All I want for Christmas

All i want for Christmas is:

I love these imprint necklaces that THEBEAUTYMARK is giving away! I would absolutely get a "R" for my baby boy! I have wanted one of these necklaces for a long time! But most of them are way too expensive! Hope I get it!

Also hope I get:

The Cat

Leopard is back in full frontal force. This is obviously a trend that comes and goes every couple seasons. This morning while getting ready for work, I spotted the Kardashian sisters on the Today show:

Each with their own leopard accents. 

 LOVE KOURTNEY'S TIGHTS!

I have a love/hate relationship with the cat. I love it as an accent, not an abusive habit.

1st Style Icon Award

Oh man, I think we can all agree that Nicole Richie has graduated from celebu-trash to absolute perfection. I cannot miss an article with her speaking. The way she speaks about fashion and the role it lets you play as a person lifts my spirits. She is so hippie chic. I picture her life being completely free and loose but her days scheduled and always surrounded by amazing colors and fabrics. I picture her home who she shares with boyfried Joel Madden very late 60's early 70's....But still with a modern rocker vibe. Cant you just see the scarves and beads..... Her style reminds me of pure Kate Hudson in Almost Famous. I dreamed many a time of having the life of Miss Penny Lane....but that is a whole nother story.
For now, I live through Nicole's website and magazine articles..."sigh". Which bring me an abundance of inspiration I thought that I shall share with all of you:
(haha I say all of you as if theres really any of you, HILAR!!)

Working in her studio on her lines Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960.

I want my home and space to be completely original, but I love her interpretation of vintage rugs. Something I plan on using in my upcoming new home.

Nicole says she thanks her own mother and Keith Richards for her Style. I found this humble and unique.

Nicole has completely transforemed herself into a respected designer and style Icon, for this she is Hippie Modern's very first STYLE ICON.

Keep up the good work Nicole!! Luvs YA!

Inspiration Friday

One of my favorite websites I go to on a daily basis is TheSkinnyWebsite. Don't get the wrong idea, I do not go to this site because I am obsessed with weight of celebrities or even celebrities in general. (They are the reason the American culture is not more involved in the direction of their country-But that is another story) the main reason I go to this site is because there is some great examples of individual style. Confession: I have even been scared to try certain looks, but then when I have seen said look on a living and breathing person, I muster up more courage to try it myself. Sad? YES!

Here are some of my favorite looks from this site:

Believe me this is just the tip of the iceberg! It really is a great site for fashion inspiration!

Shorts with Tights

Shorts with tights are sprouting up all over the place. I LOVE this look for fall. If Nicole does it, i will do it!

I love HER!

The NEW Military

Military inspired looks are everywhere this season. This is not your older sister's military.

These looks are much more Victorian and British inspired, me likey!

Socks with Heels

SOCKS with HEELS:

 

 

Personally I love this look! I never thought I could or would ever say this but Socks with heels are super cute. Granted, you must have the right texture of sock, I think the look is girlie and fun! What do YOU think?
