Reading and researching about fashion is so much fun. Wish I could do it all day. I really like to peruse fashion, style and beauty blogs and see all the different perspectives. I recently came upon Umba Momba a site on fashion that covers fashion trends and celebrity style. There’s always something new to learn everyday and I love the inspiration that I get whenever I see the styles. Fashion for me is like art. I really admire people who have a great sense of style. Regardless of age, gender and financial situation if you are comfortable with your style and confident, you can rock anything. Seriously!

So while I was browsing I saw a pair of feathered Jimmy Choo stilettos that I really liked. Feather and adornments are going to be big. I saw a pair of  Chanel heels that has the same concept. I really loved liked the lace and bow stilettos at Valentino so I am loving the whole feather look as well. It’s amazing how shoes can be adorned and turned into something unique. I think that I am going to find an old pair of black sandals and cover it with feathers, lace, and crystals. It’s hard to not go all out with the sparkle so I usually have to step back and analyze what I’ve come up with to avoid it from becoming tacky. When it comes to adornments I always believe less is more.

I think that this is going to be a fun project!

Feathered Jimmy Choo

Love the slouchy tops/dresses and thigh highs from Isabel Marant’s Fall/Winter 09 collection.

I am 5 ft 2.

I wonder if I can pull this off without looking like a tree trunk

OR

if they make thigh highs for petites.

Beauty Game: Perfect Hair

This game is so addictive. You have to move quickly to serve all your customers!

Good luck. XOXO

You all must know by now that I am a big sucker for pretty dresses and I found a Marciano dress that I must have. I am so tempted to buy it online but, a) I am not sure if it will fit (I am between a small and xs online) and I don’t want to go through the hassle of shipping it back b) with taxes and shipping the total comes close to $200 c) the dress is a not a need but a big WANT!

But I really, really, really want to buy this dress. It reminds me of Halston. I have a couple of summer functions that I can wear this dress to.  So I’ve decided to give it one more day and then run to store, try it on and buy it if it looks fantastic on me.

Tori Dress by Marciano $138 USD

Nicole Richie wore a similar dress to The War of The Worlds New York premier in 2005. I loved the dress back then and I still love the dress. The colour looks fabulous on her. Nicole wore the most fabulous dresses when she was styled by Rachel Zoe.
