GET COZY at F21, GET WARM at H&M, and STAY WARM at 80's

You may not be aware of this, but all your favorite fashion companies take a lot of time, and put in a lot of effort to try to come up with the best eye-catching, money-grabbing, make-you-wanna-buy ad campaigns every season (and sometimes even in between seasons). Trust me, I've been there. Trying to come up with clever, borderline cheesy slogans isn't as easy as you think. 

So as I was online window shopping the past couple days, I noticed a little blip with a few of the more major companies and their F/W campaigns. Maybe great minds think alike. Maybe they just ran out of ideas. Maybe they decided to join forces to get the universal message out: GO SHOPPING.

You be the judge.




GET WARM @ H&M






have a happy weekend! 

p.s. this is probably the BEST time to go xmas shopping before the holiday madness at the mall -- so listen to f21, hm, and 80s...go shopping!

Anna Paquin For Marie Claire UK March '10








I know this photoshoot is old, but it's so damn beautiful I had to post it on my blog.
I've never seen Anna look this good. The stylist did one hell of an amazing job.

i remember a few years back my little sis raving about some new tv show that she was addicted to -- gossip girl. i saw a glimpse of it while surfing the tube but rolled my eyes to the idea of young girls and their immature repertoires and vowed never to get sucked in. present day, (well a couple of weeks back) and i am seriously sucked in and stuck! it was accidently added to my netflix queue! i've only seen most of season one and although some parts make me turn away, frown and grunt at the catty things they do...but i gotta admit, i've happily jumped onto the S+B bandwagon.


ironically, after watching the first couple of episodes, i saw an amazing picture of Blake Lively (Serena) in a stunning Antonio Berardi peek-a-boo zipper dress paired with Elizabeth and James heels. perfect!


i think i have a crush.

Style Crush: Margherita Missoni

Margherita has everything, celebrity status, a famous family, beauty, and an impeccable style. No other celebrity ambassador could do her family's brand justice the way she does.
There's a lot more I could say regarding her, but it would be unnessecary, as she speaks so well for herself.





Gorgeous.
