i’ve always admired style icon iris apfel, but it wasn’t until watching her today show interview yesterday that i fell in love with this adorably sweet woman. aside from the fact that she takes up modeling in her spare time, she’s just like any other soft spoken woman of 90. iris prides herself on ’embracing the authenticity of aging’ and made a statement of herself this past january when she became the face of mac cosmetics launching a collection of bird-inspired bold lipsticks which flew off the shelves. we should all take a page out of iris’s book and become ‘our own beauty icon’.

‘if you’re lucky enough to get old, you should celebrate it’…and that she sure does. those glasses. i die!

if we’re casting our votes, mine goes to kristen wiig. obviously michelle williams knocked it out the park by all means, but if i were headed to the oscars per say, this look is something i’d totally rock. although i’d probably ask j mendel for the black version. some may call it boring, but i think there’s something sexy about her  effortless beauty. who cares what the fashion police say, this confident look is hot! blonde, your vote…

a closer look inside our bags: black

you wanna know what’s inside this girls bag? uo convertible knit gloves for easy access typing on the train and keeping warm on the walk through town. aveda hand relief to make sure those cold, dry hands are hydrated. a fun patterned marimekko umbrella in case the sky opens up. a baggu for those unexpected shopping trips before heading home. a moleskin pocket notebook and lots of ultra fine point sharpies just in case. burt’s bees beeswax lip balm cause i’m addicted to the peppermint oil. an adorable fossil key-per frame coin purse that’s perfect for small girlie stuff, gifted by my blonde counterpart of course. and last but not least, my beloved orla kiely big zip wallet that i don’t think i’ll ever part with!

wear to wall
i swore the words would never come out of my mouth, but i think i’m currently loving me some pink. that is, an intense saturated pink. there’s something surprisingly quirky about the contrast created with a rich red that has me intrigued. from fashion to print, the trend seems to have taken way. my wheels are spinning for a graphic interpretation of my own.
