STYLE CRUSH: TAMU McPHERSON

Pin It Now!

This post was long over due. 

Fashion Week has arrived and I am here waistline-less dreaming

 about what I would wear if I were to ever grace the city 

during its' gilded hours. 

Thinking of all the style/girl crushes I would hope to bump into, or

share a cab with while chatting about the days and nights itinerary.

One person comes to mind when I think of documenting all the 

lovely that will be taking place. 

Tamu McPherson of All The Pretty Birds

I can't express just how much of an inspiration Tamu has been to 

the blogging world for me.

Aside from the obvious risks and leaps she takes that 

no one else dare to make from a stylistic perspective. 

She. Is. Poised.

I discovered that she is also from my home-home town of Nyack, NY.

I freaked out a bit, because if you are familiar with Nyack, you know 

it is indeed a morsel in comparison to it's surrounding cities. 

Another coincidence is that she has a son, who's name

is Pierrot, the name of my late Grandfather. 

I love witnessing the rise of the passionately working mother that

 excels in their field. 

Especially, when it is artistically driven.
I'm always amazed at the shot of her twisted and determined legs anchoring her

great style shots.

Her dare to give the fashion industry her all editorially, yet still remain so 

tangible and un-phased by what could easily jade her, makes her

a beacon and much more than a style crush.

 

I hope you all enjoy the out pouring of yesness that will 

soon dance across your screens.

Cheers to another lovely NYFW!---Kel

GIRL CRUSHIN: TRACEE ELLIS ROSS

Pin It Now!

There is still a chill in the air....

I'm feeling a little trapped and lusting for freedom of a different sort.

I've been in rare form (more on that later) and just overwhelmed with life.

When I stumble upon this photo of Tracee Ellis Ross, 

It seemed to evoke all that I was craving. 

This happiness... light weight feeling... the lips...the hair(going on a year in transition)

 

Such a beauty... 

I hope you are well and finding your bliss. 

Cheers & Bisous!

GIRL CRUSH: KELLY OSBOURNE

Pin It Now!

By now you may have seen these shots of the 

Grand Madame of Troop My Pretty Pony--- Kelly Osbourne.

Since she came back on the the scene as a style force, 
I have been giving her whispered swoons. 

I never covered her in my Girl Crushes. I am ashamed really, 
because, even through her days of causing ruckus, I still liked her style. 

Believe it or not, i was a little "darker" than I am now.

(We all are/were.)

So when The Coveteur covered her closet, a little chill of excitement 

washed over me, knowing that 

 there would definitely be two things in abundance: Chanel and Metal. 

Ding Ding Ding!!!! I was right. Head over to The Coveteur to check out the 

full post. ---Kel

GIRL CRUSH: ESTHER QUEK

Pin It Now!

 

I shouldn't even title this "Girl Crush"...

(but for the sake of consistency)

This woman's style is beyond crush level.

I've passed infatuation.

I'm talkin' 

L-O-V-E

It gives me chills. 

The impeccable tailoring...

the details

the aura

the confidence....

She is fashion.

She is what this whole industry is about...

the love of the craft and not excepting anything 

less than perfection.
