Yesterday, I went to a late-night showing of 'Arsenic and Old Lace', an old movie from the 40's, starring Cary Grant. It's more of a Halloween movie, but the spookiness and the comedy were great. Even though it started raining really hard at midnight when we got out, it was still a great night and can't wait to go back and watch some old black and white movies.
Then today I went to an Art Gallery that was showing 30 never-before-seen Audrey Hepburn pictures. They were so stunning, I was holding back tears toward the end. Near the exit, they had an enormous book holding 1000 behind-the-scenes pictures of Audrey, with quotes from her friends and family. Audrey Hepburn is my N°1 idol, and it meant a lot for me to be able to see the pictures of her.
See you soon, and thank you to everyone who follows me, you are greatly appreciated!

Inspiration.

Now that the weather is seriously lacking in sunshine (it rained all week, and I was finally able to wear a pair of shorts again -an army-green jacket and cargo shorts, rocking the army look!!), I have to start dressing fall-appropriately. Here's some of my inspiration for the month, love how that model is rocking her fur hat, I really like dressing comfortably in the Fall, mixing sweat-pants and more fitted pieces. I also totally need a jacket like the one above!!! And I think this isn't so MY-age appropriate (15), but OKB (over-the-knee-boots) are undoubtably on my lust-list. The pic of Olivia Palermo isn't really fall-ish, but I just love that outfit, so I thought you wouldn't mind!!
See you soon!!!

I have a Chanel Bag!

OMG!

Yesterday I was in a second-hand shop and I was browsing aimlessly through some of the things, when I found, buried under all the other bags, a vintage Chanel classic flap!! I rushed to the register and procceded to buy it for 20 euros! Because it's vintage, a little dirty, and doesn't have the chanel sign on it (in plain sight), the lady thought it was just a knock-off or an imitation chanel bag.
WOW!! It looks a little like the picture (but it's not leather, its canvas, and instead of a chanel sign, it just has a clasp)
See you soon everyone!!

Dior Haute Couture Fall 2010

Of all the Haute Couture shows this season, one of my favorites was definitely Dior. Usually I'm not a fan of Galliano's work, but Dior has such timeless pieces it's impossible NOT to fall in love with its romance. But for this show, I thought Galliano's spunk and creativity and Dior's classic essence (I hate that word, but I think it fits here) came together perfecty to create upturned bouquets of colourful,stunning works of art. Everything, from the hair wrapped in cellophane, to the subtle, elegant heels was perfect. Although for Haute Couture Fall 2010, flowers is a bit strange -- n'est-ce pas?
See you soon; xxx

O.M.G.

Check out this teaser trailer for GG Season 4! There are absolutely no words for what I am feeling right now. I mean, WOW. For me, GG is all about Blair -and Chuck- of course, but ... WOW. So excited for September, I just can't wait!

Almost the end.

Here are some pics of more stuff I bought in Paris (Zara wedges and shirt). I love this shirt because, even though it's short (don't worry, I'm not planning on wearing it like this, with nothing else on!), it reminds me of those gorgeous young french woman who lean out of the window of their apartment in their boyfriend's shirt to smoke a cigarette or sip a cup of coffee, looking over the world as if they owned it, which of course they do. And yes, I want to be one of those women one day -plus I already have the shirt!! :D
See you soon!

Back Again!

Last outfit post until I can take more pics (trust me! Back-to-school is going to be gorgeous!! I bought alot of 'timeless' pieces, as well as seasonal ones! That was why I was so excited when I found this Zara swallow dress (which was a MUCH cheaper way to do Miu Miu's S/S 2010 swallow print). I found this dress during a sale -30 euros reduced to 15!- I was so excited to get it and I've been wearing it alot this summer. I'm excited to try a more Fall appropriate way of wearing this dress (maybe layer a blouse under it!) but that will only work for the first 2 weeks of September, then out come the sweaters and Fall fabrics!
PS: This summer I started sewing and made a really cute navy polka dot skirt -very 50's!
See you soon, (for real this time!)
