Rachel Zoe's new collection

 
Does this girl ever stop? We don't think so. She is due in March, creating a new collection and she is still dressing all of her clients for the oscars in Feb.  It makes us exhausted just thinking about it.

Anywhooo these are two peices that we are dying to include in our collection.  Also must note...their is some controversy that Zoe stole some looks from vintage pieces, but honestly, aren't most designers inspired by something?

Another quote

We usually try not to put two quotes so close together...but this one really caught our eye today.  We think these are good words to live by in the new year.

Found the quote on gala's blog.

We die

Abbey Lee in the new Tom Ford ad campaign....we ask you, has she ever looked better?

Monday Inspiration

So long champagne toasts, sequins, glitter, fur, too short dresses, freezing legs, gift wrapped presents and home cooked feasts.  The holidays have ended once again and it is time to reenter the real world.  But for now, these pictures will keep us smiling.

Let's make this year a good one.

It Girl of the Month: Olivia Palermo (December Edition)

We have tried to resist loving Olivia Palermo for quite some time.  We didn't like her attitude on the city and we hated the way she acted so entitled.  Well, we realize that reality tv does not always paint people in the best light and since the show she has continued to impress us with her outfits, her demeanor and her ascent into the fashion world.

Who she is: Olivia was born in February of 1986.  Her father is a real estate developer from Italy and her mother is an interior designer.  She spent her childhood between New York City and Greenwich Connecticut.  She grew up very involved in charity events in NY and was involved in a scandal regarding a letter she sent to NY socialites, begging for acceptance.  (These are the things that held us back from liking her....but we do think she has come far from these incidents.)

What she does: She has obviously dabbled in acting (the hills) and is also a model.  She was in the recent Mango ad campaign beside her boyfriend model, Johannes Huebl, who she has been dating since 2008.  She just announced in the January Issue of Vogue Spain that she will be launching her own clothing line and creating a reality show around it.

Why we love her: For starters we are a bit jealous of her.  She obviously has an insane closet, amazing genes and an extremely good looking boyfriend.  But the main reason that we have made her our it girl is because of her style.  Olivia always looks put together.  Every single outfit that she wears seems to be thought out and well styled.  We usually dislike outfits that aren't effortless, but with Olivia we really appreciate that she takes time to put together her clothing choices.

On her style: Her closet must contain the following: Birkin bags, Every top seller from Topshop,  the best gems that Zara has to offer, accessories from all over the world and couture gowns made by some of her designer bffs.  Olivia (as with most of our it girls) mixes high and low fashion extremely well.  She wears a ton of Zara and Topshop, mixed with ready-to-wear pieces.  She throws in amazing finds that she has grabbed on her travels throughout the world.  She did a piece for British Vogue on her outfits for 30 days and it helps inspire us in our wardrobe!  You can see that piece here.  Over all we are excited to see her continue to grow and her outfit choices along the way.

Our favorite blogs of 2010

We have spent a great portion of 2010 being inspired and endlessly entertained by these blogs.  We are so thankful to the writers of each of these for providing us with ideas, inspiration and a good amount of fun.  Here's to hoping that they keep it up in 2010 and amazing new blogs are found in 2011.

1.  Stardust and Sequins: An oldie but a goodie.  This has been our number 1 stop for inspiration over the past year.  The pictures on this site are so in line with our style and what moves us, it's amazing. 

2.  Charmed She*s Sure:  Clearly we are suckers for blogs with good photos.  This blog has some of the best inspiration pictures as well.  We tend to get alot of our good stuff from here.

3.  Jak and Jil Blog: We couldn't leave Tommy Ton out, we really couldn't.  Although this blog isn't a new one for us, we still ready every post.  We have enjoyed watching Tommy grow as a photographer and we are still blown away by his work.  He really is the best for street style pics of our favorites.  It also helps that he loves the exact same people that we do.

4.  Inspire/chictopia tumblr: we have found some of the best quotes and pictures on this site.  This tumblr is a no-brainer and a quick read.  One of the best, easiest places that we find inspiration.

5.  French Frosting: this one is actually a spinoff of stardust and sequins, clearly we like this girl's style.  She posts the prettiest pictures on this one, including food, fashion etc.  This is the perfect blog to boost your mood.  Just try and look at these pictures without smiling.

Hope all of you readers enjoy this list!  Add these to your list of must read and we promise you won't be disappointed.  Hopefully 2011 brings even more inspiration.
