"Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. To stay with that shakiness - to stay with a broken heart, with a rumbling stomach, with the feeling of hopelessness and wanting to get revenge - that is the path of true awakening. Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic - this is the spiritual path."

Model of the Moment

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Voted "Most likely to become a supermodel" in highschool, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley proved them right as one of the world's most effortlessly seductive Supermodels.  Known best for her work as one of Victoria's Secret Angels she is now replacing Megan Fox in the mega hit Blockbuster film, Transformers III.  No acting experience is needed when your this gorgeous-Transformers Director, Michael Bay, couldn't have chosen a better girl. 

Rosie was discovered by Profile Modeling Managment while looking for interships around London.  Since her career made it's debut, in New York, in 2004 she has appeared in Elle Girl, Teen Vogue and graced the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Vogue UK, GQ and other high fashion magazines. She has been seen in ads for high end designers and brand names such as: Abercrombie & Fitch; Bloomingdale's; Clinique; DKNY; French Connection; L.A.M.B; Pepe Jeans, Shiatzy Chen; Ralph Lauren and Top Shop among others.  In 2008 Rosie appeared as the face of Burberry's Autum/Winter collection and has since claimed to fame as one of the worlds sexiest Supermodels along side Giselle Bundchen, Miranda Kerr, Karolina Kurkova and Adrianna Lima, not to mention being named the 'new Kate Moss' by the British media.

Not only is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley completly alluring with her, out of this world, perfectly toned physic but she is no stranger to the world of fashion.  Her style is impeccable and, believe it or not, before modeling she initially wanted to work in fashion, behind the scenes.  There is no denying that the girl knows how to put an outfit together! It's no wonder she recieved the Elle Style award for Model of the Year and placed 6th in Harper Bazaar's Best Dressed list for 2008.  You can get a peek into her wardrobe on Vogue UK's Today I'm Wearing blog; Rosie is certianly not an advocate for PETA as she rocks out her fabulous Louis Vuitton fur gilet and many other vintage fur pieces, but her style is undeniably filled with confidence and glamour. I must say that I love every one of her outfits, casual or fancy!!

Her name may be a mouth full but she lives up to it

with her sexy intrigue and Voluptuous lips. Major girl crush!

If the shoe fits...

I had a great and productive day at work today. There wasn't enough shoes to cover the whole wall with heels so I had to compromise and use my creativity to merchindise the shoe wall. I know it's kind of hard to see because I had to take the picture very fast with my phone before any customers walked past (as you can see they already started tearing apart the sandals on the wall). If I would have pushed the lower table to the left more, you could see the bigger table better. This section is kind of split into two themes/sections;the upper table has a more boutique-ish look; the sequined oxford shoes that are hanging on a fixture, on the lower table, is blocking the view-sorry! The wall part of this section is very summery, dedicated to sandals and beach type totes. Again, you can't really see the wall but on the bottom right there are baskets, laid on their sides, filled with canvas shoes. Inbetween them is an off white tote.

Closet Diaries

Today I wore a black harem pant jumpsuit from Forever 21 with a black, wrap around, leather belt from The Limited and bright yellow Meron wedges from Target. I  kept my jewlery simple with gold hoop earrings.  The harem pants have such a strong silhouette already that if I added more accessories it would be too much and ruin my outfit. Sometimes less is more!

Oh, and before I go, I wanted to share my excitment that 

Style Me Famous has made it to it's 100th post! Yay

Happy 100th Post to me!!

Closet Diaries- SATC2

I know this is a little late but my quarter is in it's final weeks so I've been focusing on studying for exams and getting my projects completed, after all, school comes first!

Back to the point of Fashion and Sex and the City. This time last week I was seated at the movie theater with my friends waiting for my favorite New York City girls to start struttin' their stuff.  Of course I LOVED it, in fact I can't wait to go see it again.  My friends and I dressed up- beacuse, well, why not?!- and I was so excited to see all the ladies in their fabulous outfits but, to my suprise, there were very few that even put makeup on let alone throw on a dress.  At least I wasn't disappointed with the movie, a 2 hour fashion show; every outfit change was a thrill of it's own. Patricia Field is a god's sent; she knows her fashion and can, without a doubt, put an amazing outfit together. I was blown away with the fashion and there is now a book on what they wore in SATC2 (pictured above)...I want it so bad!

I wore a very sexy little black velvet dress from H&M (very Carrie!) with a layered vintage silver chain necklace, my "Krysta" necklace. As for my shoes I wore a pair of fabulous blue suede pumps from Forever 21. A simple, chic outfit that was perfect for a night out with the girls.

United Nude's new Block heel

New! ABOVE Magazine

Beauty will Save the World

"We are committed to promoting an art of living that improves the environment without depriving daily life of its intrinsic pleasures. Our contributors are among the world’s great photographers and writers, who freely showcase here the splendours of a vanishing world and remind us of the immediate, vital, need to safeguard what remains of it."

So I was at Barnes & Noble, getting my fashion fix, when I came across ABOVE Magazine and, I have to say, I fell in love with it!!!!!  It's new kind magazine for the environmentally conscious, fashion lovers, and everyone else who is interested in the future by using fashion, art, photography, architecture, and design to help narrow our focus, and raise awareness, on the need to preserve nature and the endangered beauty of the world.  It's filled with pages of, what I can only describe as, heaven! The fact that there is a magazine dedicated to improving the environment, without depriving our daily lives of its intrinsic pleasures, keeps my heart in the right place and mind at ease; There are people out there that care about the earth, just like I do. I literally was in my own little world reading this magazine. Before I left the book store I quickly, and secretly, whipped out my phone and snapped a picture because I just HAD to share it with you; it's absolutely fabulous, the epitome of the future and without a doubt, my new favorite magazine. Trust me, if you love fashion and are committed to helping the Earth and saving your future you have to go check it out!
