Quick Fix

I had an entirely different post in mind for today but scrapped it because I am all sorts of in love with this photo of Monika Sawicka in Pulp. I just needed to put it up asap.

Gisele x 4

(I apologize for the photo size. I tried making them bigger but they got all fuzzy : / )

Gisele gets to be all glammed up and get all dressed down for her 4 different covers of Vogue Brazil July. My favorites would have to be narrowed down to the second and third covers...or maybe the third and fourth? I'll have to think about that one some more.

Which of Gisele's covers is your favorite?

Monochrome

Perfect examples of just how much a single color can do in this editorial with Elena Melnik for Vogue Russia.

Rhoda

Hilary Rhoda at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball last week in Aldo shoes - a perfect high/low combination. She gets bonus points for that pedicure too.

Summer Day

An appropriate editorial for the first official day of summer, no?

An Excuse As Good As Any

Some force in the universe must have realized that as of lately I was actually feeling pretty content with my wardrobe and therefore decided to put into my head that looking at Topshop would be a good idea because me not being bored with my clothes is so unusual that it might just mess with the polar tilt or something...

...I was so close to being satisfied too.

That universal force must know my weakness for tassels, and leopard, and ruched sleeves, and stripes...and all things that can generally be found at Topshop. I think I should just take it as a sign and buy this stuff. Don't you think?

Lily And In Color

Love the fun use of color and texture in this editorial of Lily for Muse

Resort Roundup Pt. 2

Pucci

Brightly colored suits, sequins, and of course, plenty of prints were all a part of Pucci's resort collection. It isn't what I was expecting from Peter Dundas. Honestly, I was expecting more as the collection seemed a bit toned down with the exception of a few pieces...however, that doesn't mean I'm not satisfied! The coral dress alone has me drooling.

Gucci

When I first saw the preview of this collection a few weeks ago, I'll just say I was less than thrilled. From the looks I saw the only positive was the use of metallics, because lord knows I love me some gold, but when it came to the rest I found it boring. Now I can report a change of heart after seeing the entire collection. Yes, I still think some of the looks looked a little...old, but for the most part I found the looks to be quite sleek, and I'm still in love with the red and purple color block combination.

Nina Ricci

Pops of coral, lilac, and seafoam green were mixed in with blush tones and neutrals amongst ruffles and lace details to create one of my favorites this season. This 1950s-inspired collection can be described quite easily. It only takes two words: simply perfect.

Resort Roundup

Acne

Acne played with volume to jazz up their clean, straight lines in this collection. However all that volume was a bit tricky, especially in one look where the model was one shopping cart away from looking like a crazed homeless woman. Fortunately, the majority of the looks were styled simply and to perfection. Count me in as a fan.

Rebecca Minkoff

We all love Rebecca Minkoff, don't we? I'm not sure how anyone could not! Easy and wearable, the collection was obviously 70s-inspired with a bit of urban edge thrown in as the looks went on in the form of leather jackets layered over scalloped hem lace dresses and shorts. I don't think I need to go on much about this one. Its wonderful.

Anna Sui

Anna had me on the fence this time. I found some of the looks to be just a little too much when it came down to the prints. While others seemed a little too "prairie home companion", which I have been able to get behind in past seasons when it comes to Ms. Sui, but with the exceptions of the looks above, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get on board this season. So, I had to go back and forth through photos to make up my mind and decided that thanks solely to the printed shorts and drop waist dress below...I like it overall. But just barely!

Week In Review

Thakoon, Marc Jacobs, Ports 1961

Happy weekend everyone! I may not be in school anymore (nor do I have a job or anything) but I definitely still think in terms of the 5 day week! So, now that its the weekend I'm going to take a cue from Kickette and wrap up this week pros & cons style.

BAD WEEK:
- College Orientation Pt. 1- the first day was a disaster. An exhausting, miserable disaster that left me rethinking my entire life
- Blog Business- having to be polite to this bitch for months only to find out the chick doesn't have a single clue nor knows what taking responsibility means. Long story short I got screwed over. Should've called her out sooner...if only.
- Bipolar Weather- thunderstorms and a 40 degree drop over night. Somebody tell Mother Nature its summer, please.

GOOD WEEK:
- College Orientation Pt. 2- a combination of getting my test scores and the best schedule ever for next year left me on a high for the day. Totally done with all that rethinking business
- Catching Up- going over Resort 2012 collections one after the other. Reviews to come
- Little Things- mango-scented nail polish and watching Angry Boys. 'Nuff said.
-Music To My Ears- bought my ticket for Pitchfork--->* Hey Mirela!
-Futbol Fix- Euro Under-21 kicked off today! I'm kind of neutral since none of the countries of my ethnic origins made it : /...so I'm rooting for England for my boys Smalling and Welbeck!
-Money In The Bank- had my grad party today, you know what that means...gettin $$$

Now look at that. Good outweighs the bad : )
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

* - everybody else ignore that

Heavenly

These stunning photos of Carola Remer in Vogue Japan are here in place of the last post that I saved as a draft early this morning. Why is that post not here? Well, Blogger apparently likes to mess with you and say it saved your post and then when you log back in hours later it likes to act as if you had never typed such a thing! Lame. My Resort 2012 reviews will have to wait because now I'm just too lazy. Honestly though I don't care all that much, mostly thanks to the fact that I really love this editorial! If only I could just wrap myself up in feathers like the last photo. Oh, that would be nice...

New

A little, mini-haul from Forever 21 and two striped knotted tops from Nordstrom.

Now that I've finally bought some lightweight knits, a sheer button down, and thankfully solved my problem of somehow having zero pairs of shorts...I'm feeling summer-ready.

A Life In Style

Alla Kostromicheva for H&M Magazine

Is it just me or does H&M always come up with the prettiest editorials? This one especially happens to be bringing out my inner escapist. It may not be groundbreaking stuff, but from the colors to the setting, it is just so appealing to the eye!
