J.Mendel's spring show was very fun, the dresses were silky and sheer. The cream color of these dresses above are complimented perfectly with the colorful tangerine shoes.

Grace Kelly

The sunglasses, the coat, the pearl bracelets, this picture shows how Grace Kelly really knew how to dress well. She always chose simplicity over opulence, and dressing like a lady over dressing sexy.

Provence

This week was the official start of summer. And while many dream of lazy days on the beach, I am waiting till I one day own a house in Provence and can spend my days bike ridding, walking near the lavender fields, shopping for fresh bread in the markets and spending time with the one who shares this dream with me.
Mademoiselle Magazine Covers

As much as I love magazines, I aspire to work for one one day, I cannot help but admit that magazine covers are not what they used to be. These illustrated Mademoiselle covers are so pretty, much better than a photograph of a movie star or musician.
Charlotte Olympia Sandals

While Charlotte Olympia is known for towering heels, I find these Marina flats sandals the best pair in her current collection. The flat shoe is perfect for being comfortable this summer, but looks much less casual than the average sandal. Even better? They are currently on sale, get them while you can.
Hermes Kelly Wicker Handbag

Straw or wicker bags can sometimes result into sloppy totes that only look suitable for the beach, but this Hermes Kelly wicker bag is the perfect summer bag. This handbag is structured and clean looking but has the traditional summer fabric trimmed with tan leather. Overall a handbag one could carry summer after summer.

Christian Lacroix has not made women's clothes since his Fall 2009 Couture Show due to the company's bankruptcy. He has done furniture and menswear but until recently no womenswear. He is not designing lingerie and swimwear in collaboration with French lingerie house Lejaby.

These stunning "Thunderbolt" rings by Pomellato feature a variety of colored stones such as amethyst, blue topaz, garnet and more. All stones are cut unevenly giving each rinig a sense of individuality structured in white gold with white diamonds highlighting the colored stone.
Zac Posen Resort Collection

While decidedly more dark than most of the resort collections this season, Zac Posen's collection will easily last past this summer and into fall and winter. There are soft whites and pale blues for summer and striking navys and scarlets for fall and winter. As for the gowns shown above, they provide classic glamour in the form of one of fall's future trends, the mermaid gown.

Book Review: Parisian Chic
Image: habituallychic
I recently finished Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de la Fressange. It was a good read, but very fast and makes me wonder if it was worth the money. The style section had good advice especially if someone is looking to completely reboot their style and need to start with the basics. The beauty section was interesting, but a lot of it applied to older women which does not apply to me. A lot of the book was travel advice so I plan to save this book for when I eventually visit Paris. Overall you can trust the fashion advice and will most likely enjoy this book.
Reem Acra Resort Collection

The Reem Acra Resort collection had many beautiful gowns to choose from, but my favorite were the elegant nude colored ones. Made of layers of tulle, satin, and enhanced with intricate beading made this my favorite resort collection so far.

Sheer Dress

I think this dress is stunning, the way it glows in the light is so beautiful. I don't know how wearable it is when seen in person, but it is lovely to look at.
Blake Lively 60's Style

This Glamour magazine spread featuring Blake Lively photographed by Terry Tsiolis, is another display of sixties style clothing. I think the whole spread is pretty, clean, and wearable. I especially love the make-up and the hair, which the magazine has advice on how to copy.
