Houndstooth, primary colored stripes, Hawaiian prints, and lets throw in some bows for good measure. Stella McCartney's Spring 2012 Resort collection is a perfect example of how you can combined prints from different families and it can still work. It's all about balance and proportions of prints. I'm not such a huge fan of the Hawaiian prints (hence no photos of it) but here are some of my favorite looks. Enjoy!

I wouldn't say I'm a car buff, in fact I'm pretty far from it. I couldn't tell you the difference between one maker from another other than I prefer the shape of this one more than that one. But anyhow, I do quite like vintage cars and despite me not knowing all the proper terminology, I can certainly appreciate their appearance.

My vintage dream car is the Fiat 1200 Spyder which is known for it's cuteness. Seriously, it's so damn cute. I want to ride around town in one with a scarf in my hair.

So, you may or may not know, but I've moved into a new studio (last Thursday) and while it's been super fun getting the apartment set up, I must say moving from a 1900 sq. ft apartment to a 450 sq. ft studio that has to double as my living and work quarters... well I'm sure you can imagine what it looks like. (Haha!)

There have been countless fashion editorials inspired by Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker in the 1968 film "Bonnie & Clyde" with Warren Beatty, but honestly, nothing beats the original. I love her wardrobe in the entire film, especially the first cream colored dress she wears when she runs out of the house to meet Clyde. It's a definite vintage movie must see, and if you're into the story of Bonnie + Clyde, I recommend reading more about them on Biography.com

Faye Dunaway Vintage Style Fashion Icon

Faye Dunaway has one of those gorgeous chameleon faces. She can look different but still always look like herself all at the same time. Kind of like Kate Moss, one moment she's girl next door pretty the next moment a total bombshell.

"I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was." - Faye Dunaway

I was never one of those brave kids that could just dive into a pool. I always had to stick a foot in, test the waters, let my feet get used to the temperature, then I'd wade in up to my knees, begin the temperature regulation process again... but a couple weeks ago I surprised myself by diving right into a pool. A small little victory, but worth noting.


It's my last days in our current apartment, nearly everything is packed away, tomorrow is the first move date and the day after everything for the new AV studio is getting transported to the new location. I'm nervous and excited. It's odd that I'm moving less than a mile away but yet it feels like a giant leap in life. People, places, things are always changing. Change is a good thing, it means we're living.

Deep breaths. Finalizing the packing up this evening. Tomorrow getting the keys! Thursday, moving truck!
