Since today is Halloween, I'll keep this post short & sweet. Here are some adorable pictures of dogs and cats dressed up in costumes. Try hard not to squeal!! Have a fun and safe Halloweekend, everyone! <...

Since it is Halloween week, I thought I would do a spooooooky #WCW this week! Let's take a look at our favorite dark child, Lydia Deetz. In Beetlejuice, Winona Ryder plays Lydia Deetz, a dark, brooding teen that's very into death and dying. Her morbid attitude combined with her neutral wardrobe basically makes for Halloween perfection. I channel Lydia Deetz throughout the entire year (who can resist...

Happy Monday, kittens! Things have been extremely busy for me lately - I just haven't had time for blogging. Sorry for the lack of posts! One of my favorite colors that I've been seeing for the fall is oxblood. It was fairly popular last year as well. Deep burgundy is just such a flattering color on almost anyone and in any part of your outfit. I love wearing it as a lipstick, but it could easily...

Today's fashion inspiration comes from a beautiful hip hop star that was tragically taken too soon. Aaliyah was not only an amazing singer and actress, but a real trend-setter. Her clothing and hair was always striking and forward-thinking. Let's take a look at her style choices and try to channel some inspiration! Aaliyah was all about two great trends: crop tops and baggy boyfriend jeans. It...

Happy Monday, kittens! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. My life is pretty hectic right now - I just got a new job, so I'm trying my best to adjust and keep things as normal as possible. Posts may be a little shorter, but hopefully the content is still great! I really enjoy making lists, particularly musical ones! I am a DJ at my college radio station, so music is something that is extremely...

Happy Sunday, kittens! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I apologize for there being no post yesterday - things get so busy around here! Since it's the weekend though, the posts are short and sweet either way. Long sweaters are a big trend that I've been seeing (and wearing) for fall. I absolutely love how cozy and snuggly they are - it's like wearing a blanket that is socially acceptable. I thought...

Happy Friday, everyone! I've had a few favorite brands since I was younger, and Chanel has always been one of them. There's just something about the pieces that they offer that makes the clothing both fresh and timeless. Karl Lagerfeld and his recent revival of the brand has really cemented Chanel's permanent place in fashion history. Coco Chanel started Chanel as a brand in 1909, and was extremely...

It's Thursday and that means it's time for our weekly dose of inspiration from ladies with major wisdom! This post concerns one of my personal idols, Audrey Hepburn. I've always adored her sweet, calm demeanor and her delicate beauty. What a LADY. Let's take a look at some of my favorite images of her and read some sage thoughts! “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”  “The...

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! I'm going to make this a personal post today. I've been having a lot of fun with fall time scents, nail polishes, and events. What have you been up to with this delightfully cool weather? Here are some pictures of what I've been looking at and buying: I got some beautiful fall flowers and mini pumpkins from Trader Joe's (as well as a lovely addition of some roses by my...

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. One of the most amazing inspirations for me is Grace Coddington and her work at Vogue. To think that she started off as a model and now has become timeless in her stylist and creative director work. She's the ultimate role model for working your way to the top of the ladder! Here are some of my favorite shoots of hers. She is so...

Happy Monday! I love art - in fact, I can't remember a time when I didn't! My parents enjoyed taking me to museums as a child. One of the first artists I grew to love was Andy Warhol. Pop Art is a fairly easy way to get into art, I think. Bright colors and iconic images are quite easy to remember! Not only was Warhol an amazing illustrator and screen-printer, he took some excellent photos. They are...

Happy Sunday, everyone! Again, today will be a short post but full of inspiration for us. A huge trend for the fall are lug soled shoes. I love how they look - the stacked heel, the outdoors-y feel. I love a good shoe with traction (especially in a practical sense!). Here's a set that I made to inspire us to find awesome lug soles in brown and black: These shoes are fabulous and really showcase...

Happy Saturday! Since it's the weekend, we'll keep this post short. Here are a few things that I've been watching/reading/listening to this week: Hurry, Everything/Nothing: http://hurry.bandcamp.com/ Local band, Hurry, rules. If you like fuzzy, lo-fi pop music, give this a listen! Short Story Thursdays, led by Jacob Tomsky http://www.facebook.com/pages/Short-Story-Thursday I seriously...

Happy Friday, lil cats! Thankfully the weekend is here. Do you guys have any cool plans? For today's Fan Friday, I wanted to discuss a brand that is very dear to my heart: Betsey Johnson. As a young girl just getting into fashion, Betsey's fun and whimsical creations really captured my attention. Her party dresses were beautiful, bright, and fluffy. Her clothing looks like a dream for a punk Barbie....

Happy Thursday, kittens! It's that time of the week where we look at a fabulous person and glean some inspiration and confidence from their words of wisdom. This week, I thought I'd highlight Joan Rivers, the hilarious comedienne who passed away a few weeks ago. To say she was one of my favorite ladies would be an understatement. Whenever I got the chance, I would watch Fashion Police and any red...

Happy Wednesday everybody! Since I am back to regular blogging now, it's time to revive our usual series where we look at an inspirational lady and take some fashion notes from her. Today, I'm talking about Solange! Solange is a seriously talented singer....oh, and I guess she has a pretty well-known family too. She is very bold and vibrant, in both her fashion and beauty looks. Her hair is usually...

Happy Tuesday, kittens! It's starting to get chilly around here - hard to believe that it's fall and the warm weather is going away for good :( As you know, I'm a bit of a nail polish addict. There's nothing that I love more for fall than... dark nail polish. SORRY ABOUT IT, PUMPKIN! I thought I'd post some nail/color inspiration for us on these chilly days when the leaves are falling. I don't exactly...
