I'm a sucker for colorful tights

I've always been a sucker for colorful tights. Unfortunately, I thought they were for preschool children and didn't really own any until they became so hot a season of two ago. Then yesterday, I found two beautiful pairs, a blue one and a fushia one, that soon ended up in my shopping bag. I was just concerned that they were over, until this morning. I was browsing fashion blogs and came across this:
You probably don't need any more explanations, but I'll just say this pic comes from the GOOP newsletter and it kinda suggests that fushia tights are in - I like that and I'm gonna stick to that.

On my wishlist: a cool laptop skin

I bought a pink laptop a few days ago! But I'm not throwing the old one (black) away, and if you want a laptop to look great, you don't have to buy it pink - just buy a skin!

Well, easier said than done, when the choice is soo big!

Rugs by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

I don't always get Mary-Kate and Ashley's design aesthetics, but I love the colorful rugs they have recently designed.

On my wishlist: some emo stuff

I'm not emo. It's the palette, the music notes (as graphical elements) and how sweet the little cupcakes look. I just found a store with emo stuff I'd be glad to have.

Pretty in leggins

Three pictures of great looks with leggins this morning.

The first one is a picture of Emma Watson in an outfit focused on leggins - that's my favourite way of wearing them, though it's hard for that look to be flattering.

This is a street style picture form The Sartorialist. Here, the leggins just add a bit of length to the outfit and you barely notice them - very well put-together.

Another leggins-based outfit. I think you have to be a model to look good in that shape and black to look good in those colors - but that girl does look great.

I just came across a really cool on-line shop with accessories made of candy wrappers and stuff like that. Let's take a look:






You can get all that stuff (and more) at nahuiollin.com.

Fall color palette

Fashion blogs are into Spring 2009 already. Well, I'm way behind. For two reasons. First, I wanted to make most of my summer holidays and I just came back from Spain a few days ago, so up to this point I was Summer 2008. And second, I'm interested in what to wear now and not about foreseeing. So, fall has begun, Fashion Tribes had a post about the Spring 2009 Color Palette, so I decided to check out the autumn one, and here it is:

I love it. Vibrant colors but not too vibrant. Lots of colors to choose from - the world won't stick to the only right one.

Now, time to check the closet, remind myself what I've got there and start creating awesome autumn looks.

Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester - not only she geats to wear great stuff on Gossip Girl, but in real life too! Very inspirational for a sewing session.
