'Tis The Season.....Of Love

Happy Monday, Lovies! Since Valentines Day is one day away, I thought I would acknowledge cupid's month with some "Love-ly" images, in the hopes that you'll love this month as much as I do. May you be surrounded by more than enough love; not only this month, but throughout the year. Muah! <3 <3

"Sh*t Fashion Girls Say" (Parts I & II)

If you've been getting a kick out of the viral, "Sh*t Girls Say" video and the many parodies of it, perhaps you fashionistas will find this one just as amusing as I did.

Luxe iPad Cases

It's no secret that iPads were amongst the top purchases this past holiday season, and rightly so. I've had mine for six-months now and still absolutely addicted to it. I'm wondering where it's been all my life. I have everything I could ever want (almost) all at my fingertips and its small and chic enough to carry literally everywhere.  The fun part is protecting your beloved new family edition with a case/sleeve that reflects your personal style. Here are some (De)luxe ipad cases to give you inspiration, or have you swoon over.

If the man in your life is in need of one, check out Dapper Lou's recommendations on stylish ipad cases for men.

Cases above:

• Burberry
• Dolce & Gabbana
• Z Spoke (Zac Posen)
• Proenza Schouler ps1
