Peter Pilotto SS12 ♥

Peter Pilotto SS12 ♥

I really love the SS12 collection from Peter Pilotto! Kind of Mary Katrantzou-esque with the sassy patterns and structured silhouettes… love it and totally want that dress on the lower right. Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos are the designers behind the Peter Pilotto label. Pilotto is half-Austrian, half-Italian and De Vos is half-Belgian, half-Peruvian....

I Put A Spell On You...

I Put A Spell On You…

I have been terrible about writing lately. Things to blame: bright eyes… my favorite enigma…hurricanes… mi sol… trouble… etc. This always happens, the end summer (sniff)  has me running around like a crazy person trying to soak up those last rays of sunshine… Plus, with a million fashion weeks around the corner, I know I’ll...

Press n' Go?

Press n’ Go?

I’m seriously skeptical about this new wave of press n’ go make-up… it can’t really work, can it? They have products for nails (kind of makes sense), eyes (hmm…..) and even lips! More on TrendyGirl….

The Rodnik Band by Phil Colbert

It’s been raining for like… 4 days in a row with no sign of sunshine (but hopefully some SS!) in sight… I thought I’d lighten the mood and share these playful designs from The Rodnik Band by Phil Colbert….I actually love the Campbell’s Soup dress. Warhol would approve? The urinal dress is well… creative, but...
