Hello lovely readers, Ashlina from The Decorista here bringing you a little exotic eye candy while Cassandra is in a far away land. I’ve always dreamed of traveling to that side of our world and if I did, my first stop would be Egypt. With all of the vibrant gold, turquoise and black, how could [...]
It’s official, you guys. I need a big brass door – some way, somehow – in my life. Perhaps, in the closet, a lá glamourista Kelly Wearstler? seems a shame to hide all that fabulousness from the world, though. I prefer to take my loud and proud glam moments out of the [...]
Monsterscircus Lovely inspiration, I love metallics and this i totally glam, a bit over the egde for me, but my eye do like what I see 
thank you for the inspiration and have a dashing day
Ivy Lane Love it! Ms. Wearstler ROCKS!
Simply by Tamara Nicole Love this, I need that door
kate lewis yes, please. i’ll take one of each!
Cecilia I like the shirt and the door…but you can have a little too much gold…too much and you’re one step away from 80′s drug lord in Miami.
Cassandra LaValle Post author so true – i wouldn’t do this over an entire house! just one spot for impact.
Preciously Me Who wouldn’t like to have a brass door?! I wish I could have one too one day … Who knows maybe this dream will come true
mrs addamo woo very shiny !
The few times that I’ve gotten all dolled up for New Year’s Eve, it’s always been black black black. It’s classy, it’s sophisticated, it’s easy…and I’m tired of it. So this year, I’ve got a little number that packs some serious punch… Forget pretty – I want edgy. Give me some serious shoulders and hip-hugging [...]
tinacious me Love the dress! You look amazing!
xo, Tina

Emily | Sparkle Meets Pop What a great look! It seems like black is easier to wear for whatever reason, but this look is inspiration enough to change my mind.
Ivy Lane Very nice! Happy New Year!
Kimberly @ Vintage Modern I am absolutely loving this look!
B. in the Know Oh my gosh – you look stunning! Way to step out of your norm and this is the perfect dress to do it with! I hope you have a fabulous NYE!!
Much love,
B
Bekah Stunning! Like Serena Van der Woodsen stunning. Out of the (black) box, but still classy with a bit of edge.
Do we get a hair tutorial, too? B/c I’m loving that look but have no clue how to pull it off.
Chloe Moon Happy New Year!!! Your dress is so pretty! I have the same problem, always picking black…not this new year! I want to try colors!!! =) Very inspirational photo shoot!
Callie Grayson That last photo of you is fabulous!
I too have tired of the little black dress. For my holiday party this year I wore a gold dress and it was a huge hit, quite the venture for me. but I look forward to more adventurous dress wearing in the future. Thanks for the links to purchase new dresses.

Callie

carolina - patagonia gifts Hey Cassandra, I’m absolutely with you. This year I’m wearing an ivory color dress, with lace and pleated skirt. No black this year! wishing you a wonderful new year 2013, darling! xo Caroline
Inge - Simply Fabulous Chic Cassandra, you look absolutely stunning in that cool dress! And you’re absolutely right! I will wear a bronze colored dress full with sequins. You can’t glitter too much on New Year’s Eve, right?

katie kate you look amazing! love the dress. would kill for the hair!
When I stumbled upon this vintage Vogue image of Talitha Getty, I was immediately enamoured with the eclectic style she exudes in the photograph. Mixing a Moroccan crown, Berber dress and classic British boots, Talitha perfectly captures the worldly mix of cultural influences that we’re seeing again today – especially in interiors. Which makes this [...]
Uma Absolutely LOVE this! What a great look.
sofia love all the pictures of talitha getty when she was like a princess in her house in morocco!

Good morning friends! This week is going to be a little different and a lot of fun around here! I’m so excited to be a part of the 7 After 7 campaign with a group of fashion bloggers I adore, and a denim company – 7 For All Mankind – that is a classic in [...]

Cristina | FUJI FILES You’re a street style photo pro already! I didn’t even know I needed gold jeans, but now I do. Can’t wait to see more looks.
Diana 7 for all mankind jeans are one of my favorites, but I’m especially loving these metallic ones! They look great with your country look!
Lisa Cassandra your choice of pairing the gold beauties with lace and chambray is genius and sweet enough for everyday. The pictures are great too.
P.s :Have you ever thought about going a little bit lighter with your hair? I can picture you rocking a rich chocolate color right now darling
Cassandra LaValle Post author funny you should ask that m’dear – i’m thinking of doing something different for fall! i haven’t colored my hair in YEARS, but i think it’s time for something different!!
Franki Well, I’ve been wearing my (2 year old) metallic gold jacket with EVERYTHING. I LUV, LUV, LUV the jeans (and you wear them so well!!) franki
ana {bluebirdkisses} i love these pants! what a great look, I’m excited for more street style pics!
tina wish I could make it to the event this saturday! you are ROCKIN those gold jeans lady.
uma Love the jeans! You look great! Can’t wait to see the rest of the looks.
I came across their metallic gold denim jacket recently and just incorporated into my outfit of the week!
Lisa I couldn’t reply to your reply Cassandra, so I have to comment in a new one. I am so glad we are on the same track about your hair change. At first I was thinking reach brown like these :

https://pinterest.com/pin/157837161911378077/
But after some thought, I would suggest you two other options:
1-keep growing out your hair and color it in aubergine color (yes aubergine)
2- if you want to go all the way for drastic change, rock a pixie with a dark shiny black color. Don’t run, I don’t want you to look ugly, I just imagined you like that and you looked good. Think of Ginnifer Goodwin’s chic pixie.
Whatever you decide, just let us know soon
Raise your hand if you grew up watching Jem and the Holograms. (If you’re too young to have any idea what I’m talking about, please do yourself a favor and google immediately.) This rock girl’s theme song proclaimed her to be truly outrageous, and I couldn’t help but think that Jem might appreciate this little bit [...]
Naomi A YES! JEM! I found them again on Netflix instant! I made my hubby watch with me P.s. LOVE the scarf and pants for Jem!

Have you ever looked at your pins on pinterest and seen a reoccurring theme? It happens to me ALL the time. My eyes immediately go to the images that are matching up – usually due to a color or motif. So I thought it would be fun to share some of those with you in a new [...]
