Chanel Runway Show 2011/2012, photo from: http://monicarosestylist.blogspot.com

I am in LOVE with this idea! It would be perfect for a backless wedding dress! On the day when you are supposed to feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, sometimes it is details like this that can make you fee like a princess! Awesome!

Sunday Shenanigans

Hello my Blog Followers and Readers. Today is the one day a week where I search the internet and bring you some of the most amazing, creative and inspiring photo's I can scrimmage up. I hope you enjoy! Thank you for reading, thank you for following and sharing my blog with others! I am at a 49ers football game in San Francisco with my sweetheart today. I hope your Sunday is filled with peace and wonderful fashion that makes you feel like the room lights up when you walk into it! Or PJ's, sometimes on a lazy Sunday, that is just what a girl needs! Am I right?!?! 
This dress is so theatrical it is past the realm of reality in a way. And that is one reason why I love couture so much, it takes us past the idea of reality and how that comes into play with fashion!  photo courtesy of: http://monicarosestylist.blogspot.com
Inspiring Make up and hair! Idea for Halloween!!!Photo courtesy of: www.lostateminor.com
These colors are so incredibly rich and wonderful you could use this one picture as fashion inspiration for the entire winder season all on its own! Armani Prive, photo courtesy of: www.glamour.com
I adore this eye liner idea of having it wing out from top and bottom, leaving an edgy like quality instead of a vintage look that traditionally happens with winged liner! Photo courtesy of: http://www.zimbio.com

This is what fashion is all about: She looks like she is having so much fun! Her hair is perfection because it is imperfect. I think her eye liner might be purposefully uneven. And she seems to be at ease and just enjoying her moment.  photo courtesy of: www.istanbulview.com
Knits are especially inspiring for me this season! They don't have to be incredibly expensive and you can make them yourself or for others. But the texture brings such a rich quality that adds a cozy feeling for the coming cold weather! photo courtesy of: racked.com
For me this season, it is going to be all about the subtle details. The unusual design that would usually go unnoticed if it wasn't for its incredibly never seen before design quality. Siriano Shoes, photo courtesy of: /www.fijiwater.com

Dreamy Saturday

Dreamy Saturday

Today in my dreams this is what I wear. I sit at a 
cafe with a warm drink in hand, so warm it burns the inside of my fingers as I grasp the cup bringing it to my lips for a careful sip. My large sunglasses keeping me safe from the suns intense glare allowing my squint to relax along with my thoughts. My friends come to visit for a while, we visit, we laugh. After they leave the sunlight starts to fade on the day. I listen to gentle music and work on my blog reaching out to the world in a way that I never thought I could. Sharing a part of whats inside me with people from all over the world, reaching out to those I know personally and those I will never have the pleasure of meeting. I am happy here just sitting and blogging. Carefully sipping my drink that has by this time cooled down, but sipping makes this moment last longer....and so I gently take my time, blog and sip.

Street Style Look of the Day

Photo Courtesy of: http://notesfrommycloset.blogspot.com
This is SO my look these days. Its simple and being a fashion blogger you might think that I pine over what I wear, and sometimes this is true :) But mostly I just want something that I can throw on that makes me feel relevant and comfortable. This is an easy basic go to and then you can play with the shoes and the jacket option to completely change the look. This season I am very into layering my sweaters with my jackets. And green pants, they seem to be my new basic! Pictures to come :) Happy Tuesday my friends! XOXO

Raquel Zimmermann for Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2011 Campaign

Raquel looks like she is in a fairy tale. But what else would you expect from Alexander McQueen's Ms. Burton? The clothing is perfection, the shoes are always inspiring and the photography is ah-mazing! Definitely some fashion inspiration for me today! 
These shoes alone with a plain t and a pair of simple dress pants and you are done! Lovely!

 Plaid is so very in right now. I am looking into purchasing a plaid suit at the moment. We will see my fashion forward friends....we will see (smirk)!

Accessorize to match you, not your outfit! I love that her bracelet brings out her eyes. I have a green turquoise ring and I always feel special when I wear it because it brings out my eyes. Something about the way it makes me feel...how can I describe this....pulled together no matter what! Yah. thats it!

I love this photo as she seems to be anything but the starving artist. Maybe she is visiting the painter who's art she collects. No matter what her story may be, her throw back to vintage style is inspiring my artist within.

This red on red is wonderful and so do-able for this winter season. Flowing fabric also helps to break up the look. When you color match, make sure you are playing with fabric and texture too!

Beyond Chic!

Chanel is blowing my mind as always! I am loving the dress with a cape. Don't know where in the world I would wear it, but it inspires the little 5 year old in me to jump off the back of the couch and then strut down a red carpet somewhere! Love it!

Speaking of blowing my mind!!! This dress is completely unrealistic for a woman with curves as this is a thick weave. But on the model it is inspiring! Look at the attention to detail, this dress looks like it must have taken a year to make!

An entry to come featuring just the Armani Prive fashion show collection. I think it might be my favorite collection this season!

I think we have Givenchy to thank for this little inspiration with the see through skirt. But Chanel is doing a wonderful job of reinventing! Love the flowing fabric with the almost armor like top! Talk about a play on fabric!!!

Armani Rpive gives me wonderful heart palpitations! I think I am in Louuuve!

Versace reinvents her classic style and somehow you know it is her design when you look at it, but at the same time it is unlike anything you have seen! Versace brilliance!

Neutral color with a play on texture, Elie Saab hits the nail on the head!

Pay attention to detail! Even if you are the only one that notices all day, it will make you feel polished!

Chanel layers with a vintage slash hippie dress. Loving the blend of style in this one dress. He never ceases to amaze me with his creations!
