Texture Rich

 

Today's texture rich inspiration. 

Bright colors, dripping gold tears, and baby shoes. Please make them in size Alana next time.

Love,

Prima Ballerina

Nothing makes me want to go back to Ballet like this Editorial. 

Ginta Lapina (who I absolutely adore) by Vincent Peters for Vogue Russia November 2011

I am so inspired by this Layout. Each shot is absolutely gorgeous.

Sharing the wealth.

Love,

Alana

THIS JUST IN:

I just got the news: I got the Venice apartment I was hoping for!!!

Here are some photos for my new home inspiration:

I was hoping to christen, and celebrate the new space by playing truth or dare, and watching 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' surrounded by boxes and friends.

Love, 

Alana

Met Costume Gala

Hilights:
Starting with the nude beauties...

 The ponytail is perfect.

Model Caroline Trentini in Michael Kors

 I cant resist a nude princess, nor can I resist Jessica Stam...

Model Jessica Stam in Tommy Hilfiger

Perfectly simple

Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney

The Darkly dressed.....

Admirably playful, but appropriate and unique as always.

Chloe Sevigny in Alexander McQueen

This is crazy, but look at those hips!

Christina Ricci in Zac Posen

GORGEOUS from the back! Simply cinematic.

Of course Anna Wintour in Chanel, 

and daughter Bee Schaffer in Balenciaga

Now my personal favorites, the brights!....

 Aaaah, I just cant get enough of this!

Brooklyn Decker in Michael Kors

Do I really need to say anything? She is an angel after all.

 Gisele Bundchen in Alexander McQueen

Oh heaven this yellow!

Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein

 Perfectly bohemian, graceful, old hollywood, colorful all in one, and still simple. Who knew it was possible?

Gorgeous Isabel Lucas in Louis Vuitton

My crown jewels are absolutely these last four listed under brights. But my best dressed would be a 3 way tie between Isabel, Zoe, and Brooklyn. Blowing my fashion mind.
Officially inspired, thank you ladies (and your wonderful stylists)! Time to go make use of this sudden inspiration. 
Enjoy!


Love, 
Alana
