Headed Down South


Cannot wait to fly down to a city I've never been. I'm looking forward to jazz, Creole and, historic houses, a cemetery tour (sounds strange I know - apparently it's a city known for having amazing g Cajun raves!), balconies over looking the city. And spending time with my family. See you in a week...

Guest Post: Hyper Colour Trend

I'm excited to share with you a post by a fashion-forward friend of mine and fellow blogger - Hillary Stewart from Moncton, New Brunswick Canada! 


Hillary is a true lover of life and always has a bright smile on her face - especially when she is talking fashion. She enjoys and practices photography and has an inner passion for animals and the environment. She is currently planning travels around the world - all within the next ten years she will have been to  Africa, BrazilAustralia, Italy, and France. As if she wasn't emersed in the lifestyle enough, she is in the process of heading to fashion school in California or New York. She says, "I dream to have my own store and carry my own designs in addition to vintage garments"


"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." 



 Thank you so much for sharing Spring/Summer 2011 fashion trends! Check out her blog at The Brunette Shake.

Seen all over the runways for this Spring…crazy, insane, and wild colours.  They definitely spice up your wardrobe after being stuck in what seemed like an endless winter full of drab black, gray, and neutral garments. Many fashion shows have shown the influx in brights. No more neutral outfits this Spring! Bring it on colour - take a look at the photos to see how you can pull of the 'look'...

Aquilano Rimondi


Burberry
Paired with leather, patched leggings these colours are amazing!


Christian Dior
I am loving the orange trend this season - look at those sandals!


Fendi
The purple is absolute genius. Quite a fan of the jumpsuit trend - and it is here to stay this season. Again, notice the orange shoes.


Haider Ackermann
I love the colours together. Reminding anyone of Pipa's Royal Wedding after-party? Emerald is hott!


Jill Sander


Tommy Hilfiger
Long, legged summer tans are complemented perfectly with bright, warm orange.


Camilla Belle in Gucci (a personal favorite of mine)
She pulled the entire trend together in an effortless and wearable way.

Finally it's Finals

Bitting my nails, lacking on sleep, eating way too many carbs - yes, this the end - of junior year. It will all be over in two days and I'll be on an early flight to LA (cannot come soon enough!). Trip itinerary posting soon!

In the mean time, I'm trying to keep it together ... any suggestions?

Coastal Jewels

Sometimes more is better. In this case, you can never have enough. Tanned skin and turquoise - the look of eternal summer.

Hair Cut?

A long bob, also known as the 'lob', may be in my future. Thoughts?
