This is a great way to wear the boyfriends jeans look this season.  I am a huge fan of them and have worn them for the last 4 years.  She looks very stylish. via www.styleclicker.net

OH YES.  Zappos are now shipping to Australia. Now if only we could get the Aussie dollar to claw its way back to something reasonable.  But, either way, I might just have to get these shoes.

I am totally inspired by this site.  What a wonderful tool for women of all ages.  For example they have a “what can you do: on campus” followed by a number of suggestions such as this one: Be proactive! Find a local T-shirt vendors who sells shirts made in the USA. Create T-shirts with messages on them that uplift body-esteem for yourself and all the people you meet. Some ideas for some sayings are: “My Sum Is Greater Than My Parts,” “I am Not my Hair,” “Real Women have Curves,” and of course “Love Your Body.” Or buy “This is what Barbie OUGHT to Look Like” from the NOW online store! Hand out flyers about the Love Your Body campaign to people who ask questions about the t-shirt message. I wish there was something around like this when I went to college.  Thanks to gauntlet for the heads-up.  Love your body day

One of my favourite sites is 1stdibs.com.  They have amazing, one of a kind furniture for sale as well as highlighting various designers, books to read and what’s hot.  I was quite taken with Kelly Wearstler.  She says:  ”If it’s everywhere and it’s tired, it’s not for me,” explains Wearstler of her fascination with combining the unusual with the everyday so that is delights the eye as easily as it shelters the soul”.  Check it out here.

Another great marriage of art and fashion are the limited edition Homage to the Square scarves from Hermes that depict six of artist Josef Albers paintings from 1964 and give new meaning to the phrase “wearable art.” The German born Albers, is most well known as a Bauhaus artist but he also designed furniture and typography, accepted architectural commissions, published poetry, articles and book on art, in addition to lecturing and teaching.

My beautiful Aurelio who saved me from many a fashion disaster including today.  Take a look at his Spring collection here. ____________________ Hailing from down under, Aurelio Costarella brought out a variety of starlets like Dawn Richard from Danity Kane to giggly coed girls excited to get their first peak of a rising designer. Costarella show began with an ethereal vibe as the electronica music thumped and the first gown floated down the runway. The opening look—a satin purple sweetheart gown belted with exposed seams—echoed the dreamy ambience and set the tone for the creations that followed. Costarella seemed to have gotten his inspiration from flowers and Latin culture as a black dahlia blouse with a thin cigarette pant proved to be reminiscent of a Spanish matador. A dove draped a-symmetrical colorful dress had a tango twist with a billowing skirt.

Dear Summer, you came a little bit too early this year.  Could you pull it back a little bit.  Maybe until February?  Thanks, C. xoxo

If you twitter a lot, take a look at this application.  It’s rocking.  TweetDeck is an Adobe Air desktop application that is currently in public beta. It aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking an abundance of information i.e twitter feeds, and breaking it down into more manageable bite sized pieces.

I so love her.  She is so cute, passionate.  I really thought this show would be lame, but it’s so not.
