A Vogue Inspired Post

In the back of June Vogue, there were a few featured models (namely Gemma Ward, Hilary Rhonda, Sasha Pivovarova, Raquel Zimmerman, Caroline Trentini and Coca Rocha. But where is Daria??) I really liked the article because they were asked questions about their travels and I thought it was really interesting.

Just a side note, there were a lot of other pictures and everything that were in the article but it would have just taken up wayy to much room in the post. but check them out because they are great pics.




And just to amuse, I thought I'd make one for myself and I included some of my favorite questions. I'm sorry if some of the pictures didn't turn out very well, it's cloudy today and I was trying to take pictures in my room!








While I'm on the subject of travelling, I was browsing through the May issue of Instyle (one of my favorite magazines) with Jennifer Garner on the cover and I came across this cute short article on carry-ons. It pretty much left me drooling over practically all the bags they featured (I mean give me that black Chanel bag). Well here is the article in case you wanted to read it (if you would like to read the text, just click on it and it'll enlarge itself).


My pick for a carry-on.

Summer Serge Day Bag by Boyy $335
I really like this one because a) you can carry it 2 ways: as a tote bag or as a messenger kind of bag across your chest (which is great when you are wheeling a lot of stuff) b) there is a zipper compartment at the bottom if you want to put your books or magazines in and c) looks very chic (navy + white anyone?).

My pick for a suitcase.


Longchamp 22" Wheelie Suitcase $262 at www.magnums.net
Longchamp makes such nice handbags and suitcases! I love how all their stuff is made from nylon so it is water resistant it also has a ton of pockets!

Anyways, next topic...

So I was thinking about doing a new thing with posts on the weekend. I was going to feature a clothing item, an accessory of some sorts, a shoe and a picture for each week. Here it is. But I kind of need some feedback about whether you like it or not... (and I obviously added a few more things in each category since I may not be able to post in a while)

Week's clothing obsession:

Express Cotton Shorts $40
This are just so crazy cute! The zebra pattern in hot pink is so adorable and the gold detailing on it makes it even better!


Secrets of Charm Ingrid Dress $270


Rugby French Terry 3/4 Sleeve Top by Splendid $104


Lux Indio Embroidered Skirt $58

Week's accessory addiction:

Moyna Clutch $189


Glenda Shimmer Bangle at Urban Outfitters $16


Fulham Lattice Earrings $64

Week's shoe must have:

Shellys London Fiji Thong $40
Remind you of a similar Marc Jacobs line??


Oh Deer! Santorini Flat $125


Faryl Robin Joy $149

Week's best photo:

ah Daria... haha

Week's Best Dressed:

Charlize Theron


Hillary Duff

Emily Blunt

Finally, last thing I promise. Does anyone else think that the metallic trend for nails is cool? Because I really can't decide... too star trek or neutral and pretty?



OK, so this is going to be my last post for a while (actually precisely about a month) because I am going away to camp for pretty much all of July. So unfortunately, no posting for me and I'm not going to be able to return comments! Sorry that it's been kind of back to back vacations... but I'm not going to leave you guys with nothing to read so hopefully this monstrous post that will last the whole month. Well I hope so at least because I spent a long time on it! Happy July, talk to you in August! (or rather blog with you)

It seems as if P&G may be getting inspired...

So I was looking online the other day and I came across these Juicy Couture flats...well I am like 99% sure that they took the idea of having the medallion on the toe from Tory Burch's line of footwear. Which I am a little- hm- how shall I say it? miffed? Because the Tory Burch ones are way cuter and for the most part less expensive (and she should have like had a patent put on the things because now everyone is copying the idea of having the elastic-backed flat for fall) Check it out- see the similarity?


Parker Flat by Juicy Couture $250
And don't think I'm trying to be mean but in my opinion, they put the little gold thingy way too far away from the toe. I mean it may look way different when it's actually on someone's foot but it does look quite awkward and a little off center in this picture don't you think?


Reva Flat by Tory Burch $195
Much better in all aspects.


Just as a side note- while I was looking on the Tory Burch website (www.toryburch.com) I saw this cool new addition to her line of flats! And since I am such a big fan I really wanted to post them!


Glitter Infused Reva Ballet Flat $275
Hmm...I don't know quite what to say about these except that they are very festive.

Just as a side note- I thought I'd just include a few of my favorite looks from her Spring 2007 and Fall/Winter 2007 show because I was just so impressed by them!

Spring 2007:





So sad but for some reason I could only bring myself to post one outfit from her fall/winter show. Even though all the clothes were absolutely gorgeous and you totally need to check out the collection at style.com, I really just can't even think about fall clothes because that means it's going to get cold again and I am such a fan of warm weather and going to the beach and being able to wear tank tops and shorts and skirts and...well you get the picture.

However this outfit does look quite nice. I am absolutely lusting after that camel coat paired with those boots...

And I was just looking online the other day and I found this adorable (if not overpriced) little clutchy thingy that I think is absolutely adorable! I probably will not be purchasing this one but I plan on looking out for a similar one in the future!

Mimi Small Cinched Satchel by Kooba $295
But aren't you just loving the metallic detail and everything on it?

Channeling Larry King

So I was just randomly looking online yesterday and I found this outfit that (weirdly) reminded me of Larry King and his suspenders...I'm not sure if this is some revived trend (i.e. leggings) but I'm really into it


Suspender Shorts by Lauren Moffatt $277


Larry King


I just thought that I would include this cute little bag in here. In addition to red, it also comes in black and white.

Bonnie Bag by Kooba $295



Finally, Timbaland's new album "Shock Wave" is out and I'm usually not a big fan of rap music but one song on it is really good. It's called "Give it to me" and it features Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake. Amazing combination.

Pretty Patent

A major trend for spring and summer is patent leather. This trend shows up in versatile handbags, belts and shoes...enjoy!
