Well isn't that first vest just darling?  I think these examples of sending a blatant message through what you wear are so much classier than my fashion pet peeve: the women's graphic tee  My grandmother wears a bracelet encrusted with diamonds that spell out "Bitch", not unlike that ring Bambi is showing off.  Loves it!

You're A Stone Fox

(via the trashed fashion and quality rivets)

This is undoubtedly the closest I will ever get to the foxtail trend as featured in the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 show, and I'm perfectly ok with that!  I like my animal tails firmly attached to a living, breathing animal, preferably Nina, my boyfriend's 6 month old Bernese Mountain Dog.

But I'm Going To The Disco So I Wear Chanel

(F/W 2009, 1991, 1972, and Spring 2009)

A few of my favorite Chanel ads from seasons past.  One of my best friends is going to be traveling to Paris in a few weeks and is set to return with her very own Chanel 2.55....I am soooooo jealous!  When I am rich one day from my successful career as a...nonprofit worker, I will absolutely have one, two, or ten of my own!

Rainy Day Women

(shirt: boyfriend's, cardi and necklace: F21, tights: Urban Outfitters, boots: Alloy)

These pictures are a few months old, from an outfit shoot I did on one of our chillier early spring days in 

Bloomington.  I am having a hard time leaving these boots in the closet for the summer, as they are pretty much my absolute favorite!  When I am feeling lazy about my outfits I tend to turn to my menswear staples, like this oversized shirt, as such items can be both chic and utterly effortless.

Shaken, Not Stirred

(via bond-girls.net, Starlet Showcase)

Sorry for the cliche title, but I have a thing for martinis, so it seemed apropos.  I love 007 films, and of course that means that not only do I have a favorite Bond, (Connery, duh), but I have a couple of favorite Bond Girls.  First on the list is the lovely Claudine Auger, who played Domino in Thunderball.  She was the epitome of 60's sex-bomb in that film, and how great is that lace body suit à la current American Apparel?  In a close second is Jane Seymour, who played Solitaire in Live and Let Die.  She is such a natural beauty in this film, so much so that it almost helps me forget those dresses she wore in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.

It's Witchcraft!

Wildfox Couture Fall 2010: It's Witchcraft from WILDFOX PR on Vimeo.

OMG how AMAZING is this video from Wildfox featuring their Fall 2010 collection?  The line has this awesome, witchcraft theme that is reminiscent of two of my favorite films EVER, Practical Magic and of course, The Craft.  I cannot wait to get my hands on some of these pieces! 

MANIAMANIA

How beautiful are these pieces from MANIAMANIA?!  The line of gorgeous jewelry is the brain child of Tamila Purvis and Melanie Kamsler, both who once worked for the beloved Russh Magazine.  I love the raw and earthy feel of the collection, which includes brass pieces that look like drift wood, as well as pieces accented with rough quartz!  Check out their site here.
