Since everyone is talking denim...
Do you remember when everyone was crazed for low-rise flare leg? Now, it's all about the cropped style cigarette jean. I feel like J. Crew really paved the way for this style and now, it's everywhere.

I can see this being remade at home, can't you???
2 vintage necklaces, a couple of vintage brooches and voila:) A look-a-like to Erickson Beamon (also sells at Target:) on Net-a-Porter...
The Oxfords all dressed up
The 2 french braids...I think this is a must-do for me!
Just the right fit
CONFESSION: I have been wearing a 34B since the first day I put a bra on...which was a trip to Victoria's Secret with my mom and sister. Needless to say, I've never had a proper fitting or questioned whether this was the right choice...as long as my boobs looked a little bigger in a water bra, under wire, or demi cup I was good:)
Alas, since being preggers I have gone through dramatic changes from a larger cup size to a larger band size! EEK! What to do!? It all seems to hurt and I am just not loving it...I also hope that after I am done with the pregnancy I am able to use these fab new brassieres I have purchased...
In Portland, Oregon I went to a fab lingerie boutique called Oh Baby where they took me through a variety of styles that would work with my growing body.
Then, the AMAZING book, The Bra BOOK came out with so many tips that take you from all stages of your bra life:) This books is a perfect gift to a young girl starting to wear bras to someone who just can't find the best "fit" help at your local department store or Victoria's Secret.
What you get from the book:
~history
~the "science" of your bra---breaking the bra down, part by part.
~there's a bra for every occasion and find out which to use and why...
~with this tool you are now the expert...don't you hate going into a bra store/section and not knowing if the person who is helping you knows what they are talking about? Now, you don't have to worry.
Get the book and enjoy!
I've recently found some great new bra's I am in LOVE with and had to share!
Bacini is my new lingerie LOVE! I fell in love with the brand because of a top that Klo from Downtown Girls on MTV wore episode 5. I am buying this bra for comfort, but it's also has the trend elements I need with lace and the color taupe. Plus, it's ONLY $40! These are great layering pieces.

These shorts are everywhere right now...do you have them?
I feel like I keep seeing these shorts on blogs, magazines, tv but not in real life yet...is anyone rocking this style? Is it anyone's must-have? It seems like one of those trends that is going to take off and be EVERYWHERE and then disappear...I am wondering when H&M or Forever 21 will get this style too...although, this BCBG version is not a bad price at all.

look like Olivia Palermo by Anna Posch
More ways to be inspired for The City Finale show! I think I will be VERY inspired by Olivia! Too bad this isn't in English...but, you can take the visual for your tips:)
Video Diary: Rachel Roy | RACHEL Rachel Roy
I have always been inspired by Rachel Roy's style and having two daughters and doing her fashion thing!
Rachel is getting my fave flowers here, she gets threading done like me, she's on The City (one of my fave shows!) and more:)
Here are some exclusive Q&A with Rachel Roy and check out more of the "insider" videos from Rachel Roy's team on Youtube and be inspired!
Rachel Roy Q&A
What is your advice to other women looking to achieve your unique, stand out style?
Know yourself well. Have the confidence to wear what you want and wear it well. Experiment with unique colors and prints.
How do you balance life as a mother and a designer?
Balance needs to be worked on daily. Without a constant focus on what is truly important it will get lost every time.
What are your favorite RRR pieces for summer? What makes them your favorite?
I absolutely love the evil eye pendant. Evil eyes are loved for karma and the good energy they bring. The black scalloped shorts are a perfect combination of ease and sophistication. The Koala animal ring is fun, I always love a good cocktail ring. The printed flats with gold studs are comfortable, unique and so chic. I love the honeycomb scarf worn as a turban. And everyone always needs a cardi and my summer collection has so many different cardigans to choose from.
What is the main difference in designing for RRR compared to RRNY And RRS?
RRR is the younger sister to the designer brand. She’s fun and optimistic. I always look forward working on different collections as they bring new life to what I am working on.
What inspired you to start this video diary series?
I love watching documentaries and reading about people’s lives. These flip videos are the modern version of this. It’s also fun getting a look inside the lives of these unique designers.

Wait till you see this bag and shoe that you can update with a scarf or piece of fabric!
I LOVE the idea of using a designer scarf to create your dream designer bag! GENIUS!
