Webazine Spotlight: Playing Fashion

Playing Fashion Online Magazine is a new obsession for me! Caroline Buist and Sophie Dillon modeled for Playing Fashion Summer 2010 and it was photographed by Nicole Maria Winkler and styled by Emily Rajch. This shoot kills me! It reminds me so much of Liza and I just running around being nuts together. I am completely falling in love with Nicole's photography and Emily's styling... way to go out of the box... finally! This issue in particular featured British designers, so these girls are decked in Alice Palmer, Rachel Freire, and Mary Benson. The rest of their garms... well I would need a translator, but I don't really care cause it all looks incredible. I'd take it all any day of the week! Take a peek! Hope you're all well!

SO precious.

Might be my favorite shot.

Grunge chillin'.

Second favorite shot. I adore everything about this.

Yes, please. All of it.

The kitty! The outfit! It's perfection!

A homeless pirate in a sick dress. I live for it.

I love that they shot these pics with nothing but wet raggedy hair and tight top knot buns. Genius.

"The bad kids."

Love.

These rings are unreal. You would need a new word for "knuckle ring" with these on.

My Wish List... At Least For Today.

La Garconne has it's dry spells as most of us fashion cult members know. Sometimes they have a load come in that makes us want to drop dead because our checking accounts just aren't quiiiiite big enough. Other times it's easy on the heart because the pieces on their site sit and sit and ultimately become stale to our eyes. Well, now it is one of those times where I'd like to go walk out into a forest, find a money tree, and shake it. The site has ex-paaaah-loded with adorable pieces this week. So with that being said, here is my wish list for what I would like to have on my body... TODAY! Plus some yummies from Net-A-Porter and Forward Forward

ACNE. In love with this little blouse. Timeless. Must have.

The collar tie can be buttoned up as shown or it can hang down. Gorgeous.

Love the tuxedo back. L.o.v.e.

Vanessa Bruno Tricot Cashmere and Wool Jacket. Perfect for fall cold nights. I am obsessed with the cut and color of this piece. I would get a ton of wear out of this.

House of Holland Lace Shorts. A fun and easy throw on.

LANVIN

It's $1250. It's tiny.., I would only fit a lipstick, a phone, and a credit card in this thing!! Agh, it's hard to justify. Then again, I would take it with me every time I went out for a quick bite or drink... guhhhhhh.... can ya tell that I am trying to make it seem like a rational purchase? I just love it sooo much!

See by Chloe Wedge Clog. Done deal. Easy. Cute like the Rachel Comey ones I posted earlier. I want tons of these. So darling. I've been a tad irritated at how clogs have been played out as a trend, but I want to carry them through the fall paired with lightweight open billowing blouses, houndstooth shorts, tights and/or knee highs, and a cute preppy pea coat. That way I freshen the trend up a bit cause I am not quite ready to let it go yet. ;)

Adore the leather wrapping around the back. Killer.

Designer Spotlight: Karla Spetic

Comfy cardigans, innocent four year old prints, fabulous dresses with geometric cuts? Um, yes... Those are basically my three go to's when looking for basics for myself. I have more oversized cashmere and cable knit sweaters than I can fit in my closet... and I wear them all!! Always searching for more to add to my collection too. Well, Australian designer Karla Spetic's A/W 2010 collection is utter perfection to me. I could completely snag each of these pieces below. I really adore how she gets away with these silly prints while keeping her silhouettes modern. I like to dress girly sometimes, but keeping the silhouette and cut a little on the edgier side is definitely preferable and she nails it here on these dresses and overcoats. New obsession for me for sure! Love love love this collection. :) Off to more of my lazy Saturday night in with John. Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!

Both. on. me. now. Aggghhhhhhh! Cardigan dress? What? Yes! And what is this on the right? I wish I had multiple views, but I want it anyway. Now!

Can't handle this. I just can't. The shorts... the blazer... So darling. It takes someone pretty daring to roll around in that. Ugh, I love it.

The coat on the right. Stunning. I would live in that. The dry cleaning bill would be steep. Haha... but oh so worth it!

Love her split colored cards and the swing dress. So sweet.

Cable knit skirt. Killer. I would lose the scarf, but I love the skirt.

The dress on the right is such an amazing use of fabric.

Tomboy in orange. Yes, please.

Shhhh... Don't Tell!

These photos of Mary-Kate and Ashley are just TOO cute. XO, Liza

Fashion Journal Spotlight: Dossier

I adore this site dossierjournal.com and I adore this shoot of Daria at home in her loft in NYC. I have seen snaps from this shoot by photographer Cass Bird floating around for a while, but I had yet to locate all of them until now. Dossier's online journal is a total webazine, full on with a blog of their own, style section, looks, and editions. Hope you're all having a good Wednesday. My weekend starts.... NOW! Hoooray! Off to call Lize and have a long gossip session. ;)

Loooove this. Love the lighting. Love the hair in the face. Love how Cass Bird left it dark. She's a genius.

This is me.

I have some insane draw to this pic. I don't know what it is. I feel like Vogue and Elle a lot of times do these "Mommy issues" or whatever where they have these new celeb mom's dressed in Givenchy ball gown slicing tomatoes and I'm like "Yeah right?!?! They'd be in American Apparel for that!!" But this photo is authentic. Daria seems genuine in the way she is hunched over in the dress and the hat. I just love it. 

No words. Too cute.

Love the grain in this shot.

Again, love the hair.

I want those pajamas. Now.

Looks oddly comfortable to me.

Blogger Spotlight: Christeric

So I am always up for finding awesome blogs, so I can check them everyday with my other regulars. I think my new favorite though is Christeric. Christine from Los Angeles has killer killer style. I love how she combines designer with vintage and totally gives off that effortless grunge feel. With a mane of bed head hair and tons of amazing jewelry, this girl is one to watch. Check out her blog at Christeric.com. XO, Liza

Cropped leopard top and Alexander Wang sunnies. LOVE.

Are those the Rachel Comey shoes I spy?

Adore this look.

LANVIN T-Shirt Dress

I am beyond obsessed with the simplicity of this Lanvin T-Shirt Dress. Alber Elbaz kills it every time. I swear he is an alien. The Balmain aviators are bad ass too. Simple, yet totally effective. I have a feeling they are about to get reaaaally played out everywhere, but for now I have a big crush. As for everything else, I would like to load on a bunch of gold accessories with the white dress and go with my staple Chanel nail colour. Easy and clean. Now onto our handbag and shoes. I am loooooooving Marni's new muted pink handbag that just popped up. $1400... I might need it. Miu is killing 60's mod this season as we are all aware of and these shoes are beyond darling and innocent looking... but then the sky high heel gives it that modern day edge. I'm definitely into it. Miu Miu is the front runner for me this season second to Balenciaga. Without a doubt. Well I'm off to bed early with John and the kittens. Hope you are all having a great Saturday!
