OK, this is just wicked photography and god I am jealous; we're heading into winter - I wanna laze around in knickers and (faux)-fur jackets, and rock out in wet-look swimsuits! Perhaps indoors with the heater on this is achievable???

Outfit of the Week: Fashion Toast

OK, I love this girl. Hottest dress ever (what a gorgeous cut, no?) and all that floral prettiness is edged out with some killer ankle books.

Style inspiration: Chloe Sevigny

I love love love Chole's style - she's hot, has no fear, and always manages to look, at the very least, well...interesting! And when she goes glam, wow, she just nails it.
She reminds me of a young Goldie Hawn sometimes too...
I wish I could sneak into her closet and steal a bunch of stuff - she inspires my inner klepto! :)
Chloe shares her style tips with Elle magazine here.
