How's this for some "inspiration"? Wish my every day life called for incredible moments like this! If you ask me...this is purr-fection! 

Stevie Nicks

Today I am starting off my Morning with a little Stevie Nicks. I am getting ready to head up the mountain and do some snowboarding with my sweetie! One of my favorite things to do!!! But I was getting my gear together and listening to Stevie Nicks on this overcast and blustery day...
Her music got me thinking about the boho chic style; she was really a type of pioneer for this gypsy like look or lifestyle if you will! So, here is a little bohemian chic style from Stevie for your Sunday Shenanigans. I hope you enjoy your Sunday as much as I know I will :)

I have a top hat that was my grandfathers and it is made of beaver skin. Its worn and lovely and I will cherish it my entire life. I used to delicately play with it as a little girl, even at a young age understanding how precious it was after he passed away. I was always my grandfathers little girl!!! So I absolutely adore how Stevie was able to play with such a profound fashion accessorie and make it work for her every day! Lovely and fashion fearless!

 I think this is my favorite photo of them all. Its like we are peeking in on her in this gentle moment in between the beets or something when you know she was surrounded by a ton of people and lots of movement. She is so effortlessly chic!

I am absolutely LOVING the Silk Pants look that is in right now! I have shared before that I designed a pair just like this when I was younger that my mother made for me. They were tight in all the right places and silky (which I have to admit, I am a sucker for silk!!!) They looked amazing and were literally the most comfortable thing in my closet! But I am really enjoying that it is in vogue at the moment. So in vogue in fact that this lovely model, Miss. Boin is literally wearing silk pajamas, well a dress top and a dress pant made of silk fabric. But the difference is that she has accessorized and dressed for day wear. LOVING IT! This has inspired me to go shopping! But I have to say that I don't think this is a look that you can find on the cheap, otherwise it will look cheesy. Spending a little more mula to get the right fabric and fit is incredibly important in this case. Also, more than that you MUST wear your highest heels possible, NO FLAT's! Very important that they don't fit like pajama pants, they have to fit like loose cut dress pants. Delicate difference and proves how very important it can be. You can look like you are out wearing your pajamas or you can look like you are on trend with the slightest little difference in cut and fabric. Ah-mazing! 

Sunday Shenanigans

I have stumbled across a new designer that has me gasping for breath on the floor like a fish out of water. 

TOUJOURI

Which means "Treasure Chest" in Arabic, just opened a Flagship Store in Doha, Qatar. If you have not seen Qatar, look it up online, it is an amazing place! The designer is Lama El-Moatassem and she seems to be very in tune with the style of her own Middle Eastern Culture while keeping her International senses about her enough to translate her style into something completely ingenious and new. She studied in London and worked for a variety of Fashion Houses before breaking out to design her own line. And here are some of my favorites from her new Spring/Summer 2012 Collection: 

I absolutely love how the fabric delicately fades on this dress! 

This dress is so incredibly fun and vivacious! 

 I think I would wear this every day if I had my way. Pool side too! 

When I saw this dress....enter gasping for breath on the floor like a fish out of water moment! 

 All the bead work is hand done! Breathtaking! 

(Sigh in happiness) This color is awesome! And I love the cut, the bead work...everything about it really!

This one was the kicker for me. I schemed and actually looked into my savings account to see if I could spend every last dollar I have to my name just to buy it! FASHGASM! 

 I adore how the fabric drapes on this dress, it is totally new and still flattering! Fashion Brilliance if you ask me!!! It drapes into a cape in the back!!! (awww. I want! I want! I want!) Sorry inner child temper tantrum : )  (clear throat) I'm good! 

 Cobalt Blue Brilliance! 

 SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! THIS JUST HAPPENED!

 I would die for a dress like this! 

And I am in love! It is official! 

 Super fun dress to go dancing in! 

 Brilliance doesn't cut it anymore....

I don't know about you, but all of this amazing fashion....I am exhausted. Give me a glass of wine and put me to bed! :) Happy Sunday Followers!

Erin Wasson's Rules of Cool

Effortlessly Chic Manly Man

There is something about Johnny Depp that is so styled and yet he keeps his look so very natural and easy. He always seems to look like he threw on something that he keeps on the floor and makes it look modern. It is my personal observation (correct me if I am wrong), but his style really has not changed all that much in these past 8-10 years. Yes, he tries different things and experiments with off the cusp fashion items, but all and all, I think he has always had a certain gypsy/bohemian flair to his look. And I for one adore it! He can do no wrong; when he tries on something so very wrong, somehow it just turns out to be....right.
