Perfect Peplum


The Peplum Waist...everyone is talking about and you see it on every runway. It's the flared waist on a skirt or dress that adds the perfect charm to any outfit! It seems these days that all of the celebrity's are wearing it and designers like Ruffian and Jason Wu are adding it to their fall lines. Check it out!

Vogue: 120 Years Of Style

Today I received a very wonderful gift...a 900 page issue of Vogue magazine! I was so happy that I had to come home and tell the world about it! It is simply breath taking...the pictures, the articles, and especially all of the clothes!
Lady Gaga graced the cover, and although I am not a fan of her music she still looked beautiful in a pink gown. At first I didn't even recognize her because she wasn't wearing an eccentric outfit...if only she would wear normal clothes in public..;) Even my cat thought she looked a little different..haha. 

The issue highlighted past issues with beautiful photos.

Wonderful Fashion and Photography. 

My cat (Little Kitty) really enjoyed reading it with me..:)


Here are some Vogue pictures from my Pinterest account..click on the right to go to it!

June Cleaver, the mother of Beaver and Wally, wears beautiful dresses. I don't think throughout the 6 seasons she has ever worn a pair of pants..haha. :) I set out on a mission to find some of the dresses she wears, so of course I went to Modcloth.com.
