I believe women dress for other women 95% of the time. Don’t you? There are rare occasions where we need/want/seek a male’s approval, but they’re pretty few and far between. That’s mostly because most of the men in our lives, namely love interests, aren’t quite adept at fashion or what is ‘in’ (for women) – and let’s face it do we really want them to be?

This is a wee dedication to girls everywhere that are rocking it out on the streets looking fabulous.

I have a deep affinity/admiration for Natalia Vodianova. Like to the point where I was so sad for her when I heard she was divorcing her aristocrat husband with whom she has three kids. Aside from her personal life, I always enjoy seeing her editorials. She’s undeniably lovely in this 60s-chic photo shoot.

I’ve often mentioned my fanaticism for Taylor Tomasi Hill. But one thing I cannot get over is her incredible hair color. Her colorist should be so proud.

I have a serious style crush on Miroslava Duma, a Russian freelance writer, editor at Harper’s Bazaar and mom.

Kerry Washington. The photo just doesn’t do it justice. On camera, on the Emmy stage, she looked ravishing in this Zuhair Murad ensemble.

Elvira Hancock exudes sexy with totally sleek, shiny hair, cat-eye sunglasses, slinky evening dresses & cigarettes. Michelle Pfeiffer managed to perfect the look of the beautiful & bored love interest of drug lord, Tony Montana.

I’m finally back to posting after the wedding/honeymoon extravaganza! I wanted to share a few pictures and will hopefully have much more soon!

The rehearsal dinner

The Wedding!

Our first meal on the wedding day: chili dogs

In Roma

I hadn’t thought much about it until recently, but how do I want my makeup for the wedding? I want to look like myself – just enhanced but I also want to look fab in pictures. Do you go for understated or statement? I need your help, sweet readers and friends! I won’t share my dress but I will say that it’s white, it’s not strapless and I’m wearing flowers in my hair with minimal jewelry and the hair back. Let me know what you think is most appropriate! Here I am as a point of reference ;)

1. This first picture below is the look I’m leaning toward: defined brows, winged liner, pretty lashes and a peach lip. What do you think? Do you like the slight cat eye?

2. More shadow, less lip…

3. You could go a little farther with the eyeliner for this…

4. Golder shadow and a paler lip…

5. More shadow, more makeup. I love this look but is it overly sexy?

6. A lot more shadow and liner – verging on costume vs wedding…

7. Lots of lip, lots of liner, less of everything else

8. More shadow, less liner…

9. Less liner, more lip…

10. Very Natural…

 (what i wore: shift – asos, heels – bcbg, – cuff/ring/earrings – unknown, ha)

I loved the outfit I wore yesterday. I really felt feminine and ladylike.  This is the kind of look I prefer: a shift, a huge bun, strappy shoes. I was extremely proud of my bun. Would you believe I didn’t know how to tease it this time last year? I have to share that I sent a pic of my hair to Erika Bearman (OscarPRGirl) and she tweeted back “it’s major” totally made my day…
