Stella McCartney, my most fave fashion designer

•••
Stella McCartney is my most favorite fashion designer. I know that's a strong statement, but it's true. I can't say that it's because I always love the styles she puts out there, but rather it's more based on her passionate core stance for ethical fashion, despite it not always being the easiest thing to produce. Just like her mamma, Linda McCartney, Stella [...]

Your passion leads to your purpose

•••
  Did you know that your passion leads to your purpose? By pursuing your passion and doing what you love, you will uncover what you are designed to do in life. I once heard someone say, “Your destiny is what moves you, what burns you up inside. It’s that thing that makes you so fired up that you want to do something to fix that unjust situation.” For e[...]

Bellocq Tea Atelier

One of my favorite things to do on a Sunday is stroll through a neighborhood and discover a lovely find that's either tea or coffee related. From King's Road, London to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY's Bellocq Tea Atelier feels like I've discovered heaven on earth. The design of this unique space has all of my favorite elements of style; including a pink couch, lo[...]

Both beautiful and inspiring, it combined strength and femininity in a modern way that leaves you feeling empowered!

Step into your dream (shoes).

•••
Those who know me know I have had a long-standing love affair with shoes. So much so, that my shoe 'closet' was shared with all when it was photographed by Conde Nast for Footwear News. Funny as it may seem, shoes make me happy, as they do so many other women. This fall, I am simply thrilled with the shoes I am seeing. It seems there's the right fit for ever[...]

My flair for hair...

•••
I've been utterly hair obsessed since I've had locks long enough to brush. I blame this on my mother. As a young woman, she worked alongside her fellow creative hair geniuses coming up with many of the styles we have come to adore today. While her dreams of continuing her career in the Big Apple soon shifted to raising myself and my two younger brothers, he[...]

Seriously the most beautiful fashion editorial I have seen in a long time....

This fashion editorial, meadow sweet, was created for a special May issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, as a collaborative effort with the V & A Museum in London. The most beautiful botanical illustrations collide with an Asian-inspired fashion influence for spring. Sophie Hirschfelder – model, Elena Rendina – photographer, Cathy Kasterine – styling [...]

I did this back in high school!

I did this back in high school with my great grandmother's old clip earrings. I'm a vintage junkie so this is so perfect. HonestlyWTF recently had the same idea! Turn your vintage clip earrings into shoe clips and instantly give some glam to last season's flats that need to become a little bit more fabulous!SO much fun...http://pinterest.com/bohomag/

Grace, Grace and more Grace

•••
Grace Coddington's memoir is out! For those fashion folk who know her, getting a glimpse into the inside world of whom I call the original stylist at a US publication(Vogue), is a pure treat! Unlike her previous publications, this memoir recounts some of the most inspiring moments of her career. I leave you with a beautiful description of her book... "Beau[...]
