Style Icon: Victoria Beckham

Okay, you probably already know this but Victoria Beckham is the most amazing woman in the world. First off, she has a super hot husband.  Her kids are adorable.  She never smiles but is actually really funny and cute.




She ALWAYS wears heels because flat shoes are for quitters, and she has never been caught looking less than fabulous. Victoria Beckham is literally the chicest person on the face of the Earth.

Women Who've Shaped History: Anne Bancroft

Mrs. Robinson has seduced me.

Last night, due to caffeine and chronic insomnia, I could not fall asleep.  This happens way too frequently so I've developed a system: Instead of sleeping, I watch old movies.  And often that movie is 'The Graduate' because it's amazing and I love Simon & Garfunkel and it makes me cry.

As you all know Anne Bancroft plays Mrs. Robinson and while I hate her character, I am captivated by the beautiful and iconic woman that is Anne Bancroft.

Let's talk about the cover of the film.  It's HER LEGS.  She is so amazingly gorgeous and alluring that a coming-of-age tale wherein she is not even the object of his affection features her legs on the cover of the movie.



Anne Bancroft is seared into everyone's heads as the epitome of sex appeal and sophistication.

She made popular leopard print, pencil skirts with silky tops, and conservative nude suits.  And she didn't just dress this way in the movie.  She LIVED THIS LIFESTYLE.  She married Mel Brooks.  That is a f-cking party.  She had money and class and the life that every Jackie and Audrey wannabe yearned for.  And she rocked it.

So here's to you, Mrs. Robinson










Obsessed: Jennifer Lawrence for Dior

Preface: JLaw and I have a rocky past.  I hate 'The Hunger Games' books and movies and I didn't really want anything to do with her.  Plus I kind of thought she was not super cute.
But now, after 'Silver Linings Playbook' and lots of adorable interviews where she's silly and ridiculous and embarrassing herself, I'm pretty sold on her.  PLUS this happened (while in Dior):





ANYWAY Dior magazine puts out two issues a year.  Jennifer Lawrence is the star of the Fall/Winter issue of the magazine.

Photographer Mikael Jansson captured 'The Hunger Games' star and Oscar nominee JLaw in menswear and minimal make-up.  And wow, is it working.
