STAND OUT STATEMENT
This is what I’m talking about! These shoes are killer. This chic normally has a great understated look to her, but I love how she really stood out in these shoes. Love those Louboutins!
CLASSICO
Probably my favorite hairstyle is the classic “Chignon”. “The word ‘chignon’ comes from the French phrase “chignon du cou,” which means nape of the neck.” It’s been popularized across the globe from Ancient Greece to Ancient China. Wikipedia. Word. I can hear the NBC PSA now, the more you know…

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

HOME INSPIRATIONS
So my never-ending ideas for my home continue to pervade my everyday thoughts and actions. Whatever it was that inspired cavemen to first illustrate their human lives on walls, clay figures, and other surroundings, is a part of me I guess. I’m constantly imagining and re-imagining my world around me.
The first two photos (one is Elie Saab’s home) resemble my style and apartment the most. The final photo (Brooke Shield’s famous spread in Architectural Digest Magazine) is my inspiration. How to combine these 3 ideas into my space without overdoing it. Without taking away from each element in my space, but rather, complementing them and tying them together.
I’d love to have that incredible Zuber Wallpaper, but I’m thinking of using a similar scenic backdrop to my walls without spending a million dollars for it by hand-painting it myself. Bad idea?
ABOUT TIME: LIU WEN
It was, in other words, hardly fated that a girl from China’s pig country would go on to become, as Liu has, the first Asian model to be the global face of Estée Lauder, the first Chinese model to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway and one of the most booked Asian runway models in the world.
ELVIS PICKS TODAY
Here’s a couple of things on my mind today, Summer. Thank you for clearing the skies a bit today here in NYC; I was getting sick of all that rain! But now that it’s cleared up a little, I feel like so has my mind. Ok now beautiful blue skies, do your magic!

LIGHT THE NIGHT WHITE
I have two items on my mind right now, a leather jacket and oh-so-flowy-glowy white pants from Zara. Head-to-toe white is a bold look that’s white hot right now (I’ve been saying this forever guys!) but it’s such an elegant, vintage glam feel that you can pull off. Mix up the textures in the gear. I like it best when only one piece is oversized.
And don’t forget to paint the kissers RED.
MCA PASS THE MIC
If you can feel what I’m feeling then it’s a musical masterpiece
But if you can hear what I’m dealing with then that’s cool at least
What’s running through my mind comes through in my walk
True feelings are shown from the way that I talk
And this is me, y’all-I M.C.,
Y’all my name is M.C.A. and I still do what I please
And now I’d like to introduce
I’ll pass the mic to D. for a fist full of truth
CELINE VAN AMSTEL BY STEFANO VITI FOR FASHION GONE ROGUE
This is undoubtedly some of the most inspiring photos for this season. Slicked back hair, strong and structured, yet airy apparel.
LOOK OF THE MOMENT
How does she do it? She always manages to look so elegant and effortless in her wardrobe choices. Plain-faced with bold nails, Paltrow’s got it.
I will always remember the pleasure I had meeting her for that big night out last year. She is more beautiful up-close people.
