Saturday Special - Pixie Mood, Vegan Handbag Designer

Do you need a new handbag, wallet, passport holder, or wristlet for the upcoming season but don't wear (or can't afford) real leather? Then Pixie Mood is what you're looking for! Designer Chloe Ho avoids using real leather because she and her company love animals and do not support wearing their skins. Although the bags are made from vegan leather, they don't sacrifice style. If you love the look of real leather, you will love these products.

Chloe is inspired by color and whimsy, and creates products that are fun and fashionable- but completely affordable! Every piece is priced at under $50.00. 

Take a look at some of my favorite Pixie Mood products. Just looking at the rainbow of colors and fashionable styles will surely lift your spirits. Owning one of these will brighten your day every time you wear it!

The Steph Bag




The lovely people at Pixie Mood were kind enough to send me the Steph Bag in beige and it has become my new everyday carry-all! It looks like a satchel, but it isn't as structured as you would expect a satchel to be. The pliable material molds to your body and to the contents you're carrying. Look forward to more pictures of me wearing my bag in this outfit and in another more casual outfit on Wednesday!

The Vanessa Pouch

The Disco Long Wallet

The Queenie Cross-body Bag
Pixie Mood products are extremely versatile, a characteristic important to many of us who have busy lives. Although they are playful and whimsical, perfect for a young free-spirited person- every piece can be styled into a professional woman's wardrobe. Many of the long wallets and passport holders can double their wear-ability and be used as clutches. And the bags that come with straps can be worn cross-body or on the shoulder.

The Present Short Wallet

The Vicky Passport Holder

Preview of the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Collection
The new collection incorporates the darker, moodier colors that compliment the fall and winter seasons to come and the outfits we will be wearing throughout these seasons. We see some sparkly bags, ideal for a girly-girl- and we see some satchels, perfect for a busy business-woman.

I know that many of you will now love Pixie Mood as much as I do. Head over to the website and pick out a new bag, while supporting the use of cruelty-free products. Which piece is your favorite?

Celeb Saturday- Celebrities on the Streets

I know that everyone adores and is inspired by real-girl street style. Seeing how others put together interesting admire-worthy outfits to wear every day is inspiring.  So for this Celeb Saturday I put together a collection of my favorite street style photographs, but this time the girls on the streets are celebrities!

Even though these fashionable celebrities are far from being "real girls", they still have errands to run and lunch dates to attend.  And it's interesting and inspiring to see the outfits they put together to wear doing the same activities we do.  

This summer we're seeing the most fashionable female celebs wearing flowing skirts and short-shorts in bright colors or head-to-toe chic neutrals. They're loving a bright-colored bag and are paying special attention to their stop-you-in-your-tracks footwear. My favorite outfits belong to Miranda Kerr and Whitney Port in pastel brights

Enjoy!

Miranda Kerr

Olivia Palermo

Emmy Rossum

Selena Gomez

Blake Lively

 Ashley Tisdale

Whitney Port

Miley Cyrus

Lauren Conrad

Vanessa Hudgens

Ashley Benson

Although Miranda Kerr and Whitney Port wore my favorite street-chic looks, Selena Gomez is looking sexy in her short-shorts and Miley Cyrus looks edgy yet relaxed in her head-to-toe printed ensemble.  Which look are you loving the most?

Celeb Saturday-Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel has a style aesthetic that none of the other celebrities in Hollywood showcase.  That's why I love her and why I've chosen her and her style to spotlight this Celeb Saturday. Deschanel's clothing choices have a distinctly vintage vibe, mixed touches of girly and quirky. She stays true to that signature personal style whether she's on the streets, shooting a magazine spread, making an advertisement, or posing on the red carpet. She's almost always seen wearing black tights and a severe bang. And her attitude is always cute and fun- never an ounce of diva in that face! 

I've gathered some of my favorite Zooey fashions from 2008-the present.  
Admire:

Allure 2012

Nylon 2008

Street Style
I love shorts with tights-it looks casual but polished. This is my favorite Zooey street-style moment.

Street Style

In Prada at the Golden Globes, 2012

Street Style

In Lisa Lo at "So you Think you Can Dance" 200th Episode Party, 2012
Purple is my favorite color and Zooey looks beautiful in this plum structural dress worn with her signature black tights and red lip. This is my favorite Zooey red-carpet moment.

Cotton Ad, 2011

Marie Claire 2012
This photograph is beyond beautiful. Somehow Zooey still emits her signature style vibe while looking glamorous in a black-and-white editorial spread. This is my favorite Zooey magazine/advertisement picture.

Street Style

Pantene Ad, 2012

In Oscar de la Renta at the Critic's Choice TV Awards, 2012

Zooey Deschanel's style is vintage, quirky, and girly; and I find her style inspirational because it's so different from the styles of her peers. I bet she's shopped at a thrift store or two!
Which Zooey look is your favorite?

Celeb Saturday - Terry Richardson

I'm a big fan of celebrity photography, and a big fan of Terry Richardson's easy, often backgroundless photographs that just show the beauty of celebrities and just let them play with the camera. As a fan of Andy Warhol, I just love looking at people, and the rawness of the camera: that's why I'm spotlighting Terry's Diary and some of his great photos for Celeb Saturday!


So, as I was paging through Terry's photographs, I noticed these great shots from a recent trip to Japan with Lady Gaga, and fell in love! Look at the amazing fashion and from the trip and the amazing shots Terry got of Gaga!
