A Dose of Color

Have you ever taken the foil wrapper of a piece of Red Hot gum and licked it and then stuck it on your skin? The intense cinnamon flavor of the gum leaves a trace on the paper. When you peel it off after words it leaves a tingling sensation and sometimes a red spot. The Warming Mineral mask from The Body Shop has a similar effect, which is what I love about it. It cleanses your skin by warming and opening up your pores with the magic of cinnamon. It leaves your skin baby soft.

My current favorite color for Spring is the amethyst "Sexy Divide" from Essie. It's the same shade of purple that keeps appearing in the Spring ads from Louis Vuitton.

Techno Blanket

The Proenza Fall 2011 collection is to die for! I absolutely adore the Midwest blanket patterns especially used in the trousers. The burnt velvet pattern used in the evening dress has a hypnotizing LED lights effect. A showstopper for sure on a night out! LOVE.

Sunday Brunch

I can't stop eating Vosges' Mo's Bacon Bar! It is one of the most delicious specialty chocolates that I've ever have. All the delicate flavors makes it so much better than all the other ones.

Color Blocking

So about two weeks ago I took a picture of all my shoes and realized I owned nothing outside of the neutral color palette. Coincidently today when i was shopping for desert shoes for my bf as a Valentine's Day present, I came across these lovely Stuart Weitzmans. The best part of it all is that they were on sale and they were a quarter of what it was originally. I need to go to shoe therapy.

Bill Cunningham

The very first time that I heard about Mr. Bill Cunningham was in my Fashion Business class. We had read two articles about him (probably the only few that existed at that time). After I read the articles I thought he was a shy but incredible man who captures the zeitgeist of Fashion. It was most recently in September 2010, during Fashion Week that I got to see him in action. Unfailingly I spotted him with his signature blue jacket and his trusty camera. At the time I had no one to share that moment of appreciation with, but seeing him lit a spark in me. It was a such treat being able to watch him work and capture moments of perfection. In March a film will be out about him, watch the trailer here. Can't wait!
