ocean breathes salty

With summer at our toes, it's time to prepare for sizzling fashion looks! Living in sunny Orange County, the likes of many turn to Hurley, Roxy, and Rainbows. Nothing wrong with the surfer girl look when you are 10 years old. Listen ladies, dressing up is never difficult. Be kind to yourself and present yourself with grace instead of 5 inch foam sandals. Here are some of my favorite looks that have been coming up in RESORT 2011 season.

the city of lights never fail to disappoint during fashion week. all the heavyweights were on point. the elegance of Fall RTW 2010 was undeniable. the collections from chloe and louis vuitton brought a senes of 1950's chic. when world travel was still a distant dream and pearls were the staple in accessories. these collections offset the current fashion trend which is what i like to call the black hole. black leggies, black booties, black blazers and so on. i know that black is a go to in any decade or fashion season but lets be honestly, a little change can never hurt. i always tell my friends that i should have been born in the 50s due to my secret love of being a housewife. the collections previewed in Paris gave me a taste of old fashion glamor. its like a girl from kansas moving to the big city and changing into a complete cosmopolitan minx. the matted grey and tan colors compliment the subtle sexiness of the clothing. hey a knee length skirt can be sexy! the simplicity and sophistication just ooze of the clothing. i especially love the return of the mid-length leather gloves and luggage style bags. after looking at the collection, im ready to go raid some grandmother's closet looking for those fine wools cardigans and knee length skirts. but better question, where are my damn pearls?

in the land

Sadly, many have never heard of Ermanno Scervino. His collections produces amazing pieces, which are bold and sexy. All the clothing above is from Spring 2010 RTW.

“The heartbeat. Have you ever lain with somebody when your hearts were beating in the same rhythm? That’s true love. A man and a woman who lie down with their hearts beating together are truly lucky. Then you’ve truly been in love, m’boy. Yeah, that’s true love. You might see that person once a month, once a year, maybe once a lifetime, but you have the guarantee your lives are going to be in rhythm. That’s all you need.”

- Bob Dylan
