Traveling LV Style

Behold the art of packing, Louis Vuitton style. This chic demonstration for folding, rolling, and packing up your things for a quick summer getaway greatly appeals to my highly-organized  (read: highly dorky) Virgo mind. And oh, such beautiful things to buy! Sigh. If this isn't aspirational living, I don't know what is.

The Girl With the Owl Tattoo

I am not a tattoo person. I've never entertained even for a second the idea of getting my skin permanently inked. It's just not my thing. But if it were my thing, I would be all over this owl tattoo. Seriously. I'd bring this very photo with me to the tattoo parlor and say, "This. I want this."

J'adore Clemence Poesy

I have a serious girl crush on this woman. Clemence Poesy has that cool, effortless, not-trying-too-hard-but-all-the-while-still-looking-chic aesthetic (read: very French) that I dig. Note to self: take a leaf out of her book.

Style Icon: Lovely Rita

When I came across this picture of Rita, grandmother of fellow blogger Katie (she of the adorable the NEO-traditionalist blog), my mouth dropped to the floor. How beautiful and impeccably stylish is she? If I turn out half as chic and accomplished as Rita when I grow up, I would be very happy indeed.
