instagram us @loveannatran & @helloitsmesophia

i'm a fairly newish member of instagram and am absolutely obsessed (i feel like i've been cheating on bloglovin' with instagram) with this app. it's like my own personal photo editor and makes even the most mundane subjects seem heartable.

please follow me @loveannatran & my sister sophia @helloitsmesophia to peer into our daily musings, like such:

PEPLUM APLOMB

peplum, a design detail described as a ruffle or skirt attached to the waist of a top, dress, skirt (or even a coat as seen at Givenchy) - was flaring at the biggest shows during Paris Fashion Week spring 2012. the flattering, sexy, yet demure shape of peplum marks the return to dressing like a lady...but not an uptight one.
an illusion of an hourglass figure, a tight cinch at the waist and a forgiving ruffle along a seemingly area of the body most women want disclosed, makes for the perfect silhouette any frill-seeker would be excited to wear this season, and the next.
