Inspiration from the internets!
I love the internet. So much to see, so little time... all the time.
Here is what I have been loving and going back to look at again and again.

The Wilmona Dress: 3 Ways

Hello and Happy Monday!

On Instagram last week, I announced the addition of a sweater dress to the Wilmona Collection.

A couple wonderful ladies agreed to join me in styling the dress in three different ways (Lucky Mag style).
I was very surprised at how versatile this dress turned out to be and am very excited to share with you a few of the ways
The Wilmona dress can be worn.

Today, I did Talia's nails.
It was fun to (finally) be able to trim those tiny nails without having 567 distractions going on at once / having her yell "no toques!" and pulling her feet under her. It was also really cute to see her trying very hard to sit still but still squirming with excitement as her toes became "pies azules". I had her blow on them so she would stop reaching for the nail polish (thus avoiding a cobalt disaster on our rug).

Grace: A Memoir

As I mentioned in my New Year's post, I'd like to be constantly reading a good book. Reading has a way of opening my mind, and making me feel way more sophisticated than I normally am, ha.

Grace: A Memoir, is a book that I had been eyeing for a long time (ever since The September Issue, actually) and I finished a couple weeks ago.
Though it presented the fashion business in more detail than I could swallow, I really enjoyed learning about Grace and the world she lives in. She has a lovely voice/ outlook and is very much a person I'd love to meet one day.  It also has great fashion photographs and funny illustrations done by Grace herself which depict events in her life. The book has an  overall feeling of unearthing hundreds of small fragments of memories, some emotional, some strictly business. I would recommend it to anyone that loves fashion, biographies, and icons. Grace is really something.

Goodreads review and rating, if you're into that.
