Youth. Flowers. Magic


This look could be pulled off by anyone...need to learn how to make a wreath now!

Love the way the water movement was captured in this shot.

Dying like this would be so lovely.

Can you say TALENTED photographer!

This reminds me of Britain for some reason.

And this reminds me of The Blue Lagoon

Magic!

Urban Outfitters: MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Urban Outfitters is my go-to place for affordable but utterly fashionable pieces.  Their March catalogue is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!  Check it out and then head over to your nearest location to snag some of these pieces (or to their website, just do it!)
Lace spaghetti strap top and pink denim....KILLER COMBO!


This shot is so creative, it looks like a dump yet the models loook amazing!

This is a look I would so do.  The high waisted skirt with the plaid crop top (or bra, if that's what you want to call it), is definitely a challenging look to pull off......that's so ME!

Take time to look at each of their outfits, instead of the whole picture!

Such a cute shot!

Both of their looks are to DIE FOR!

The fact that they are posing next to a Mexican "Lonchera", (mexican lunch truck) makes this shot that much more cool!

So?  Did I convince you to get to Urban Outfitters pronto?  Well get there A.S.A.P!  I'm sure these looks will run out soon (I'll take half of the ones in the store, sooooo....)
Please tell me what you think in the comments section below!  :)

You Gotta Love Gisele Bundchen!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gisele Bundchen is one of the most beautiful, if not THE most beautiful model out there!  Its no wonder she makes such big bucks....I was looking through all the photo inspiration I have saved on my computer, and I realized the sheer volume of random photos I have of Gisele.  I'm massively inspired by Gisele, take a look at three completely different shoots she was in.
MUST-HAVE LEATHER JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it when an outfit is All-American!  Speaking of All-American, check out VintageVirgin's new post http://msvintagevirgin.blogspot.com/2011/03/all-starred-spangled.html

Her top is inspiring me for a great diy project!

Now wouldn't it be just nice if we all looked this sexy in a holey t-shirt?!

ENVY!!!!!

DAMN!  She is TONED!!!!

Ooooh the grunge look!

That snakeskin skirt is HOT!



And now, here's Gisele with completely opposite looks...

Boho Chic!

I want one like this!



So pure and simple.


Lacey top!  My favorites!



Only she could look THIS good in white jeans!



Another jumper that is to DIE for!

The following is in Vogue Paris April 2011 by Inez and Vinoodh

Do I see some butt cleavage?!

The lighting in the picture to the right adds that touch that takes a photo from good to stunning

Once again the photographer leaves me breathless!

Only Gisele can pull that kind of hair off!

Gisele?  Hitchhiking?  I bet there's gonna be a line!  
I love the fact that Gisele is such a versatile model.  She's able to pull of the part of a sex-symbol, an innocent, and a disheveled traveler with great talent.  I don't quite remember where the first editorial was featured, but whoever the photographer was, he or she did a fantastic job, its stunning!  Gisele's campaign for H&M is sure to boost their sales, I mean come on, who doesn't want to look like Gisele Bundchen?  The editorial in Vogue Paris has to be my favorite though, the pieces she's wearing are wonderful, they are so in touch with this spring season!
What do you all think?  Gisele:  HOT or NOT?

Nudes, Nudes, NUDES!!!

I have an obsession with nude colors, I have said that many, many times before.  So when I got this amazing collection in my inbox just a couple of minutes ago, I was ecstatic.  Mango for Spring 2011, is all about nudes, the collection's name is actually just that, the "Nude Collection".  Anyway check it out, maybe you'll see why I LOVE nudes so much!

I love the fact that this is not your traditional nude tone.  It has a pinkier tone, which makes the garment look so much more feminine

Loving the maxi and the tan belt, great combo!

Notice the print on this skirt...............................................

Amanda Seyfried: Spring and Flowers

This editorial with Amanda Seyfried was in Marie Claire UK for April 2011.  It made me feel so happy inside because it got me thinking....spring is almost here!  The temperatures will finally go over 70, I will wear sheer clothing, ruffles, I will show some skin and the flowers will be in full bloom..........

Amanda wearing Emilio Pucci straight of the runway....I want those boots/sandals so bad!

Love the old looking background

The fact that this dress is only held up by a thin rope is fascinating....so sexy!
amanda seyfried4 Amanda Seyfried by Matthias Vriens McGrath for <em>Marie Claire UK</em> April 2011
Fringes, and little peeps of skin on the sides of the pants.  Its like a modern Pocahontas!


And finally...the cover!  (not my favorite, I think some of the shots on the inside would have made a better cover, but that's just me loving more intricate images)
amanda seyfried5 Amanda Seyfried by Matthias Vriens McGrath for <em>Marie Claire UK</em> April 2011

So, any thoughts?  I think Amanda is beautiful, she's a great actress.  I feel like she's in every movie right now, she's on her way to the top!
Plus, she could definitely model if that didn't work out (maybe not, her height is a problem), she's so GORGEOUS!

Floral Femininity...and Masculinity Too!!!!

" Flowers?  For Spring?  How original."  That is the most epic line from one of my all time favorite movies...The Devil Wears Prada.  Well be they original or not, I don't care and neither do the majority of the designers, whose collections for Spring/ Summer 2011 were complete meadows.  Whoever is coming up with the ideas for a lot of the editorials that I've seen recently are obviously not caring either.

 I am so being influenced by florals right now.  I swear, my mom is getting annoyed because I keep asking her to hand over all the florals that she has in her closet.  According to her, my mourning for the bagfuls of clothes (there were so many cute floral tops and skirts in there!!!!!) she gave away last year to the less fortunate, because they were "Out of style anyway", is absolutely ridiculous.  WELL IT'S NOT!!!!!!  I want to rip those florals away from the homeless ladies that must be parading around in them right now....I had the right to inherit them first!

Ok enough with my ranting....here's some pictures of the florals that I'm currently inspired by.........................




The wonderful Lily Donaldson in the two above pics!



Olga Sherer!!!!


Free People campaign...now I know this isn't a floral, but the color of the dress is so flower-like.


Nicole, looking as gorgeous as ever!


Again, not a floral that Bambi is wearing here, but the colors in her skirt are so flowery!



Brown with teeny-tiny flowers...so cute!


She's carrying flowers!


Pink+Lace= Flowers!


One of my FAVORITE BLOGGERS EVVVVERR...Karla from Karla's Closet, wearing this epic dress (I know, I know I use that word to describe everything!)  Check her blog out! http://karlascloset.blogspot.com/

My OTHER favorite blogger, whose posts are like my fashion medications, the Vintage Virgin....although I think she's the QUEEN of Vintageland!  Head on over to her blog too http://msvintagevirgin.blogspot.com/


And although my mom says I look like a stripper with thigh-high socks, I'm getting me some just like the ones in the pic above.  They look so epic (there I go again, sorry!) with that minidress!


Male Florals and Shades of Blue 8
Male Florals and Shades of Blue 3

And these two?????  Yes I think men look so sexxxyyy with florals on!  Notice the pants on the first model and the adorable shirt and shoes on the last one.

Let me know what you think please. Leave your comments down below ladies...and gentlemen too!
