Tag, You’re It!

I love the topic of trends, especially “it” bags, because trying to figure out exactly where they come from is always so interesting to me. When trends typically came from the runway, “it” bags were made “it” bags because they were worn by a certain celebrity…and now things have moved in a bit of a different direction thanks to the handy dandy Internet. And today, we’re going to talk about it…all of it.

Currently Obsessing Over: Miroslava Duma

I’ve always been intrigued by former Harper’s Bazaar Russia editor Miroslava Duma. I’ve seen her street style photos all over the internet, mostly in the past year or so. But after seeing her in person a few times outside Lincoln Center for the Spring ’12 shows, my obsession was taken to another level. Not only is she stunning but her style just keeps getting better and better. Plus I told her I love her dress (in the orange number below) and she was really sweet about it…she just seems really appreciative of people liking her style, which I think is awesome.

Miroslava is not afraid to take a risk, and she definitely loves color. My kind of girl!

Currently Channeling: Margherita Missoni

In honor of my latest purchase, a vintage Missoni dress, I wanted to dedicate a blog post to the heiress and face of the brand, Margherita Missoni (who also happens to be one of my style icons). Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she can pull off just about anything and everything she wears. Only Margherita could wear a floor-length dress and her signature Missoni headband (sporting it “hippie-style” of course) to a black-tie event…and get away with it. She has such a sweet and refreshing face that I just can’t help but think, “why aren’t we friends yet Margherita?”
