"Totes Les Filles Sont Folles"

Translation: All The Girls Are Mad!

This fall (2012) I will be spending the season in a Parisian paradise... jealous? well dry those green eyes and join me by indulging in Kate Spades fall 2012 collection.

Peach Punch

If you haven''t been to a Kate Spade store or the website in february, you really should stop by, it will brighten your day... literally! The store is covered with bold pops of florescent coral and patent peaches! I drew inspiration from this powerful pallet for today's look and challenged myself by wearings pants (ghasp!).

fashion recap: the oscars

Its finally here... Hollywoods biggest night out, The 84th Academy Awards!

Lets not waste any more time, and get right into seeing some of the stars that shined on the red carpet this evening....

bubbly boho

I was inspired by Nichole Richi cira 2009ish and her boho glam style today (up top), and a bit by Gaga (look south of my ankles), but I had to add some over-the-top accessories and a girly twist to make it my own.

project peacoat

I love my lady readers (girl power!), but this one's for the guys!

The reader request above serves as the inspiration this man candy post...

 Since I wear pea-coats in a different, less masculine way, I started by getting inspired by some stylish men! (and don't worry ladies, they aren't too shabby to look at either!)

Nude Sneakers

Check out this reader request from the always fabulous Jackie!

I too love the idea of tan converse Jackie, and we aren't the only ones...

Spade Steals: Belts $$$

Back by popular demand, is another Spade Worthy Steals look!

This time, I'm showing you two ways to get the kate spade look for less in beautiful belts!

Let me begin by stating that Kate Spade belts are not that pricey and are better quality than the imitator products, so I recommend investing in one of these belted beauties. However, for you fashionistas on a budget, I found some ways to get the look for less.

Retro Stripes

I have still yet to recover from my current case of the stripes...

This final striped look is a little bit girlie, flirty and retro.

Fashion Recap: Grammys

Welcome back to another fashion recap! This time we discuss the looks of some of the biggest names in music at the 2012 Grammy Awards! I love the Grammy's because its a less formal event that allows, and even encourages the stars to have some fun with their fashion choices!

Although, all together tonight's looks were less-eye catching when compared to previous years, I still must respect the spirit of the Grammys. As a result, I won't be classifying the looks as "best" and "worst" or giving any outfits makeovers like I usually do. Instead I just want to show you some of the must see looks!
