clunky, high, and studded.

Since this glorious Chanel version is so far out of my reach (worn also by Alexa in Vogue UK's March issue)...



at least, I can rest assured that Zara (my personal chain fave) has a chic little version for a whole lot less -- oh sweet joy!

i'm a sucker for big hair

it's funny -- I find myself unable to jet out my house without a good session with my blowdryer and a few injections of mousse. big hair has been a little obsession of mine for quite some time.

here's a little homage to some lovely ladies with gorgeous locks.

I just did a post on Caroline not too long ago... and I could do another one again. and again.

spotlighting spring/summer 2010 trends

From my take on these shows, the evident trend that seemed to be looming amidst the catwalks of many of our beloved designers has leaned towards a play on underwear as outerwear. I found it quite interesting how several shared this common aesthetic approach to this upcoming Season's designs.

Hmmm, I wonder. What do you guys think of this trend? (although, regardless what's in or not, I'll always be a fan of the tasteful, timeless bustiers)
