i love it when magazines use humor in their photoshoots and the photos below are a perfect example of this. harper's bazaar did a shoot with rachel zoe and five top american designers based upon her 'i die' catchphrase and the result is funny and very cheeky.

dreaming of...

i'm really going through new purse withdrawal as it's been quite a while since i've purchased a new bag and i've been rotating through all of my old bags. here are some really chic purses highlighted in harper's bazaar that i would probably never be able to afford but can still dream about.

louis vuitton

yves saint laurent

a perfect gift idea

the holidays are coming up soon which means it's time to start thinking about what you are going to get for your friends and family members. harper's bazaar has compiled a list of great gift ideas in their newest issue, out on stands now. one of the gifts that i love is what they call "brag books" or french-linen covered photo albums for each month of the year, each of which holds 24 photos. this is a very chic gift for anyone who loves to take photos or wants to become a bit more organized!
