A Walk in the Park

I’m loving this spread with the gorgeous hair, textures and furs. It reminds me of the kind of weather we can look forward to. Lots of barren trees but green poking through everywhere.

Animal Print is a Neutral

My oh my this is my kind of editorial. Bold colors, big hair, gloves, fur, cinched waists and of course animal print. My mom always used to tell me that animal print went in and out but I don’t think it’s going anywhere! As the Man Repeller says, animal print is a neutral in my opinion. I also want to address socks with sandals. I think I need a full post for that. Enjoy!

Top Knot Tutorial

Lately I have been really into topknots, buns, chignons (a la @OscarPRGirl below) and have been looking around for relevant instructions. The easiest way I’ve found is to either use a hair piece or place a clip around your pony tail and wrap the hair around that to make it fatter. I still haven’t grasped the whole teasing concept.

I’ve found two helpful instructions for you (and me). From Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere here and below from NWA’s own Anna of TulipLouise and StyleBy.Me.

I’m hoping to add my own eventually!

Bridal Inspiration {Parties}

Now that I have THE DRESS, I can focus on  the dresses (among other things) that I will hopefully wear to parties here and there. I love the idea of the bride wearing a chic white dress to all the engagements she attends. Here are some inspiring dresses…

Lanvin Alice + Olivia Etoile Isabel Marant Milly Narciso Rodriguez Richard Nicoll Shirt Sandro Halston Heritage Versace Jason Wu Antonio Berardi Valentino 

This one is the ultimate…

Diane K. Lovelier than ever.

I can’t get enough of the gorgeous Diane Kruger, I love her easy, effortless style. She never shows too much skin. She has an adorable boyfriend that has definitely upped his style game. And she styles herself…

I saw some outtakes from Natalie Portman’s Miss Dior Cherie campaign and I had to share. I find her to be very intriguing and (of course) gorgeous.

Just a dreamy little villa in Siena, Tuscany. Will you be mine?

Visions of Vacation

With no vacation in sight (honeymoon? too far away) and two feet of snow on the ground, indulge me as I daydream.
