One more day to vote!

Sorry I didn't put up the mid-voting progress for this round. I have been a little busy (why must teachers leave due dates around the same time?). There won't be a review this week because I haven't had any time to watch anything. Once this week is over, I'll have some more time (yay!)

Anyway, you have one more day to vote in Round 4. Then it will be onto the final round to decide the winner!

If I have some time, I'll see what I can do about putting up some buttons for the final round. Maybe tommorow, but maybe Saturday. I'll have to see.

*Inspiration*

Enjoy... :)

Natalie Portman, looking gorgeous
while pregnant! {I really couldn't
notice, actually}

The beautiful Audrey Hepburn, who I just did whole

inspiration post on! :)

Really, I would love to *open* those packages!

But I would NOT love to drive that car...

Now we know how many wedding rings a millionaire has... ;)

I love this photo of Olivier and Leigh... they are so cute!

Confession: how many of us have done this before? ;)

Yes, another castle!

I have been attempting this hairstyle for the
past two years! Any suggestions?

Yes, another photo of the gorgeous miss Leigh =)

My new hat!! {isn't it exquisite?}

Mount Rainier cherries.... delicious!

No, not the *most* modest dress,
but I could make it better with some
of these lovelies in this post. :)

The. Hat. *swoon* And that dress!!! And coat!!
Of course, from Oscar De La Renta :)

This is my closet.... {in my daydreams}

I am saddened by her death and pray for her loved
ones.... she was a beautiful, stylish woman who made
her mark on history. {Elizabeth Taylor}

Only one more day until the weekend! Hope it is a lovely one. =)

Icons

I found these photos of my all-time favorite fashion icons Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I am inspired (and almost obsessed!) by them since I was a little girl and now they're grown women I love them even more. In their teens they were all American twins: same clothes, hair and expression. But now they have chosen their own apth and living their own lives and it shows. Mary-Kate and Ashley are more successful than ever, but more behind the scenes. They are the owners and designers of two high-fashion lines, namely The Row and Elizabeth and James. The Olsens are the most famous twins in the world and they will never ever use their names anymore to sell. It's all about their creations.

These shots are taken for Vogue US, April 2011.

Enjoy!

Jewelry..

Necklaces Mi Casa, Maria bracelet Mi Casa, Gold watch Vintage

I'm really into gold jewelry these days.. I love gold watches and necklaces, they are always giving your outfit a little touch.

This vintage watch is my absolute favorite. It looks really old fashioned and in reality, it IS old fashioned.. My mom bought this 18 carat gold watch from her savings when she was in her mid-twenties (and this watch is kind of big for these days!). A few months ago my mom found it in a little jewelry box of her and she gave it to me. I couldn't be more happy because I was looking for such a watch for months.

I wonder if I will ever be able to give it to my (future?!) daughter some day..

Style Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn

Do I really need an introduction for this woman? ;)

Don't worry, the ones with the HUGE hats are from My Fair Lady :)

Audrey Hepburn never considered herself beautiful, 

something I find  surprising. But, she was so not 

the normal beauty during her time... She lived in the 

time of Marilyn Monroe, when normal beauty meant curvy, 

blonde, and ditzy. ;) Yet she  was still considered one of 

the most beautiful women of her time. Perhaps that was because 

of her class and poise? =) Or maybe it is because she expressed

her individuality well, and people were captivated by it. We

shall never know, I suppose... :)

Yes, we all have our un-classy moments... ;)

My, aren't you just loving these hats?! :)

If you weren't inspired by that, I think we need to get you to a fashion rehab clinic! ;) 

God Bless, and I hope you have a lovely day. ♥
