Marion Cotillard Unretouched in Italian Vogue

Stunning!

I recently read on my favorite feminist blog Jezebel that Marion Cotillard had appeared unretouched and, from the looks of it, makeup-free on the cover of Italian Vogue. This got me thinking about how caught up we tend to get in the pursuit of physical beauty. It's pretty silly, isn't it?!

Guiltless is a blog that was recently started by my two friends Elizabeth of Don't (White) Sugar Coat It and Stephanie of Food For Real, in order to promote positive opinions about food, weight, and beauty. Please check it out if you have the chance! I think it's something you would enjoy!

Style Icon: Sheena Matheiken

Have you guys ever heard of the Uniform Project? Well let me tell you about it. Last May, fashionista Sheena Matheiken decided to wear the same little black dress (above) every day for exactly one year in an effort to raise money for the Akanksha Foundation, an organization that helps children get schooling in India. Every day she accessorized and layered to make the same exact dress look fresh and brand new. Was she successful? You be the judge-- in one year she managed to raise almost $80,000 and send 220 children to school. Want to know more about Sheena's efforts? Want to see all the outfits she created? Watch this video.

Hats off to you, girl!

It's getting warmer

Which means no jacket!! And this makes me really happy because I hate wearing more clothing than is absolutely necessary.

I spent today with my two friends (and fellow fashion bloggers) Sylvia and Juliana at a vintage fashion exhibit/auction in the 9ème arrondissement. Here are some creepy pictures I took of the girls while they were admiring the styles:

My favorite ensembles. Really practical purchases for me at roughly 1000 euro each. I'm kicking myself for not buying them on the spot.

boots- Target

La Vie en Ginger

My friend and fellow fashion blogger Emma is an incredibly talented writer, yet she refuses to pimp her own blog, La Vie en Ginger. So I've decided to do it for her by obnoxiously linking almost every word in this paragraph to her blog.

If you do check out her site, make sure to pay extra special close attention to this post about facebook, as she used a screenshot of my facebook as an example :)

Cool new blog alert

My friend Alana (aka the Good Girl Gone Blog) and her friend Rachel have started a new Boston fashion blog called The Comm Ave Strut. Y'all should check it out if you have a second!
