welcome to the doll house

I originally met Victoria Shelton founder/owner of Paper Doll Boutique through a mutual friend in 2007. Since then I’ve been nothing but jubilant over her booming success as a young entrepreneur. Victoria started her own business at 19, while most wouldn’t deem investing in such a consuming profession at a young age, she executed her venture with style, wits and poise. 3 years later; reigning at 23, Victoria continues to fashion Brooklyn with her signature dollhouse motif. Above is a Paper Doll Boutique promo video inside the dollhouse!

Jil Sander

Not all sweet tooths’ consist of sugary treats; some come in the form of wearable confections. This spring 2011; designers baked up a sassy batch of coquettish looks, each intended to express their love for the season’s prevalent trend─ Colour! In musing mode, I gathered a chic constellation of my favored looks for the spring/summer; ones’ that I would love to replicate affordably, by adding my own whimsical twist.  Which designers' look are you craving this season?

Cover girl Selena Gomez

You’ve got mail─ Well it wasn’t exactly an email I received  ( referencing the signature AOL  email alert) but a rather compact delectable ─Teen Vogue  June/July 2011 issue; one that I uber adore with every fashionable inch of me. Gracing the balmy cover─ Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place actress turned singer ─Selena Gomez.  After reading Selena’s feature with inquisitiveness─ my findings: Gomez is the girlfriend of Teen heartthrob ─Justin Bieber, a Texas native; former cast member on Barney & Friends, has a flourishing clothing line with Kmart─ Dream Out Loud and will be starring in a upcoming movie ─Monte Carlo─ in which she plays Cordelia ─ a British socialite ─ opposite of Leighton Meester, Katie Cassidy and Cory Monteith.  What can I say, through chic observation about the “Who Says” songstress? ─Selena's look has transfigured, she traded in her girl-next-door staples for a more darling demeanor.  Check out my top picks of SG’s magical style. 

dancing in the mirror

Hearing the glazed honeysuckle notes of Mariah Carey’s hip 90’s single “Fantasy” always puts me in a love spell nostalgia; I grew up dancing in the mirror harmonizing all her lyrics with a secret crush in mind.  So hearing it today on the radio put me back into a dreamy trance.  The melody just makes you glitter and feel amazingly beautiful, I found myself glowing in awe!
