What have my girls been up to?

Amber Rose is kickin' it in NYC with Kanye... You know I need those shoes.

Kimmy broke up with Reggie. (Keep your chin up babes.) And then she went blond! Looks good on her too.

Miroslava is vacationing... a lot. LOVE that dress.

Giovanna has been out and about with Domenico and Stefano. I need that entire outfit.

This is why she's hot...

This is why she's spicy. This is why she's a style icon.

There's been much ado about LV's "Spicy" Sandals.






Thing is... I don't like them. They make no sense to me. Too kitschy, too cartoony... oh, I don't know... Too something... I just don't get it.

Yet Giovanna get's it perfectly right. Check out the details; how her red watch and blue braclet tie in with the colors in the shoes. She kept the colours of the outfit completly neutral so that the shoes could shine. Damn she's good!

The girl in the grey sweater...

...is Giovanna Battaglia, fashion editor L'Uomo Vogue. Now this is a very stylish woman on any given day, but I've especially loved seeing her wear her grey turtle neck sweater again and again, with stunning looks every time! I imagine it's cashmere and just really soft and comfortable and warm and yummy. :-) She clearly enjoys wearing it. Such a great example of wearing signature or eye catching pieces with loved and cherished staples!

Here's the look that Giovanna's grey sweater extravaganza inspired for me. I wore this yesterday.

I suppose I was inspired by the color pallet as well. I love pairing grey with bright colors. Black, I think, can make brights look cheap. The wrong combination of black and yellow can easily look a bit "bumble bee" and black with orange always makes me think of a supermarket "SALE" sign. Grey forms the perfect background for colorful pieces to pop out and shine. I'm also loving my new snake print flats! I LOVE animal prints! I'll do a post on that soon, I think.

In the mean time I leave you with... PERFECTION:



They're by Maison Martin Margiela and available at Browns. How wonderful are these lovelies?! My heart skipped a beat when I first saw these boots. This is genius in design AND execution! Here is Rihanna out and about in her patent leather pair.
