TRY. riding a bike.



bicycles have become just another fashion accessory to accentuate an outfit and a great idea for transportation involving exercise and looking fabulous. refinery29 did an article about the "10 most fashionable bikes for ladies" and came up with a lot of cute finds. one of my favorites being the cynthia rowley beach cruiser.



leighton meeister was seen riding this bike in an episode of gossip girl...i wonder why i like it so much :)

graphic.



after looking through the resort 2010 collections i was rather impressed by 3.1 phillip lim's collection. lim mixes girly laces and florals with a rock inspired flare. the look above was my favorite of the collection with a graphic tee and bomber paired with a short fitted skirt. this orange county native designer knows how to pull off the laid back california look that i love.

"i love chanel. she was always modern, always stylish, but with a wicked sense. she had such a rebellious attitude, and i love that."

*Trend: Shine on


Metallic colors, sequins, beads and shiny stones are the common elements for shiny. Fashion designers mix-and-matches them to create different charming effects. In this Spring fashion shows everything from skirts, pants to day dresses and evening gowns contained high-shine fabrics. For this season, sequins in metallic and gold looks perfect on your summer tanned skin. Let the shiny piece be the focus of your entire outfit and leave everything else neutral.

Tell me what you think about my favourites for this trend and
