INSPIRATION: MARIO TESTINO's GOLD STARS

I found these shots by Mario Testino's on FashionGoneRogue (such a GREAT site)... this shoot is so inspiring... not only do I love the gold ensembles but these are some of my absolute favorite models of all time. I don't expect anything less from Mario Testino... he is amazing. The rest of this shoot will be featured in the December Star issue of Vogue UK.

SOMETHING ABOUT OLIVIA

I googled images of fashionista Olivia Palermo and these are amongst the many, many stylish ensembles I found. Olivia has a unique blend of modern prep with an easy edge and femininity that I love. She is quite the mix master and I love how she can make the simplest of outfits look so CHIC. She loves to play with fashion and I love seeing what she comes up with.

What I really admire is how she makes a look, her own. She embraces trends but isn't a slave to them.

GOLD OH MY!!

Anyone that knows me, knows I favor gold. This shoot is absolutely stunning. I love the styling and the gold textures.
Gold can be sexy and I like the vibe of this shoot.

INSPIRATION: STREET STYLE

I love Fall fashion. It's my favorite time of year anyway, but I find major inspiration on Carolinesmode.com/stockholmstreetstyle. I can scroll through the images for hours. These women can put a look together and make it look effortless.

JUST FOR FUN

I just saw these images of Rachel Bilson on one of my favorite blogs, Littleplastichorses. I just love Rachel Bilson. She is so adorable. I love her playfulness.

Claudia, an ICON

I have always been a fan of Claudia Schiffer. She is so beautiful and classic. She has been
modeling for years and years and during one of my favorite model time periods, the
1990s.
