Looking Forward to Fall

2 Comments
Ok. Officially. It is too hot. I’ve given up hope that it will ever cool down. I’m thinking we will have to bring sweats and leggings to Italy where the high is a balmy 82 and the low is a frigid 60. If fall ever comes, here are a few things I look forward to wearing.

ONE MONTH TO GO

1 Comment

I’m slightly freaking out. Our wedding is officially one month away! I would be lying if I said I wasn’t stressed. I AM. I had no idea how many details there would be. But, I have to say I am more ecstatic than I am stressed. Granted things will go wrong, but I get to be with the sweetest guy I’ve ever met, everyone I love is coming to celebrate and then it’s off to the beach. What could be better?

60s Inspired Bangs

After an inner conversation with myself, I decided a hair chop is not something I am ready to do. Ro concurs. So I’ve become enthralled with the idea of cutting 60s-inspired bangs like Julia Stegner’s post wedding. Like?

Heidi Klum’s Lifestyle Site

Miranda and Me

Heidi K has launched a lifestyle website for AOL among the many other things she’s involved in. She does things like a summer run challenge (running with different super models: Miranda Kerr, Coco Rocha et al) and daily outfit postings. The Cut calls it 1/2 Goop, 1/2 Oprah and I think she’s likable so I’m not too judgmental.
PS: I ran yesterday and it was a pathetic, pitiful sight. Maybe I need to run behind Miranda Kerr to get me motivated.

Or am I alone here? We all knew how good Kate would look in jeans but just the whole visual of them in rodeo gear makes me laugh. Check out the full gallery at the fug girls.

Natalia’s Split

Natalia Vodianova

My favorite model-mom Natalia Vodianova admitted her split from husband Justin Portman. It made me so sad because I have always thought they were particularly adorable. The story here.  Cute pictures of happier times below…

Happy July!

I hope you enjoy every second of your holiday weekend. It’s always good to remember the freedoms and privileges we are afforded because we live in America – even with it’s faults. I begin to feel that summer is in full force when the 4th comes around, and I never fail to wonder where June has gone.

While I was in Hot Springs this weekend, I unearthed a stash of pictures from long ago. Even at three I loved to accessorize. It was wonderful to look through these, it brought back lovely  memories and reminded me that I’ve always enjoyed dressing. Sometimes the past can lead you into your future in unexpected ways.

She is quite lovely to look at, no? Elle Fanning is about to take Hollywood by storm at the tender age of 13. There are few girls blessed with this sort of beauty in junior high school, but I believe she is one. I love her look, both in these editorials and on the red carpet. I think both she and her sister, Dakota, have long careers ahead of them.
