Time heals all, and heels hurt to walk in, but they go with the clutch that you carry your lip gloss in.

Kate Moss for Topshop

by Andi on October 28, 2010 in Fashion

What better way to kick off your Thursday than to view Kate Moss’ Final Topshop Collection? Other than a XL cup of coffee, I’m going to say this is the much needed crown polish of the morning. I’ve blogged about the Topshop FW 2010 line here, but Moss’ signature line reflects and encompasses her as a true fashion icon. This is Moss’ 14th and final line with the British-based company and the AW10 70′s inspired collection is infuzed with paisley-prints, lace-ups and fringe, with cozy winter capes and furry sweaters.

Shaggy hood cardigan, $139.

Black dobby one-shoulder dress, $83

Star-print dress, $104.

Paisley poncho, $348.

Fringe dress, $167.

Feathered bolero, $125

Lace-up dress, $83.

The collection is released Tuesday, November 2 at Topshop in NYC. Can’t wait to move there over winter break and rage shop. What are your favorite looks? The entire collection is fabulous, but I’m obsessing over the fringe dress (obviously) and the shaggy hood cardigan.

Also, check out the Topshop site to view “7 days of Kate” (below) to see what Moss wears from the collection leading up to the full collection launch on Tuesday. Images via InStyle and Topshop. Have a positive Thursday and HAPPY Halloween weekend!

Finish something that is still unfinished, believe you can DO IT ALL.

by Andi on October 27, 2010 in Words for Wednesday

Decided to compile simple “Words for Wednesday” quotes all incorporating a white, plain background and some sort of list. From how-to’s to quick refreshing reminders about life, these lists are fantastic. I’m especially loving the lists “How to spend a day” and “Today is the day to…” These quotes/lists/inspirational words were a kick@$$ start to my day and I’m so excited to share! XO Queens

Used this on a previous Words for Wednesday post, but it's good enough to be repeated.

Love tights? Me too. (& more)

QUOTE: “ Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it’s at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.” -Earl Nightingale

MUSIC “2012″ by Jay Sean feat. Nicki Minaj, “Sundress” by Ben Kweller, “Please Don’t Go” by Mike Posner (Holllla OU jersey!), “Fancy” by Drake feat. Swizz Beatz & T.I., “Clear the Area” by Imogen Heap

INSPIRATION Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Accumulate experiences. Criticize by creating. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away. -Blogged about this quote in my recent GenJuice post called “Stop Running Away and Start Living.” I’ve made the conscious decision to live my life actively, rather than passively watch life “just happen.” Definitely let me know what you think of my GenJuice posts and follow my weekly life lessons/journeys on that fabulous site.
