*Trend: Leather

*First of all, I wanna excuse me to all my dear bloggers for the delay, but I went on a trip to my father for 3 weeks (who lives in Spain), but now I'm back in bussiness again!*

I wanted to start my blog message with a big trend alert; leather. It's becoming a huge trend ass well for Spring as for Autumn. This 'leather trend' already started at the Givenchy catwalk show a few months ago, and since then it's just got bigger and bigger. This Spring, leather cropped up by way of shorts, frocks, and skirts just as often as it did classic leather bombers. Why are they such a big hit? They create instant urban edge and adds dark glamour to any ensemble.

But just be careful, don’t overload on the leather and keep it simple!

*Tell me your opinion about leather and how to combine it!*

*Fashion: French Vogue 2009 Calendar

I just found this sexy pinup photos for the Vogue Paris Calendar, and I knew I had to write a post about it to share it with all of you. Bunnies, cowgirls and pussycats.. Fourteen different girls are featured, photographed by Terry Richardson and styled by Carine Roitfeld as pinups of the 50's in Louis Vuitton lingerie and shoes. In la France, fashion is all about the art of seduction. Eniko Mihalik graces the cover as a sexy cat which is definitely the strongest picture of this fierce calendar. Enjoy the snapshots and tell me what you think!

accessorize.

i am obsessed with accessories and i believe that adding a piece of statement jewelry, a stand-out bag or a great pair of shoes can transform an outfit into something with a totally new feel. but accessories are not always just for wear...how people store their accessories can also be a piece of art to decorate a room. one of my favorite websites, theselby.com, has a gallery of excellent photographs that give a sneak peak into the homes of designers, artists, journalists and many more.

now how about getting a little personal...here is how i accessorize.

rich girls.

the virgins are such a cool band. perfect summer music.

halo.

just purchased this $12 sequin headband from free people. i love the elastic headband that i can wrap around my forehead to emphasize my hippie-ness. and bonus points cause this one has sequins.

new 'do.

lauren conrad is sporting a new hair 'do with bangs! i may be biased but i love me some bangs and i am also really wanting some of her nerd shades...

me and my little sister trying on some nerd shades at nordstrom...maybe once i move to nyc i will have to invest in a pair. alabama may not know how to handle them...

*Runway: BCBG Max Azria

The Spring show of BCBG Max Azria was all about putting powerfull women in the spotlight. Sexiness was definitely on Max Azria’s mind: there were plenty of deep armholes, plunging necklines and up-to-there slits. The colors were earthy: gray, cloudy whites, mocha and taupe... Graceful and playful dresses looked great for a night out and kept BCBG to its name. Jump-suits, high-waisted skirts, dresses and pants were all about the pockets and got as glamorous as they could get. The killer heels and attitude of the models made the show complete.
