Kevork & Fanny
I bought the latest issue of ELLE because of this picture. There's something very striking about this couple.

Kate!
Cozy. We love her. I was actually watching episodes of "The City' last night and caught a glimpse of her at an ELLE party. She seems lovely.
New Muse Alert!
Nelly Furtado. I screen capped her video with Timberland (Morning After Dark) because I just had to post this. I am so amazed by the transformation she has made - I would love to have the opportunity to style her one day. She really is an extraordinary "creature".
Bad Ass! Iselin Steiro For French Vogue
She's one of my favorite models for a reason. She's so intense! So is Emmanuel Alt, the creative force behind the editorial. Long live Art!

OMG, I LOVE THIS!
Translation (please note: my French leaves much to be desired,so don't quote my on this, ok?): "Time is an invention of those incapable of love". I think that is one of the loveliest things I've read in a while.
A Parisian Institution
I remember the first time I saw this building. I was about 18 years old, and I had just decided that I was inlove with Paris. I was in a bookstore, and for whatever reason I had wondered into the travel section. Before I knew it, I'd spent hours looking through every Parisian travel guide on the shelf. That night it became the most important thing to me, ever. I cannot lose sight of that dream.
I hope you are all having an amazing day. And for those of us whose day has been less than amazing, just remember what it is you are fighting for.

For My One, My Only. For My Alex.
As you all may know by now, Alexander McQueen is no longer with us. I cannot even begin to wrap my head, much less my heart, around this. It breaks my heart to know that he never fully understand the depth of the contribution he made to this world, both to Fashion, and to the world in general. It is impossible to even attempt to foresee the landscape of fashion, now that he is gone. It will never look the same again. I am essentially heartbroken.
From my Facebook:
One of McQueens greatest shows: This is the finale from his F/W 06.07 Collection, and was just after the huge Kate Moss scandel involving herself and cocaine. While other Designer greats such as Chanel abondoned her, Alexander McQueen stuck by her, and this was his silent manifesto on loyalty and frendship. With thi...s hologram, in and of itself a testiment to the depth of his creative genius, he said something that is so simple, yet so completely overlooked by most: When you love someone, you just do. If you are a friend to someone, you just are. It isn't an optional thing. You stick by them because you have to - because it is important to the person that you are - it's important to the wellbeing of your heart. If you are only around when it's convienient, then it isn't friendship, and it isn't love. Yet that was Alex. He felt things entirely too deeply, but it served as a beauty mark on his soul that he wasn't ashamed of. Instead he chose to channel it wholeheartedly into his work, and through the years, with each breathtaking collection, he captured more and more of my own, and in so many ways felt like some kind of distant friend, so this loss has definitely touched me. Art will do that to you - especially when it is expressed to the magnitude and emotional extent that his was. He was truly the greatest designer of our generation, and this is a void that will remain vacant for years to come, because there is no one even close to the person that he was, the sentiments he held, and the art he created. Lee "Alex" McQueen, you have inspired me beyond words. I will always attempt to look closer, to dig deeper, to feel more passionately and to offer stronger expressions of the world as filtered through my eyes. Je m'ennuie déjà vous comme l'enfer. J'taime et J'adore.
