KARLIE KLOSS X LACHLAN BAILEY

I picked up the March issue of Vogue Paris yesterday and I am beyooonnd obsessed with this editorial. It is the best thing ever. Ever. EVER. Karlie Kloss is bringing some Comme des Garçons x Peter Pan realness right here. Karlie Kloss by Lachlan Bailey, styled by Géraldine Saglio.

DOUTZEN KROES X VOGUE PARIS

Do you see what I see? Doutzen Kroes making bolo ties happen in a big way in this month's Vogue Paris, proving I'm such a #trendybish I can't even deal. Emmanuelle Alt's styling is completely engrossing and at its twisted tomboy best - her references are so layered, but never costumey! And Kroes is bringing what can only be termed, "Luxe Gaucho swagger," beautifully captured by that most dynamic of photography duos, Inez and Vinoodh - of course! See the full editorial on The Fashion Spot.

DEAR INTERNET No. 18

Feeling inspired to share...this look from The Locals. Now that winter is seemingly gone - it at least feels that way - I have to share this amazing look before it becomes totally irrelevant. Such perfection!

You may remember I blogged about designer Mark D. Sikes' incredible California home as featured in House Beautiful, and lately I've been turning to his Tumblr-esque blog for inspiration/Pinterest fodder. These dining rooms are super formal, but have an exuberant glamour that I think would translate well in any home.

I have finally really started searching for and finding a lot of great photography on Flickr. This is just a taste, a pretty/moody picture of flowers...a metaphor for my online awakening of sorts? Be on the lookout for some intense foto-bombage in the near future.

One of my favorite blog finds of late is Shiggersonstreet by Dustin Hanke. I have no idea what the name means, but I love Dustin's edgy, androgynous style (and awesome hair). Damn, those are some tight pants!

And finally, Inez and Vinoodh released a video complement to their stunning Vogue Paris editorial I blogged about here. Check it out above, or click here to view it in full quality at the Vogue website.

JUST A THOUGHT

This month's French Vogue is the first Alt-ified issue I've purchased - isn't that crazy? I can't believe it's been a year since she took over from Carine Roitfeld, but more than that I can't believe it's taken me so long to pick up a copy. The collections look amazing on Daria, styled by Alt, Joe McKenna and Melanie Ward and shot by Inez and Vinoodh - totally exuberant and glamorous. Also, VP just relaunched their website and it's basically a super sexy blog - so shiny! so fashiony!

On another note, my flowers from last week's makeover post died, as flowers are wont to do, and I had the idea to cut the head off one of the roses and put it in water in my little ikat bowl from Anthropologie. It's quite cute, no? And a great way to recycle!
