ski style

going on a skiing trip this weekend, so of course, i was surfing around the web for stylish & functional outfits to wear on the slopes. i'm still sort of lost, and going to just layer everything i own onto myself, but it's fun to look and be inspired by these images. turns out, victoria beckham looks the "posh"-est of them all, with her variety of ski looks.

also have to include the always stylish kate moss, in her glam ski bunny attire -- complete with a luxurious fur hat and big bold hollywood shades.

elegance

whenever i see a photo of giovanna battaglia, a well-known fashion editor, i always stop and stare. she carries off everything she wears with such style and grace.

keep it simple, stupid

isn't it interesting how this small phrase applies to so many things in life? :) including fashion -- but of course!

long skirt trend

i've been seeing this trend here and there, and i must say, i'm liking it a lot! i haven't seen long skirts done in the winter for a very long time, so it's a revival of sorts...but in a fun and modern way. it's most appealing to me when done monochromatically, as michael kors did in his fall 2010 rtw show. tone on tone with a cool, easy, hip-slung belt and you've got a look that's incredibly chic.

cozy booties

it's friday and it's officially fall, and so of course i was doing what every other girl in the world was - online shopping for new boots. and i saw these. and i l.o.v.e. them.

these rugged yet cozy booties by lamb are so perfect. they've got a great neutral shade, a wonderfully soft-looking shearling cuff, cool lace-up ties, a glamorous 5 inch heel, and the perfectly rounded toe. all that's missing is me (or you) in them.

super woman

i wrote about capes last winter and now i'm back again with another entry about these elegant pieces. roomy and comfortable, with that easy flowing chic-ness that i just love, capes really do ooze with style. just slip one on over a basic outfit and you've got a super power look that is just so fly. there are so many i love this season--each vary in their silhouettes, but all drape down so beautifully with their extra fabric. want.need.have-to-have!

polished snooki

when looking for hair 'dos, it's all about the height, volume, and drama. so, for your next big shindig, choose any of these looks. they've got class and style, but still pack a real punch with a whole lotta attitude.
