Roberto Cavalli -- Glamour Mag Hungary [via dress, design, & decor]

I can't explain why I'm obsessed with these (and I know S$ would adore them) -- I surely can't wear them in NO.. but they feel very NYC to me.  [words, a blog]

When I get my body on point.. I'm getting a cutout dress like this.  Adore.

It's somewhat of a hodgepodge.. but this is what I'm digging lately from my tumblr feed.

Tips from Coachella: Daytime Festival Attire

Wish I was there -- but I did catch some of the amazing performances online.  I'm definitely attending some quality local daytime concerts/festivals.. so I'm going to take the inspiration from a few styles seen at Coachella.

Kate B's style is always on point.

 Love these sandals.

Favs from the Oscars.

Admittedly, I did not watch the Oscars (gasp. I know.)  However, I did catch up on all the gorgeous dresses on my blogs this morning.  These two are my favorite gowns (and actresses).

Betty.

She's so absolutely gorgeous, and has amazing style.  Adore her. [Le Blog de Betty]

Brazillian Style

I miss Brazil. A lot. I spent 6 weeks there in college volunteering and fell in love with it. Everyone there is so laid back and friendly, the food is amazing, and the drinks were divine. I had the best time, learned a lot, and met great people all while working in the medical field which will soon become my whole life.

The Sartorialist has recently been snapping some great style shots of people in Brazil (specifically Rio, not where I was, but we did travel there), and I adore these looks. It is the essence of the women in Rio -- bright colors and not afraid to show some skin. Just plain gorgeous. Here are my favorites of their latest piece:

Hey Pretty Lady with the High Heels On..

I don't care how tall I am -- I am obsessed with wearing heels lately (well.. not to work). Every since I was introduced to truly high heels (Thank you S$).. I can't stop buying them.

And I'm loving these simple yet stunning winter heels below:

Appropriate "Winter" Gear

Now since I'm moving to much warmer temperatures soon, it's got me thinking a little about what is still appropriate to wear for everyday in the winter season. Being from the Carolinas, there are some days when we'll have a fluke beautiful 65 degree day smack dab in the middle of the coldest month of the year. If you didn't prepare for it, you're sweating by lunch if you have any outside walking to do. Layering is perfect for these kind of days.

Then there are the people that forget that its still January and take this opportunity to sport their summerwear, with no regard to the season. Flip flops and shorts have no place in the winter season, I don't care who you are. (Unless you're vacationing in the tropics, there's no excuse.)

So what are we supposed to do in the Deep South? I do absolutely love the fall b/c it's the time when it's cool enough to wear tights, but not so cold that you have to wear your long johns under your jeans (50 is too chilly for me, keep in mind).

I'm going to take the following inspiration with me down to NoLa. It's cool in the winter, but not cold. Tights, layers -- all season long. And even if there are really hot days, closed toes shoes are a necessity (at least for the price of a pedicure alone. Getting them year around? Please. I can barely feed myself.)

Any other ideas for these warm winter days?
