Style Inspiration: Salvador Dali
I first started to do my “art for fashion” inspiration series with Gustav Klimt’s Water Serpents in a previous post. I had so much fun putting together colors for outfits that best visualized the feel and character of the painting.
Salvador Dali was a Surrealist Spanish painter in the 1900s. Dali believed in having symbols in all of his works, as well as a love for luxury and bold statements...

Pink and Green
I have not done an outfit post in a looooong time so why not show you an outfit I wore to a wedding this past weekend! As an avid vintage lover, I adore any dress that shows off a 1950s/60s style. I paired the coral eyelet halter dress with a mint green belt from H & M and white platform sandals ($15 from TJ MAXX!)
After this outfit, now I want to constantly wear pink and green together!...

Old People can have style too!
Ahh the power of blogs. One blog in particular that I have been following (while I was on a hiatus) is Advanced Style, a blog dedicated to the “stylish and and creative older folks”.
I have never seen more creative, eclectic and SUPERB fashion anywhere else. The elderly are not afraid to color block, accessorize and look fabulous. Personal style really does advance with age.
Here are a few of...

Making Waves in Hollywood: Colored Denim
There are a number of ways to insert a pop of color to your daily wardrobe. None, however, is as effective or all-encompassing as this season’s latest emerging trend- brightly-colored denim.
Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere, Rachel Bilson, Nicky Hilton, Cameron Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker, to name only a few, have jumped on the bold-colors bandwagon. Some of them are...

Style Inspiration: Gustav Klimt
There is no doubt you can withdraw inspiration from looks on the street, or the runway. There is something to be said about trying in fashion and major works of art, and Gustav Klimt’s paintings are ones that can be recreated into a wardrobe. If you have not heard of this great painter, Gustav Klimt was an Austrian artist and a respected member of the Vienna Secession movement. His...

The Lace, the Garter and the Dress
Follow my blog with bloglovin
Whether you are getting married soon or you will just be a guest, it is always fun to look at wedding dresses. I have never been the one to get into specific styles of wedding dresses (I am more of the just-give-me-something-white-and-simple-to-wear type of girl) but you can never underestimate the beauty of detail, creativity and quality in a wedding dress.

Style Inspiration: Girls on TV
Not only can you get inspiration for your wardrobe from street fashion and the runway, but also from some fashionable TV shows! Blair Waldorf (from Gossip Girl) is one of the popular style inspirations but my favorites are in the shows Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Mad Men and Glee. Everyone needs a little bit of a glam party girl, a curvy temptress and a preppy sweetheart in them!

My favorite part of her outfit: the thigh high boots.. pumps would just make the whole outfit look boring and redundant.

perfect way to dress for a baby bump, plus the red and pink looked phenomenal on her.

Out of the blue
Unlike other fashion savvy bloggers and readers I’m not a good shopper (I admit I actually really dislike it) I’m also not that great with finding sales or even getting excited about them! I will walk by something that intrigues me and I will still wait several days or even weeks to purchase it! So when I saw this blue coat by Theme Clothing, I fell in love..2 weeks later I was still...

Sara Marhamo Designs
One thing I love about Boston is the emerging talent in art and fashion, especially with young designers. Fashion Designer Sara Marhamo caught my eye with her use of funky prints that surprisingly go well together, as well as the rich colors and unexpected material that is carefully tailored and just pretty much aesthetically pleasing. Her collections have been shown in numerous fashion shows...

You dress sophisticated women. I dress sluts.
…The great words by the amazing Gianni Versace who will forever rest in peace and be remembered for not only his designs, but also for his fabulous life. I had the opportunity to finally see his villa (and the same place where he was shot) when I went down to Miami.
Like many other of my favorite designers (Galliano, Gaultier..etc) I will always love Versace for the ability to use...

Fall Trend: 70s Inspired Looks
Like every season, a decade comes back that will inspire designers to venture out and find new ways of exploring the “blast from the past”. We have seen the eclectic 80s and the funky 60s. Louis Vuitton explored the 50s and Karl Lagerfeld always seems to channel the 20s (for obvious reasons). This Fall the 70s seem to be the hit on the runway, and we are seeing it on the streets...
