My New Favorite Style Icons for Men

The BB Brunes are a new French rock band. I heard of them just recently (courtesy of my boyfriend).
I can't help but LOVE their look!
The first photo is my favorite. :) It shows the essence of French street style.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Taylor Swift - Straight or Curly?

Spring, already?

We all know that designers release their new collections of clothing many months before the proper season (which is only reasonable), but don't forget that the holiday season of dressing up is just beginning! With Halloween out of the way, it's time for gorgeous snowflakes, red ribbons and candy canes. Time to bring out the pretty holiday party dresses and extra-special outfits. Ah, the magic of winter. What could be better than this?

Who doesn't love the scent of mom's wonderful pumpkin pie throughout the house, and family all around the fire on Christmas day? There is so much to be thankful for.

I would encourage us all to make our own fashion statements this holiday season. How many times have we waited to see what was "in" instead of following our own inspiration?

After all, the people are the ones who really make the fashions... ;)

A few winter inspirations:

Hayden - Red Lisptick and a Bob!

We have all seen Hayden's signature long hair look, which is always pretty, but what do you think about this bob?
I was most attracted to the hue of her lipstick. Her short cut only compliments that! Very chic!
Your thoughts?
