Pinterest Faves

My Dear Followers,

If there is one thing I am obsessed with it's Pinterest. I am constantly posting, re-pinning and just browsing through the endless photos. So, in order to validate my addiction, I will now compile some of my favorites and turn it into a blog post. Rest assured, it was incredibly difficult for me to figure out what to put in and what to leave out. I really love every single photo that I post. Head on over to my Pinterest here and maybe you'll become as addicted as I am!

So, I hope you all enjoyed that little look into my Pinterest addiction. If you loved what you saw, make sure to head on over here for more!

Yours Truly,

Tory

My Dear Followers,

There are few colors I enjoy as much as plum. Fall is the perfect time of year to throw it into your outfit either as a lip color or maybe as the centerpiece of the whole look. I hope you all enjoyed this inspiration!

Yours Truly,

Catch Up With Me

Not only is Sarah Mikaela glamorous, but the girl has a great sense of humor. Her blog is a must read! (source)

My Dear Followers,

The past couple of weeks have been hectic but absolutely thrilling. I am now in the second week of college at LIM College in Manhattan! It's been an absolute blast getting settled in but unfortunately it didn't leave me much time to blog. So now that the hard part id over, I can finally begin to blog again. 

Not only have I fallen behind on blogging, I've fallen behind on my blog reading. So, I figured I would take you guys with me as I caught up on my reading. Here are all of my favorites from my favorite bloggers. Enjoy!

For all the guys out there who have no idea where to go shop next, Rob Mangano is your guy. His blog is constantly filled with links of where he gets his clothes which range from vintage shops to the hottest stores right now. (source)

This beaut just turned 16 and she's been killing the fashion scene for some time now. Always the master of inspiration, Amelia Martins' blog is not one to miss out on! (source)

For those of you who have been following my blog for a while you know I have a bit of an obsession with Matthias Cornilleau. His style is just always on point and I'm convinced he can do no wrong. His blog is one of my favorites to read and I hope you get as obsessed as I am! (source)

I never really thought of myself as the kind of girl that would love minimalist fashion but my mind has changed. I mean, how else can one be as comfy as Joyce and still look so chic? Unbelievable. Her blog is so inspirational and it'll really make you rethink the way you look at minimalism. (source)

Nobody has better accessories than Adam Gallagher. His blog is a great resource for seeing the best way to wear your favorite outfits at your favorite locations. He's always traveling so whether you're at the beach, a concert or just around town he has great tips for you! (source)

My favorite thing about Eva Macij is her casualness. She always looks so chic, but as if, like Beyoncé, she woke up like that. This is one of my favorite posts that I have seen on her blog. Just so fabulous and accessible. (source)

He may be new on my blog feed but Justin Livingston has definitely earned his place in my list of favorites. Always positive and adventurous, his blog is a great breath of fresh air. (source)

For a variety of looks, I always love checking out Tina Sizonova's blog. The Russian goddess can pull anything off and she's not afraid to try!(source)

I'm sure that all of you are as obsessed with Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist as I am. His photography is just always on point and his blog is the place to go to get the low down on what everyone around the world is wearing. (source)

Well, I hope you all enjoyed helping me catch up on my reading. As always, make sure to check out all these blogs and follow them if you like! I hope you all had a fantastic Labor Day weekend and that this week only gets better.

Yours Truly,

Tory

Vogue

My Dear Followers,

It is my firm belief that every fashionista in the world has the same love and addiction to vogue as I do. Since 1892 Vogue has been showing the world that fashion is more than just clothes but that there is an artistry behind it. So here are some editorials from several issues of Vogue from around the world. Make sure to head on over to the Fashion Industry Archive. It was so incredibly helpful in the making of this post. I couldn't have found all the photographers and stylists without it! Enjoy!

Things I Love

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 20 year old son Patrick modeling for Tom Ford Eyeware with Gigi Hadid. More here.

My Dear Followers,

Sometimes when cruising the interwebs or reading magazines or the like, I stumble upon things that I just can't keep to myself. So this post is about things that I am in love with. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Marcel Floruss is just always on point. His blog One Dapper Street is definitely one of my all time favorite reads! 

I don't know about you all but these D&G advertising campaigns make me lose breath. They are just so unbelievable and I can't get enough. Check out the rest of them here.

Kanye may not be everyone's favorite but I can't help but love this interview he did with GQ. Here's my favorite thing that he said in the interview: “Most clothes are black or white. But I don’t like all that contrast. It looks either too work, too waiter, or too wedding-y to me. If that’s even a word, wedding-y. Anyway, that’s why I like tonal. There’s less contrast; it’s more casual.” More here and here. 

Viktoriya Sener is definitely one of  my new favorite fashionistas and it's so incredibly easy to see why. She is just so effortlessly chic. More obsessing can be done at her blog.

The August issue of Vogue is going to be incredible. Not only because Blake Lively is looking ultra fabulous, but because the Olsen twins have a revelation. Mary-Kate and Ashley have designed a wedding dress for long time friend Molly Fishkin and it's exquisite. I can't wait to see more from the two of them. In the meantime, check out more photos of the dress here. 

For all your menswear inspiration head on over to menstyle1.com Not only are the looks fantastic but they definitely have something for everyone!

Rita Ora has been killing it in the fashion world. Not only does she have a collaboration with Adidas, but now the blonde beauty landed the fall 2014 campaign for Roberto Cavalli. Head over here to see all the photos from the campaign and here to see the video. 

Terry Richardson has quickly become one of my favorite photographers. His work is always on point and I love that he doesn't shy away from the controversy. Check out his site here. 

There are few things in life that are better than chocolate. One of these things is Guiseppe Zanotti Design shoes. I mean, I can spend hour upon hour lusting after these shoes. Check out more on their site as well as their Pinterest! 

So, this is just a few of the sites, people etc. that I have been loving recently. Hope you enjoyed!

Yours Truly,

Tory
