SHOE ME THURSDAY ♥ CARVEN

I loved this spring 2011 collection from Carven. It was young and sexy and clean. And, even though I love love platforms, I think there's something Frenchie girl about a normal pump. Especially if they have bunny ears! It's nice to see some of the lesser-known lines (even if they're from old-school fashion houses like this one which was founded by Madame Carven in 1945) really shining this season. Bravo, Guillaume Henry.♡

great editorial outfit!

i love the pattern of this dress. plus the styling. really chic.

these are so cute and simple. just enough.

this look is a bit strange...but all together on the model it looks great.

love these.

such a sweet look and great coat! see how the coat and the shoes do it all?

ears on the shoulders and no ears on the shoes. smart.

perfect outfit for a cute girl like this to wear to an art opening.

easy chic. that's what this is.

this dress is gorgeous. love it. and the styling is lovely.

gorgeous carven campaign...i love that dress with the peter pan collar!

campaign photo for carven...lovely!!

WEDNESDAY WONDER ♥ SERGIO ZAMBON

Wow...take a look at this lovely little collection I discovered from some Italian genius named Sergio Zambon ! Here's the deal (if you're not in Europe...especially if you are in the States)...these shows never make it to the style.coms or the US Vogues. NEVER. Due to appeasing advertising, etc. Dunno why. Thank goodness for the Internet (in this respect) because I can now cruise all the other Vogues around the world and see these lovely lovely creations. These 60s (so done right) looks are the very same looks I endlessly look for in every thrift (charity) shop, in every good vintage boutique, at so so many estate sales. These are the goooods. And then I have to mention the so so good styling. So on point. So Italian. Old school Italian. And I rather like seeing faces I don't recognize. I'd take all of the pieces in this post in a heartbeat. And I hope to do so one day soon. (And then look at the banana heel he designed on the bottom for a previous collection! Fun!)♡

OMG. Are you kidding me? I would kill to have this dress!

Chic! Chic! Chic!

This is so totally ridiculously hot...I think you need to learn Italian just to wear it.

Love it. Will work on copying it for next summer. This is a good length to shorten loose vintage dresses to.

love it.

So so loving the chicness.

Such a pretty pretty dress. So flattering and timeless.

A perfect coat for all your pieces above.

TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ CHARLES ANASTASE

I know LFW is over, but that doesn't mean I'm over covering some designers that turned it on. Truth be told, a lot of the shows in Italy that just happened super bummed me out (like Pucci). And I loved a lot of the looks created by Charles Anastase, who, for me, is super punk rock not in style, but in ethics of challenging the business. This spring 2011 show was really done well. Stylee. Wearable. Nancy Girl. I don't think these photos do the collection justice. They probably looked waaay more cute in person. :) He's going to be a HUGE player soon. Watch and see. ♡

chic chic lady on the edge. it's hot. love it.

really sweet and good for work or lunch. don't tell me you wouldn't notice a girl walking down the street looking like this.

i love love this look. and any girl who can get away with this look, should. even with a little black bikini top underneath it would still be lovely. i love me a swiss dot. plus i love the shoes in this show. and the hair and the faces.

this is also another good for work or lunch or gallery opening. it's styleeeeeee. it's chiiiic. it's girrrrl.

love these shoes! they make the sweet outfits edgy.

i love this casual look so much. it's just missing a good bag.it's perfectly done. sexy even. yep.

ok, this is hot. and hard to pull off. but i love love swiss dots and white swiss dot outfit! come on...it's sweet and out there.

i'll take a swiss dot any day!

really really sweet and crazy at the same time. not sure what this would be worn for...but it's still cool to look at in the show.

MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ ELEY KISHIMOTO...NAILS!

Yes I am totally bummed out. Why couldn't it happen HERE! In the States?!?!? On September 11th, if you were near their Kingly Street (London) shop, you could have walked in and had your nails Eley-Kishimoto-ed up, y'all....for FREE! Dang. Damn. That sounds HOT. :( Next time? ♡
