She is brilliant! Goes to show that a life in the fashion industry doesn't mean you get to sit around and look good all day, she is a hard worker! 

Snowboard Meditation

Jacob Sutton’s L.E.D. Surfer on Nowness.com.


Don't know if I have shared this, but I have been obsessed with snowboarding since I was about 12 and my Dad bought me my first snowboard! My cousin Conner was sponsored by Joy Ride and I just had to have a Joy Ride as my first board. I don't know if this is pathetic or cool but I still ride that Joy Ride to this day. Its a little heavy and tattered, but I love it! Anyways, in the Winter sometimes I dream of snowboarding and I swear I had a dream just like this. This video is so cool I didn't want it to end. I thought it was cut a little short... Its seriously like a meditation with the music! 
Well, this is what I do to enjoy my winter season, what do you do? 

A dress to LOVE

This dress very much reminds me of Anna Dello Russo, this is exactly how she would accessorize it too! 
I absolutely love this neon color, which is incredible because I have never really been into neon, not even in the 80's...but this season it has a delicate hue of pastel that is infused that I am thoroughly enjoying!

I have always been a big fan of braids, but this seasons braids are awesome. It takes this easy go-to style to a whole new level! Keep it messy and tease before hand : )

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!

Backstage at Alexis Mabille's Spring/Summer 2012 Show

I absolutely love it when designers work to do something abstract to compliment the fashion they have created! It adds that essence of allure and fantasy that I believe fashion shows are really all about. I like this make up especially because it leaves you just staring at the models almost trying to picture what they look like without the make up. It looks a little ugly at times, but mostly it is just fun! Then, it isn't until the end of the video where you really get a peek at the clothing, and it is wonderful!  Two thumbs up to Alexis Mabille!
