Morning Glory

I woke up at 6:18 this morning - that's quite early for me.  I guess I could have gone back to sleep for another hour or so but instead I decided to get in some early morning inspiration via The Sartoialist and Yvan Rodic...

Shit now I'm going to be late!  Alright one last note - words to live by:

 Note sure where I found this last photo - sorry for the lack of credit...

Pre-Fall 2011 Favorites

Givenchy - Riccardo Tisci has created a strong Pre-Fall Collection of wearable pieces that will entice the tomboy and the divine lady in us all.  Sadly Givenchy is slightly out of my price range!  But the styling here can be easily interpreted.  On a side note - can you imagine a collaboration with Givenchy and H&M?  I would actually wait in line at 4am for that Collection.

The final outfit...

  Do you ever think to yourself: 'if I could only wear one outfit forever...'  Well I never have.  Because I'm a clothes whore.  Buuut when I saw this picture of Giovanna B. on The Satorialist - the first thing that came to my mind was 'if I had to only wear one outfit forever it would be this...'  Don't ask me exactly why - I just love the ease of her dress, the shape of her boots, the stack of silver bangles, and her free flowing hair.  My final outfit.  What would your final outfit be?

Kate Moss - The Singer?

Kate Moss is reportedly set to record her first music album - Would you listen?  I would - it's Kate Moss for fucks sake - she can do no wrong.

 

 

Holiday Stuffing Inspirations

I don't know about you, but I have no self control over the holidays.  It started when we were in Mexico (margaritas and cervazas), then I was in Montreal (warm croissants!), then my birthday (dinner at my fave french restaurant), and well then Christmas!  So you can imagine, my jeans are a bit snug...Ok they're tight goddammit!  So until I start seeing results from the Pilates/Yoga membership M got me for Christmas (honestly the best present ever!), I need ideas on layering until I shed those extra pounds!  These ladies certainly don't need to shed any pounds, but their layering looks fantastic.

Voila! A Simple Turban

The other day I was looking for a square scarf to do the DIY I saw on The Man Repeller.  I could not find one but I did re-find this circle scarf I bought a few months back for $1 at Wal-Mart! I haven't worn it as a scarf yet (I find it a bit too skinny and I like my scarves full and chunky)  anyways I decided to play around with wrapping it around my noggin - Voila - A Turban!  

 Only one step: just take a circle scarf and start wrapping a twisting the fabric around your head until you can`t wrap it anymore - adjust accordingly.  Every time I wrap it around my head it turns out a bit different. Pretty simple and if you live in the cold this definitely keeps your head warm :)

Fringe Me

Yesterday I was not feeling well - actually it was Friday night that I felt like shit and ended sleeping for 14hrs.  Apparently I needed it cause I feel much better today.  Anyways I did venture out yesterday afternoon to pick up some laundry detergent and Egg Nog and had the sudden inspiration to walk into a salon and get my fringe cut.  Kinda random!  It's definitely been quite some time since I've had a fringe - but I needed a change.

There is no place like home

 M and I just returned home for our amazing 2 week holiday in Mexico.  The sun and sand felt amazing!  We traveled around to several different towns; Sayulita, San Pancho, Chacala, Punta de Mita, Puerto Vallarta and Yalapa!  Wow looking at this it seems like we did a lot!  I have to admit though as much as I love traveling - I love coming home.  Is that weird?  It's true what Dorothy said  'There is no place like home'  :)
