Inspiration: Tres Simple


I found this look on the ASOS website a while back and I saved the image to my desktop because I’m in love with this look. It’s so simple, crisp and unpretentious yet so bossy!

I Spy: acid wash jeans trend



whats that saying we are always hearing time and time again in fashion? “Everything old is new again” What can I say I’m a sucker for a sale and I almost bought myself a pair of acid skinnys at this cheapy chain store here called Jennyfer. Looking back at it now, I’m in fashion regret.

Donna Karan’s Modern Leo tote


The new Donna Karan’s Modern Leo tote is a sexy, simple, some may say classy high end bag that begs attention in a sweet and sublte way. But are these reasons enough to shell out $1,895? To many women like myself who consider herself to have good fashion taste, but also understand the economic crunch thats going on right now ( look around in the retail industry sales are slumping and many retailers are filling chapter 11 and closing up shops) this bag will just get a passing eye.

What indulgences would I have to give up to save to buy this bag; I don’t do the habitual morning cup of Starbucks – which sucks I could at least save myself $800 for the year, eating in instead of eating out – hardly do that either, only other option is rent, which isnt really an option as it has to be paid. I’m curious to see how popular it becomes, if it will make the ranks to become a “it bag”, trickle down to a quality Zara type imitation, or maybe even popular enough to end up on Chinatown?

Would you pay $1,895 for this or any other bag?

“I am working on that right now. It takes a lot of effort, and I want to be involved with every step of the process.”

Rihanna talking to InStyle Magazine about the possiblity of her new clothing line. I love Rihanna’s sense of style I just hope she manages to have that creativity displayed in her peices and not end up being another celebrity who launched another junk clothing line.
