Barbie for President!



I love Barbie- I'm actually a bit obsessed! Barbie is running for President, again. Presidential Candidate Barbie has come a long way, thanks to Chris Benz. I actually think we'd be better off with her in office than some of the clowns that are running.

Rihanna x Elle Mag


Rihanna and her beautiful blonde tresses grace the cover of Elle's May 2012 issue. When questioned about dating she says "There’s just a major drought out there." If there's a drought for Ri-Ri there is absolutely NO hope for the rest of us. Sigh. Drought or not she looks amazing in this Versace number.

Still a Fly Girl

I love Jennifer Lopez (aka J.Lo, aka Jenny from the block). I'm not totally sure why I'm so obsessed with her. Maybe it's the clothes, maybe it's because I grew up watching her, or maybe it's because she still seems like a chick from the Bronx.

She looked amazing this week on American Idol in this Michael Kors bubble gum pink dress!

For the longest time I thought that clear heels were exclusively for strippers and women of the night; however, lately I've found myself obsessing over any shoe with a transparent anything.

Alberta Ferretti x Macy's

I'm a Chicago native so I grew up shopping at Marshall Field's and am by nature I'm not a huge Macy's fan. BUT Macy's is a monster that cannot be ignored. And ever since they started carrying Rachel by Rachel Roy I've become a somewhat frequent shopper. I was impressed with their previous colab with Doo.Ri and their latest venture with Alberta Ferretti is just as hot.

Can't Stop Won't Stop

So I'm long overdue for a new pair of jeans but I can't stop buying shoes! Although I'm anxiously awaiting a pair of sandals I ordered last week to arrive I couldn't resit

Looking forward to wearing them with my new jeans once I get around to ordering them. 


The Little Black Jacket: Chanel's Classic Revisited



His royal highness, Karl Lagerfeld, and her majesty, Carine Roitfeld, are collaborating on a book all of about the classic Chanel little black jacket. They styled the jacket on a ton of my friends celebrities, models, and just really cool people in interesting ways - to breath life in to the iconic jacket. I can't wait- my coffee table is gonna look so cool

How a Chanel Jacket is Made




This short, simple video is the most inspiring video I've seen in a while.... I haven't been posting as much as a like because I've been glued to my sewing machine and cutting board. I'm addicted and this video is making me miss my baby home sewing machine - and wish I had a Chanel jacket of course.
