the roitfelds - mom and daughter style

how cute (and hot) is this mom and daughter combo? of course, we wouldn't expect anything less from the past editor-in-chief of french vogue and her talented model daughter. these two are always perfectly turned out, without ever looking too perfect -- which is part of that hard to achieve french charm. this picture is especially fun because of the way they have coordinated with eachother -- check out julia's animal print pumps slightly reflecting mom carine's animal print trench.

valentine spirit

no real updates for today, but enjoy this gorgeous image of flowers, with pretty candlelight, too. it puts me in a valentine's day spirit -- and how appropriate, it's the first of february, with the lovey-dovey day not too far away.

swapan & seema -- lakme india fashion week, autumn 2009

after browsing through most of the fall/winter 2009 collections presented at lakme india fashion week, i have to say that this was one of my favorites. from perfectly draped saris to sophisticated suits and lenghas, this collection was just so pretty. the rich & lovely shades of wine, the romantic lace details, and the sheer beauty of the fabrics were all very glamourous.

power couple

purple & red -- a combination of hues rarely seen together as they both represent strength, boldness, vivacity, and immense spirit...but when paired as one in the right way, balance can be found, and the end result is strikingly beautiful...
