happy fourth of july!

Sorry I have been missing in action longer than I anticipated. I took a nice vacation to Florida and then was hanging around. I went shopping in Florida and found some good finds and then went thrifting and found even better finds. I have also been reading some good fashion books(Fashion and Surrealism and Christian Lacroix and Fashion) so I should be making posts on them in the near future.

Anyways have a happy fourth of July. Be safe with fireworks!

Here's some patriotic fashion from past seasons.

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2008




Chanel Spring 2008




But really a denim jacket, a white dress and red espadrilles are pretty patriotic too.

Item of the Week: Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail Complexion Palette

For some reason of another I have liked collecting things that look like envelopes.
YSL already has a clutch styled in a "y-mail" way.
necklace envelopes and I especially love the YSL Y-Mail clutch.

But I adore the limited edition y-mail complexion palette. It's so tiny and cutesy. It even has a matching bag. The design of the make up itself is also interesting. More importantly besides the design the colors are available for light or dark skin. And they are flattering!
