My first Vera Wang.

Last week I was shopping at Buffalo, and lo and behold, I found this gorgeous skirt. It's cream-colored silk, with different-sized navy dots.

And, what's this?


It still had the tags on!


And jeez! Check out that original price.


This skirt really deserves to be paired with more than my $10 Target tank, and I'm totally working on that. Although, no promises that I'll be able to unearth a Vera Wang top to match. Hey, this new skirt is going to have to learn to mix it up with the Target hoodrats and the like. In this closet, clothes get along.

girl crush

How much do you love Marion Cotillard? I first saw her in A Very Long Engagement, along with Audrey Tautou, (one of my other girl crushes). She's unforgettable in La Vie En Rose, in which she completely earned her Oscar for her genius portrayal of Edith Piaf.
You may have also seen her pretty face in Inception.

But, have you seen her latest photoshoot for Vogue?


I aspire to shoot photos like these: gorgeous girl, gorgeous location, gorgeous lighting, gorgeous styling, et cetera et cetera.
