It all starts with a kiss…

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

As a self-confessed Disney addict, I was excited to see this photo spread from Annie Leibowiz’s take on Disney classics with celebrities. Penelope Cruz and Jeff Bridges as Beauty and the Beast.Jessica Biel as Pocahontas.Gisele Bundchen and Mikhail Baryshnikov as Wendy and Peter Pan and Tiny Fey as Tinkerbell. Which one is your favorite? You can see more pictures here.J’adore this Anthropologie dress. (Quiet Blush Dress $168.00)My favorite bikini to wear this summer!  Free People Crochet Bikini Top $64.00Left to right: 1. Motel Indigo Denim Long Leg Playsuit $120.00 2. Cheap Monday Tabitha Suede Overalls $168.00 (Nastygal Vintage) 3. Carin Wester $98.00 (Pixie Market). Have you guys seen overalls suddenly everywhere? I’m not sure if I want to rock this look. I prefer the half version with thin straps like the one from Carin Wester.

I leave you with this adorable video about models sharing their first kiss experience. My first kiss came very, very late…when I was 18 from my first boyfriend in college. It was very romantic..he asked me out under a starry sky and kissed me with a big hug. What about you?

Don’t  forget to kiss someone you love today! xxoxoxoxoo
