I am absolutely drooling over these looks from Prada's Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear collection. I am especially digging the fabulous color blocking combinations and fierce lines... All in accordion pleats!? Gahhh!

Even more than the funky garments themselves, the specs are to. die.

Thank. You. Prada...

All That Glitters

Get out your glue guns, it's time to get glitzy... I absolutely lost it over these rhinestone dappled ensembles from Dolce & Gabbana's (of course) latest collection, which debuted September 25 in Milan... Forget needing a festive fete to don these get-ups... I could throw one of these bad boys on, on the daily! no?

Despite that we are on the cusp of fall, the fact that it continues to be one hundred degrees plus in Houston makes me want to automatically put my hair up the minute I walk outside (or inside for that matter).

Luckily enough for me, this up-do is both convenient and particularly saucy...

Current Foodie Fixation

If you are in the Houston area, you absolutely MUST try Les Givral's Vietnamese BBQ sandwich. It is absolutely TO DIE... and not to mention only a whopping $2.50 to boot...

Hermes + Vans = Genius

Check out these signature Vans custom made for Robert Verdi, modeled after his personal collection of Hermes scarves... I die...

Feelin' BLU

I am absolutely obsessed with Blumarine's Spring 2011 collection. I am totally lovin the electric blue and pink color combo.

Plus, how hot is this ad campaign? It has such a perfect 70s night club, Farrah fabulous feel to it.

More importantly, how do I get my hair to look like that!?... loves it...

Check out the whole collection at Blumarine

Saucy Fit

Coachella

In lieu of the latest news about the most excellent Coachella line-up, I have decided to make an inspiration board of potential get-ups for this hippie-happy event. With only 86 days to go, it is NEVER too early to start thinking about the most important part of the whole shin-dig: What you are going to wear?... okay maybe not the MOST important part buuut it's pretty up there (let's face it)...

2. TopShop: Black Leather Tassle Side Hotpants
3. TopShop:Large Flower Headband

6. Jeffrey Campbell: Kasa Woven Sandal
7. Emilio Pucci: Long Chrochet Dress

Timeless

I am absolutely OBSESSED with these vintage Vogue covers, all published in a Paris Vogue book via style rookie's flickr.

I think one of these would look super fab blown up on my wall, or perhaps a few hung in a sassy arrangement. Dontcha think?

It is incredibly impressive to me how Vogue has so seamlessly withstood the hands of time.

un. real.

Aqua

How stunning are these rings!? The natural shapes paired with the gold accents = genius. Plus, I have always been a big fan of the aqua and dark brown color combo » fab!

You can pick one up for yourself at LUISAVAROMA

C'est Fini

After what? four months? I have FINALLY finished my shabby chic inspired room. There's something about a WHITE room that is so ridiculously soothing. Dontcha think? Getting rid of all of my crap is pretty relieving too ♡
