pretty pictre: elie saab spring 2011 campaign

featuring model erin wasson.  photographed by willy vanderperre.

gorgeous.

i love what joanna at fashion gone rogue says about this campaign -- "erin is the very picture of strength and elegance as she dons Saab’s contrasting designs of airy and form-fitting silhouettes" 

sooo true.

celeb style: lily allen for chanel

came across this ad while at work & flipping through a vogue from last year. i immediately ripped it up and tapped it on my filing cabinet [don't have a cork board so i gotta improvise]

like a badass holly golightly, lily allen rocks this ad ~

 [& effectively makes me want to buy that awesome quilted chanel purse!]

see the other 2 ads, as well as a cute behind the scenes pic of lily--  here
