Life is a circus, live it

For the thirteenth issue of Lula magazine things get quite magical with the help of beautiful model, Rasa Zukauskaite. Giffords Circus, shot by Ellen von Unwerth posed Zukauskaite in an open field with cotton candy, flying swords, flaming batons, bears, doves and carnies. Click on the link below for a sneak peak...

Giffords Circus

This has to be one of my favorite shoots by far and of course Rasa makes it look so effortlessly chic. Another reason to look forward to Spring 2012! Rolling around in an open field with carnies while the sun is shining?! Nothing sounds better than that! Here's to another amazing week. Keep it Golden. :-)

Dreaming of pastels

Since the cold weather has FINALLY arrived I can start thinking about Spring 2012! It's hard not to look towards all of the amazing new collections that will soon be available (yay! can't wait! so excited!). I've been huge into accessories lately because there are just so many fabulous pieces out there soooooo here are a few items I am getting pretty damn excited about! And they just so happen to have the perfect color combination of what Spring should be!

PASTELS!!! 

YSL & Rochas Spring 2012

Reed Krakoff & Tory Burch Spring 2012

Rag and Bone & Marni Spring 2012

Jil Sander & Marni Spring 2012

These are the colors I think of when Spring comes around. Such a feeling of Summer and the perfect start to warmer weather and sundresses, and swimsuits, and lounging by the pool with a watermelon mojito...yummmm!! Getting so excited for Spring already I can hardly wait! Keep it Golden.

Bows, frills and everything sparkly

Looking into the future of 2012 here are some of my favorite accessories and outfits from the Resort Collections of Miu Miu, Prada and Dior.  Bringing back more lace and glitter Prada and Miu Miu have some amazing jewelry that I am in LOVE with (hence the bows and LOTS of sparkle). Dior has their gorgeous dresses as usual with large bows, dropped waistlines and flowing silhouettes with a touch of glitter and glam.

Gotta love all things shiny and sparkly! I know I do! Keep it Golden. 

Follow the light

Such amazing things are happening and I can't hold it in!! Feeling bubbly more often than usual and it feels so good.  Staying positive and following the light towards bigger and better things.  Life couldn't be any better...

Keep it Golden! xoxo

Fall essentials

Even though it's 80 degrees here I'm still looking forward to wearing my fave Fall items when the cold weather decides to finally find us.  I love being nice and cozy (like I'm laying next to a fireplace, snuggled up with a good book and hot cocoa. The BEST!) so layers, layers, layers are definitely a MUST.  Here's a small list of a few items that can be mixed and matched with any outfit to make it more Fall-esque...

Leather Jacket

Can't live without one!

Keep it short...

Pairing tights with knit shorts or short skirts and booties are a personal fave of mine! 

Or go long...

A maxi (sheer or not) with an over sized sweater = perfection.

Which leads me to...

SWEATERS!!!! You can never have enough! Since I'm a total cuddle bunny the bigger the better. You can belt it, wear it solo, wear it alone...pair it with skirts, shorts, tights, dresses. Anything is possible with large comfy knit sweaters :-)

Of course if you add the correct accessories (hats, scarves, gloves, blazers, lots and lots of jewelry, handbags and of course shoes) that's pretty much all you need for Fall. Done son!!! So many ways to incorporate your own style with the millions of options out there! What is your favorite Fall item? Outfit? 

Keep it Golden my loves!

Nakedness + Guitar = Sexified Goodness

Oh yea, I said it!  Adam Levine paired with real life girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna look so good together they could be the next David & Victoria Beckham, aka. hottest couple. Dressed in the likes of Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, YSL and the occasional Fender make it even more worth while! These sexy pictures from their Russian Vogue shoot will explain it all...

Stunning. Keep it Golden!

Serenity at last

Now that Halloween has passed I think we can all cozy up and take a breather! I've been in a collaging sort of mood lately full of my many inspirations, but overall due to one of the BEST websites ever...pinterest. Literally a website dedicated to posting amazing photography of just about anything. It's incredibly addictive. Trust me. On that note, I'm feeling like I should be laying in bed all day but since that's out of the question this will have to do...

Keep it Golden!
