MAD about mad men

So just recently one of my besties suggested that i watch a show called mad men. She DID NOT steer me wrong, loves it. It is a sexy, witty drama filled with interesting people living in a mid-century night's dream. Mad Men is smart and tremendously attractive, and it stirs you more than it probably should (at least in my case). The clothes, cars and interior design seen on the show is equally as attractive. The 1960's fashion is so glamorous and intoxicating by capturing style and class of women such as Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

birthday beauty

Today is my beautiful sister's 25th birthday! She is very special to me and no matter what slot of time passes through our visits, it means nothing when we reunite. In terms of fashion, Liz has always had an effortless cool edge. Unbeknownst to me, Liz has somehow managed to know a given fashion trend long before it was anything and finally when i catch on, Liz is onto the next. She has spent quite a lot of time in the most interesting places that has undoubtedly influenced her chic street style, a year in Brussels to the Brooklyn blocks she is the epitome of a cool kid. With her Mr.T like necklaces to menswear accessories, Lizbette's unique vintage twists cement her as one of my fashion icons forever. love you L.

strike a pose.

Definition of cool.

Liz LOVES Marc Jacobs! But then again, WHO DOESN'T?!

elegant equestrian

First post! So exciting, so new, so BELLETRISTICally fabulous! Anywho i decided to discuss both a recent and historically prevalent fashion trend that is near and dear to my heart! I have been riding horses since a very tender age and it has impacted my sense of style and taste inevitably. Everything from Dior inspired jodhpurs to Hermes saddles, Gucci bits and finally Ralph Lauren riding coats, i love it all.

That's me!
