Fresh faced for J crew

YSL Spring 2011

Arizona Muse has definitely been one to watch since the beginning. I am so happy to see her everywhere lately! She has one of the most strikingly beautiful faces in the industry, somewhere between a retro starlet and natural beauty. And certainly no one else can pull off the short tousled locks!  

Simple living...

Here's what you can do with a 420 sq ft. studio. Though it was very small, the layout is great. Perfect for someone with a minimal style...and wardrobe! The 1 closet was a deal breaker. I can MAYBE fit all my clothes and shoes in there but what about everything else??! So, the search continues....

Stack em high...

Layer your clothes. Layer your jewelry! Take everything out of your jewelry box and pile it on for fun ;)

Irina Ionesco

Lately there has been a lot of controversy over 10 yr. old french model Thylane Blondeau. Her photos in the latest issue of French Vogue has been deemed sexually suggestive and inappropriate. When does the expression of art and fashion go too far and become borderline creepy?  The French has always been known to push the envelope when it comes to sexuality and freedom of expression. Personally I do believe there is a limit when it comes to artistic expression. When this expression involves children who are all innocent no matter the ethnicity or culture, people need to start questioning the purpose. 

Thylane Blondeau

French photographer Irina Ionesco is perhaps most famous for her mysterious erotica style photography showcasing her young daughter Eva in the nude. An interesting portrayal of her young daughter from the age of about 5 to 10 years old as a woman-child were depicted in a series of erotic essays in the 1974 exhibition Eloge de Ma Fille. I would best describe this work of art as an innocent struggle between childhood and adolescence. Her work is quite amazing with the lavish styling of a dark dreamy fairytale. You could only imagine the amount of controversy these images caused back then. While it was a time a sexual exploration and freedom, many were shocked at Ionesco's work.

Classic update

A sexy alternative to the nude pump

Guiseppe Zanotti- the T-bar shape is SO sexy! And take a closer look, it's not snakeskin but stingray.

Not your average black pump

Christian Louboutin- This will be your statement piece! 

Leopard is SO last season!

Sergio Rossi- Get your feet in some Tiger! Even the name is fresh- Barbie Tiger Ponyhair Pumps

Need a sneaker but hate the "sneaker" look?

Isabel Marant- HELLLO lover. Don't care what anyone says, I can workout in these! Totally chic not to mention they go with everything in my closet. Think of them as comfy wedge booties with velcro straps;)

Sick of everyone's Tory flats?

Chloe- normally these would be boring ballerina flats but look how cute the scalloped edges are!! The flattering nude tone will compliment just about any color...I 'm loving nude with bold brights like coral, cobalt, kelly green and barbie pink! And of course white against sun-bronzed skin ;) I hope we have a loooooong summer!

How many pairs of black ankle boots can one own? NEVER ENOUGH!

LD Tuttle makes some of the coolest boots around

Flashback-90's

 Herb Ritts- 1989

Roxanne Lowit- 1989

I absolutely LOVE this photo

Claudia Schiffer- The original Guess girl!

Helena Christensen- She has the most crazy intense eyes!

Linda Evangelista- The true SUPERMODEL of the 90's. Quite the chameleon with her ever changing hairstyles and color

How can we even think about the 90's without mentioning Cindy Crawford! She didn't have the blonde hair or blue eyes but she was definitely the all American beauty. I did her work-out videos in my living room everyday!
