Wildfox Couture




I am in love with these photos for Wildfox Couture's fall line. I want to do a photo shoot like this so bad. I think any girl could look hot styled and photographed this way. Often contrasty photo's bother me, but since many of them are blown out in a cool way it really works for the whole scene and for the vibe of the clothes. I don't have many places I could wear these kind of clothes, but I do want to go out in a vintage bad girl outfit soon, with those fiery red lips. How much fun!

Favorite list


the amazing Tim Walker

I made Nathalie make a "Favorite list" after she told me fireworks were on her top 5 list of favorite things. So in turn, she made me make one, on the spot. It is difficult to do, because it's not just things that make you happy, or things you like, you have to think of your top 5 favorite things of all time in every category.

Here is what I quickly came up with:

1. Dancing
2. Watching a movie/TV at home while it is raining
3. Going out to dinner
4. Sleeping in
5. Playing dress up

A couple other runner-ups are design shows/model home tours/open houses, and as Nathalie pointed out, pretty things in general like glitter. I just love glitter, and of course chandeliers. And lest we forget, that Paris should be on that list, but I didn't want to be cliche, and really it's above the list- c'est sans list.

Now you try to think of your 5 favorite things!

Pink Couch

I currently own a purple velvet couch, which to many people could sound atrocious, but I think it's quite elegant. It is less of a statement than you would imagine, and also quite luxurious against the skin. I came about the couch in a funny and free way. A former boss of mine inherited it from a friend and put it in her office. I would in turn sit on it almost daily and make comments about how much I liked it: "This couch is surprisingly comfortable", "This is my favorite color purple, and matches everything I own". After I stopped working there, I constantly told my friend to remind her that I would happily take it off her hands. I knew one day the time would come. Happily, about 3 months into having my new apartment, I got an email offering me the couch. Luckily I own a truck, so as soon as I could I went and picked it up. I have been very happy with it.


That being said, I LOVE this pink couch, and might even love it more than my own. I am not sure what is more girly, pink or purple? I'm sure the two together would be a tad over the top though. No man would let that slide. I love this whole apartment together, especially with the black mannequin. I have been searching for one of those as well. If you know of anyone ready to get rid of theirs, let me know!

In honor of other lovely pink things, look at these wonderful cupcakes. They look SO good.


Also, the pink painting in this bedroom is really cute and easy to do. I am thinking of retiring my glitter canvases and putting this baby up. Thoughts?

Starting to brainstorm, and starting to stress.

Barbara Cole


I found a new photographer that specializes in under water shoots. Her name is Barbara Cole and her photos are beyond amazing. She recently did a shoot for Anthropology that is so cool. Way to be hip Anthro. The most recent cover of Elle magazine featured Drew Barrymore underwater in beautiful gowns too. It must be a trend this summer season, and I like it.

Underwater photography has always fascinated me. Maybe it's because I have always loved mermaids that I am just drawn to them. (I often think about being a beautiful mermaid when I am bored, you know what color tail, what kind of bobbles and shells will I use as a bra etc.) These photo's are just so beautiful, surreal, and other-wordly. It makes me want to get in a pool right now, in my old prom dresses and just aimlessly float around with glitter makeup all over my face. Anyone with me? Enjoy more of her work here.


for Anthropology


I love this intense reflection. So weird and impressive.


This is my hands down favorite.
