Indluge

I. Love. This. Image. from the MAC Indulge ad.  The way the model is styled, the gold turban, blue sequins, and the sweets on the table, all speak to exactly what I am looking for in my 2013 fashion profile.  The issue?  Ironically, the make-up -- which is totally unwearable.  There are so many cool, retro, Edie Sedgwick-y ways MAC could have used to better showcase their color palette.... I get that it's editorial.... maybe they are only marketing to far out make-up artists with that unflattering yellow eye shadow.....  The rest, however, totally speaks to me.

Cara and the Mulberry Owls

Cara Delvingine's large eyes and bird-like features make her a perfect member of the Mulberry parliament. Cara is featured extensively in September's 902 page Fall Fashion Vogue but these ads are my favorites

New fall flats from Dior. The round bauble is at once quirky and expected enough to be wearable.

24k Lux Tech

I'll be honest, seeing all the top models flashing their 24k edition iPhones on their blogs has made me mad jelly. As a lover of luxury and general nerd-ary I needed to see more.  My fav is the blinged out Wii.  *Drooooooool*

In a gilded cage

This season's shoes by Dolce & Gabbana might actually prove that I have, in fact, died and gone to heaven.  Just when I think I can not possibly love fashion any more and nothing can possibly be new under the sun, some creative genius says: Poof! Birdcage shoes.  I can just imagine a tiny carnelian colored canary singing inside.... Très jolie, D&G.
