Who's Peter Pilotto? Great question, here's a picture of his Spring 2013 line and according the his website:

Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos are the designers behind the PETER PILOTTO label. Pilotto is half-Austrian, half-Italian and De Vos is half-Belgian, half-Peruvian. They met whilst studying at Antwerp’s prestigious Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the year 2000.

PETER PILOTTO’s vision of womenswear embraces both new and classic perspectives on elegance. Otherworldly prints combine with soft sculptural shapes to form the handwriting of the design duo, something which evolves and is explored each season as opposed to being reactionary.

Anyway, I've put together the above looks to get you all jazzed about the affordable line coming out this Sunday, February 9th at a Target near you. 

My favorite part of this collection is the items that are black and white focused. This trend is really hot right now but also incredibly timeless. I also really covet that structured, color block blazer. What a great staple. It reminds me a lot of old school Alexander Wang. 

Things have been crazy here. Life used to throw me one or two major, pivotal moments a year. Now I feel like I get one or two a month... Not sure how to describe it, but I think the Universe is trying to tell me something? Time to start listening. I will share more when I can. Please send me some vibes. XO. Over and out.

Rest in Peace Phil Hoffman. You will be missed. Honestly, if your name was in a movie I automatically gave that movie credibility and wanted to see it. You were one of a kind and your death is a reminder about the short time we have on earth. Plus it goes to show that even those of us that are deemed successes still struggle. 

His 'Uncool' scene in Almost Famous was one of the first scenes that resonated with me as a film discovering adolescent. His performance transcends the stereotypes in the film and taps into the collective consciousness. The need to be cool. To fit in. To be loved. 

We must remember to be good to one another. It's all there is in the end.

Laugh it Off Mondays: Kitties vs. Kiddies

Does it seem weird that none of these parents are not more concerned? I don't have kids so maybe it's totally normal to not worry when your kids are getting their faces scratched off... Maybe they are all 2nd children? Enjoy!

Musical Musings: the 2014 Grammys

I haven't watched the Grammys in years. It was always something I watched with my parents and something I could never remember to catch as an adult. But I do have fond memories of them because some of my first exposure to alternative/rap/rock music was via the Grammys winner CDs from the 90s. So, naturally when we were at my parent's last weekend we watched the Grammys and lets just say the show has changed since I last watched it 10 years ago... 



This performance elevated Imagine Dragons to a new level of rock n' roll. Kendrick Lamar's performance intertwined with their song Radioactive was the best performance at this year's Grammys. Who would have thought they were so legit? The song is aggressive , but the mashup fits perfectly. 

The other best mashup of the night was between Carole King and Sara Bareilles. It made my heart grow two sizes, left me teary eyed, and inspired. What a great performance! Music that is uplifting is a gift from the Universe. 

Sorry for the delay on these posts. Between taking a vacation, Houston having a 'snow' day Tuesday (it was a trace?), and my parents visiting last night I have been swamped. I've got some goods in the works so come back soon.
