S P R I N G:

My beautiful friend Robin just did a springtime photo shoot with photographer Iulia Agnew and I had to share.  Iulia said it best, "Robin is such a delicate beauty" and Iulia's lense captures that effortlessly.  The perfect blend of ethereal effervescence and elegant grunge.  This is doing spring the right way and I'm sprung.  And yowza that pink hair!

Check out Iulia's talented works and her transcendental splendor will enchant you.

Love Me Not:

Happy Love Day!  Even though I'm one of those "Every day should be Valentine's Day" believers it is a good reminder to keeps things special.  Having said that, my wardrobe is an all black everything everyday and so I vouch to incorporate more colour in my wardrobe, especially this red cape.  After being hung in my closet for years I decided to dust it off and throw it on just to see how it looked.  Now I remembered why I had bought it in the first place and why I had been holding onto it for all this time.  I had forgotten how special it was and how it made me feel.  Sometimes it takes a little reminding to brighten a love.  Whatever that may be.


(cape: vintage, dress: vintage, necklaces: Wolf Circus, Istanbul, Forever 21, boots: h&m, long stem roses: my everyday special love.)

Lookbook Love: Land of Eternal Spring

For Love and Lemons Spring 2014

Stylist: Ashley Glorioso

Photographer: Zoey Grossman

My favourite duo has done it again!  Ashley and Zoey have come together for the latest lookbook dream from For Love and Lemons.  There were so many amazing looks from this shoot that it was hard for me to narrow it down. Everything about this is smothered with bohemian romance. From the embellished accessories to the sultry lace and tousled hair, I swoon!  Can we talk about the return of gladiator sandals? Yep, I'm sold and ready for spring to awaken.
