Beauty: Le Faux.

Part of me has always cringed at the sound of false lashes. Maybe because of it's association with words/names like Vegas stripper, club girl, Halloween, Paris Hilton, you get the picture. So, clearly I was in great surprise at the make-up backstage and coming down the runway for the Gucci Spring/Summer 2013 collection. The models looked bright eyed with beautifully long lashes and subtle, natural looking make-up. The look is simply beautiful. The faux lashes are big in the most perfect sense, widening the eye and paired with the nude lip and a natural toned smokey eye the look is stunning. This could definitely be an amp-up for an everyday look. 

 

Fashion Polaroids.

There's nothing that I love more than Polaroid photography. So I was thrilled when I discovered stylist and creative director Imogen Barron's Fashion Polaroid images from her personal diary. They are stunning and have a beautiful vintage quality to them. She's photographed many gorgeous faces including one of my favorites, Lara Bingle.

Refugee.

As the snow softly lays on the ground, I can officially bid this Indian summer farewell. Although I thought I was ready to let it go, I'm going to miss the warm breeze and the beautiful changing leaves. Now, my final goodbye is set with this stunning photo shoot I found over on the Ben Trovato Blog (never one to disappoint). The location, the clothes, the styling, so natural and minimal with some dark undertones. Stunning, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Animal Face.

I'm so obsessed with this trend, it's out of control. I have an entire folder in my library dedicated to animal face shirts. Why you ask? Well, sometimes, it's hard to leave your childhood behind. Having been raised the only girl with 2 brothers, I grew up playing with legos and animal figurines. Being able to mix my childhood memories of animals and now have them plastered all over my shirt, I'm so there! Fun and quirky yet throw on a leather skirt, it's super edgy. Plus, how much cooler is it having a shark face on your shirt rather than the super 90s Hello Kitty silhouette. Personally, I'm shark face, all the way.

NYFW Street Style.

Plenty of magic happens inside the Lincoln Center but sometimes the more beautiful show is the one that happens on the sidewalks. Street style is one of my favorite aspects of Fashion Week. Off-duty models, fashion editors, and bloggers all strutting down the concrete catwalk while Tommy Ton snaps away. Check out these pretty birds. 

Street Style: Cut-offs and Leather via Coachella.

What I would give to have attended Coachella this past weekend or to go next weekend. I'm so utterly jealous of those who were able to make it out there. Not only because of the great music like Azealia and Bon Iver but the neo-hippie boho-ness style that comes with this genius music festival. One day my friends. I will be at Coachella.

Any of you lucky souls able attend this weekend or will be next??
