sweet valley high

i used to love reading sweet valley high. and now kimberley gordon (cofounder of Wildfox), like always, whips up a dreamy lookbook for wildfox's new summery collection. dreaming of sharing secrets, pinky promises and pizza on the floor with friends and lounging by the pool with pretzel floaties of course. now to get through finals......BLAH

see more here at the wildfox blog (one of my favorite reads)!

it's a wicked case of the eighties

an editorial in the form a film? oh you, betcha.
that and a whole bunch of hair whippin, finger lickin goodness to the beat of duran duran.
and who better to prance around to the rhythm of the eighties than anja, natasha, and isabeli.

please forgive me.

Ok, ummmm all i can say is I'M SO SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Laziness, fashion month (which I hope you all followed on Style.com), thanksgiving eateries, halloween craziness and work have kept me in a state of frenzy. Yes, laziness drives me into a crazy state. But fear not, I have continued to keep up with my share of daily blog reading list, magazines, etc... and I have a whole bunch of inspiration and creativity to share with you.

All my latest obsessions are scattered below in no particular order because I absolutely love it all. Hopefully I can make up my absence with an uber long post. Besides work, I've been giving a shot at some styling working with a photographer friend who is beginning to introduce himself to the fashion photography world. Who better than to help him out than someone obsessed with clothes? ME :D... ok, annoying, moving on... it's only the beginning so try not to be too harsh (I'm openly sensitive about what I'm doing yet I'm curious to see the response. hehe). Looking forward to projects during Christmas time! Got some new outfits too. Woo! K, I'm turkey-stuffed. Will be knocking out in 5...4...3....2.... zzzzZZZz.

ode to the recessionista

This has got to be one of my favorite editorials so far this season.

1) because my girl Sasha P. is in the house! (haha, ignore my wannabe-ghettoness)

2) shows that almost anything can be turned into clothing and then be put into a top-dollar magazine

3) and because it is aware of our world's economical changes and makes it still ok to wear thousand-dollar furs, shoes, and socks anyway.

Here are my top picks from the editorial because the shopping bags actually become accessories or articles of clothing, but the full editorial can be found in this month's W or here!

anja girl

this girl is nothing less than perfect. omgosh just look at that rockin body!

anja rubik has to be my favorite model by far.

her ad campaigns are so over-the-edge and so fun at the same time.

she can definitely-no-doubt-about-it pull off that short hair.

sigh...now if my legs could just extend about six inches longer maybe we could be friends.

and this is only a taste of anja's modeling perfection.
