Sometimes there’s no need to search for the dream dress, it comes to you itself. Like this one came in a form of December Harper’s Bazaar editorial of Iman (God, she looks amazing). The Valentino gown is truly to die for but I have a feeling that Santa is not that generous so I’ll have to scratch this one off my list. Ah, a girl can dream…
The backdrop of the shoot is an even competitor with the dress. The Abandoned Beekman Palace, built in 1882, is a landmark in lower Manhattan and, rumor has it, will be restored to a glamorous hotel. It’ about time, right?! Can’t believe that such a gem has been in disrepair for over a decade since 1940s. Hope to stay there one day as the interiors are just breathtaking!
Beekman Palace has become a true internet sensation and has got nicknamed as “the most stunning atrium in NY”, it opens up to 9 stories above.

A good friend of mine is getting engaged. Can’t tell you who she is, as it is the most exciting part to break this kind of news, so I leave it up to her. All of the dress-talk this AM. totally threw me in bridal fever for the rest of the day. I LOVE weddings and wish I could have mine every year in all color pallets, themes and destinations possible. the thing is I have to stay productive with my thesis for the final couple of weeks so I’ve forbidden myself to open a single wedding-related site/blog/magazine till my finals. But how in the world this lovely dress from White House|Black Market crept in my way (officially dream wedding dress #5304).
Congratulation friend, I’m SO incredibly happy for you.

I must confess I’m absolutely smitten with ZARA’s fall/winter collection 2010. Event acquiring 2 pairs of pans and a blouse didn’t satisfy my cravings (while totally busted my monthly budget). They have exactly everything that i love about fall dress code: lots of neutrals, classic wool coats (especially in herring bone pattern…ah!) and layers…lots of layers. Layering is why fall is my favorite season. Same old cardigan can look so fresh and in season, when paired up with a silky dress and knitted stockings. Anyways, here are a FEW of my “must-haves” from ZARA.

December Vogue features one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, Angelina Jolie. May be a little troubled in the past, she seems to be a very strong and versatile personality, who never stops to amaze and captivate. What a stunning editorial by the greatest Mario Testino. It just exudes the power of femininity, no wonder it disarmed THE Pitt.

Recently I has been in a fashion mode, may be for the lack of dress up for this past Halloween. The latest DAY collection by Birger et Mikkelsen is definitely in tune with my fall feelings.
