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:

Jessica Alba


Charlize Theron


Hillary Duff


Nicole Richie


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)

Shopaholic's Summer Shopping List

The title pretty much says it all...


Flap handbag by Gerard Darel about $270
My favorite new handbag! I love these things, they are roomy and are slouchy (I tried to find a picture that demonstrated this but couldn't). Adorable! (P.S. Gerard Darel is a French designer and his bags are a lot more expensive over here in the states so I suggest that you try buying them off of a legit French website becaue once you convert euro to dollar, you'll save quite a bit of money. Take this from someone who learned their lesson.)


Outsiders Wayfarer Sunglasses by Ray-Ban $100
I've really been meaning to pick up a pair of these classics.


Reva Ballerina Flat by Tory Burch $195
These are so cute and comfortable! Not to mention they come in the prettiest colors ever! (P.S. these shoes are like the best sellers for spring and I barely got my hands on my pair but if you're interested, order them off of www.toryburch.com instead of a department stores websites because of their long long long waiting lists)


Beach Mini Skirt by Sanctuary $98
Nothing exciting, just a cute mini


Shirt Dress with Rosette Slip by Rebecca Taylor $415
Probably not going to buy this one (out of my budget) but I am definitley going to be on the lookout for something similar. I love the slip underneath with the flowers (or rosettes or whatever they call them now)


Navajo Thong by Jack Rogers $85
I seriously live my life in these shoes. I have like 4 pairs and the more I wear them, the more comfortable they become. Not to mention they come in about 15 colors and shades!


Teardrop Gem Necklace by Gorjana $105
This necklace is just so simple and cute!


Small Shoulder Buckle Bag exclusively at Urban Outfitters $28
Cute, small and affordable bag for going out at night


Waldo String Bikini by Ella Moss $106
Here bikinis are as cute as her clothes! (as if they could get any cuter)


Surf Spray by Bumble and Bumble $28
Perfect for those natural looking curls and/or waves that you always have at the beach but can never achieve at home. A favorite of Molly Sims.


Wire Wrap Hoop Earrings by Gara Danielle $92
Love these because you can wear them with so many colors!


Low V Empire Waist Dress by Splendid $122
I love the ruching under the bust and besides, you can never go wrong with Splendid.


Croquet Patchwork Madras Short by Jcrew $60
Perfect for just about anything. I just picked out one pair from jcrew because I didn't want it to be like overload but check out their website because they have some really cute stuff this season. Very very nice


Leather Jazz Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell $88
I really like the style of these shoes. I see Kirsten Dunst and Kate Bosworth wearing similar sytles all the time.
