Connie Lim's Playing Cards

I stumbled upon these fashion playing cards while visiting Connie Lim's website. They're fabulous and I want them! They'd of course be kept in the box like my fabulous Christian Dior Barbie but I could at least say I have them. My birthday is quickly approaching so they'd make a nice gift.

Happy Fathers Day

Although my father has never been much of a dad to me I can still appreciate a good day when I see one. I think my best friend Anton is one of the best father's that I ever met! His son Aden is soooooo handsome. I'm so proud that Anton has grown into such a great man and is an even better father. Happy Fathers Day to you. Here are some pics of some celeb father's with the kiddos!

Violet Hearts Resort Collections

While sitting here bored out of my mind I decided to see what was new with the resort collections and I must say that I was very impressed. I love the resort collections because they're so fun! Oftentimes you can mix and match the pieces and still come out with an amazing look. Some of my favorite collections right now are Diane von furstenberg, Hanii Y, Tory Burch and Z Spoke. I would have to say Z Spoke is my absolute favorite right now!

Celebrity Kids: Willow Smith

Much has been said about Willow Smith and her sense of style, people think she’s too young to wear those types of clothes, she shouldn’t try to look like Rihanna, and she should have a full head of hair. Well I say, damn what the people think. I think she’s fly. Her sense of style is better than most adults. I love her hair. Why can’t people just let her be? Until she shows up on the red carpet with stripper heels and a barely there mini skirt, people should just let her be a kid.

Models on the Move: Alla Kostromicheva

Named as a rising star and top 10 newcomers by Style.com and Models.com 24 year old Ukrainian model Alla Kostrmicheva is well on her way to supermodel status. Kostromicheva walked in New York Fashion Week for the first time 2009 and booked designers such as Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang and Donna Karen. Since then Kostromiec has been featured in Numero Magazine, V, British, Russian and Italian Vogue to name a few. I say Watch Out World, Here She Comes!

See Through Pants: Do You Dare?

Looks like a new trend popping up is see through pants . Refinery29 took notice of this trend and it is spreading like a wild fire. Designers such as DVF, Valentino and Alexander Wang had the trend in their collections for the 2010/2011 season. Sheer shirts are one thing because you can easily put a cami underneath but see through pants will probably leave you looking and feeling like a gypsy. Unless you’re in New York City where anything goes, I say save the look for the beach! That’s my opinion, what about you? Do you dare?
