mmmmm burberry

on my list of "things to own before I die" one of my more loft aspirations is to own a burberry trench coat and umbrella. obviously the umbrella is far more likely. the trench coats are an ubiquitous status symbol and the ultimate in sexy power chic. what is equally surprising to me is that the rest of their line is soft and wearable. I would love to wrap a brown belt around an adorable spring coloured onesie. mhmmm classy. here are some tidbits from the SS10 line. courtesy of in style magazine.







even celebrities cannot hold back their excitement.

Reese's perfection







it is hard not be envious of Reese Witherspoon. putting aside her bubbly demeanor, her sense of style is in my opinion almost unmatched. she oozes (yes, oozes) femininity but never in a way that would imply she is timid or to be taken advantage of. the plain shirts with printed skirts and classy accessories is a favourite look of mine. her evening dresses are so sexy without ever showing too much of anything. I am tres impressed.

back on elle street








after becoming increasingly frustrated with instyle.com and people.com I realized wait, I haven't creeped on people being creeped on by photographers on the Elle Street Chic Blog in a while. once here, I was instantly glad I visited. from Paris to New York, it is always so refreshing to see style on the streets. have fun perusing and have a fantastic weekend.

* and yes, leather jackets do play a prominent role, my lusting still hasn't subsided.

Kris Nations on my Christmas list







as I already have decided on presents for 90% of my list (and yes, this means you), I have decided to do a little me shopping. the Kris Nations line of jewelry makes my heart happy and is exactly the look I've been searching for. I love the simplicity of the nature items and the pure gold/silver looks. it makes my heart happy.

find something for yourself at Kris Nations Website. I am sure there is something for everyone.

one word- sparkle

my ultimate plan for the Christmas party season was a sparkly skirt... well 3 hours in a mall later, I came to the conclusion that I may have been a little ahead of the tide. but validation for my fashion sense came last night at the AMAs. sparkly cute dresses were had by all. and I am green with envy.

Street this







I would normally feel badly for partaking in paparazzi pictures of celebrities who for the most part show no indication of wanting the attention, but I find that celebrities usually look their most interesting like this. I am a sucker for a good jeans outfit, reasonable shoes, and large bags! I would never endorse dangerous or intrusive pap-behaviour, BUT I assume that if I wouldn't be annoyed if someone thought I looked so cute getting coffee they had to capture it in photos, then they shouldn't mind either.

Happy Weekend!!!

an evening dress perhaps?







with the advent of Christmas party season approaching at a swirling pace, I thought I would post some gorgeous gowns to get people inspired. I already know what I am getting, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to look!

monday inspirations

monday morning everyone! after a weekend of ignoring everyone and everything (oh and pining over a leather jacket), monday is here and so far it is winning. as an attempt to squeeze some joy into the beginning of the week I scoured over the instyle look of the day blog and managed to find some cute outfits for inspiration throughout the week. Enjoy!
