Rebecca Minkoff--Spring 2011

Je m'appelle YSL

I got this fantastic book on Yves Saint Laurent and after savoring every beautiful page, I had to share some of my favorite YSL photos with you. I absolutely love this designer! The book is literally called "Yves Saint Laurent" and was, as the book says, "made possible through the patronage of Madame Carla Bruni-Sarkozy". It's pretty much the ultimate YSL Bible.

(Front Cover) Seriously, yall need to check this out!

The great man himself <3

I'm not a fan of people using real fur, but I love the lighting in this picture

these fiery feathers look like they belong to a phoenix

Twiggy

l.o.v.e.

Love the lighting in this one too; I'm a big fan of gypsies

I think the best part of being a model would be getting to do awesome shoots like this. I would give so much to pose in gorgeous dresses with wild animals! Maybe I'll go find some squirrels and go all disney princess on you...wait, I actually like that...hmmm

Prom 1

Hey all, here are a couple sites to check out for prom dresses. Some are designer, some do include the ones I'm guessing you want nothing to do with (but then again, that can happen on any site). Let me know what you think! Give me some links if you find ones that you like :) If the one you like isn't at all in your price range and/or you have no idea what type of dress you want, use these sites for inspiration. I'll keep looking for more! Happy hunting!

So Contagious

For those of you that were able to see the musical I was in, Les Miserables, thank you and I hope you liked it!!! I'm actually sick as a dog here (never really understood that phrase), but luckily I don't think it's contagious...unlike these two trends! (golly I just crack myself up sometimes). Now, for those of you that have the "trends come and go, style is forever" mindset (which I too believe is true) remember that even though trends are constantly being redefined, you don't have to copy them; just use them for inspiration! TREND: Nude and Natural
