Beyond Beautiful


Model: Lee Hye Jung (MC2)~Editorial: Blooming Garden~Photographer: You Hyung Won
Hair: Kim Seung Won ~Make-up: Kim Ji Hyun

This is why I feel tapped into the Universe.  This is everything I have been talking about, more like obsessing over, the last few weeks. 
Asian models...we need more.  Gingers!  Love a good natural, but a dyed red is just as delicious.  Gorgeous Fall layers...those plaid 50s inspired skirts are killing it!  I really don't think there is anything more beautiful on a female.  The scene is everything I  have been dreaming about...frolicking in the crisp autumn air, picking apples in an orchard...sipping on some hard cider...uh. 
I cannot get enough of this Vogue Korea spread...it's beyond.

Want!

Zipped
Anyone got 290 bucks burnin a hole in your pocket? I would like to look like the 4th musketeer by Thanksgiving...you think I'm joking...
C'mon!? Anyone? Anyone?
Well if your not gonna get them for me, will you at least buy them for yourself and walk past me so you can slip on my drool?  Then I can steal them off you while you're slippin and slide'n tryin to get back up? 
Yeah I get jealous like that.

The Buzz

This is what I am calling the black and yellow color palette that I have been seeing a little of these days but I think it will definitely be popping off sooner than later! Take note!
caution.

There is no other way than VINTAGE, in my opinion, when it comes to upgrading your style so heres a few items with the same color trend that you can get on the cheap!

Typography Tuesday with a twist?

While compiling all my fav finds for the week I realized there was a focus more on graphic design rather than type, they go hand in hand so I'm just gonna let it fly this time.  Also I changed it from "Typeface Tuesday" To "Typography Tuesday"... I saw someone else had the first title as a weekly post as well, so I figured I better change it up...it's all about being original right?  But hey at least I somewhat kept my commitment from last week!  I think I'm growing up guys!

I think I will always love a good graphic tee.  There is just something about them that screams, "Hey! Look at me and admire how smart and funny I am!"  Isn't that what we all want? 
The peeps over at nonfictiontees have this down to a science, literally, and have created a line of super witty and extra comfy looking tees that are sure to impress!  You'll see what I'm talkin' about...go there NOW!

The title ain't lyin

This is pretty awesome.

I never thought about summing up my life in a sentence.  It's actually a lot harder than you would think.  After watching this video my mind went to a few "Be a good person/Love life" types of descriptions but I quickly realized that I can't just want my life to be an all encompassing, vague, good feeling.  It needs to be specific and truly personal and an absolute real reflection of Me and my actions.  It looks like I got some work to do.

More Pics! A Must Click!!

To get to the top of the world, Petra Franklin Lahaie ushers her two young daughters and their girly bikes through a set of heavy bronze doors, greets the 24-hour elevator operator in the Prussian blue uniform, rides up 35 stories past mostly vacant office suites, debarks next to an observation deck and Chinese-themed banquet room, passes through a portal marked “private residence,” climbs two stories into a neo-gothic pyramid and enters a penthouse apartment.

Seriously? Amazing.

Because I have been feelin the witch vibes this Fall...

I actually feel like I already have a coven, we just don't wear fabulous matching hats.
cilloran:warbucks:(via glitteristhewaytogo, ellaboulevard)(via feedmeguilt)
I have been getting the urge to wear big girl make-up and to me this means LIPSTICK!   Dark red? Yes.  Mac's newest line features one of the most Venomous Villains in the enchanted forest...Maleficent. And girl has exactly the look I am going for!
 Venomous Villains Lipstick

Black Cloak 
I posted about these Lindsey Thornburg cloaks awhile back, obviously I am still a little obsessed. 
*Not at all animal friendly...my bad...it's just way too rad.

 I bought into the leggings craze and have never really looked back, I've had my eye out for some stir-ups but have yet to find anything I really dig, believe me stir-ups are gonna make a comeback!  They were cute 15 yrs ago and will be even cuter now, especially paired with these fab high heel booties!
It's all about the statement rings! Ya know for that finger flair while I'm casting spells:)
 Thank you 7th grade Me for saving all your chunky sterling silver!  Good lookin out!

Witch look complete.

>>>>Font Forward>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  

I am thinking of making a weekly post called "Typeface Tuesday".  It will be filled with hot fonts and other type inspired goodness.  It's not for sure yet, I don't really like commitment, but I am really into the graphic boldness of a good letter so I am pretty stoked on the idea.  I guess we will have to see next week if I decide to follow through...until then enjoy the typolicious images below!

It's decided...

I'm gonna have to have a few homes because everyday I come across another kitchen/dining area that is an absolute must!  This will be one of my apartments...
A girl can dream right?

If only mittens were functional...



I have always liked the idea of a good mitten...so comfy, sooo cozy.  BUT then the harsh reality sets in...oh I gotta open a door, take off glove....oh I need to answer my cell phone, take off glove...oh the temperature of my hands are unusually high and my whole body is starting to sweat, take off gloves.  Way more trouble than it's worth. 
These are cute though.

I am really digging this simple outdoor space.  I love the casual and unpretentious feel to this whole look.  It's design that isn't trying too hard and really taking advantage of the natural beauty of the area.  But the thing that is really doin it for me is the picture on the wall.  It has never entered my mind, not even for a second, to hang a print outside, this may be because I live in the Pacific Northwest and it really wouldn't mesh well, but this is just blowing my mind and leading it in all kinds of directions for outdoor decor!  Love it!

 Also I just noticed my last two posts were pictures found on the Tumblr designaddictmom...it's a fabulous blog where the inspiration is non stop!!  If you like interior design or just general hotness you NEED to be following her!
