A dream come true!... oh wait...no...not so much.

Ok so if you are anything like my you were in love with the magazine Domino, it was amazing! It had all kinds of design inspiration, relatable ideas, fashion, beauty, tutorials and so much more. If you were like me you were also devastated to hear that the magazine was closing down in 2009 and wishing for a relaunch ever since. For years I thought I was the only one who felt this way until I came across an article in yesterday's Washington Post. What caught my immediate attention was a picture of a Domino cover, and the words "resurrection" in the title. Could it be true? Domino is coming back?

My excitement was quickly extinguished when I read on to find that the new cover I was looking at is only a special edition filled with old content from previous magazines, repacked like a greatest hits album. My disappointment grew when I read the interview from a Conde Nast rep who very clearly stated "we know the interest is there, that was never a question" and "there is no plan to relaunch Domino". So those of you who were excited like me, contain yourself because according to many blogs there is a lot of negative feelings about this release. However, there is always a silver lining...if you didn't get the opportunity to get all the magazines this is a great opportunity to get some of the great stuff you might have missed. 

Also if you were unaware, Domino released a Decorating book that rocks. (seen above) It is defiantly a must get! Plus there should be another "Special Edition" released in the late summer of 2012. For more details and the actual article I read, visit Washington Post.

Welcome to my fancy place...



This is my new room, I refer to it as the fancy room, I like how it turned out, I thought I would share. Yes it is a black wall, and there is Anubis's head in the mirror. He wanted his camera time.


A little advice from Coco...



Whats your set?

So I have to share... New to MAC Cosmetics is "Fashion Sets" a series of colors inspired by such regions as Dubai, New York, Sao Paulo, and Tokyo.  Must have lip shades coveted by MAC fans around the world, I know I am one myself. I love all the colors, each is a staple for so many different looks. Go to the MAC Website for more details.


Blooms in Soho

Blooms in Soho

So I am in love with floral prints and glad to see they are all the rave these days, not to mention the excitement that neons bring me. So I decided to throw in some denim, and pull some inspiration from the fashionistas you see walking through the streets of Soho, never afraid to push the limits in the name of fashion and being different. So heres to you ladies, the risk takers, those not afraid, and those who walk their own path.

Today in my Shazam

Enjoy! This head I hold- Electric Guest

In love with coral + neon

In love with coral + neon

My inspiration for this set was the recent trend of pairing neons with lighter more romantic colors. Its like romantic wild side and of course I love it! So with that idea in mind I paired it with some gorgeous snake accessories, and tried to keep the focus on the coral and the neon yellow. The white Moschino blazer adds a bit of formality to an otherwise playful day outfit. Great uplifting and inspiring outfit for whatever you have planned for the day.

New York Doll

New York Doll

This set is inspired by NYC Street Style. Lately I am feeling a little homesick and missing the city, this is always my favorite time of year. The sounds, the smells, the views, and my favorite... the style. You can not help but walk the streets of Soho and be inspired.  So today's set is a little homage to my beloved, New York.

Simone

Simone

This set was inspired by a lady that I saw on the street, and inspired me, I never talked to her and I don't know her name but I imagined it to be Simone. The outfit's color scheme was simple, the pieces were classic paired with a little edge and yet the outfit was so lady like and so confident. I had to recreate it with a few of my personal touches.

Something to inspire us all... A little wisdom from Coco


I don’t understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little 
- if only out of politeness. 
And then, you never know, 
maybe that’s the day she has a date with destiny. 
And it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
-Coco Chanel

Today on my playlist...


I am already a big fan of Brandi Carlile, but today I came across this song and I love it! I can not get it out of my head. So enjoy!

Friday, April 13, 2012

Clearly inspired by the strange roller coaster we have come to know as weather here in DC. With the inspiration that comes from great spring days I wanted to do something that would be light, bright, fun, and casual. An outfit great for getting out and enjoying this beautiful day in style.

Clever thoughts..

Style” is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.

On The Hunt: Its scarf weather

On The Hunt: Its scarf weather


In DC the strange weather we have been having has led us to a chilly and strange turn for this spring season. With this in mind its time to go shopping for scarves. Here is a few of my favs for the season. Check out my Polyvore to learn more about these scarves. In my opinion the key to a successful scarf is that it contrasts the rest of the wardrobe, wether in color or design it should add a little rebellion to the rest of your attire. Especially since it can be easily removed and completely change your look.
