I’m not sure but I think I want to embrace the runway white eyeliner trend. See below on Jac – the “top model” of Paris Fashion week.
I really want to do it. It’s so glam and yet ethereal? Where does one find white eyeliner?

PS: If you haven’t already, check out the Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce “Telephone” video. It made me want to break out in dance in my cube.
I also love The Cut’s fashion analysis, check it out here. Happy Friday!
NY Mag’s blog The Cut asks this question “So are curves really back?” in reference to Louis Vuitton’s Paris Fall 2010 ready-to-wear show. Amy Odell writes “The clothes were mostly conservative, and conceived with a real, grown-up woman in mind. None of the skirts so much as showed knee, and the most revealing looks only showed a tasteful amount of cleavage.” They go on to say that the Fall 2010 Prada Ready-to-wear was “all about boobs” here. I die.
In my opinion, the clothes are feminine and body-conscious. Vuitton:
Personally, I’ve never been more enchanted with a Vuitton collection.
I thought Prada was less about boobs in a ‘sex’ way and more about the all-around gorgeousness of the female form:

I LOVE the idea of ruffling the bust and exposing a little bit of the flattest part of the mid section. You?

Messy hair. Glossy lips. Pouts. Maybe a little winged black liner, sunglasses or some lingerie? Whatever it takes. Embrace it.
Be sexy because you just are.

W Magazine had a little to say about who looked beautiful (not who was best-dressed) at the Oscars. I have to agree with their opinion. While I was definitely not a fan of SJP’s canary-sack dress. I love-love-loved her hair. It was reminiscent of her Carrie days when the producers made us believe she effortlessly threw her hair into a messy chignon.
Jane Larkworthy writes” Sarah Jessica Parker’s hair: I saw that a hairstylist panned her updo on the Today show, calling it “Elephant Man” hair, but I couldn’t disagree more. Her updo last night, by Serge Normant, was nothing short of fabulous. This woman carries Audrey Hepburn’s legacy better than anyone.”
Remember this one?

While we’re on the subject of Carrie and hair extensions, I also loved this look. 
Back to W mag, they also gave a shout out to Rachel McAdams (my fave)! She looked easy gorgeous, per usual.
These are my favorite shoes. They’re Gianni Bini croc booties with a peep toe. I bought them in December 2008 @ Dillards and have been obessed with them ever since. A pair of animal skin booties can transition you from fall to winter to spring to summer. You can seriously wear them with dresses of any solid color, jeans, skirts, black cropped pants…EVERY SINGLE time I wear them I get compliments ;)
Not the most clear photo but a perfect example of their versatility
I seriously can’t find any like this but here are some that would have a similar effect from Forever21

Here’s an infinity scarf from f21:
Mine is from New York & Co (ps: underrated store that carries so many wardrobe staples & their sales are unreal). I love it with a white jacket/blazer. My jacket in the below photo is also NY&C and bracelet length (love!)
Here’s a cropped jacket from F21

Recently began looking at The Cut dailyish, and it’s become addictive. Today I saw an article about Kathryn Amberleigh, a recent F.I.T. grad whose “shoes have graced the pages of Lucky, NYLON, Vice Magazine, WWD Accessories, and even had a twirl on Gossip Girl. And the most impressive part? Most of the handcrafted designs — which come in everything from a simple flat to a neon-pink spike-heel platform — hover around the $250 range. Kathryn’s next goal? A retail location in London. Global recession be damned.” (Natalie Hormilla)
These shoes are G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S-!
Here’s a peek

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…
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!
