LE LOOK DU JOUR

I am seriously in love with this outfit worn by Laura Love at Coachella. 

This look is simply perfect.

I love the vintage boho feel that the denim on denim does for this outfit. 

The accessories, rounded sunnies and crossover body bag, are exactly the right amount of detailing. 

This outfit deems respect for being so effortlessly chic

in such ridiculously hot weather.

Everyone has been talking about Coachella for months;

Favorite: Terry Richardson

I absolutely love Terry Richardson's photography. 

The way that he captures famous celebrities in such ordinary situations is genius:

I die for pure beauty on a plain white backdrop.

Oh yeah, and I guess sex sells too. 

You can check out his online picture diary for these and many more:

What do you think? Do you like Terry, or is he just too much?

Oscar Review

My favorite part of any award show is the fashion, duh! 

The Oscars were great on Sunday night, even though I think I saw only 10 percent of the films nominated. 

Oops! 

Thank you, reality TV, for the minor distraction.

 Anyways, back to the uhmazziiiing fashion from the Oscars....

Michelle Williams looking absolutely stunning in this red tulle gown by Louis Vuitton. I love the peplum detail!

I love her funky style and pixie cut. She has always fashionably stood out among young Hollywood.

I think it is only right to show Meryl some love. She is such an amazing actress. I dug how she was an Oscar herself in this Lavin gown. 

Rose Byrne is so awesome. I loved her white jumpsuit at the SAG Awards and I am still loving her  style! This 70's inspired look is super fabulous. 

The back of this Vivienne Westwood sequin gown is just to die for. The jewelry by Chanel is also just gorgeous!

Rooney is so cool style wise. Of course, she would rock this avant-garde gown with very little jewelry. I love this Givenchy Couture gown.

                                                     

It drapes and fits her body like a glove. 

One of my style icons. I love Gwyneth, and she looks super fabulous in this Tom Ford gown. I love her style because she is always so elegant and chic. She makes it look like it took no effort at all! Who doesn't love some luxe-minimal??

Penelope Cruz always rocks the red carpet- the Oscars were no exception. I love how she rocked a different color other than red, black, and white. Her off the shoulder lavender ball gown, by Armani Prive,  is just fabulous.

Dying for a Freaky Friday Moment with Tommy Ton

I just finished reading my Bazaar and loved Tommy Ton's spread on street fashion.

I love Tommy Ton's pictures of street style. 

This Friday, all I was thinking about was how amazing it would be to switch places with him for a day.

Freaky Friday remake (fashion edition), I think so. 

 His fashion perspective and eye for style is remarkable. 

I adore his uses of color, and the way he frames his shots are just to die for. 

He makes the viewer just want to scream, "I want all these pieces now!!"

Great shades: sunglasses & pastels

From Bazar's March 2012 issue: COLORS...yes please!

Mustard Color Block. So Fun.

Love anything animal print, which make these shoes ggrrreat.

Fabulous mixture of prints and textures. 

Can that pleaseee be me on the far left. Socks and heels: such a fierce statement! 

                                         

                                                 So green with ENVY right about now.

                                                      Oh yeah, can't forget about the male street apparel. So uhmaziing.

Green Hat, Tortoise Glass, & Denim Shirt!

Parka Chic.
