Inspired by Model Karlie Kloss in British Vogue, love love this pose and pout. Changed it up just a tad and was inspired to dress her in an adorable dress from Louis Vuitton's Resort collection seen here #12

Missed todays outfit post, as a movie and good food won. Instead some Rag and Bone and always had a thing for a tee under a dress. Reminds me of the (90s) been there and would gladly go at it again.

Hope you all had a great weekend, (Mad Men) happily returns and still summer days to cherish. ---( I swear I act as though Fall, Winter and Spring are torture for me..why is that ? :\

I will see you tomorrow for Music Monday and will also have more work to post this week.

Into Thin Air

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, I had a great extra long weekend, taking time off was exactly what I needed. I went high up into the rocky mountains and enjoyed just playing my days by ear, complete relaxation..

.....This has nothing to do with the weekend, but thought I would share this adorable outfit that Zina is wearing over from her blog, Fashionvibe. I love how she tucked in a Zara dress and made it into a shirt, she just inspired many new outfits from my closet.


Cannot wait to catch up with all of you this week. xo

Summer Treats

I hope you are all having a great week, I am going to be taking a mini summer break for a few days to catch up on some other projects and to enjoy more time outdoors. Short and sweet. So I thought I would leave some summertime inspirational photos from around the web in the meantime. Will be back to posting again this weekend.

Happy summer days and nights! xo

Planting flowers

Why I love summer, endlessly putting on lightweight dresses and with those dark sky's it brought the ultimate perfect temperature, I could have taken a nap on that hill. (Actually, I suck at taking naps, I always end up crashing far longer then a nap is required) Maybe reading a book on that hill sounds better. ;)

Hope you had a great weekend everyone.

Hope you all enjoyed the 4th of July in the States. It rained quite a bit here in Denver so missed out on some of the fireworks, but a great excuse to extend the festivities tonight with the delay and view some this evening.

Above I attached a sampling of Balenciaga's Resort 11 and must say, amazing use of patterns and color. I am definitely going to use as inspiration. Lets just skip winter and dive back into spring when summer ends. ;)

Happy 4th!!

Have a fun, safe 4th of July weekend in the States everyone. And happiest of weekends to all of you! xo
