Trends...

A trend still going strong and doesn't seem to be slowing down is the PEPLUM!  You can wear it a bunch of different ways.  Here are just some great style bloggers showing you their variety of ways!

If you do not have a peplum in your closet yet, you should!

Just Because...

One of my guilty pleasures is taking recent Vogue's or Harper Bazaar's to the cafe and just reading cover to cover.  On my latest cafe rendezvous I came across this fantastic ad from {DVF} and its copy read, "Be the woman you want to be..".  Amen.  Now those are some small but mighty words to live by not to mention great mid-week pick-me-up words.

Embrace everything you want to be, because we can be whomever we want to be.  * me

 

ps.. how amazing is that dress!

GRIPE...

These tops from {Forever21} make this weeks GRIPE.  First, I love that they payed homage to {HarpersBazaar} since I love the magazine, but really?  Out of the three, the best by a little is the middle one with the Aphrodite statue head in my opinion.  But the others, nope.  Now they might have potential with some great leather and layering pieces, but on their own with just jeans I think they come up short.

Happy first GRIPE of 2012 all!

Inspiration ...

The Fab-u-lous Smurfette did a spread for the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, promoting her new movie "The Smurfs" out this summer.

She wore the creme de la creme in accessories from Marc Jacobs, 

Louis Vuitton, D & G and Lanvin.

She rock's these looks!  Lucky lady!
