I think this last picture is of twin sisters. But don't you love how the friends seem to be almost matching in the pictures. It is so funny to see how we are most inspired by the people closest to us! Plus this is just another excuse to show some more Parisian Style! Oh, how I miss Paris! Thanks for reading, follow if you like : )

Parisian Chic Street Style

I love how almost every Parisian woman seems to look like she has this perfectly imperfect artistic flare incorporated into her every day look!

A Parisian woman knows the power of the classic basics that will never go out of style...enter the leather jacket! And I love that her look is relatively clean, but the shirt has a tear. I wonder if her tear has a story, like, "Yah I was at a Rolling Stones concert and was crowd surfing when the band members saw me and brought me on stage. It wasnt until I was backstage that I realized I had tore my shirt. This little tear is a wonderful memory for me." Ahhh, how I like to day dream!!!

Parisian women know how to work with color, they know it is a weapon and are not afraid to use it!!! Love the pop of red and how it completely transforms her basic ensemble! And again enters the leather jacket! LOVE!

Play on fabric! Love her look!

Powerful lines, strong black color! Parisian woman seem to know that they can take on the world any time they want to!  I love how these pants meet her boots!

Effortlessly Chic! They look at the camera as if they are saying, "What this old thing? I dress like this all the time! Its really no big deal!"

Effortless hair, effortless make up. And her jewelry on her hand looks crazy amazing. Yet, she still has an effortless air about her!

I absolutely LOVE this womans style, so much so that I believe I have already posted this picture in my blog before, but I dont care, her style is perfection!!! Love the hair, love the jacket, love the shoes!!! LOVE!

Paris is such an inspiring place for me and the woman are one of the main reasons. They know how to keep the basics amazing enough so that anything else becomes just perfect icing on the pastrie! (get it, not cake but pastrie?!?!) Im a dork I know : )

Shenani-Sunday, Behind the Fashion Seams

Hello my readers, followers, fellow bloggers, and random visitors that have dropped by to say Hello on this lovely Sunday! I wanted to have a more runway inspired entry today. I find fashion runway shows fascinating! Just the culture of it all. And so, here are some pictures of what goes on behind the scenes before the runway beats drop, before the lights go on and the celebrities have taken their seats in the front row, some seemingly peaceful moments among the craziness before the production begins. I hope you can find inspiration for your own daily strut, whether you are on the runway, or just on your way to work. I hope you get to enjoy the journey and feel great about yourself along the way!

Shenani-Sunday!

Hello my followers and readers from around the world. I hope this finds you happy and healthy today! I wanted to theme today's Shenani-entry for a trend that has been very hot and cold through many years, but that can be timeless in my opinion when done correctly. Why? Because it just happens to be in vogue at the moment: WHITE... White lace, white hair, white shoes (especially after labor day), the perfect white tee, white jeans, white dresses, shall I go on? I think not... I will just explore this trend with pictures to help make your Sunday a little more beautiful and filled with lovely fashion. Thank you for your support, it means the world to me! Have a lovely Sunday!

Almost the entire Givency collection has a white color pallet, with pops of neon for an almost textural color effect. I cant get enough of this collection! photo courtesy of: stylediggers.com

Emma Watson

Emma has made a major fashion upgrade in this last year or two and I think that attention should be paid!!! The girl is not afraid to take risks. Enter pixie hair cut! When she did it, it seemed everyone had an opinion, but she seemed to remain very comfortable in her decision. And I have to admit that I think it looks best now, where it is grown out just a little. There is a sweet and yet kind of punk rock vibe to her look at the same time. I love the juxtaposition in her fashion sense. And loving the tan skin and brown hair with the grey coloring, very now!
Rock it girl! You look lovely!

Shenani-Sunday!

Hello Followers! I hope this finds you lovely, healthy and happy on this amazing Sunday! I wanted to take a moment to discuss my blog credo as I think it may possibly be a very unique approach to fashion. My focus is to inspire fashion, and to attempt to be fashion as much as I can while at the same time letting the judgement of it all fade into the darkness a little bit. It is mostly in regards to judgement that I would like this blog to stand apart. In the fashion industry there are so many do's and dont's that it is my belief that we can sometimes get out of hand and forget that we are talking about a person that has feelings whether we are talking about the clothes on them or how they look! Fashion is art to me and truly at the end of the day should not be taken too serious, but talking badly about others and putting them down should be. I like to imagine that I am letting my inner child pick out what I am going to wear for the day. Because that was when fashion was the most fun for me! When it had no limits or rules. And so, today, on this lovely Sunday I would like to inspire you to allow your inner child, let your emotions drive your fashion decisions. Let fashion be fun and let judgement fall away, it is unnecessary. (with only one exception of showing too much skin or wearing things that are WAY too small, that is just socially inappropriate, especially in front of children!)
Here are some Shenani-Sunday pictures, they are pictures for no real reason other than to help make your day a little more inspired and Shenani-filled! XOXO

I adore fashion photo's like this. Something about a picture from behind the model seems to create such an intimate feeling in such an incredible high fashion moment that is so very public!
