Lust List: Silky Jumper

i love, love, love the silky, drapey, sexiness of this jumper by 6 Shore Road from Revolve Clothing.  it feels like something michelle pfeiffer would wear in Scarface.  who doesn't love an easy glam look?

Road Trip in STYLE

tomorrow morning rambo and i will set off on a little roadtrip to the county for the holiday weekend.  i love this story for two reasons: one, when do you see a fashion story shot completely in a car? and two, it makes me feel a bit more normal for wearing heels on roadtrips. 
happy friday!

Style Inspiration: Victoria Beckham

since i'm no longer working in fashion, getting dressed for work has become a daily challenge.  i think twice before pulling on my goes-with-everything over-the-knee boots.  in an effort to get out the door in a timely manner, while looking pulled together and sharp, i tend to channel my inner Victoria Beckham.  she seems to have a killer equation going on:

skinny jeans + heels of all varities (stilettos, booties, you name it) + drapey tee or blouse + jacket + structured bag + accessories. 

voila! fashionably dressed.

Hair Envy



these images from planet blue's latest lookbook gave me intense hair envy.  although, i'm happy to report that my crazy hair vitamins, viviscal, which i wrote about over a month ago, are actually working!  after one month of taking these vitamins, my hair is stronger and a bit longer.  reviews  said that it takes about 3 months to really see results, but so far so good.

Look to Love: Leather Skirt


when i spotted this shopbop story on 5 ways to wear a leather skirt, it reminded me of a veda leather skirt that i met at intermix last Fall and fell literally head-over-heels for.  rambo convinced me that it wasn't a "need."  but seeing it styled 5 different ways, spotting the former editor of Harper Bazaar's Russia Miroslava Duma looking like perfection in her leather skirt above, and then finding a nearly identical skirt to my dreamy Veda version at Urban Outfitters on sale for $99...well, who could deny such obvious meant-to-be signs?

The Best Faux Glow: L'oreal Sublime Bronze Salon Airbrush


i'm typically very loyal to my favorite products, but when it comes to self-tanners, well...i'm a cheater.  i have yet to find a self-tanner that isn't too orange, too stinky, doesn't streak, stain, or look like a speckled sun rash instead of a bronze glow.  until this past weekend when i met L'Oreal's new Sublime Bronze Salon Airbrush.  it sprays like a fine, even mist, and if you stand in your shower while it's in use, you will honestly feel like you're getting a spray tan, with the bonus of not leaving home.  it smells faintly citrus-y and left yours truly with the perfect amount of even, golden color.  and if all that doesn't sell you, then the price tag certainly will.  it's under $12 (read: practically free).

The Hottness

images like these make me want to live in only black, because seriously, what's more chic?  i adore this story shot by seth sabel, featuring shanay hall.  find the rest here.

oh, and i have to ask: would you wear your monokini out with shorts and a blazer?  shanay makes it look pretty f-ing hot.  just saying.
