Ankle Strap Flats

Ever since I saw a pair of Bellofatto black ballet flats with an ankle strap, I regret not getting them.  Love this look for summer, especially the nude colour.  What do you think?

I ouldn't find the Bellofatto online, but here's a similar look by

Gabriella Rocha, $79.99 (Endless)



Belle by Sigerson Morrison $250 (Saks Fifth Avenue)



Chloe $475 (Totokaelo)

Seychelles

By now we know that Kate and Wills are honeymooning on the island of Seychelles (East of Africa), in the secluded private resort of Fregate Island Private.  Aaah-maaah-zing!

What a dream place...and at $4000 per night, it should be, right? (Images via Expedia)



But for a mere $1500 at The Maia Luxury Resort & Spa in Mahe, Seychelles, you can get an Ocean View Villa with Private Pool and Personal Butler for 24hrs.  Sign me up!  I think I much prefer the Maia Luxury Resort and it's thatched roofs.    Stunning! (Images via Leading Hotels of the World)

To Bang or not to Bang?

Rachel Bilson (such a cutie!) has regretted getting bangs saying they're "‘Too Much Maintenance!".  Totally true especially if they don't fall perfectly on your face.  I think she looks better without then anyway, what do you think?  I'm always tempted to get them again, but I hate the growing out stage.  Are you YAY or NAY on bangs?

J Brand

I have a pair of J Brand jeans; they do fit well, but not as well as Ginnifer here, rocking a pair of J Brand 910s in Pure ($159, ShopBop). She looks so good, doesn't she? Have you seen her in Something Borrowed, yet? I was wondering if she wore a wig in that film since her hair is short, and turns out it may be!

Paris Fashion

Now that the sun is finally shining, here's some inspiration from our summer in Paris. From the impeccable suits and bright colours to what I wore (flowery summer dress, oxfords and straw hat that we got at a flea market) while shopping (I scored a pair of Prada shoes!) in Paris. What's your go-to outfit for a hot summer's day? (All images photohogger)

I've used the following brow pencils in the past, but was wondering if there's anything you'd recommend instead?

One Shoulder

What do you think of the off-the shoulder or one shoulder trend?  Is it something you'd wear? 

I would, if I knew I could trust the one-shouldered bra!

BOOyonce!

At the Costume Institute's "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Beyonce and Jay-Z were booed for not stopping to pose for the paparazzi.

You'd think she would have practiced climbing up stairs before wearing something so tight. 

What do you think of Beyonce's dress? 



 And here's the video. Those paps can be so rude.
