Inspiring Monday

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Mine was pretty busy but I did manage to relax a lot on Sunday so it made me happy! A couple of interesting facts I found out today…did you know that Marc Jacobs can’t drive? And Carine Roitfeld’s husband is the owner of the beloved shirt label equipment. How cool is that?Vogue Market Editor Jessica Sailor shows us how to look impressive at the office! I love that slit in her skirt…subtle but sexy!My favorite working girl style inspirations…simple, chic, modern and polished.1. Spring Sheer Panel Knit $170.00 (Reissonline.com) 2. Paris Cropped Trouser $180.00 (Reissonline.com) 3. Baroque Sunglasses $290.00 (safsfifthavenue.com) 4. Naomi Necklace by Dannijo $195.00 (charmandchain.com) 5. Sports Cargo Bag $74.99 (modcloth.com) 6.YVES SAINT LAURENT Opyum pointed leather pumps $795.00 (netaporter.com) I love the way these girls wear polkadots!Aren’t these couples just too cute together?I love powerful women who are creative and excellent in their field! Gucci’s designer Frida Giannini is 38 years old and never married and I remembered reading an interview where she told her married friends to slow down and enjoy life. Read more about her interview here! I really think women like her should be highlighted more in the media where they are happy being single and successful on their own. They’re so inspiring to me!

The best of Copenhagen Fashion Week

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

I’ve been looking at the images from Copenhagen Fashion Week and there were so many stunning collections that it was hard to choose my favorites. But here are the best 3 collections in my opinion.I just adore this collection from Wackerhaus! Breezy pants, great proportions and chic tailoring.This collection from Munthe plus SImonsen brings Isabel Marant to mind but it’s strong enough to stand out on its own. Look at those boots!This collection from Anna Sophia Madsen is one of the most innovative shows I’ve seen. I love the unexpected cuts and prints. Plus those ballet shoes are spectacular!
And some of my other favorite looks…From Left to right: Guldknappen, Terminal 2 Press Shows, Stine Goya, Avia of Scandinavia

What about you? Which collection do you like best? xoxoxoxoxoo

Have a delicious weekend!

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

It’s been a pretty good week for me and although I’m a little stressed about going back to school, I’m so excited to learn new things! I was about to leave my office today when a guy approached me and started a conversation with me. It was uncomfortable because he first said “My Goodness, what a cute little figure you have! Look at you!”. Then he said he’s from Tennessee and how I can probably detect his southern accent and how he has ten siblings and blah..blah..blah…He’s a lot older than I am (I guess in his late thirties) and I’m already too creeped out by his first remark so I just smiled and didn’t say much. I wanted to leave but I didn’t want to be rude so I listened to his ramblings for about 10 more minutes and finally he said we should hang out (No thanks!) and left. How do you guys show a guy that you’re not interested and turn him down politely? I’m really curious because sometimes I don’t know what to do or say!Gorgeous new compaign shot by Garance Dore for Petit Bateau.Love these outfits for my weekend inspirations!What I want to indulge in this weekend..ice cream and strawberry shortcake! 1. The Ashe shirt (Club Monaco) 2. Red Pleated Skirt $69.00 (oasis-stores.com) 3. Brass Knot Necklace $455.00 (charmandchain.com) 4. ASOS Flat Round Tortoiseshell Sunglasses $25.86 5.

Easy Breezy Summer Girl

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

It’s not easy living in Hawaii because we have the craziest weather (I’d like to think so!). Imagine walking down the street and you see the sun is shining and all of a sudden, the downpour comes and you look up and the sun is still shining like it’s nobody’s business! And the wind almost knock you down while you’re trying to figure out what to do.  See? Three things happening at the same time! Rain, Wind and sun! That’s Hawaii for you!

But it’s almost always warm outside so I usually dress in light layers. Here are some of my inspirations….I love how the skirt is blowing in the wind!These three ladies are so smart! The first one knotted her maxi dress at the bottom to show her shoes and the second one makes the night slip dress looks sexy for daytime and the third one makes it appropriate to wear it for the office by pairing it with the jacket. Genius!I want more maxi skirts! More colors too!
1. painted silk maxidress $225.00 (Madewell.com) 2. long tee dress $88.00 (Madewell.com) 3. darling dots dress $158.00 (madewell.com)I love these equipment blouse so much! They’re a must-have for my wardrobe! Equipment Signature Blouse $345.00 (netaporter.com)Perfect skirts to wear for summer, don’t you think? From left to right: 1. stylestalker Floral Print Chiffon Skirt $206.87, 2. ASOS Dip Back Maxi Skirt $68.96 3. ASOS Pleat Maxi Skirt $86.20

Do you guys have crazy weather where you are? How do you dress for dysfunctional weather?

Have an easy, breezy beautiful day my loves! xoxoxoxoxo
