creepy crawly

every year around this time Holiday brings in some spooky accessories.  how great are these glam spiders?!

loving these bracelets

and this necklace!

wow!

i love this cover- she looks amazing!

i wish

i had been sitting in the front row next to Uma Thurman at Chanel's Spring 2012 fashion show in Paris.  sadly, i was not there and sadly i won't be purchasing any of the gorgeous creations that were sent down that dreamy runway.  BUT, i can glean some inspiration from this sea of frothing, soft pastel palette.

i love this cream flutter neck wonder!

how cool that Florence Welch performed, too!

chignon, please

i really dislike blow drying my hair in the morning. (this is an adult departure because in highschool i spent a good hour with the curling iron and 3 way mirror completely obsessed with having perfect hair, make-up, etc.).  today the only time my hair even looks remotely good is when i have a professional do it.  and that's hardly ever.  i am usually sporting some kind of side-ish ponytail with a mild "bump it" or a messy braid or two.  a look i love and need to practice is the o-so-chic chignon.

a little tutorial (like this will help me).  what is that little tool?

some pretty perfect ones...

this next one is a little too bridal for me- but still pretty

note to self:  stick Chanel pin in a very low, side chignon.  such a great look.  wait- i don't have a Chanel pin.  kitty? can you help?

and all of these are just fab

All the Rooftops in Paris

i LOVE when something just catches my eye! i was recently lured by the whimsical illustrations of Australian artist James Gulliver Hancock (digging that name Gulliver).  i want a GIANT one of these in my house!

the buildings he's lived in.  that's so sweet.
