The InStyle Review (A.K.A. My Wish List)

I got the January issue of InStyle in the mail today!! Amanda Seyfried is on the cover. She looks a tad too photoshopped, in my opinion.

Her face, on the cover, just looks too... long? I don't know. maybe it's just me.

Despite her computer-aided appearance, I do love the dress and shoes that she's wearing in that photo.

Those SHOES!

Oh, pardon me, the "dress" is a body suit with a skirt. Both by Chanel.  The shoes are by Jimmy Choo. Unfortunately, I can't find photos of any online. Not that I could afford to buy them anyway.

But I never plan to actually buy the exact items in these magazines. I use them as inspiration for my shopping and my sewing.  Here are photos of some things that will be inspiring me this holiday season, and into the new year.
