The Final Verdict: 2012 Oscar Awards Best Dressed
Sorry guys, I know I am super-duper late with my picks for best dressed. I am glad that I let the hoopla of the awards show pass by before I chose my final picks. All in all, I thought it was an overall tame red carpet, but there were a few stars who stood out...
Eniko Mihalik for M Le Magazine du Monde February 2012
When I first delved head first in the world of catwalks and magazines, one of the first major models to catch my eye was Eniko Mihalik. She has this genuine sensibility with a doe-eyed stare that’s hard not to fall in love with. I don’t care how hot you think your body is, to be...
It’s Finally Here! Marni for H&M Look Book
Another day, another look book for a high-end/mass-market creation.

Now Trending: Sea Blue Earrings
I often find myself flipping through fashion magazines feeling less than inspired. Most people don’t know this, but I’m a magazine hoarder in secret. It’s a bad addiction to have. My magazine’s are my babies. As someone who constantly views editorials, it’s very rare that I land on a page that makes me want to...
