SUNSHINE AWARD


After hearing about the sad loss of Alexander McQueen today, I was thinking that it isn't the best of days. But when I saw this adorable Sunshine Award that Alyson Blaire, of Culture and Couture, one of my favorite blogs, sent me, I felt better. Thank you so much Alyson. Check out her blog here!

In order to accept the Sunshine Award you need to:
-Put the award on your blog (or in one of your posts)
-Pass it to 6 fellow bloggers and let them know they received it

-Enjoy the new found fame :)

The six deserving blogs I have chosen:

I was completely shocked when I heard this morning that the brilliantly talented Alexander McQueen is no longer with us. He is one of the best designers of our time. He is more than just a designer, for his art has touched the lives of so many people. Alexander McQueen leaves a legacy that will live on forever. RIP Sir Alexander McQueen you will be truly missed.

Photo of the Day


Kate Moss by Sølve Sundsbø

There are countless websites to draw inspiration. Sites where you could find great editorials, interesting photos of models, or laid back street style. Two of my favorite sites that I am consistently perusing are http://fashiongonerogue.com and http://www.thefashionspot.com/, and http://fashioncopious.typepad.com. I am also checking out countless fashion and style blogs as well but there are too many to name!

What are some of your favorite sites for inspiring photos?

SOME LIKE IT HAUTE

















Source: Fashion Copius

I know, I know I usually blog about my love for the models of the 1990s. I do really favor these models for their strength and longevity, however, there are some fierce ladies that I currently admire. (I couldn't resist Carolyn Murphy's latest ads-- haven't seen her in a while) I could have picked so many more but Rome wasn't built in a day ya know!? Oh and I totally covet the new Pinky campaign featuring Erin Wasson, shot by Terry Richardson... AMAZING! (http://fashiongonerogue.com)

Thoughts?
