Are you hanging sideways?!

The side braid has been my go-to hairdo for all those days when the locks just don't hang right.... Are you sporting the side pony or braid? Since Alexander Wang's ladies strutted down the runway with this side twister everyone seems to be on the band wagon.

Walking away!

I am in the mood for some new brogues!!! Even though it's still too cold to wander the streets in your low tops, I have got the itch for a sweet pair of oxfords.... the ones I want most are these floral cutie pies!

Four eyes have never been so cool!

Even though it's a freezing 21 degrees and a wind chill of 3 degrees, I just can't seem to get these sunglasses off my mind..... Spring 2010 is packing the heat with these amazing Sunny's!!! I think my number one choice would be the neon pink or neon green Prada's, but don't get me wrong, there really aren't any I would deny.

Good times.

Just a regular Thursday night for the hubby and I.
Do you dig it?!?!?

The item I most desire for this coming Spring is a trench coat. Of course I would love for it to be a Burberry, but since I can't really afford it I will have to find myself a substitute. For all of you readers out there who have got the cash then you should be super excited about the Christopher Bailey exclusive trench for Colette. This fantastic jacket is available February 22-27, 2010 @ Colette. As for me, I will keep adoring everything Burberry and start shopping somewhere a bit more economical viable.

Something my little pockets can afford.

Slippery and slimey-your new best friend.

What has no eyelids and no external ears? Hmmmm... haven't figured it out yet. Let me give you some more clues. This accessory, well not usually considered an accessory, has graced the inside of French Vogue for the February issue.... Still don't know. These ectothermic amniote vertebrates are covered in overlapping scales. Yeah, that's right, Snakes!!!!
Ever since Alexander McQueen's Spring show made its debut, snakes have been invading the brain.
These pictures of Anja Rubik for Vogue have got me inspired.... now it's your turn.

I love this illustration by Belle Kröl, check more of her work out here: Iknowwhatyouworelastseason.

More snakes to inspire!

I'm obsessed with jewelry and I swear I can't get enough rings onto one hand! Here are some other girls who know how to stack it on!

It's not just for kids anymore!

This post is dedicated to my dear and lovely friends over at Thea Grant Jewelry. German Vogue's December spread featuring Iman that's Mickey mouse inspired has put a smile on my face and I just needed to share it with you. You have probably already seen it, but you might not have known that the best part of the whole editorial is the Red Bauble Necklace Iman is wearing in the first photo. It's a Thea Grant necklace and as most of you know this designing family are my besties!!! Cheers to you Thea, Nico and Grey! This one is a real winner.

I couldn't leave you without some other great Mickey and Minnie inspiration!
