Andy Warhol had his muses too...




Subconscious, but also conscious, Inspiration.

Since I have lately taken to sharing my outfits with you more frequently, I only found it fitting to also share some of the inspiration behind my thinking when it comes to picking these certain ensembles. Welcome to my world, behind the scenes, so to speak.

• The coffee table book, Influence, penned by Mark Kate and Ashley Olsen, is a widespread collection of interviews featuring iconic legends in the Fashion realm. These are some noteworthy Q and A sessions with the likes of Mary Kate and Ashley's own personal private muses.

• A teeny, tiny, stuffed, black French poodle. A past Holiday present I have yet been able to part with. She seems so very French to me and her given name is Orange Marmalade.

• The beautiful red sequined hair clip in the shape of a bow, so fitting for the little part of Dorothy in us all. "There is no place like home, there is no place like home, there is no place like.."

Sex and The City, the movie. Yes, I felt the series was better on television, only because it delved deeper into the individual characters' lives, but finally getting to see Big and Carrie and their marvelous romance on the big screen? Kind of a blockbuster moment too. Not to mention the shoes, shoes, shoes and more shoes. Was I the only one enamored by Carrie Bradshaw's wardrobe yet again!? I think not!

Heart shaped sunglasses in a light flirty pink? Check. Because the girly girl in me said so. Thank you, Suzanne. ;)

Nylon magazine. It's as if all of my favorite editorial and photo blogs got married and had this beautiful little baby! Doesn't hurt that many of my favorites have graced their hallowed halls and donned their best to be captured for the cover; Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Leighton Meester, 90210's entire female cast, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen, and Zooey Deschanel, just to name a few.

The Tudors. Season 1; because that's all I've seen so far (one episode left to go before I can move onto Season 2) and because of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Henry Cavill.. that's all!

A Year in Fashion by Pascal Morche, which I had to purchase when I heard my good friend Lissa was getting it. Hello, a book so thick you can't carry it with only one arm, and totally loaded with fashion? And Audrey Hepburn is on the cover? YES, YES, YES!!!!

• My trusty Composition notebook, filled with doodles, recipes, notes, ideas, quotes, song lyrics, wish lists and anything else worth jotting down. I carry "her" (yes, her) with me everywhere. I call her Jules.

• The most beautiful color in the world to me, is purple. So it is only natural to state how much I adore my decadent lilac ring from Ice.com.

• The tiny periwinkle twinkle between Influence and my Composition notebook belongs to a ring my Mother surprised me with some odd three years ago. It was exactly the bauble I needed to finish off my look for my Cousin's wedding. I treasure it for the many memories that come with it, every time I wear it.

Framed Audrey Hepburn photograph. Taken from an Audrey Hepburn picture fan book, I had to preserve her in frame. This is my favorite still from Breakfast at Tiffanys. The hairstyle, Givenchy dress, pearls, sunglasses, croissant, gloves, Tiffanys!

The Tide is High, let's Walk the Line






My favorite way to mix up my clothing choices is by going the vintage route. These shorts belonged to my Mom when she was in her thirties, vintage Liz Claiborne. She rocked them then, and I will continue to rock them now. I love the satiny softness of the material as well as the ultra practical pockets.

Also, if you are ever looking for an image hosting site, no more bandwidth exceeding, and all fast and free? You can check out ImageSheep.com for reliable service.

I've Got Your Number







Wore this cute little number out for lunch yesterday at Miami eatery, Tiramesu. If you like Italian cuisine, then this is the place to be; located on Lincoln Rd. I chose the jumper two sizes up, on purpose; for the baggier, slouchier, fit. I am enamored with my graffiti Fashion Chalet tote which you can find at Personalized Graffiti Bag from Bags of Love London. Bags of Love offer many wonderful ideas for gifts, the personalization is a bonus.

Tango in Paris










Houstina over at Cowgirl Heaven send over the loveliest ruffled vest. A nice way to shift, with ease, from summer into fall. It's as soft as it is stylish. Ever since I saw Shall We Dance (first the Japanese version, and then the US one) I fell in love with both the story; romantic and comical, and the music. Right now you're listening to the song Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere dance to in the American version. This post is also the debut of my Carrie Bradshaw heels. Can you believe that I bought these many moons ago and haven't, until recently, remembered to wear them? No, they aren't Dior, but yes, they are just as lovely to wear and look at. Oh and I was very excited today when I found out that I am on StyleSite here is the screen cap.

help! in need of a truly authentic large givenchy nightingale



help! in need of a truly authentic large givenchy nightingale

I am looking for one just like ashley's carrying. I know that one of you out there has one laying around, or knows someone that has one calling my name. Ebay is not to be trusted and I am willing to pay a pretty penny to get my hands on one.

I am looking for the large Givenchy Nightingale with gunmetal or silver hardware in Black. I want it in a basic leather. I do not like the lambskin or any of the other finishes at Barneys.

I beg of you all to help me! If you are a blogger and help me in this endeavor, I will feature/advertise your blog on the sidebar of Olsens Anonymous forever! I am even willing to pay a finders fee.

I know, I know. so many last seasons ago. I can't help it though!
It has never left my wishlist since I first laid eyes on it...

anyone? please email olsensanonymous@gmail.com


p.s. the version pictured here is no longer available in stores.
there are many at barneys, but not this version :(

Kimchi Blue







I fell in love with this floral print romper from Urban Outfitters when I first spotted Lauren Conrad sporting it. The vibrancy of the colors and floral detailing is just amazing. I couldn't stop staring at it. I knew I had to have it for prancing around in during these last few weeks of Summer. I paired it with a cardigan once belonging to my late Great Grandmother, the gold button detailing is my favorite.
