Coco Rocha on ANTM All-Star Edition

Coco-Rocha-Americas-Next-Top-Model-DesignSceneNet-01
It was only a matter of time Tyra Banks was going to put some old contestants from previous ANTM cycles into one ultimate cycle given how many she's done. I think she's on 16? Crazy. But I loved this last episode where she brought in one of the best supermodels to join them in their photoshoots, Coco Rocha. Who knew one of my favorite models ever could practically do 50 poses in 30 seconds!!?? Insanity. From the looks of these photos she obviously knows what she's doing compared to these "amateurs." She looks divine, but I also got to give it up to Allison, Angelea, and Dominique for really standing out.

W Magazine showcases the best of the best resort collections from Givenchy (my fav), Celine, Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, and Balenciaga. It's all about those floral and tropical prints. I can't wait to start rocking them come spring/summer.

H&M x Versace

hmpreviewviviidversace2
Editors are really smart for using some pieces of the H&M x Versace collaboration into articles and editorial spreads in various magazines. Easy publicity for sure and strategic in many ways. It really amps people up before the official look book. I'm not a huge fan of what I've been seeing, but I am loving those tropical/palm tree printed shirts and pants. They're practically calling me name.

Music: Currently Jamming To...


Maverick Sabre - Let Me Go: If you love Amy Winehouse, you'll fall in love with her male counterpart, Maverick Sabre. That voice, that beat...


The Ting Tings - Hang It Up: They're back and I definitely have a feeling they may be appearing at next year's Coachella. After a few listens, I really enjoy how upbeat and slightly in your face this song is. I also love the video. Winter is slowly approaching, but this songs makes me yearn for summer.


Lana Del Rey - Video Games: I found about this hidden gem through my good friend, Danny and I am absolutely in love with her. She looks dynamite, but her vocals make it easy to be enamored. Her show in LA at the Troubadour sold out in less than an hour, which upset my friends and I. I hope I get to see this chic sometime, Coachella 2012?


The Cab - I Want It Bad: I've never really listened to The Cab, but this song has been on repeat for the past few days. I love a good romantic/movie type song.


Coldplay ft. Rhianna - Princess of China: Never would I have imagined this collaboration, but it actually works. This song is alright, but after listening to it a few times and Paradise, I'm really excited for their new album, Mylo Xyloto.

Sebastian Sauvé for Hercules

I love a good dapper look, but I also love Sebastian Sauve. I really liked the styling of this editorial done by fashion editor, Laura Alcade. It's all about turtlenecks, velvet, exotic loafers, geeky specs, and sans tie looks this fall. I should start experimenting with burgundy hues..

Obsession: Celine Cabas Tote

tumblr_lgi98eZCBo1qc982b
Give me a few more months and I should be able to get my hands on one of these babies. I can't help it, I research these bags everyday it's practically become an addiction. Seriously, I'm obsessed with almost everything Philo creates. I've become a Philomaniac! But seriously? Seriously?!! How chic, understated, and completly luxurious are these soft lamb leather cabas totes? From bright yellow hues, cobalt blues, maroons, taupes, and forest greens; my name is written all over this bag!! A tote for all needs and purposes!

Street Style: Taylor Tomasi Hill

taythillstyle1
Just needed my daily dose of Tay Tay's sick and effortless ability to dress so chic. Besides Olivia Palermo, the style and accessories director for US Marie Claire can definitely mix and match. I just love how bold and risky she is when it comes to dressing herself. Completely out of the box, yet always sophisticated. A true style icon in my opinion.
