Lustin'

I am currently lustin' over these fabulous, rocker-chic booties. I have no idea what brand they are, or how much they cost, all I know is that I want them on my feet as soon as possible.

Sigh.

To fade, or not to fade ...

Christina Scarpelli Autumn/Winter 2010 campaign

The first photograph, really blew my away. I loved it.
Not only is she beautiful and captivating in this image but the color filter in this photograph gives an air of illusion, a softness that makes the photo pretty much perfect.

But then, I get to the rest of the photos.
I'm sorry I am not a fan of these at all. What is up with that white fade? Ugh. It looks terrible!
What a shame, really, because Sarah Bledsoe is such a beautiful girl and the photographs are very well shot. Even the sepia colored filters look great and the styling is right on target, its provocative and light. It's amazing. That fade though, that horrible white fade. I can't get over it. It really ruins the photos for me.

Crazy how one design element can ruin a good thing. What do you think?

It's Never Too Early

I strongly believe that it's never too early to wear leather and lace. When coordinated correctly, the magic of leather and lace can be worn at all hours of the day, any day. For example, the leather pencil skirt can be oh-so-sexy, but subtle enough to be worn to work. However, when paired with ruby red lips, fishnet hosiery and sky-high stilettos ... you have a whole other outfit.

On another note, Bloomingdale's has launched: "Fall Style Guide: The Plus Edition," with leading lady Crystal Renn. It's a fall collection of name brands aimed towards the full sized woman. I must say that it is quite fantastic, nothing like the usual plus sized attire out there, these are truly chic outfits. Check it out, its got some pretty great styling.

Clean Cut + Chic

I am in lust with Zara's Fall 2010 lookbook! With all those coats, simple cuts and classic colors, it is indeed something to look at. Comprised of pieces that work well for today's working ladies, these looks can easily transform from casual work attire, to a girlish weekend look or a look for a night out with the girls. Everything is so clean cut and chic, I can guarantee that at least one of these items will become a go-to item for the rest of the year.

What I Want Right Now ...

I adore the colors, the coats, the big buttons, accessories and the beautiful patterns. Fall can't come soon enough!
