Home!

Finally home! While I love San Francisco more than any other city, it is nice to be home. New pictures are coming soon, we promise!

In the mean time, I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing, so here is one of the most beautifully created promotional videos I've ever seen! Cartier designed this video titled, L'Odyssée de Cartier, following the journey of one of it's crystalized panthers, breaking free of its diamond encapsulation and roaming the Cartier world.
Enjoy!

Spring Skipping

(shirt H&M, jacket Forever 21, jeans Free People, shoes Converse, earrings Urban Outfitters)  

Chains, leather and lace all seem appropriate when you've decided to break the rules. Rebel chic isn't a look I often see on my sister, but when you're skipping school it seems justified to break out the see-through tops and leather jacket. And where better to spend the day than a deserted baseball field bathed in golden sunlight?

Blackout

Got these chunky black heels at Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago on sale for about $39. I couldn't ask for a more perfect heel. They add a certain elegance with the exaggerated yet simple silhouette, and the open toe makes them ideal for any season. Let me know what you think!

Is there anything more breathtaking than these photos of Kendra Spears strolling the streets of New York, coffee in hand? This spread for Muse Magazine Winter 2011 was shot by the brilliant Mariano Vivanco. I'm brought back to a time of classic beauty, with oversized jackets, pointed-toe heals, and bold brows. The woman who is powerful and classy but who's not afraid to wander alone down the streets of the real New York. She is a New York woman.

Ture inspiration that lasts a lifetime.

p.s. does any one else feel the need to buy a cat to walk down the street on a leash? Springs hottest accessory!

Day Dreamer

I received this Stila DayDream Palette as a Valentines' Day gift, and have barely put it down since.  Stila has been one of my favorite makeup brands for years now, and I had been hearing great things about this palette, so I was not surprised to instantly fall in love.  However I had not predicted that it would become my new everyday go-to palette! This gorgeous eyeshadow palette has made me more experimental with colors, because although they appear bright, they are also very wearable, and add so much life to my eyes!  I also love love love the stain-glass/floral display of the colors!  This is a definite spring must-have.
