awkward/fierce family photos

ummm... all the kardashians are looking fierce in their christmas photo. but it still gives me the feeling that it should be in the "awkward family photos" album. just saying.

hello weekend

[image source unknown]

doesn't she look fierce? i don't know her. i forgot where this picture came from. but this is my inspiration for the weekend.

refinery 29 did a hilarious piece on how to become a famous fashion blogger. check it out.

also, have you checked out boutiques.com?!? i foresee it becoming highly addictive. leave it to google to maximize a shopping experience.

IMPROVD yourself

Valentino Vettori and Sam Ben-Avraham are the genius behind the IMPROVD line. this line really speaks to me. luxurious fabrics, simple but chic cuts, and a slew of garments all in the gray/neutral family. i adore gray, charcoal, slate, you name it. i'm a fan of drab, which this line certainly is not. just throwing on one of these pieces will def get you noticed for all the right reasons.

all those leather jackets are so yummy, no? perfect amount of tough-chic-cool. go check out their website for more pictures and read their inspirational blog. i'm excited for their spring/summer line. fingers crossed for delicate, sheer fabrics.

statement bags

imagine your reaction to this on the street. crazy advertising on bags.

i got my kicks. or at least wish i got my kicks.

i'm on an lanvin kick. and i want these kicks.

lanvin

it is no secret i love lanvin. i really, really want the "happy" bag for christmas. i know it's old news lanvin is collaborating with H&M. curses there are no H&M in south florida. perhaps i need to make the trip to orlando sometime soon.

really feeling this fun pink necklace from the collaboration. and i am not a "pink" girl.

how gorgeous is that "happy" bag? truly makes me happy. 

edit: new store opened up in west palm beach! happy dance!

i solemnly swear i am up to no good

i am obsessed with both harry potter and alexander mcqueen. french designer, Jany Temime, swears she didn't knock off this mcqueen dress circa 2008 for the upcoming movie. i smell lies. Jany needs some veritaserum.

october, may you be filled with more updates

paris fashion week. maybe parisian women are just born with a sense of style. or maybe there is some thing in the water in paris that make women look effortlessly chic. either way, i am obsessed.

i sometimes remember to take pictures

with the start of september, i'm trying to get all my floral-fix in. decided to do an outfit post since i haven't done one in forever...

chanel khaki

i'm a sucker for nail polish. i wear practically only neutrals and like to experiment with my nails. this is my current obsession, said to be released at chanel retailers on sept 10.

the issue.

september is just around the corner, so naturally the magazine issues are already on the stands. vogue is of course a staple. check out this post from refinery 29 where i got this post inspiration. with magazine subscriptions to three out of the four magazines featured, i will definitely have enough reading material for at least the first week.

of course i love elle's cover girl the most. n'uff said. even though they are all amazing ladies. but, i am looking forward to elle's justin beiber/kim kardashian spread. 

did anyone watch eat, pray, love? i watched it with mah mama. we both read the book. it was okay. but perhaps i just had such high expectations because i loved the book oh-so-much. 

i'm back! ... hopefully.

i actually scored a job offer from my internship! so yay for being employed! dear readers, oh how i wish i could devote more time to blogging. i promise to try harder. here are more fall lusts a la shopbop:

alexander wang cowl neck sweater. i'm such a sucker for a.wang. 

a. wang sydney backpack. this makes me almost want to go back to school.

a. wang diego bucket bag. i already own the rocco duffel... but i love this one as well! 

elizabeth and james safari stripe laurent dress. just so casual cool. 

kain label pocket tee. cause everyone needs a slouchy white tee.

pamela love's single picado necklace. it's tough-looking, and i like to pretend i'm tough.
