Spring into Seychelles

I recently moved to windy Chicago after living in sunny Los Angeles and let me tell you, the weather change is pretty drastic! It's been snowing here all week long, but I'm looking forward to warmer weather. It almost seems like winter will never end here as I've heard from the locals that it's cold here through April, but luckily I'm taking a break from the snow and venturing back out to Los Angeles & Palm Springs in a month. 

With summer weddings and Coachella ahead, I'm already looking for inspiration for some warm weather outfits. Here's what I'm inspired by right now!

Photography Spotlight: Parker Fitzgerald

We stumbled upon someone truly special as we were combing through Pinterest today. His name is Parker Fitzgerald and his specialty is breathing life into photographs. Instead of telling you how to feel about the divine and talented hybrid photographer and graphic designer, we would much rather show you. 


Parker Fitzgerald you are a genius with a camera.

Ode to Loulou.

Today we pay tribute to the original muse of haute couture, Loulou de la Falaise. She died November 5th in her home in France, after a year long battle with cancer.  She was 64 and much too young.

Loulou was a fashion pioneer, she challenged the normal standard for women's wear and became the muse and closest confidante of Yves Saint Laurent. She was the first person to inject the Paris collections with bursts of jewelry and solidified the importance of hand crafted baubles as an integral part of each season's collection. She worked for the design house for three decades and will forever be remembered as the inspiration and force behind both YSL and her own label Loulou de la Falaise.

Inspired By?

Mondays are hard and sometimes you need a little pick me up to get the week started. We were in the mood for creating a small dose of inspiration and decided it was good enough to share. 

What would you put on your inspiration board? What starts your day off right?
