Serious Update

Wow, it's been a while. I was so completely swamped with work, and then I needed a few days off to relax. Well, I'm back now, and I have to say: I love after Christmas sales. You can get the best deals. I picked up a few items such as these ADORABLE Joan & David shoes. Also, some more big sweaters, (one of my essentials), and some fun jewelry from Aldo.

Aha!




I've finally decided what celebrity to dress up as...MIA!!! I have the perfect outfit: The pair of pants I made (the colorful ones) and this long, off-the-shoulder t-shirt I have that says hugs for sale. Sailor hat and fuschia lipstick will also be included!

Update

This week is filled with tests, quizzes, and papers for me. I probably won't have a lot of time to post this week but after I have two weeks off! I'll definitely be getting a lot done then. I went to Old Navy and got some good stuff, and my mom picked up an adorable pair of Franco Sarto shoes. Pictures will be up (after this week.) I promise, I just need to get through this week.

Chris Benz Spring 2009 RTW

Brian Reyes Spring 2009 RTW














360

This week, at the Institute of Contemporary Art, there was the 360: Second Anniversary event to celebrate American designers. Designers that were there were Brian Reyes, Maria Cornejo, Tuleh, Sari Gueron, Chris Benz, Jason Wu, Magda Berliner, Elise Overland, and Lyn Devon. The Olsens twins also attended. The event was not a formal fashion show, but rather there were mannequins and models around the room showcasing the designers work. Was I able to go to this event? No, but I did read every article about it that I could find. It wasn't distance or time that was the problem, but rather price. Each ticket was being sold for $400. That's a little out of my price range.
I'm going to do separate postings for each designer showcased at this event, just to give a taste of their work.

Let's be a Nerd

Lady Gaga....
Or Katy Perry?


I've been wanting an opportunity to dress up and go all out and I finally have one! My school's having a spirit week with some pretty great themes. The first day is Nerds and Jocks day, and I'm definitely going for nerd. The next day is going to be a celebrity day and that one I'm having trouble with. (img: facehunter, garance dore)

French Connection

Today I got the French Connection catalogue in the mail and I liked what I saw. My favorite was the coats and jackets they had. This white biker jacket is lovely. The fact that it is not black is really refreshing and somehow works with the design.
This would be perfect to wear to a party. I'm going to need to find a cheap knockoff.
It's a leather jacket...need I say more?
This jacket is darling! How wonderfully cheerful and bright, especially this time of year.
I can tell just by looking at it that this jacket will flatter almost anyone. It's great.
