Coral Crops

Who doesn't love Kate Middleton? She has such a likability about her that we all adore, plus a wicked sense of style. Here she is this spring showing off her version of the Coral Crop Jeans.
Find a Similar Version HERE for much less than the retail price. 
Also use CODE: SummerColor to take an extra $10 off the already bargin price. 

Opting for a brighter hue? Grab yourself some bright orange, found over at J. Crew. 

Editor Favs: Giorgio Armani

Thumbing  through my summer issue of ALLURE magazine. I was falling in love easily with some of Summer 2012's hottest hues. My favorite for the week is the new launch of Ecailles by Giorgio Armani. 
If you are looking for an alternative to summer neutrals try this explosive color combo.
Brush the sea-foam onto your lids, the emerald into your crease, trace your lashes with the indigo and lastly dust on the white at your inner corners.
 This bold combination will get you attention in all the right ways.

Where did all the Supermodels Go?

Growing up I was a magazine junkie. That fact has not changed for me. However, as my coveted monthly issues arrive, I see month after month another actress, singer, songwriter... a non-model on the cover. Am I the only one who remembers when models were SUPER? Or does that just make me look old? Either way, being a model was a big deal! Young, gawky and awkward women everywhere {totally me} wanted to be them. I used to read up on super model stats like I was reading an issue of TeenBeat. They were amazing, talented and beautiful woman! The were the beauty idols of the 90's...So where did they all go? 
They can't all be selling skincare on QVC can they?

 Part of the "in" crowd of the 90's... Check out those short locks and slicked back hair.
 Niki Taylor was IT for me. I loved her and every shot she was ever in.
 Cindy... seriously the most beautiful woman on earth.
Gisele, the reining SUPER model, and literally about the only one still in existence.
On a side tangent... who has a baby and then still looks like this... really...
{channeling Seth Meyers on SNL}
 Another Classic 90's shot. The epitome of beauty. 
I used to have this exact shot of Cindy saved in a binder as a young girl. 
My modeling coach called it "Inspiration". 
I called it," My stark realization that I would never be her". 
Even still, these woman inspired us all to dream bigger than we were. I know I did.

Fashion Star: Kara Laricks

Were you as in love with Fashion Star as I was? From the very beginning I was drawn to the aesthetic of  Season 1 winner Kara Laricks. I loved her easy, unique style, and her ability to week after week come out ahead. My only suggestion for next season, more time focused on the actual construction and design process. I appreciate Project Runway for the detail they put into showing the actual garment from start to finish. Fashion Star really lacked that. 
However, as a store buyer myself it was great to see the process of others. 
What was your opinion? 

 Kara Laricks for SAKS
Kara Laricks for H&M

Kara Laricks for MACY'S.
