The perfect flat

I absolutely adore these Valentino studded flats. I've had my eye on them for a while, wondering if they could be practical and I've come to a glorious decision: duh! The delicate straps give a beautiful femininity with just a touch of hard edge from the bordering little silver studs. While the red is more of a statement style, I'm partial to the nude color seen on Alexa Chung. Paired with a 50's frock, the neutral shade is a perfect way to bring a slim line all the way down the leg.

Spring camp!

I recently ended a few of my magazine subscriptions in an attempt to cut back on my lack of cash flow so, I spent the day at Newsbar on 12th street yesterday flipping through everything from V magazine to Lucky. And, I really got into some of the spring ad campaigns. Below are a few that I am particularly smitten with...

I really love the pale pink hair in the Valentino ads...something I could never pull off but I think looks so effortlessly, I-don't-give-a-shit cool.














I wasn't familiar with Vera Wang's spring collection but when I was flipping through God knows which magazine I saw this ad and got really excited to check it out. This look seems like something a bit out of left field for VW but I think it's smashing - gothic fairy meets hollywood glamour.
























Fendi's spring collection has a familiar Rodarte quality to it and I love the dichotomy of the hard-edge torn dress and the whimsical background...the whole campaign is really stunning.
