Will it Ever Stop?

^Street style is super overdone these days, but this picture blew me away. Eleonora Carisi nailed it completely with her slinky snakeskin skirt and undone wavy hair. The natural beauty also happens to have a perfect Crawford-esque mole above her lip.

Nice to be Back

^Somehow I missed this skirt, whether it was due to international travel or just sloppiness I cannot say. Although I am thoroughly embarrassed to divulge the origin of my findings, I must. The Housewives of Beverly Hills. Yes, you may scoff at my unrefined taste but we all have weaknesses and bad reality television is mine.

I was astonished by Taylor Armstrong's good taste and I immediately knew it was Helmut Lang. Who else makes a gorgeous slit like that? Unfortunately it is sold out of every major retailer, however that will not stop me from googling it every day.

Liberty for Target Pop-up

2010-03-12T13:20:00.004-05:00

^Going to the Liberty of London pop-up was like entering the other side of the looking glass. Giant teacups, grass walls and enormous flowers. It was a welcome sight after 4 months of winter, and surprisingly calming despite the masses. Prices were low and merchandise was scarce, the kid's clothes were especially adorable and I am personally in love with the BIKES! Only $199 for the adult size.

Pucca Launch @ Curve

2010-02-11T02:13:00.002-05:00

^The Pucca launch party at Curve was fabulous, red carpet and all. Being the responsible blogger I am, I forgot my camera and had to steal Marks'. The mini-cupcakes were divine and the music was splendid.

^Due to an amazing internship (which I cannot name) I was able to attend the CFDA Health Initiative last night as well. It is my personal opinion that Anna Wintour's hair should someday have its own exhibit in the Met. It was the first - and only - thing I saw as I entered the room.

I would like to be buried in these

2010-02-08T11:53:00.002-05:00

^I want to date these shoes. For $995 though, you would be better off buying yourself a stud gun and going nuts on a pair of loafers.
