MM ♥ BRIGHT BLUE LASHES @ STELLA

I dunno about the whole Stella McCartney Fall 2012/2013 collection yet...I haven't really paid too much attention. I tend to browse through the show lookbooks quickly and I know right then if I'm taken...or not. But I do think they did a great job with the bright blue mascara...this bit looks chunky and electric and really suits almost every single type of girl. This is the shade of blue that I love for eyeliner (and the shade that was realllly popular in the 90s...Lancome had a great eyeliner in that shade back then...and this blue eyeliner is mentioned in my upcoming novel...LOADS of fashion and beauty in the book...). I can't tell if they applied black mascara first and then layered the blue over it or what. But it's definitely chunky and paired with a very very nude/pale/simple face. The KEY to this look to to apply a load on your BOTTOM lashes as well as the top. Really fantastic little detail and accessory (pretty much) to this show. I also love all the ballerina buns.♡

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ RIP DAVY JONES :(



I was so sad to hear that one of The Monkees, Davy Jones (the cute cute one), passed away. When I was in junior high/middle school, they would play The Monkees shows from the 60s/70s on one of the local stations and all the girls at my school were obsessed. We tape recorded them and talked about them. We loved the Mods and we LOVED The Monkees. So it's a big part of my teen years or early teen years or tween years. Rather than play some of the show clips, I thought it would be cool to have the movie HEAD (from 1968) on here...the one film The Monkees made. And, yeah...The Monkees are totally fashion related. If you love all that groovy swinging London stuff, the girls in all of their shows and the film have great hair and makeup and dresses and shoes. And the furniture and everything is what I always look for at thrift shops. RIP Davy Jones. You will be missed.♡

FF ♥ CARVEN IS IN IT TO WIN IT

So many of these dresses from the CARVEN FALL WINTER 2012/2013 COLLECTION can be worn in so many ways by so many different types of women. And I love that. But I love the way the models are styled for this show, too. Carven is making a big statement every time a new season comes around...it's like the dark horse of labels...before you know it, it'll be king. Just watch and see. (I also love the pairing of these babydolls with the Mary Janes.)♡



perfect model perfect outfit perfect styling




these remind me so much of the philo chloé days...which is why i think they will sell well.



i reallllly love this dress, too...these pieces with what looks like images from the garden of earthly delights!
