Capturing Karlie

Model Karlie Kloss seems to have it all.  She's beautiful, smart, and still has an old-fashioned wholesomeness about her.  At 19 it's shocking to believe she can be such a professional.  Photographer Gabrielle Revere spent the summer of 2011 photographing Karlie for a spread in Life Magazine.  Look at these gorgeous photos...which one is your favorite?

Flirting With Temptation Thursday Ms. Spade

It's Flirting With Temptation Thursday--the day you blog about anything you are tempted by this week.  I love this day, it's like a confessional to all my blogger friends lol.  

So, over the weekend I went to Pasadena and spent some time in the Kate Spade store.  I have to admit, I wasn't a huge fan, but now I am in love with Ms. Spade and all her fabulous creations!  I literally could have purchased the whole store.  I bought a pair of fun ballet flats and plan to be visiting again soon.  

Look at all these pretties!  What do you love most about the Kate Spade brand?
