lady liu

i am all for the new lady-like/50s inspired trend a la louis vuitton fall 2010. in this spread, model liu wen proves to be a classic beauty.



fashion gone rogue

mind blowing

everyone pretty much likes j crew. it's a store that has a lot of quality clothes and they always last and look very nice. but when i saw their fall 2010 lookbook, i died a little on the inside. it's so unbearably amazing! "edie beale meets the girl scouts" is how the creative director explains their inspiration for the season. well, i love it.






MAMA'S A ROLLING STONE

break the rules

most people will flat out tell you that blue eyeshadow is a bad idea. since one of my simple pleasures is regularly breaking fashion and beauty rules, i was thrilled to see blue eye makeup as a trend on the rise.

i originally headed over to mark. to pick up their smooch-proof lipstain that i read about on stylecaster. while i was there i also bought color cream in cabana. it seems to be the perfect shade! i'm even toying with the idea of wearing the two together for one super glam evening, a la christian dior spring 2010. plus a shot of the lovely chanel iman to prove it's not just for those fair blonde girls.

hey guys, here it is

okay i know i said a while ago that i was going to start trying to get into menswear, but i have definitely been putting it off. but it was part of my new years resolution, so i'm going to stick to it.

with some encouragement from my dear, lifelong friend kirby marzec, i finally started investigating!

let me preface this by saying a few things:

- for some reason male models crack me up, not sure why i just think they are kind of hilarious
- i have a very clean, classic aesthetic when it comes to men... i usually just like what i would want to see my boyfriend in
- this is all very new to me, but hopefully it will be a fun new venture!

i decided to start with paul smith, mainly because it was on the main page of GQ.com. i figured that would be a safe place to start. so check out my favorite looks from paul smith menswear collection for fall 2010!
