Young jawn party

































Madisyn Ritland as a modern day Mary Poppins for Jalouse Magazine. Bow and lace attire reminiscent of a little girl's tea party. Madisyn's smoked out eyes and sexy stare make it for big girls only.

Saturday Sights






















Showers to Flowers in the course of the day. The wetted down weather calls for layers upon layers of light pretties. Ainsley Coat from Yesstyle.com-- because its only 65. Wrap the the dots of topmax in a Milly belted cashmere cardi. Flounce in the fashion of this ksubi frill mini skirt and our hunter boots keep us dry to the floor. The under garms give us a glimpse of the flowers to follow the storm. Next weekend will be more seasonable. Enjoy the puddles precious!

Warm my heart








I long for lost love almost as much as
I long for the warm love of
my winter scarves
Its still chila in Phila.
Why cant I wear them?

High Snobbery
































Imparting the walking advice that was bestowed upon me by my maternal elders
(1) Walk only with a forward stare. If you're looking at others, they aren't look at you
(2)Walk like you own the sidewalk and you will
Nadia Cassini exemplifies this familial wisdom.

Model as Muse
































With Models as Muse we honor the beauties of fashion and the art
inspired by them.
Is there anything more lovely though, than a model inspired?

Clothes on vacation

Chanel Cruise 2010
What to love most?

BLACK AND WHITES
Pastels cease to look lovely on some skin tones (like mine)
so in the summer months, I still find myself reaching for this neutral pallet


















FLECKS OF GOLD
A color of the stars really.
Looks lovely against a classic back and apparently, on a red head































The secret of a lady's undergarments
Oh the secret struggle of wearing pantyhose. Don't deny it ladies, we all pull
them up on high.
Karl says to flaunt your too high hose while still remaining modest






























TRANSPARENT RED
Im cataloging this look for fall
Are the tights not to die for?






























LONG BLACK AND LEAN
A heavy fan..as always.
























AND THIS
Yes, her Chanel sunnies are on a stick
Yes, she is wearing tiny, tight spandex(esque?) shorts with lace trim
and yes, that is a fantastic fluffy collar

Simple touch of a creme long sleeve under a black blazer
A blazer, as a splurge item, should be worn as many ways as possible
