my little pony locks.

i am loving all of the my little pony inspired hues on the tips of these ladies' locks. lauren conrad held a poll on her website (thebeautydepartment.com), where her followers voted that she add blue, pink and purple dye to the tips of her hair; lady gaga has been sporting all-over sorbet colored strands which reminds me of my favorite summer treat, moon mist ice cream; while many girls in the blogosphere have been experimenting with rainbow hues in their hair, as well. 
i am incredibly tempted to try this hair trend, but am unsure if i want the long-term commitment... i may just stick to my turquoise clip-in extentions or dye a few of my brown ones (that i no longer need cos my hair is finally long on all its own!).

paper crown.

lauren conrad introduces a lookbook for upcoming line, paper crown.

full of minimalistic looks, fashion forward pieces mixed with everyday basics and lots of neutrals, blacks and feminine prints.

lauren may have had her future mtv show cancelled [apparently mtv felt it was too "high-brow" for their typical audience- lauren wanted complete control over what would actually make the cut on her fashion oriented show], but i truly believe she will still come out on top.

with what looks like her best work yet, lauren sticks to what she knows will look beautiful on women - simplicity, feminine cuts and basic, yet edgy designs. whether it's a sexy pair of leather leggings and a billowy blouse; a etherial floor-sweeping maxi gown; or silhouette-flattering shorts paired with a blazer, LC [as she is better known by her loyal fashion pack] has designed something to satisfy everyone.

 

 

this collection really impressed me, partially because it reminds me of one of my favorite stores, aritzia- the whole minimalist, neutrals, boxy meets sexy vibe, and one of the lines i regularly lust for, the row- mary kate and ashley olsen's more urban, sophisticated, edgier line.

my favorite looks are:

1- the brooklyn jacket and abigal maxi skirt (second from bottom)

2- the ryder blazer and hudson leather short (first look)

3- the camilla sweater and dakota leggings with black hat (sixth look)

4- the ella gown in floral vine print (seventh look)

i can whole-heartedly say that i will be counting down the days until this line becomes available.... apparently sometime this coming autumn, which is safe to say, not nearly soon enough.

fall forecast.

hi bloggers! i've been slacking a little bit lately - (sorry!!) but it's summer and i've been a busy lady!

with that said, i think it's best to discuss what comes after summer.... that being, my favorite fashion season of them all: autumn.

finally we can free ourselves from the horrible smog, the heatwaves, the sticky sweat. it's almost time to layer! to wear cute jackets! to put our boots back on and tuck our leggings and tights in them! the colors get darker and the materials get cozier!
i'm sure not all of you are with me on this one, but for all of my fashion friends, i know they agree, fall is the most fabulous.

topping my list of finds for fall two-thousand and ten are:

-a badass, yet girly pair of combat boots (come on, they will go with absolutely everything!)

-long sleeve crop tops (keeping the cropped trend alive, but making it a bit more accessible to those cooler temperatures that will soon be upon us)

-faux fur (i've got my eye on a beautiful faux fur vest from club monaco, once their f/w stock hits the floors)

-fringe bags (picked myself up a black vintage one in halifax, that is covered in not only fringe, but tons of gold and silver studs)

-comfies (yup, leggings -leather or cotton-, trousers and harem sweats are back my friends)

some ladies that i feel deserve some recognition for their stylish ways as of late are:

lo bosworth - working a long sleeve tee in with her summery shorts and wedges

lauren conrad - keeping with the summer mini, but the super long sleeves and army green hue make it perfect for fall

rachel bilson - cropped tee and slouchy pants couldn't look cuter


jessica szhor - stunning in her white skinnies, wedges and amazing peacock earrings

lastly, head mistress (a toronto based company that specializes in fashion forward accessories - anything from hippie head bands, fur cuffs or feathered hair clips), has debuted their f/w 2010 line and it is full of faux fur!! my personal favorite is the edgar lake faux fur headband. girls of toronto: you need to get your hands on one of these super cute pieces before they're all gone... you've been warned.
