues to grow. 


Gorgeous model: Anne Vyalisyna

Vogue UK October

Two fabulous sparkly black dresses and two chic slacker looks both long and short, love the options.  (I do have to say I'm not a fan of combat boots with gowns but that's just me.)

McQueen Part 2 (The Details)

I know I already posted about the collection but these photos are so insane that I thought you all might enjoy them as much as I did, seeing the fine details takes it to another level...
