My Favorite Frames

I try to give my eyes a break; which means even if most days I'm wearing contacts I spend my evenings with glasses on. My two go to frames right now are both by Bonlook: Dolled Up in black and the Socialite frame. If it wasn't so bright outside I'd probably wear them full-time more often. Worn with my typical makeup routine and Lime Crime lipstick in Centrifuschia.

Sugar Pavilions


Alexandra Grecco's tulle skirts are the stuff dreams are made of--they're so full and floaty like a pretty pastel confectionery. When Alexandra offer me one to style I replied with an immediate yes and visions of ballet-inspired outfits started dancing in my head. Not every little girl dreams of growing up to be a ballerina, but I must confess to be one of the many females who danced briefly when she was younger and still holds a fondness for the tutus. At first I thought about pairing the skirt with a black bodysuit and ballet flats, but then I decided to play up the soft grey color with a matching sweater which also suits our early spring weather better than a lighter layer. The setting sun caught the outer layers of tulle giving them a beautiful peachy tone which complimented my other accessories in the best way. Anyway, I'm quite over the moon about this perfect little skirt and I can't wait to wear it again and again this spring and summer.

Do Not Disturb


I'd definitely start collecting "Do Not Disturb" signs if they all looked as interesting as these ones. I'm quite sad that we're no longer in such a beautiful golden era of packaging--everything nowadays is minimalistic or covered in warning labels. Once even old match boxes were worth collecting, but I'm hard pressed to think of a modern, cheap equivalent... via

Architectonic Angelus


Artist and architect Federico Babina imagines modern buildings if artists designed them. The question becomes not what would homes look like if artists built them, but would you want to live in one of these? I'm quite partial towards the Salvador Dali building--it looks like a rooted flying saucer.
