I have a serious crush on Natalia Vodianova, the stunning, effervescent, versatile, Russian-model, mother of three, princess beauty. See more at Elle UK’s style file.

Skirting the Issue
I’m ashamed to admit that I watched the season premiere of Keeping up with the Kardashians on Sunday. I’m usually against Kim’s style choices for one reason (she wears too much make-up) or another (her clothes are too tight) but Sunday, I really liked the outfit she wore for her house party. I couldn’t find a photo of it but here is the link. She wore a structured top with a short full skirt. It got me in the mood for skirts and I’ve found some cute ones, all under $100 of course…

Stamp of Approval
I’m in the market for a return address stamp (which I’ve always wanted). There are plenty of cute options on Etsy but I’m having so much trouble deciding! Any thoughts? All the examples are linked to sources.
A lovely afternoon

Hot, Hot, Hot
The second night in a row without air conditioning and I feel like a crazy person. I am officially ready for cooler weather!

Monday, Monday
Ready or not, Monday arrives every week. This week, I was not quite prepared. “One more day,” I seem to always plead with no one in particular. Thoughts of going back to bed and the beach (two weeks!) are filling my head but in the meantime, my to-do list must be attended to…Here’s hoping your weekend was wonderful and your week has gotten off to a great start.

Inspired by Fall & The Beach
I am quite literally captivated by Lara Stone and her versatility. I barely recognized her in this editorial. More images of Lara in Fashion Inspiration.

Favorite Things: Christine Centenera
A while back, I posted a Vanessa Jackman picture of Christine Centenera. I really like her style…effortlessly chic, daring, fun. Jak & Jil featured her favorite things and they are drool-worthy.
