Model of the Moment

Ginta Lapina is my model of the moment. She's just the cutest thing but can strike a fierce pose. Ginta has walked in shows for many notable designers in the Milan, Paris, London, and New York fashion weeks including Anna Sui, Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, Vivienne Westwood, Miu Miu, Yves Saint Laurent, Carolina Herrera, Bottega Veneta, Versace, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton. She's come a long way since Latvia.

Hermes Vans?

So apparently, if you're VIP you can have custom Vans made. Stylist Robert Verdi got the shoe company to customize his sneakers using some of his old Hermès silk scarves. Oh the trials and tribulations of a fashion commoner like myself....woe is me.

Freja Beha Erichsen

 I just adore this shoot from the May issue of Interview featuring Valentino’s dreamy, romantic pieces. Freja Beha Erichsen, who happens to be one of my fav models, wears designs from the Fall 2011 collection styled by Karl Templer.
