Dreamlight: Adele - "Someone Like You"

Words cannot describe how much this song speaks to me. Check out Adele performing "Someone Like You" live in her own home. Breathtaking.

Dreamy: Rihanna's Birthday Dress


I NEED to know who makes this dress! It's sexy, fun, and adorable.
Rihanna sported this lovely creation for her Birthday on Feb 23rd in L.A. at a private residence. Although that mop on her head nearly killed the whole look, the fabness of the dress definitely saved the day.
I'm on a hunt to find out who made this perfectly fitted creation...
If you know please leave a comment!!

UPDATE: A reader brought to my attention that this dress is from the Mark Fast SS/2011 collection! Check out the runway look below.

Dreamlight: OPI New Release-Pirates of the Caribbean and Silver SHATTER!

I swear OPI drops colors like labels drop albums. They have us looking forward to the "release dates" like we're waiting on a Kanye album! I'm not mad. Their choices are FAB. And just like albums, there are bootlegged versions as well (ahem--China Glaze Crackle, lol)...Hey, some of us ARE on a budget.

The black version of OPI's SHATTER clearly did well since it sold out at many locations (I was only able to find mine on Amazon).
Now in May, they are releasing a silver version, as well as a delightful pastel range from their Pirates of the Caribbean collection. Check them out below. The first two are my faves.
Sidebar: I wonder if the recent tragic incidents with the Somali pirates will cause the movie (and the OPI line) to be pushed back. Hmm...

In order: Mermaid Tears, Skull and Gloss Bones, Stranger Tides, Planks a Lot, Sparrow Me the Drama, Steady as She Rose

Dreamlight: Yanko Design Wall Art Chair



Style and Function? Is there still such a combination? Yanko Design thinks so. Its Wall Art Chairs are pretty genious. Small studio apartments, swanky new-wave offices, art galleries are all places that would benefit from the form and space-saving functionality of these nifty chairs. Great idea. Love the color options too. One is a wood design with a saw pictured on one and a tree on the matching mate. The other is a newspaper-esque collage of words in black and white. Check them out.


Dreamlight: Joan Smalls

This girl is fab! Joan Smalls is rocketing to stardom with over 40 shows booked for this Fashion Week season. Add that to editorials in both US and Paris Vogue, ad campaigns for Roberto Cavalli, Gap, Gucci, and Estee Lauder and you have the makings of a super star career. The black and Puerto Rican beauty was also recently asked by Essence magazine to keep a photo diary of her experiences during Fashion week. Check it out here.

See Joan appear in Ricky Martin's video for "It's Alright" earlier in her career:

Dreamlight: Street Etiquette

So apparently I'm late. Street Etiquette is all the rage and I only today discovered them. Check out this awesome blog. These guys have impeccable fashion sense and fab photography skills! They've been featured in several magazines and ad campaigns as well. I'm already working on finding out more about them. Nice!

Fashion Week F/W 2011


New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 is but a few days away. I wonder which collections will peak my interest this season. I'm excited to check out my usuals...Marc Jacobs (all 3 of his lines: Marc by Marc, Marc Jacobs, and Louis Vuitton), Chloe, Burberry, Rodarte, Balmain. But I'm also looking forward to checking out some other lines to which I haven't previously paid attention...and that are gaining popularity.
Rebecca Minkoff looks like she will have some fab entries from the previews I've seen. Those envelope clutches with the studs are to DIE for.

Also, London Designer Duro Olowu will be doing his first New York Fashion Week show this season and many are excited to see what he will bring.


And we certainly can't forget about the 30th anniversary celebration for Michael Kors!

Now who's got my tickets to go?? ;o)
