Editorial: L'échappée Belle.

I'm so so so excited for Fall. It's absolutely my favorite season. Here in Colorado we have to enjoy the nice crisp days we have because snow comes way before winter does here so I take advantage of these lovely days. What I love about fall is the layering. T-shirts and chambrays, flannels with silk, scarves, boots, the list goes on and on. This editorial in VOGUE PARIS' SEPTEMBER 2013 issue is really setting the mood for the season. Just the right amount of rugged with an edge and no compromise on the comfort with the amazing suede jackets and undone boots. How fantastic is the hair and makeup as well? Those braids are so pretty with the deep part. 

Cereal Magazine Volume 3.

CEREAL magazine, a beautiful London based mag that focuses on food, travel, and books. Seriously, the loves of my life. The images are absolutely breathtaking and the magazine itself feels more like a book with it's thick paper and slightly faded images that make you dream of distant places. I browsed through the first two volumes at a specialty magazine store in New York and couldn't believe what an experience it was to flip through the pages. The THIRD VOLUME has been released and it's everything and more than I expected. Take a look...

Editorial: Vogue's Gone Gram.

Nothing I love more than good ol' instagram. The app that has seriously taken over my life. Mostly because I love looking at beautiful things and there are some fantastic grammers out there that really just cheer me up everyday. Vogue + Instagram + Editorial = love at first sight. The fashion bible decided to take their high res pictures down some notches and add a Valencia filter through the hands of photographer MICHAEL O'NEAL. The images where shot around New York City with the beautiful ARLENIS SOSA and they really turned out trés belle.

 

Beach Babe.

I'M BACKKKK.

 

Life has finally settled down a bit and I'm so ready to get back to my blog. I have missed all of you and I hope you missed me, maybe even just a little. 

Although its three days away from the first day of summer, the heat has been overwhelming here in Colorado and I'm actually quite enjoying it. I've always liked warm weather over cold but when it's been hitting 95 degrees, there is nothing I wouldn't do to get my booty to a beach. Unfortunately, that's where living in a landlocked state is not ideal. No beaches, no ocean, so the pool will have to suffice, which is where I've spent plenty of time. 

I came across this editorial this morning and knew it was the first post I wanted to do coming back. If this editorial doesn't say summer, I'm not sure what does. I absolutely love the boy-ish yet kind of sexy looks. Pairing a loose t-shirt with high-waisted swim shorts, amaze. Leather ball caps and reflective sunnies, so chic. Oh, and don't forget a Chanel surf board to top it all off.

 

Wedding: The Lane.

I am completely smitten over a new website I discovered called THE LANE. Dedicated to weddings and brides, this website was created to help women plan their perfect wedding that is completely unique to them and their style. Perfect for the not-so-typical brides and brides to be out there. Beautiful for inspirations and style guides for picking the perfect dress for your perfect day and everything else in between.

Kinfolk - Ice Cream and Flowers.

I'm a huge fan of Kinfolk Magazine, a simplistic mag made by young artists for artists and food enthusiasts. Although I can't always spend money on every volume, I still enjoy the editorials I can find online and I always try to browse through it at Anthropology. This issue was no different with a beautiful editorial by photographer Parker Fitzgerald. So pretty, it's making me super excited for spring time. 

Throwback Thursday: Kerr Goes Kiwi.

Back in August 2012, Miranda Kerr did a photo shoot in Wellington New Zealand, a country she had visited at the tender age of 17 when she first began her modeling career. Living in tents and swimming in hot springs, this experience was unforgettable for Kerr and she always wished to return one day. Luckily, handsome hubby Orlando Bloom was filming the Lord of the Rings series prequel The Hobbit in New Zealand and Kerr was able to join him for a 7 month journey.  

Kerr definitely did not ruff it this time like she had on her first visit for she was with her precious baby boy Flynn this time around. However, the three of them had an incredible time as Kerr describes in the article for T Magazine. Talking about her adventures as well as sharing favorite restaurants, hotels and spots. The article is really beautiful and just made me love Mommy Kerr so much more.

Here are some of the images shot by non-other than Orlando Bloom.

Childhood Dream.

Childhood Dream is a story about the fight between staying innocent and young, and when society wants you to grow up and be a woman. “It is a difficult time in almost every girls life,” Hannah says, adding: “The balloons symbolizes the playfulness and the colorful clothing symbolizes the “princess in every girl” – yet the clothes are made for a grown up woman and Lovisa’s [model] expressions are bit confused and irritated.” - Hannah Hedin

Just beautiful. 

Colour Spotlight: Pale Pink.

J'adore!  

Nothing says spring time like pastel colours and what better way to welcome this pretty weather with a hint of pale pink. It's so subtle that even a head to toe look doesn't look overwhelming. 

I'm smitten over T by Alexander Wang pale pink dress with the cutouts from his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. It's so feminine and edgy at the same time.

For those of you who are lucky enough to have blonde tresses, try adding a touch of pink to your ends or even at the back/bottom of your hair to add a pretty touch of colour when you pull your hair up in a pony or a braid!

Anyone tried pale pink in their wardrobe yet?
