Before I get to my post check out my feature on Smashion!

Yesterday we had the day off work for President's Day.  I was looking forward to being very productive, doing a fun outfit shoot and relaxing. But that didn't happen. I did nothing until 4pm and then I decided to finally do something.  I got out my fashion magazines that I picked up from my parent's house yesterday to read and took some photos of my new Alligator pin! I actually got this a few weeks ago when I visited a friend at Yale, but haven't found the perfect way to wear him yet.  Then I realized that he matches my DKNY coat perfectly! So he has a new permanent spot in my closet and will finally start seeing the daylight! (in the summer I'll have to find some other ways to wear him)

Coat: DKNY, Pin: Laila Rowe in New Haven $10, Magazines: Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire

And for those of you that don't follow me on Instagram here are some shots from the past 2 weeks.

I always love Coco Rocha's photoshoots, she always has such a variety of poses and really gets into a character which makes them so much fun! I am in love love love with all of these looks, especially the one with the brown pants with the stripe down the side, I can see myself wearing that this fall! I know we are in the heat of summer and these are fall shots, but they were too gorgeous to not post.

Here is the editorial I mentioned a couple days ago, I selected my favorite shots, all of them may be seen at the source.  It is called "The Darlings" which fits their outfits very well (duh...). I love the mixing of prints and textures and all of the dark hues, this is very different from usual summer issues, that may be why I like it so much.

While flipping through the June 2011 issue of ELLE magazine I fell in love with these two photos of Lily Adridge. She looks so amazing and I want to rip those clothes off her and wear them myself.
The purple look is all Givenchy. The second is an Alexander McQueen jacket and Rag & Bone skirt.

There was another editorial in this issue that I really loved so I may post that too if I can find it! (I'm too lazy to scan it XD)

Before I get to this post I wanted to thank everyone for their opinions on my last post, they really helped! I was never planning to get rid of anything, I just wanted to see if there was something you guys wanted to see more of or something I could add (only if I liked it of course ;)). A lot of you were saying my pictures are too small but I'm a bit torn on making them bigger.  I make them smaller so I can show more, BUT if you click on them they pop up larger in a lightbox (not a new window), this way I can show more without having posts be super long.  But if everyone feels strongly about bigger photos I can definitely do that and just limit the number of photos I show.
Some people love her, others hate her, I personally love Coco Rocha. She's so cute and a great model; do you follow her on Twitter? This shoot is for Elle Italia's January 2011 issue and I am loving the colors and her hair looks gorgeous. Apparently there were at least 2 different spreads, the first one is "crazy" and the second is "energy", you can tell by the difference in her hair. (and I made the second set smaller and didn't include all of them because there are so many)
