Chanel Spring 2010





It didn't exactly come to Karl Lagerfeld in a vision—more of "an electronic flash in my head at five o'clock one morning. Silver and pastel," he said. "It's the first time in my whole career I've done a collection without black or navy. There's not one gold button."

More Bows, More Lace, More Sweet Lolita Pastel Colours.

Hate the silver shoes though.

France MPs' report backs Muslim face veil ban

"The wearing of the full veil is a challenge to our republic. This is unacceptable. We must condemn this excess"

Using a word like "excess" to describe conservative religious clothing without any sense of irony at all. I don't know why I read things like this, knowing that they will upset me.

'Oral sex' definition prompts dictionary ban in US schools

the definition in question: "oral stimulation of the genitals"

Yea, that's racy. I'm cumming in my pants right now from just those five words strung together.

While some parents have praised the move – "[it's] a prestigious dictionary that's used in the Riverside County spelling bee, but I also imagine there are words in there of concern," said Randy Freeman – others have raised concerns. "It is not such a bad thing for a kid to have the wherewithal to go and look up a word he may have even heard on the playground," father Jason Rogers told local press. "You have to draw the line somewhere. What are they going to do next, pull encyclopaedias because they list parts of the human anatomy like the penis and vagina?"

I stumbled upon this editorial from October 2001 and I just loved. I should rent some more Wong Kar-Wai films. They are so romantic...

Looklet Kim!



This is Kim, my best friend from Tofino! She likes surfing and hiking. They did not have gold pumas, so I had to substitute blue ones. She has a red check jacket with a black hood and long blonde hair. Though, I don't think she owns a Bowie tshirt, yet.

Looklet Fun!

Reem Acra Spring 2010



Good Morning Ladies,

First, aren't floral prints beautiful? I stumbled upon this collection, Reem Acra Spring 2010 and although it is old news, I think it is a gorgeous collection - please see more of it here. How feminine! How delicate and beautiful!

Secondly, I would like to draw your attention to one of my passions: Valedictions. I write a lot of emails and I am going to start to write actual letters too. My favourite part of correspondence is the Valediction. Please familiarize yourselves with the various types and share in the singular thrill that I feel in that moment when I have said everything I wish to say and I am just about to sign my name when I have a the opportunity to express my feelings in the most polite and brief yet wonderfully expressive way!

Your obt svt,

Kiki

Christina Hendricks at the Golden Globes


Christina, 34, wore a peachy champagne dress by Christian Siriano and jewels by Loree Rodkin — triple double open leaf earrings on omega posts and prong set bangles. (Read More)

For the third consecutive year, Mad Men won best drama series at the Golden Globes. I'm not sure what I want more, to be Christina Hendricks or to be with Christina Hendricks.

fancy dress party



from Calli B, from marshmallowphantom

Really like the composition of this one and the situation (ladies in a tub), if, like Vero, not a huge fan of the head dress.

Red Dresses


Atom Retro ($133.21)



Mod Cloth ($84.99 , $74.99)




Asos ($61.19 , $64.59, $37.39)



American Apparel ($30.00 , $42.00)

Veronica has stated again that she is in need of a Red Dress.
I have taken the liberty of imagining her in each of these red dresses. These are what I think would look great on her and what I like, not necessarily what her tastes would be (I think that is obvious by the number of mod shift dresses on this list). Hopefully, reader(s), you will also post red dresses available online from your favourite retailers and before too long, we can see Vero looking absolutely delicious in one of these scarlett numbers!
