Rachel Roy

Rachel Roy's ss '12 collection epitomizes easy breezy spring style. Loving the shorts and the open knit sweaters and dress...glad to see that they're back for next season.

Party

I know summer is over, but this is one of my favorite songs off of Beyonce's new CD, it feels like summer with a bit of '90's flavor plus it has Andre 3000 and Kanye West, needless to say it's been in constant rotation on my iTunes.  Enjoy.

Zara Online

If you're anything like me and you live stateside, you've been waiting for Zara to go online forever, well, the wait is finally over, Zara's online US store launches tonight at midnight. There were rumors of a 6 p.m. opening for fans of their Facebook page...but that hasn't worked for me. So, until the site officially  launches, I've picked out a few favorite items that I definitely want to grab.

cute sandal

since there's no such thing as "winter" in miami ;). 

holiday dress anyone?!

perfect for work. 

just a killer heel! though i've never tried zara's shoes...they appear to carry my size online. 

Gloria

                                                     

If you're like me, you immediately associate Gloria Steinem with the women's right movement of the 60's and 70's. I'm pretty sure my assessment  of her didn't really go beyond that, luckily though I watched the HBO Documentary on her Gloria: In Her Own Words, a too short, if you ask me (it's just an hour long) overview of her life beginning with her first big story, an expose on the Playboy Club and the conditions the women there worked under.It was just the beginning of a new mission Ms. Steinem had on working for women's equality, a goal that is still not fully realized (women only make 75 cents for every $1 a man makes), it gives insight into the progress she has made in the 40+ years since she became one of the faces for the movement.  I was amazed at the negative feedback she encountered, especially from the other women who she was trying to help. Gloria's goal was for women to have a choice...something that my generation has definitely benefited from, even if we haven't fully realized the dream (of her or Dr. King but that's a story for another day). The film is definitely worth checking out. The trailer is below.
