Photo Fun

If you're also really into photography, check out Kristen Duke's blog. She's recently been featuring other bloggers and how they like to decorate with photos.
One of my favorite ideas from eighteen25 on KD Photography.
Centsational Girl's beautiful display. I think my Southern Protocol bosses would die.

Classy Camera Carries!

I was scrolling my way through the latest post on House of Smiths when I saw that mama has a brand new bag. And it is cute! I've always hated carrying around my cameras because of the ugly, bulky bags necessitated to maintain them and FINALLY someone has made fashion-friendly alternatives! Check out some of Jo Totes's bags below.


I personally love Ms. Smith's new Betsy bag in Mustard. Since I bought a mustard leather purse from Aldo this past spring, I have been in love with the color. Maybe I'll redesign Sew That's How in cobalt and mustard with white? See, it looks good on this girl on Lookbook! Thoughts?
Doesn't it look very Mad Men? I love this purse!!!


I also LOVE these wallets in orange and blue, and I'm in the market for a new one! Think I can get Aldo to sponsor me?

Living room makeover!

Hi all! Check out what I did tonight!

I took a really pretty summer table cloth from Target and hand-sewed some corners into it so it would cover my messy bookcases. Simple! I didn't cut anything out of the fabric, though, in case I want to use it to cover more space in the future! Whaddya think?
And don't you just love these frames I got at The RSVP Shoppe on Broad? ONLY $12 EACH!!!

VS's Hypnotic make-up is sure to hypnotize

Victoria Secret has launched a small collection of lipstick, eyeliner, blush/highlighter and eyeshadow in a pretty palette.  Aside from the pretty pinks and purples featured in this collection, the cases may actually steal the show.  Decorated in geometric shapes of pink-and-orange or purple-and-blue, outlined in gold, the cases are worth showing off.  I certainly hope they continue the collection and even make the palettes interchangeable.

Givenchy Fall 2011 Couture

Sigh. Riccardo Tisci once again does wonders with his Couture collection for Givenchy. The immense attention he gave each detail created a stunning collection. One day, when I'm famous, I'll ask him to make my wedding gown - as long as he covers everything up!


Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen



...again.  Remember earlier this year when Dior's genius, John Galliano, was jailed and subsequently fired after making anti-Semitic comments (which were also caught on tape)? Well, his protege, Bill Gaytten, has been released from his cage and has quite literally created a circus. In the Dior Couture fall 2011, the poor models looked like they had been layered in taffeta, gazar, and organza and then dragged through a children's birthday party. And then to make things worse (or to clarify Gaytten's inspiration - as if you could have missed it) Karlie Kloss was dressed in rags as a sad Pierrot for the final look. Following its review, Style.com asks the question, "what's next?" Perhaps Gaytten won't last.
Send in the clowns....

She has a gumball on her head. Really.
Confetti anyone?
A little Cirque, no?

Summer Lovin'

Don't you love the pattern combination on this Marni bag?  That "collage" style as Style.com calls it, is continuing into the fall!  So feel free to have fun and go wild!

As for the bag, if only Marni would collaborate with Target.  Instead, we'll have to find similar fabric to make this bag ourselves.  Or, buy it for $295.
