marchesa...je meurs

i've always loved marchesa { even in the last few years when i would give a slight eyebrow raise to the things they sent down the runway. } this year's collection blew me away. the soft colors, the intricate mixture of all things glitter, fringe and tulle. it all looked very very expensive, hard to construct but easy to watch glide down the runway. to me this is what fashion is about: when you dont look at the models { bc honestly with this lot, you might wake up having some nightmares }, when the pieces have integrity, meaning and stand out; reiterating the purpose and agenda of the brand while managing to be fresh and new in an ever-changing landscape.
bravo marchesa.

the only words for this collection are GIMME GIMME GIMME!

rainy day illustration

it's been raining for the past 4 days here with no sign of stopping anytime soon. but the good thing about rainy days is that they always give me more time to paint, draw and sketch. the expression on her face pretty much sums up my mood at the moment....hope you guys like it! and let me know if you want to see more of my art on the blog

hurricane mimi

jacket- acne, oversized shirt- h&m, clutch- zara, boots -got them in amsterdam, watch- michael kors, necklace- vintage
after being trapped in the house like noah's ark, we were excited to take a walk around the supposed "wreckage" of hurricane irene. literally just rolled out of bed. my favorite thing about this is my tiny tiny eiffel tower locket which just helps me keep a little piece of paris with me at all times.

something to talk about...

pretty please don't kill me.....i've been an AWFUL blogger. almost a month since i got on here {ducks from stones} there has been a lot happening on my end and im looking forward to getting back in the swing of things {slash} catching up on what everyone has been up to this month. the boy and i went on a whimsical trip to costa rica { most beautiful beaches, animals and forests in the world if you like hiking for 9 hours and that kind of stuff }. we stayed at the most amazing ego lodge called lapa rios which is literally how i imagine to heaven to look.

did i mention we got engaged?!

{hence me falling of the planet for the last month} it was the most magical moment and he presented me with the most beautiful ring i've ever seen...tres mimi. im super excited and im sure ill talk about it at length at some point when i get stressed about finding charming place to get married in france.

for now i have a lot of new things to show you. raise your hand if you're excited for fall!
