Some of my faves so far… Loving the dresses, thigh-high boots, furs, oranges
I literally die for every piece of the Temperley London collection.
Everything Carolina Herrera
I also love Elie Tahari’s use of black & layering.

Wear This: Open/Low Back Wedding Dress
My whole thing with “showing back” as a great way to show skin and be sexy but still be modest continues over into Wedding dresses. Surprisingly, not many designers are doing it…so if you want to go for it, you don’t have THAT much to choose from, of course Monique Lhuillier is a master. I am over the idea of strapless as the only way to go. Honestly, 65% of the girls who wear strapless dresses on their big day probably shouldn’t have! (My opinion only). Again, I am only perusing wedding dresses because I LOVE WEDDING DRESSES. Not planning a wedding folks..
I adore this one, it’s statement necklace/demure/low back all in one but not too complicated!
This girl’s hair is throwing me off and I like the back more than the front
This feathery, fringed concoction is heaven
Embellished See-Thru Back
Seriously Low, but modest in front
Very Classic
Very hippy, love

White on White
I have always loved wearing white. Having lived in New Orleans, I do not abide by the “after labor day” rules and I wear variations of the shade all throughout the year. Although, it does look best with a tan…

New Obsession: Polyvore
have a new obsession almost daily. Today it’s Polyvore. I discovered the lovely website through one of my favorite blogs, Elements of Style. It’s basically an easy collage maker you build from websites. I’ve mostly focused on clothes but it’s oh-so-much-fun!
Yummy NOLA music in honor of Mardi Gras
Rebirth Brass Band!
Wear this: Open back dress
I am obsessed with backless dresses. I’m talking modern, not hoochie. Tailored, sophisticated, respectful in the front and peek-a-boo backs. Come on Spring!
Zoe Saldana

More V-Day Music
I’ve recently discovered Playlist.com and I really love it. I’m still trying to discover the catch. But…I haven’t yet. It’s really cool, a lot like the old imeem (may it rest). Anyway, I currently dig the Valentines day playlists! So fun!
