Steven Meisel never fails me...


What a cool breeze, literally. This shot for Alberta Ferretti by none other than the amazing Steven Meisel aka the Super Model Maker. The breezy campaign feathers Madisyn Ritland, Viktoriya Sosonkina, Dorothea Barth Jorgensen and Numue Smit lounging in a library as the books blow by. The models look gorgeous and classically elegant in Ferretti's chich creations and the added wind makes this image that much more dynamic!

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Metal Petals?

This is Make Believe!
No really, I'm serious it is, it's the name of the jewelry label by Amber Joy and Ebony Fleur cutely dubbed Ambony.

Make Believe is a jewelry label that was created out of an obsession with creativity, art, music, design and well Japan. The two designers met while both living in Tokyo. Ebony from the South Coast of Australia and Amber from Canada. They both wanted to create something that was inspired by, well ... make believe. I would definitely say that the rose necklace, called "The Petal to the Metal Neckpiece" reminds me of the painted roses in Alice and Wonderland, also my favorite Disney move ever!. :)

So if you're looking for a "statement piece" I think you've found your jewelry designers. Though you will pay a bill or two for these babies. The Petal to the Metal Neckpiece will cost you $259 and that's in the Aussie Dollar, not to sure what that is US Dollar so check your currency conversions ... I'm out. x

Sum sum summertime <3

Summertime calls for strappy sandals, backless dresses and sun-kissed faces. Which also means exposed bra straps, foot blisters and shiny foreheads. These are definitely things we are going to want to avoid at all costs.

*Remember your Havanians!
*Invest in a backless bra, strapless bra and a convertible bra.
*Foot cream, no one wants to see your nasty cracked heels, lube it up girls!
*Blotting papers, to soak up the oily skin. dewy summer skin is hot but shiny is not.

Remember these little tips and you should be good to go!

Bible verse of the day: John 11:25- Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even though they die"

Shapes of Soukupova

Here is a shot of the lovely Hana Soukupova in the latest issue of Dazed & Confused. This shot was based on 80's fashion innovator Maria Blaisse known for her sculptural shapes, as you can clearly see by the headpiece. Jason Kibbler shot this editorial styled by Karen Langley with pieces by Givenchy and Margiela, set design by Gary Card (he is probably the one who made that interesting hat deal she is wearing) to mimic the original Blaisse look. Hana did her job and did it well bring the extra and final touch to the elegance of the story.

Bible verse of the day: Hebrews 13:18- Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

Keats, I love your name!

Isn't she adorable? Keats, 17, is with Premier Model Management and originally from Russia. Keats was discovered in a local fashion show in Russia and we can guess her career will definitely be on the rise soon. Not sure of her exact date of birth but she is a Cancer. Oh and a few of her favorite things according to models.com: bags, tall shoes- "higher the better" and she loves fast cars.

You'll definitely want to watch this one, keep your eyes peeled for up coming fashion spreads with Keats!

French Fries

Models come in like a fresh crop of strawberries, cherries, corn? Well you get the idea, point is they come in waves. The Brazilians, the Russians, the Scandinavians, the Belgians- each group of girls embodying the style and attitude to represent their nation along with the look to fit their country and certain fashion era. So let's now welcome this new wave we will call The French Revolution: Melodie Dagault, Charlotte Di Calypso, Jennifer Messelier, Sigrid Agren, Constance Jablonski and former MOTW Mathilde Frachon. This image was shot by the wonderful and amazing Victor Demarchelier (one of my favs) as the fresh faced representatives of the next generation of power players to take over the fashion industry. Based on these girls booking big jobs left and right it looks as though the psychic told us right!

Bible verse of the day: Genesis 1:1- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Numero Cover, again ... C McNeil

Catherine McNeil does it again, another cover for Numero for her. I wasn't sure if she would be able to top her last one for Numero since it was basically the strongest cover the magazine ever had. I am not sure this one is better but it is definitely stunning, she sure has perfected that pout that has become her staple.

Bible verse of the day: John 15:13- Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.

Karolin Wolter

Ok, from working in fashion and shoot after shoot I have to admit studio shooting can be insanely tedious. When you're just working with a gray back drop, model and clothing those two elements must be on point, the styling and the model. However, the killer team who worked on this shoot with Karoline Wolter kicked some serious butt! Terry Tsiolis attention to detail and Brana Wolfs expert styling worked well together to capture this stunning shot. Again when it comes to gray walls it's the clothing. This image is gorgeous I love the double wooden bangles on both wrists one arm brown one arm black. Two thumbs up from me.

Bible verse of the day: Galitians 5:22- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.

Oh my oh model...

Check out New York Model's new Dutch discovery Ylonka. Only 17 years old and straight in from The Netherlands. (Minus those cute little wooden shoes. ;))

I see tons of editorials in the future for this stunner, not to mention runway shows. I am sure she'll be in high demand coming the Spring 2010 shows, what do you think? We are all born with our own talent, that special gift from God. Ylonka's happens to be modeling and you can't deny she is pretty captivating in that image.

Bible Verse: John 14:15- If you love me keep my commands.

Feathers Yesterday. Fringe Today!

Yesterday was all about the feather headpieces which I love. Today it's about the FRINGE! I'm really feeling this whole feather trend, though I am not a fan of the feather earrings. No beuno.

Any who, check out this bag by Satori it's their Satori Kinichie Fringe and Feather bag. Adore! Drawstring top with a contrasting two feather detail, beading and made of real leather. I love the across body strap and the choice of colored feathers. Most people don't think to put purple and yellow together but they are great contrasting colors. This bag isn't even that much, it's a steal at $76.95! I think I just might buy it right now. You wanna buy it too? Get it here: ASOS

Everything from the hippie era is coming back in full force. It's pretty funny my Mom tells me pretty much daily that she had something just like whatever it is I'm wearing when she was in college. Hah... come to think of it I think my Mom might have a bag just like this one. Better check the attic first. ;)

Bible Verse of the Day: Romans 3:23- For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Feather Head Pieces?

Feather headpieces seem to be sweeping the fashion scene these days. At least for the hip fashion trend setters. I wasn't sure about these when I first started seeing them, I mean who wants to run around looking like a little Indian child? Though I must say after I saw Erin Wasson (who I love) sporting a few different ones, not so "Last of the Mohicans" I fell in love. So much so that I decided to make a few of my own. Now I am all into making these feather headpieces and other kinds of headpieces too. Maybe I'll take some photos of them and post them in a few days.

You can order the head piece in the image above from Little Doe, they make one of a kind made to order headpieces. Check them out, you'll fall in love!

Bible Verse of the day: Proverbs 22:24-Do not make friends with the hot-tempered, do not associate with those who are easily angered.

Style style ... STYLE!


I love each and every one of these looks, how cute is the last outfit? So simple I love it! Simple outfits are the best, that stripped shirt looks super comfy too. I love oversize tops with skinny jeans honestly the best look. :)

Bible Verse of the day: Job 8:21-He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

Flannel Shirts <3

I love myself a cozy flannel shirt, I probably have about 10 of them. From the cute more fitted ones to the boyfriend oversized ones that look so cute with leggings, they even work as a shirt dress. These shirts aren't going anywhere anytime soon, at least not if I can help it! :)

Today's Verse:
John 14:1-Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

The Hat Says It!

Who said Jesus didn't love fashion? I mean after all Jesus was looking pretty good in that white robe and rope sandal get-up he was sporting back in the day, no?

This blog is about fashion in everyday life, inspirational images that inspire you. People who have a mind of their own and aren't afraid to be who they are, believe what they believe and voice just that. They are inspired by what is around them and dress according to who they are inside. Call it indie, call it hipster, call it hippie, call it boho, call it what you will but we are all just people and we don't need to be put into boxes and categorized. Why can't we all just ... be?

Verse of the day:
Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

*You must believe! :)
