Penelope Cruz in US Vogue. Wearing D&G. I think she looks beautiful. Love white lace for S/S. I haven't liked any of Penelope's dresses for the Pirates 4 press tour. She should not have worn that Givenchy Couture dress. Her hair however is stunning!
Kirsten Dunst in Cannes looking beautiful.I would love to get a pair of the silver mary janes.
Summer style inspiration.. Rumi of Fashion toast. So simple & I love those Balenciaga boots. Lady Moriarty. I just love her style. Lovely vintage feel to it. Elin Kling. Zara dress from their May lookbook. I want it. Mode D'Amour. I really want to get a pair of jeans this colour for the summer. Cats on Rocking Chairs. Check out this lady's blog. Love her style and the lace shorts in the pic above.
So today may mark the visit of a certain little lady to our little country, but for us, it marks our thousandth blog post! That's right, we have rambled , gossiped , joked and waffled on for 999 posts. We would like to thank EVERYONE for following , reading , commenting, supporting (and voting for !) our little blog for nearly 3 years. It means an awful awful lot to us, and we decided , as a kind of reward for putting up with the pair of us, we will post some of our most MORTO photos taken of us down the years. Believe me there are plenty more where they came from so if you wish (and if we get enough requests) we will lift the lid on many more of our fashion horrors. At least we were adventurous I suppose ! HA! *wardrobe malfunction..ahem*
And now for something really special.. from the Louise Ryan archives. Me and Lou aged 16 Yes, that is a scarf tied around my low rise hipster jeans. And yes , Louise's jeans do meet the top of her boots.
Aged around 13 or 14, on our way to local teenage disco. Good Lord I was wearing an ELASTICATED sequined boobtube with a white SHRUG. Cringe.com, Lou was going through her B*witched phase so I believe this look was based on either Keavy or Edel. Either way , we were both mad cool.
So a big huge THANK YOU to everyone who has worked with and put up with us for this long. Here's to another 1000 posts ! I'll sign off with a video I posted on blog post number 1....
"My Mom, the Style Icon" You have to check out this blog when you get a chance. I am hooked. People send in pics of their stylish Mum's along with a few words about the story behind the photo. They have also released a book which I would love to get my hands on. Click here x
Elle Denmark April 2011. See the rest of the shoot here So pretty x
Rachel Bilson at the Derek Lam for Ebay presentation in New York. This is by far my favourite dress from the 5 piece collection. Click here to see the other dresses x
Alexa & Poppy in Cannes. Picture is from Laura Bailey's Vogue diary. I am in love with Poppy's skirt.
Come back Summer. Please.
Inspiration. "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes" Charles R. Swindoll. I couldn't agree more.
Movie Recommendation.
This may not be for everyone but I really enjoyed this movie. They are both great actors.
Some Sunday reading.. A few of my favourite blogs. Fashion Copious ~ I really love this blog..It has everything all the latest editorials, fashion news , model news and so on. I especially enjoy the "good reads" posts. The Glamourai ~ I find this blogger a breath of fresh air sometimes. Some of Kelly's outfits are not for me but she definitely owns her style. I don't know about you but I find a lot of repetition at times on personal style blogs. I think Kelly is in a league of her own. Her apartment is gorgeous also. Hanneli ~ Streetstyle photographer and you also get a glimpse at times of her own amazing style. You can always find inspiration. (Click on the titles to go to the blogs!) x
Sunday Song..
Yes this is from the Water for Elephants soundtrack. Really love this song. Shame about the movie. It was so dissapointing because the book was amazing. Just goes to show its better not to watch movies based on a good read! x
Happy Sunday x
