One True Love

Everyone has that one thing that they fall in love with. Truly, madly, deeply. I'm not talking about your significant other or your friends or even your family. It's a deeper love affair, something that owns your heart and mind and until you have it with you, things won't be the same. Meet the Wildfox X Jeffrey Campbell Ballet Platform:

It's the perfect mix of naughty and nice; with the ballet inspired color and ties, but the platform to cause controversy and add height. The shoes first caught my eye a few months earlier and I all I could do was leave my jaw dropped and thank God for these beautiful shoes. I've always had an obsession with ballerinas, and being 5'7, they would give me the height I dream of (5'11 is a pipe dream for little ol me...) They were on pre sale but since I quit my job once the new year began, I have had a lack of money. Over time though, the obsession and love has only deepened. Although they're currently sold out at Solestruck, I await the day the e-mail comes to my phone saying "We've restocked the Ballet Platforms!" I will scurry so fast to their site and order these perfectly crafted, magnificent, outstanding by how great they are, platforms.

Oh... Wow

As a girl living in a small town, I always look for style inspiration from celebrities, socialites, actors, musicians - basically anyone who doesn't live in this town. The day I started watching Skins was a day my style was changed for the better. The first season revolves around a group of friends: Tony, Sid, Michelle, Jal, Chris, Maxxie, Anwar, and Cassie. They all have a different way they dress, such as Tony is a prep; Chris is all over the place; and Michelle is kind of slutty. The character who's apparel peaked my interest was Cassie. An eating disordered, blonde girl who mixed feminine apparel with eccentric pieces, always looking fabulous. The perfect way to describe Cassie is quirky. Here are a few of my favorite looks she pulled off during the two seasons she was on:

Fashion is always on the move and currently it is in France. Actors, celebrities, socialites, and every well dressed person you could think of has been flaunting their style since Wednesday night. The beautiful clothing and jewelry (Chopard is a name no one will forget anytime soon!) has been making my jaw drop each day as more beautiful photos surface on the internet. My overall favorite so far has been Fan BingBing. Her beautiful dresses have made me green with envy. Here are my picks for best dressed thus far:

Frieda Pinto in Michael Angel

Dolores Chaplin in Lanvin

Fan BingBing in floral

Fan BingBing in Elie Saab Haute Couture (my absoloute favorite!)

Empire State of Mind

Yesterday I returned from my four day trip to New York City. It was as magical as I had always dreamed it would be. From the endless beauty and foliage of Central Park; with great views, attractions, and the best tour guide Sylvester, it was a great success. Visiting MoMa and being face to face with the work of Diego Rivera blew my mind. Eating at John's Pizzeria and the Stardust Diner, while always finding time to grab a hot dog from a vendor... all delicious food. The shopping was wonderful. The people were beautiful. I don't think it could have been any better because it was my dreams come alive.

Chanel Resort 2013

Marie Antoinette, metallic creepers, and magical clothing came together to make up the Chanel Resort 2013 collection. The show, which was at Chateau de Versailles, was stunning. Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel, never seems to phase editors and other designers with how beautifully his pieces come out. Yet Karl is always on his toes, bringing together styles and collections that mix things you wouldn't expect. 


The French influence of Marie Antoinette clothing looked gorgeous on models as they sashayed and rocked the catwalk adorning pastel colored bobs, and creepers (which I am obsessed with!) The frocks remind me of a place and time I wish I was alive for, yet thanks to Karl I can stare at the endless photos of models from the show online.

Style Inspiration: Fifi Lapin

I can honestly say I never thought the day would come around that I would ever be jealous of a rabbit. Yes, you read the sentence correctly. I'm jealous of a rabbit! Not the adorable, furry kind that hop around eating carrots though. This rabbit is as fashionable as they come, making human girls like me run for our money. 


Fifi is a haress to her fathers fortune. She always looks classy and put together, and may come off as a just a socialite, but there is so much more about her that is intriguing. Her designer duds, her signature "bunny kisses" goodbye message, what's not to love? The best part about Fifi is that she always changes it up. I hope you all understand why I've grown to love this "petit lapin" so much!

HOT CHILD IN THE CITY

Jeffrey Campbell shoes are the epitome of sass, beauty, and pure joy. In their summer lookbook, the clothes were vintage and the shoes were out of this world. Prints ranging from galaxy platforms to neon pink open toe platforms; variety was the spice of life in this shoot. My personal favorite? The peacock covered peeptoe wedge... phenomenal shoe I would hold on display for all my peers to gawk at.
