Who's that Model?

Who is this model? Does anybody know? I love her look. Kind of reminiscent of a younger Audrey Hepburn. She's quite cute and looks the part modeling The Lauren Conrad Collection. I'm a fan of the simple lines, fun colors and comfortable (yet sexy as well as classy) fit. Conrad's clothing line seems easy enough to pull off in the day or can easily be worked into a night out on the town. I want to get my hands on some of Lauren Conrad's threads...

All Things Audrey..

Ms. AUDREY HEPBURN... was a winning film and stage actress,
fashion icon and humanitarian. She was (and to this day, still is!)
the epitome of class, poise & above all, elegance. She is my idol!

Fantastique! Cat Mask.

Up Close & Personal..

a few of my favourites...

From a cup of Starbucks coffee (sugar-free* cinnamon dolce latte, no whip!) to lipgloss straight from The House of Chanel.. I'm there for it.

I really love black eyeliner, messy bed-head hair, floral fragrances, pretty dresses and skirts, Audrey Hepburn-like flats, Valentine Fillol-Cordier, stick-straight hair, shimmery gloss, coffee, chocolate (especially Dove!) backstage models, Taylor Warren, Hollywood It-Girls, Celebutantes and Socialites, "chick-flicks", salacious gossip, "girly" reading, manis and pedis, ice cream sundaes, vanilla cupcakes, brownies, spinach salads, facials, spa treatments, mindless shopping, Blair Waldorf and flowers in my hair....

Mickey meets the Beach!

an oldie, but a goodie.. I still love this photograph;
taken well over a year ago, I have good memories from then..
& I like the carefree smile on my face and the backdrop,
which really sets the "stage" .... of a relaxed vibe..

The Basics.

All the other Blogs are doing it, so I wanted to join in. It's actually quite fun seeing what everyone else thinks of as being a "basic" when looking at their wardrobe and casual attire.... Below is some of what I deem as basic staples to my everyday Style.

1.) denim.

this one's easy, as I cannot live without my heaping piles of the good ol' blue. of course i always find more that I just feel I need to add to my already overflowing collection..

2.) flats & scarves.
my two favorite everday staples.
flats are so comfortable, yet so chic at the same time. and scarves are a great way to spice up any ordinary look, or can take a daytime casual look into night!
3.) Sunglasses.
I own boxes and boxes of oversized, vintage styles.
I just can't seem to get enough! They are a piece of me when I step out.

4.) layering tees.
In all sizes, shapes, brands & colours.
I wouldn't know what to do without them...

5.) pretty little dresses

in lots of colors, prints and fabrics.
every girl loves a pretty little dress!

6.) colourful plastic!

not that kind of plastic, but the fun adorning kind.

7.) comfy sweats..

from Juicy to everything in between, I live in them;
at home and on the road when traveling...

London ROCKS!

London Ingénue: 18 year old Daisy Lowe; daughter to Bush front man, Gavin Rossdale and fashion designer, Pearl Lowe. With parents like these it’s no wonder she’s got style oozing from all sides. She rocks combat boots with neon socks laced sky high up her thighs. Pairs tights in electric colors with tweed miniskirts and dons more leather than a rock band on tour. She wears black on black better that most, in a way that both inspires and intrigues me. Part model, part It Girl, and part Scandalous; she isn’t going away anytime soon. Let the British Invasion begin!

{Models} Back Talk !

There’s a certain thrill in getting a chance to peek at what goes on with the models pre- and post show. From what clothing styles they choose to wear off the runway, to what they do while waiting for their cue to go on. They are much more down to earth than most people may think. They like to read, listen to their iPods, laugh and gossip with their friends, and even have a healthy snack or two; apples, café lattes and granola mix seem to be common backstage favorites.

My Windy Saturday!

Trying to walk in this crazy wind. . which is bringing us a cold front . . . into the low 40º's!

I love wearing comfy sweats and velour in chilly weather, it's a guilty (comfortable!) pleasure

Bird is the Word!

On this Windy Saturday afternoon,

I decided to hit the beach and the Pier for some opportune photography!

Hilton Addiction.

I can't think of anybody who does effortless chic/casual better than Nicky Hilton. I'm always floored by her subtle accents and choices. She is able to mix up what would on anybody else look like a rather humdrum, casual look ----except on her it stands out! She makes it work.

I applaud Nicky Hilton for her amazing stylistic choices!

Wedding Collage!

EYE COLOUR OVERLOAD.

Lately my obsession du jour has been eyeshadow.

Especially in warm, bronzy tones.
I'm adoring Dior and Chanel's shades of Brown Sequins and Strike it Rich!

STAM WORTHY.

JESSICA STAM.

Down to earth, flawless style and quirky ad-campaigns.
She is the "It" model of the moment in my book!
Can't get enough of her baby blues, street style and funky flats.
She's my blonde model favorite.

Foodie!

When I start to crave something to eat; it’s usually fruit, something salty or honey flavoured. I like to start my day with a cup of fruit, a cheese wedge and some type of fruit juice. I usually follow this up with a light mid-morning “snack let” of a bowl of Cereal with organic 1% milk.

My lunches tend to include an assorted variety of; ham & cheese on multigrain bread, some type of soup or yogurt, Salads, fruit & cheese….

My favorite stops are: Starbucks, California Pizza Kitchen (I caved and went a second time leaving in an absolute bliss over my meal!) Calistoga Bakery, Brio, Kona Grill, J. Alexander's, Red Lobster, Sweet Tomatoes, Subway, Frullati, Su's Garden, The Melting Pot and Chick Fil-A….

I can’t help to have a craving for something a little sweet sometimes either. I love Starbucks’ Cinnamon Dolce lattes. Red Velvet cake and Vanilla cupcakes are also favorites of mine. I can never have enough Swedish Fish (or Teddy Graham cookies with caramel sauce!) either… Tea and coffee usually start and end my day!

SHAKE. SHAKE.
