Monday, April 25th, 2011

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Weekend! Last Friday, I was pretty tired so I thought I would take the weekend off from updating my blog but instead I stayed up all night looking for ideas, inspirations and working on my next post and I feel like I can’t relax at all. Do you guys feel anxious about not updating your blog? Do you think that having a blog can feel like a 24 hour job sometimes? I would love to know your thoughts? Love these three looks from Club Monaco Spring/Summer 2011!My favorite summer colors! These three outfits from California Select Vintage at American Apparel are so pretty!
Ever since I saw the Burberry spring summer 2011 collection, I wanted to put a belt on my dresses, sweaters, jackets, everything!

From left to right: Black Stichy Maxi Dress $72.00, Black Crochet Maxi Dress $80.00, Black layered Maxi Dress $58.00Tommy on Anna: She’s someone who loves fashion, and if you’re someone who adores her and loves fashion, she’s more than willing to stop and take a photo, or just talk to you. Last season in London there was this six-foot tranny with a blow-up wig or something. I said to her, go up and talk to the tranny. She said, “OK—why not?” That’s her favorite line. “Why not?”

Anna on  Tommy: “He has incredible eyes for details. That’s a talent as a fashion photographer. To emphasize what you see. The crop has to be perfect. I like him because I always say you are like a shark. When you see people dressing, when you see fashion, it is like food for you. You are like a shark that is like chomp chomp chomp, eating food. I call him passive-aggressive, because he looks really…sweet, but he has this incredible aggressivity”.

I love this interview between Anna Dello Russo and Tommy  Ton!Wishing you day full of possibilities! xxoxooxxoo

Morning Ritual

Monday, April 18th, 2011

I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! When I was making this post today, I was thinking about how other bloggers find ideas for their blog, especially if you blog often. Do you find it hard? Do you find it easy? I usually write down what I want to post for the week so that I don’t forget. But there are times where I just stare at my computer. Do you plan your posts in advance? Do you post on a whim? I would love to know! I like to imagine I’m waking up in my boyfriend’s oversized shirt and boxers! I think it’s very sexy! 1.Bruce II / Silk Button Front Blouse $380.00 (lagarconne.com) 2. Aerie Floral Boxer $11.62 (American Eagle Outfitters)Two of my favorite photos from an editorial called “Young Romantics” by Chelsea Millunchick. What I love most about is what Chelsea said about the story: “ This story is about young romantics, and that feeling you get when you first fall in love. It’s that special moment when two lovers first share this secret together and they feel as if they are the only two people alive in the world. It’s a wonderful sense of freedom and invincibility. Love is full of happy, quiet and intimate moments and it was important for me to capture all of these emotions”. I love both but the one from Etsy is just as cute and affordable!
