Kellan Lutz for GQ Style Australia

gqkellutz2
I should seriously think about turning my fashion/life blog into a Kellan Lutz fan page. I honestly cannot help but feel addicted and giddy every time I see his hunky face... and body. Despite his lack-lusting talent as an actor, he's definitely a pretty face... and again, body. I think he just needs to live his life shirtless until he starts wrinkling. Just sayin. gqkellutz gqkellutz1

Taylor Tomasi Hill for Barney's New York

taythb1
My favorite red head and Marie Claire's style and accessories director, Tay Tay Tomasi Hill joined my favorite retailer, Barneys New York in a little mix and match to fall tutorial. From the looks she pulled for her friend and current fashion editor Amanda Hearst, she really put together some great looks; eclectic and very Taylor in my opinion. What's great about Taylor is that she does eclecticism so well it looks effortless and always current. I admire her style like many because she's so out of the box and so editorial when she's out on the streets during fashion week. Ugh I would die to shop with TT Hill at Barneys. For more of Taylor's Barney Must Haves for this fall season, click here.

Brazilian Babes: Elle Brazil

bellecover1
Having one Brazilian supermodel can be pretty exhausting given their incredible beauty and banging bod, but having four is another story. Elle Brazil has not one, but four of Brazil's most recognized supermodels covering their issues including Isabeli Fontana, Izabel Goulart, Ana Beatriz Barros and Renata Kuerten. Pure sex in my opinion. Love it. bellecover2

I can't wait to start investing in some great outerwear pieces this fall. The fall collections have been flooding the department stores lately and I also can't wait to search high and low for the perfect coat, leather jacket, and sweater (s). gneffgq2 gneffgq3 gneffgq4 gneffgq5

Zara: US Online Shopping

Screen shot 2011-09-06 at 6.18.09 PM
FINALLY! Zara has finally allowed the US to shop online and what's even better is that they are offering FREE shipping to all 50 states!! Starting September 7th (aka tomorrow), Zara will be launching it's e-commerce website to all those in the US and will include mens, women, and kids. Zara's online store will be carrying all pieces in-stores as well as exclusives. Shopping in Santa Barbara is pretty tough, so having access to shop at Zara without having to drive over to Topanga Canyon or LA is beyond exciting. Zara's pieces are of great quality and are available at a fraction of the price high-end retailers may market similar clothes of quality for, so it's such a bargain. Plus, Zara is always up with the latest trends of both the runway and on the street. My sister and I are avid shoppers, so I can't wait to see what she picks up as her first online purchase!

Photo Diary: Lake Tahoe

IMG_0480
An impromptu trip to Tahoe with my best friends was definitely needed this past Labor Day weekend. I was able to soak up a ton of sun, party, hike around Emerald Bay, shake my ass, and catch up with my friends. The weather was so beautiful and the air was so crisp you couldn't help but go out and do something whether it was tanning, swimming, kayaking, hiking, or anything else that involved the great outdoors. I cannot wait to be back during the winter season when it's all white, snowy & cold. I definitely need to dust off my board and visit the slopes next season!

The Kooples

I really wish I shopped at The Kooples when I was in Paris last summer. I love their downtown street aesthetics. Great basics, great quality. I've noticed that my personal style has gotten more simple with a focus on quality. I'm learning at SAKS how important quality is despite the heavy price tag. Basics in great fabrics and cuts are great investments, so heres to NOT shopping at low quality retailers (IE: Hanes T-Shirts)!
