What it takes...

Finally, Inspiration Wednesday. Smiles.

Sorry this has been on and off, but it's back today and we should be glad because I personally think it's a really good one.

We've only heard recently about her a million times because of a certain movie called The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Yes, Rooney Mara.

Rooney Mara is certainly not disappointing anyone on her The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo promotional tour. For a relative newcomer, she's been flawless on the tour with her hands always slightly clasped. And her blunt bang is a hard hairstyle to deal with, but she works it every time. All her outfits effectively convey her angular aesthetic. I fell in love with every single one. She chose to showcase the garments by wearing little to no jewelry. All her looks bring about an edginess yet she looks positively Hepburn every time, especially that last black Nina Ricci she wore to the Golden Globes. Simply amazing. It's enough to send me on bended knee to her style prowess. Um, swoon.

Oh sidenote: I made myself a Tumblr. Come check it out here. Maybe follow me. Smiles.

Love you all...

(Especially you Mikey, if you're reading this, happy birthday. Smiles.)

Your lipstick stains...

So I finally saw Black Swan and I really liked it.

I knew Rodarte was doing the costuming of the movie which made me really happy. It made me think if Hubert de Givenchy doing the costumes for Audrey Hepburn in her movies.

I would love to do the styling for a movie. That is one of my many dreams.

Their designs were beautiful.

Just thought I'd share the beauty.

Your clothes just fall off, as the day goes...

Summer is dragging on. It's really hot. I'm excited for fall. I always get like this in the middle of the summer.

So there are a couple of fall trends I fell in love with at New York Fashion Week a couple months ago. I look forward to getting cheaper versions of what I saw since I can't afford anything.

I decided that I will share them with you today.

1. Fur - I already have a faux fur vest that was given to me by my sister, but I would like to have a faux fur coat. I don't want it to be too big and I saw some that are perfect.

Michael Kors - Derek Lam - Peter Som

2. Romance - I have realized I need to dress more girlie. I mean, I like girlie clothes but it all depends on what the piece of clothing looks like. I want something romantic but edgy. Give me black lace. Love it.

Philosophy - Rodarte - Vera Wang

3. Fantasy Blood - This shade could be super scary on people, but if it's done right, it's beautiful. It's a rich and beautiful color.

Rodarte - Diesel Black Gold - DKNY

Enjoy your day.
