You know who gets it right every single time?

And then there's these two...

I love Kanye West. He is my favorite artist. I love him. He can do no wrong in my eyes. He's truely amazing to me. And then he starts hanging out with this girl... I'm not against her in any way...I actually like the look that she's going for; but I don't know. This just feels a little temporary. I wish them the best, though. He really deserves to be happy.

Une Fille Chez Chloe

Elle est tres chic, non?
The French definately have it when it comes to fashion. They have this edgy quality to them, which I love. It's like Gothic Romanticism. It's effortless, classic and moves forward all within the same moment.

Kate Moss chez Chanel

The silk panths she's wearing totally remind me of the Louis Vuitton trousers from the spring/summer 2004 collection. Louis Vuitton is like, the house to beat. It seems like Marc Jacobs can't be stopped. I enjoy Kate's style, but there aren't many looks by her that I would actually want to, well, copy. But this is definately one that I feel like I need. I've wanted trousers like those for the past 5 years now...

Evan Rachel Wood

I'm really loving Evan Rachel Wood's tattoo. It says: All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. I love it.

Mariah Carey - Say Something

So this is my other favorite music video of all time. It's shot in Paris, which is my favorite city in the world. I really need to try to get there this summer. I've wanted to go for so long! This video seems like Paris at it's best.

Auf Wiedersehen

Ski Season...

I can't wait to get up to Whisler and ski. I'm hoping to get out there before the end of ski season, which is April 26, but who knows. Blackcomb stays open until well into June, so I just go there. I wish I could go this weekend, but I have to save up tuition for the next two quarters, which, unfortunately, is going to empty my pockets for awhile. But I will get up there some time this season!

A Reason to Stay

If there is anything that I am going to miss about living in the Seattle area, it's going to be the Starbucks on almost every corner. It's the only thing that relaxes me. Rainy weather, a good cup of coffee and my laptop. My new thing is to get a Starbucks mug from every city I visit. San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, Whistler. I'm going to have a major collection. I wonder what the coffee houses in NYC are like...I need to find out asap.

Gucci F/W Runway Show

Tom Ford for Gucci: F/W 2003

This is my all time favorite collection. This collection is the very reason I fell in love with fashion. Tom Ford, who was creative director at the time of both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, is still to this day my favorite designer. After his departure in 2004, which was heartbreaking for pretty much everyone in fashion at the time, fashion has fallen into something of a slump. Shapeless silouettes, uninspired design asthetics and sloppy advertising I feel is directly tied to that fact the there is no clear leader is fashion anymore. Tom Ford created and inspired trends. Everyone was trying to catch up to what he was going. Notice the white rose petals on the floor of the runway. And then for the shows finale, the rose petals began falling from the ceiling. I've never seen a collection with more romanticism or passion. This is what runway shows should look like. I remember just being in complete awe...it was like I was set on fire. I was transfixed. To this day, I have yet to see anything that even comes close to what this collection represented at the time.

Gwen Stefani - Early Winter

This is one of my favorite music videos of alltime. If I were to direct a video, this is what it would look like. It's intensely beautiful, intensely passionate. I am absolutely in love with Gwen Stefani. She's pristine.

For a walk in Paris...

This set is partially inspired by Gwen Stafani's video: Early Winter. Again, I need each and every piece. The silk trench is by Celine (label lust)and the bag is by Kooba. I'm totally loving the latex leggings. I need to get some - from Kova & T. I also love the Cartier watch. I love Cartier - it's just so timeless and romantic. I'm feeling all the jewelry - I chose some really beautiful pieces, I think. Yeah, this one is a must have as well.
