Careful, boys and girls, there are boobies showing.

model behavior

I have two faves on the model scene lately. They are completely different, yet they both have a doe-ish quality about them that I'm super drawn to. Regardless, I'd give my left ankle to look like either of them.

Bambi Northwood-Blyth
Elite Model Management
Origin: Australia
Age: 20
5'7" (she's SHORT for a model!!!)
31"-24"-34"

Ginta Lapina

Origin: Latvia
Age: 21
5'10"
32"-24"-34"

I suddenly got really hungry for pizza. Or a bacon-egg-and-cheese croissant. I also suddenly feel very guilty for these cravings.

OMG! shoes

I kinda would rather slum it in moccasins most days - and once summer gets here, I'm pretty much barefoot anytime I can get away with it. So even I recognize how unusual it is that I'm obsessed with shoes, particularly those of the sky-high variety. And it gets even better when they're platforms! If you can't find a badass new pair of shoes from the bajillion below to covet for this spring and summer, I you are so officially crrrrazzzyyyy!!! For serious.

man repeller makeover

Earlier this week, my editor, Kerry, and I went down to Kirna Zabete in SoHo for the morning to shoot a little makeover for StyleCaster with none other than one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Leandra Medine, aka The Man Repeller. It was so much fun to browse around and play dress up in all the newest trends and clothes that I can in no way afford. Leandra changed clothes about as many times as I did and ended up buying this fabulous lime Proenza Schouler slip dress. Needless to say, I was très jaloux. 

The pictures from the makeover, taken by StyleCaster favorite Joseph D'Arco, will be on the site soon. I'll re-post them here afterwards but until then, here's a little snapshot Kerry took on her phone. I'm excited to see how the real pictures turned out!

bridal style copycats?

Uhmmm... Hi Kate Middleton. I'd like you to meet your long-lost twin from last century, Grace Kelly. I love that the princess (or is it duchess?) du jour wore a gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, but I'm having a bit of bridal déjà vu...

StyleCaster, Racked

princess bride

Cute. And she looked GORG. But the second kiss is a little over-hyped, no? For their first endeavor into the world of pda, I think they could've spiced things up a bit more.
