Bloom Bloom Pow

February 9, 2010

One of my favorite inspirational magazines, Bloom is produced by the ever so talented Li Edelkoort. My all time favorite trend service is put together by her as well, Trend Union. Here are some of the breath-taking images from various issues of Bloom magazine. Each issue amazes me by the way plant-life takes on real human form. Some images you cannot tell if it is a body part or a plant part.

Fabulous Twenty-Five

February 4, 2010

Today I am 25 years old!  The first quarter of my life was amazing and I am looking forward to the next quarter! Here are 25 small things that put a smile on my face, no matter what! 

1 Waiting on the street for a table at the best brunch place around, one with unlimited Mimosas and Bellinis! 

  

  

2 The Barney’s Warehouse Sale madness, where you go into the craziness and come out with a bright pair of fuchsia  Dolce and Gabanna booties that you have nothing to wear with, but you got such a great deal!  

  

3 Walking into Starbucks and the barista saying “The usual for you this morning?”  

  

4 Coming home from the longest day ever and finding love notes on the wall from my boyfriend…  

  

5 Receiving hand written letters from friends and family… letter writing is so personal and becoming a lost art!  

6 Giving tourists directions on the street…  

  

7 Wearing menswear with feminine womens wear…  

  

8 Going out for drinks and then shopping with my best girlfriends until the stores close late at night!  

9 Seeing inspirational outfits on the street…  

   

10 Starting my day reading inspirational blogs…  

  

11 Digging through barrels and bins at flea markets to find the unexpected gem!   

12 Colorful vintage printed fabrics  

  

13 Going to destination weddings, great excuse to take a vacation!  

  

14 Spending the entire afternoon in the magazine store and leaving with no magazines but all the fabulous fashion images in my head.  

  

15 Getting  a Pret A Manger brownie and slicing off small bites all afternoon with a plastic knife, it lasts so much longer!  

  

16 Late Thursday night dance parties for no reason!  

  

17 Free museum nights!  

  

18 Wearing close-to-black nail polish..  

  

19 Quirky photography 

  

20 Snow in the City  

  

21 Hot stone massages in the dead of winter… 

22 Ever evolving street art… 

  
23 Sitting outside the Fashion Week tents and taking it all in. 

  

24 Chandeliers 

  

25 All that sparkles!

Hangin’ In My Skivs

January 29, 2010

These Anthropologie skivs are so romantic and have such a great nostalgia to them, they are perfect for Valentine’s day!

Lulu Frost Jewels

January 22, 2010

Combining antique heirlooms with modern jewels, Lulu Frost’s   jewelry collections are anything but ordinary. Instant classics, these are statement pieces. What more could a girl want than forgotten Plaza door numbers as a charm on a bracelet or necklace? Talk about owning a piece of New York!

Black Drawings

January 21, 2010

I came across this fantastic artist, Federico Raffetto who does Black Drawings. I find them so inspirational!

The way he uses the negative space as part of the artwork is fantastic!

 

 He is also a talented photographer and web designer!

Alexis Dahan takes some amazing photos! She is able to capture a mood and feeling in each photo which isn’t always easy.

Here are some of my favorites from her online portfolio…

My favorite dresses of the Golden Globe evening…

From frills to striping and sky-high slits, these women encompassed all things gorgeous!

I just loved Chloe Sevigny’s ruffles as she walked towards the stage (and before the dress was torn by her escort).

This Valentino gown was playful and gorgeous!

January 17, 2010

 

I love the juxtaposition between the pure white fur and the shiny black leather!
