Fashion Photo of the Day

Photo courtesy of: http://www.fashionising.com

This beautiful photo was for Bambi Magazine and I have been staring at it for a good 4 minutes (that's a long time people!). I am obsessing over this exaggerated Carrie Bradshaw moment, if you will recall at the L.A. book reading she wears a green top where the part around her neck falls to look like a flower.
But...what is really making me gasp for breathe are those BOOTS! I would DIE for these boots! uhhhhhhhh! Brilliant!

Shenani-Sunday

It is kind of rainy here in Sacramento, and I have been loving this Spring/Summer rainy weather. There is something about unpredictable weather that makes me feel like a kid again, ready for what the weather is going to surprise me with next. And I cant help but reflect with the changing weather, and the changing season about how much I have changed this winter season. A while back I was just generally in a bad place within myself. I was upset about a lot of things that I really didn't know how to make peace with. With this change of season I have refocused my every day thoughts, it is still hard work but is getting easier by the day. I pay attention to the negative thoughts and judgements and ask myself how they are serving me? Usually...they aren't serving me very well. And so, I let them go, in peace. Mostly the tough negative thoughts that come up are the judgements I have for myself (we all have them, ladies especially I think). I cant help but notice in the 21st century, that we have bought into the thought process that if you love yourself it is somehow incorrect, or you will just be waiting for someone to come along and prove you wrong. (At least this is the consensus between my closest friends and I). And so, I have made a change. I practice every day...letting go of judgement and letting it go in peace. They NEVER serve me well, so why keep them around? I have noticed that I only judge others when I am judging myself 10X more harshly. And when I cant help but judge myself, I make sure I don't judge others and somehow the judgement I have for myself doesn't come around so much, and if it does, it is much less intense. I am in more control of it, rather than it being in control of me!
And so, if you have noticed, I will not make negative posts about someone or their fashion choices. "Why?" you ask? Because deep down I know that I am just doing my best every day. And I'm sure you are too!
And with that in mind, I will leave you with a quote filled with wisdom: "We are all bozos on the same bus, so we might as well sit back and enjoy the ride." -Wavy Gravy (Clown/Activist)
Happy Sunday, I hope you get to include a little Shenanigan like behavior in your repertoire! And allow your judgements to fade away in peace...

Crazy Heels

I have to say that I recently saw an interview where Lady Gaga was walking in shoes very similar to this (first photo) and I have to admit that she looked a bit uncomfortable and awkward walking in them. I am a huge advocate for the idea that, if you can't make them look easy to walk in, then just skip them...its not cute!
But a freeze frame...now that's fun for the sake of art! Because that's why we want to wear them....They are pretty! And sometimes just pretty crazy!

Shenani-Sunday

Because I love looking up my horoscope and have always been into Zodiac signs, why not allow this Sunday Shenani-entry to have a Zodiac Type focus?!?!I hope your Sunday is going wonderful! And that your planets are in line, making for wonderful future prospects, and great shoes!!!

Aquarius: You hardly even believe in love, much less love at first sight, Aquarius, but something that occurs today may turn you into a believer. You never know when it will happen. You could be in line at the grocery store when someone catches your eye (and heart). Perhaps someone with whom you've only had a phone relationship suddenly shows up at your office. Adventure lies ahead.

Aries: You will feel especially close to family and friends today, Aries. There's a lot of positive energy in the air, and people feel optimistic and congenial. It's a pleasure to be with your loved ones, and interactions with strangers have a lovely flavor as well. Take advantage of the warm astral energy and plan a get-together with your favorite people. You will enjoy growing closer.

Cancer: Don't be afraid to ask for help today, Cancer. It may be that your friends and family help you with a task or you discover a mechanized solution that does the job for you. Technology can be a wonderful thing. Don't let any aversion to it stop you from incorporating it into your daily life. You will find that once you embrace innovation, it improves your quality of life dramatically.

Capricorn: You have a generous spirit, Capricorn, which could get you into trouble if you aren't careful. When you get a gift of money or even a hint of one, your tendency is to buy presents for all your friends. It's hard to fault you for this, but there are other ways to show your affection. You could bake cookies to distribute, for example. This will keep your money safe and earning interest.

Gemini: You have a wonderful combination of optimism and spirituality, Gemini. You believe in miracles as well as angels, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy. We support your attitude wholeheartedly! Today something may happen that only further solidifies your beliefs. Perhaps your guardian angel saves you from stepping in front of a bus, or you receive a telepathic message that stops you from making a bad career mistake.

Leo: You can expect your love life to take a dramatic turn for the better, Leo. This may be because you feel more self-confident than you have in a long time. In addition, you feel great and look even better. It's no wonder your romantic partner is reacting to you in such a powerful, positive way. Make the most of this opportunity by spending some quality time together.

Libra: Sign up for a class or workshop today. Your career could greatly benefit from more training. A short computer course might be all you need to move your career a giant leap forward. Don't neglect your artistic abilities, Libra. Ideally, you will find a way to integrate your creative talents into your daily business life. There's always room for creativity.

Pisces: It's likely a hidden talent of yours is revealed today, Pisces. All those scraps of writing could turn into something more concrete, such as a novel. Maybe you begin to dabble with your children's paint set and realize how much you enjoy the creative process. Be open to all possibilities. You may find your life takes a different, more authentic direction.

Sagittarious: There's no other way to say this, Sagittarius - you're in the mood for love. Tonight you may feel a strong urge to be with your partner. If there isn't one in your life, you should take steps to correct that. You may meet someone who sweeps you off your feet. You want to be head-in-the-clouds in love, which is the only way to be!

Scorpio: You've been working especially hard lately, Scorpio, and today you may begin to reap the benefits of all your hard work. Some project that's dear to your heart may be nearing completion, and even you are impressed by the results! All those naysayers who said it would never work are now looking at you with admiration and respect. Give yourself a pat on the back for your accomplishment.

Taurus: You're likely feeling confident, optimistic, and enthusiastic today, Taurus. You feel as though anything is possible, and indeed it is. If you feel a bit of wanderlust and are anxious to explore new places and meet new people, you may soon receive the chance. Life is one great big adventure. You're fortunate to have the sort of spirit that embraces it fully.

Virgo: You're looking good and feeling great, Virgo. Now if only your home environment reflected who you are. As you look around, you may realize that it isn't as elegant as it could be. Today you can begin to change it. Begin with the basics - tidy up and clear away clutter. Once all the extraneous items are gone, you can begin to look at more serious changes.

I saved the best for last... There is something about this picture that makes this runway moment seem intimate. I think its because you don't see anyone in the frame other than her. There is no commotion, it is a seemingly quiet moment, its just her and the dress. Its actually a very sweet, understated and modest fashion moment. I also LOVE the dress!!!!!
