A Bohemian Princess for Halloween



In the spirit of the holiday, I started my morning with chocolate brownie moisturizing shampoo. And instantly began the day after a homemade cinnamon latte, with mocha mixed in.

Thinking of Halloweens past, I remember when I was Little Red Riding Hood in the 4th grade. Minnie Mouse in the 5th grade (my little brother was Mickey!) And my favorite, a Ballerina Princess (tiara, tutu, wand and all) when I was 6 years old. I thought it fit to have a Princess theme tied in with Bohemia and my ever present favorite, Pocahontas, for this year.

Happy Halloween! Have fun. Be safe! Trick or treat; hope you get something good to eat. ;) I have a dinner party to attend. Until next time, Ciao! my lovelies....

Balmain, my love!





Test driving my new suede booties. I have a feeling these babies are going to come in handy, come the cooler weather. I slip in and out of them like butter. They could not have been designed any better. I love their fit, look and comfort. Almost cuter than the real ones (I like the heel on these much more, than on the originals.) Thank you, Bakers, for replicating the Balmain delight and satisfying our palate!

BECOMING JANE dress




I thought today would be a fun day to bring out this dress again. For the new readers, these boots were also worn here. This morning, when my alarm woke me up, I grabbed for my Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen book, Influence, instead of crawling out of bed. I dove right back in to read, browse and be in awe just a little. Which cover did you get? I got Ashley.

Guess what? In other fun news, Lucky magazine has teamed up with The Supermelon to choose their own winners, completely separate from Lucky's finalists.

Romper Room!




As I upload this particular set, I loll about in my romper listening to Devendra Banhart. The album? Smokey Rolls down Thunder Mountain. I am lazy this Monday morning, sipping on hot cocoa and wondering what color to paint my nails next. Well, I'm off. Have a great Monday, lovers!

Zippora Seven, please.

This girl is as alluring as she is elusive. Deemed the Kate Moss of New Zealand, I find her fresh faced beauty something not to be ignored. She first caught my attention whilst in the pages of Australian magazine, Russh. Staggering between 5'3" and 5'4" she leans towards editorials because of the unfortunate catwalk height requirements. Nonetheless, her editorials are nothing of a disappointment, if anything they are the threshold of inspiration! She reminds me of a mix between a Topshop girl and an Urban Outfitters model.

Cause I'm high enough from all the waiting...

With two new pairs of boots on the way, by mail, I'm high enough from all the waiting... I know, I have a serious shoe problem. But hey, why not indulge every now and again? I'm excited to showcase them on the blog, both so very perfect for Fall. More boots, scarves, sweaters and denim to come as I make the transition from a sauna-like summer to a cool-enough-to-wear-heavy-knits winter.

For those of you who loved these american apparel shorts last time, you can see them again in black, here.

And while you're at it, don't forget to check this very glamorous, very luxurious video (about Westfield Shopping Centre, UK).
