So Pretty It Hurts: Juliette Hogan

I think it's apparent why Juliette Hogan named her Winter 2010 collection, "So Pretty It Hurts".  Honestly, I know a couple of people who would do illegal things for these pieces.

Full collection here.

Earring in the Holidays

I recently visited Pipa for the first time after many warranted recommendations.  The spanish-influenced tapas not only lived up to my expectations, but the place ultimately won me over because of the ambiance.  They probably could've served plain old pizza and I would've been just as smitten for those chandeliers!  Now that I'm gearing up for some serious holiday dress-up, I can't wait to find me a sweet pair of earrings, totally inspired by those sparkling beauties hanging from the ceiling.

Kiss of Red

I was debating whether or not to wear red lips today...and I think these two just made my mind up for me.

Girls Gone Wild

Honestly, if you want a girl to buy a dress, just put a baby leopard in the photo.

Inspiration: Nicolette Camille

Hello, beautiful! I can't get over how breathtaking Nicolette Camille's designs are. Just when I think that I've looked enough, I decide that I need about 20 more glances. I'm taking floral design classes of my own here in the city...and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want my arrangements to look like these. Each one of her portfolio photos reminds me of a very important rule to live by: be put together, but look effortless.

The Cat's Meow!

If any of you watch Boardwalk Empire, I'm sure you can agree that mostly all the women on the show are super glam, even pre-Nucky Margaret Schroeder.  You can argue that it may be their hair-do's, or maybe the fabulous 20s clothing, but I think it's the way they speak.  Just imagine saying the cutest things like "get a wiggle on", "swell", or "the bee's knees".  A happy day in an instant!
