zoe style

i love the zoe report - everything i love is as perfectly gaudy and gold and overstated as all of the fabulous pieces rachel zoe dies for. these louis vuitton sequined shimmer booties are seriously amazing, and i want to wear them everything. the heel looks so sturdy, too - i bet they'd be super comfortable.

thanks rz, for yet another one of your ridiculous finds that you can afford in droves, and i can only afford to look at.

elle brazil goes sequined

have i made it clear yet that i'm currently entranced by all things sequined? i just love it. they're so fun, so bright, so sassy. and in some regard, timeless. they always come back around. did i tell you guys about the sequined STEAL i found? i should shoot it and throw it up here - but i found a black, sequined catherine malandrino cocktail dress for $60 at a consignment store the other day that's to die for. it fits like a glove and is the perfect motivation to maintain the size i am, because i plan on popping that baby out at every possible occassion.

in the meantime, good job out of elle brazil for this fabulous, sequin-laden december 2009 shoot. do you love?

evoking the theatre

i love the theatricality of this editorial. it seems to tell the solitary story of an actress going from onstage to offstage to backstage to out the stage door. when i was acting, my least favorite part - once we got into running the show - was emerging from the dressing room and having to exit the theatre through a throng of residual audience members. unless my family, or a special friend, was in the audience, i much preferred to just sneak out.

that's the story i've made for this editorial.

more is more is more is more

i absolutely love the more is more concept for styling. throw it all on, and keep your look at bedazzled, gemmy, and jacked up as possible. i just recently purchased a black sequin blazer ($27 - thanks forever 21), and a gold & black fabulously draped super-high waist skirt from h&m and am thrilled with these new, exuberant additions to my wardrobe. both = perfect ways to jazz up basics like a hanes men's tee, or a jersey crew neck.

this editorial that i found on kaleidoscope eyes is like a more is more dream come true. jewels and sequins and baubles and so many layers. i love love love.

liu wen

i have a slight obsession with liu wen. i think she's an absolute sensation on the runway and i always love every look she wears. like the staminator, i think she's completely transcendent.

good job outta vogue china, which i never get to peruse. this shoot is beautiful...i love all the sequins and the sheerness. are you sensing a trend?
