Too tired for words...

Hey Everyone,
I know I keep on saying that I'm going to try to post more often but I've finally faced facts and realized that my life is too busy to post all of the time. While I would love to say that I post every day and come up with something new and interesting each post, I honestly get too caught up in my daily life which consists of school, sports teams, school plays, various clubs, and homework. Anyways, enough excuses; Time to write about fashion:

Today on ebay I found these fantastic pair of Dolce Vita shoes:
The seller describes these shoes as "timeless" and "androgeneous," and I couldn't agree more. I could imagine wearing these shoes with a countless number of outfits. I'm not so sure if I'm actually going to buy these shoes since I prefer to be able to try on shoes before I buy them, but I do love how they look! When it comes to shoes I skip over the dainty, strappy shoes and go right for the bold, strong looking shoes. I'd prefer to feel as if I could kick down a door rather than feel like I have to take dainty little steps. I don't know if this comparison actually makes sense to anyone else, but it's the best way I can describe my attitude towards shoes.
Here are some examples:

I think it's obvious which shoes are the bold ones and which are the dainty ones.

I'm Back

I realize that I haven't posted for an eternity, but my schedule has been so crazy. I was hoping to find time to post over vacation, but I was working and came home everyday exhausted. I have also been putting together the costumes for out school play, which is going to be Seussical and should be great. Well, now that I'm actually posting, on to the fashion:

1. NY Fashion Week - I really liked what I saw. Some favorites were Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Julian Louie, Katy Rodriguez, L'Ren Scott, Malandrino, Naeem Khan, Phi, and more. I'll try to go into more detail later.

2. I got some awesome rings from Forever 21. I am officially obsessed with that store.

3. Today I went to the square (again) and checked out Urban Outfitters I found some cool jeans but they didn't work out.

I'll post more this week!

It was almost spring today

I am so ready for winter to end. I am dying to wear short sleeves and to shed off all of the layers I am forced to wear now. I want to see flowers and plants outside instead of snow. Today was much warmer than it was before, but still not spring weather. All of this thought about spring has me fixated on pastels. I am dying to go out and get some clothes like these:

The People at Forever 21 Want Me to be Happy

I know it's a few day late, but I MUST tell you about my Saturday:

My mom woke me up at 8:00 in the morning (on purpose). I showered, got dressed, and my mom and I were at our local mall by 9:00. Now, at this mall, none of the stores open until 10:00, so why would we go over there at 9:00? Because I needed to stand in an already formed line in front of Forever 21. I had heard on the radio that the first 200 people to go into Forever 21 would get a free gift card, and my mom and I were two of those 200! Forever 21 was giving me free clothes! It took us forever to get out of the store since so many people were there, but it was all worth it. The goodies I got were a pair of gray skinny jeans, a gray t-shirt with a pocket (similar to Alexander Wang), a black t-shirt, and this amazing black cardigan with MILES of fabric. The cardigan has this wonderful draping effect when you wear it and these great full sleeves. I'll post some pics when I find the time. I saw some a great pair of shoes there but I didn't try them on, and I didn't go to the accessories department, but I'll be sure to go back! THANK YOU FOREVER 21!!

Alexander McQueen for Target

Here is the preview for Alexander McQueen's collection for Target. This is so exciting! The clothes look adorable and the prices will be so reasonable. The collection will be available at Target March 1st. I'm counting down the days!

I am IN LOVE with this dress. The draping is gorgeous and the geometric print will fit in with the spring trends very well.

This is a really cool t-shirt, but unfortunately it does not fit with my schools dress code. Too bad...

What a great trench coat! I have yet to own one, so I'll try and snag one of these.

This is a really cool tank top. I could definitely see myself get a lot of use out of this in the summer. Also, the shorts are great too.

This is my favorite look so far. The blazer has an interesting fit, which I love, and the tailored pants are very chic. I like that they're cropped, it gives the outfit a unique look. I'm going through a slight nude phase right now, and that button up shirt would be perfect!

I'm unsure about how flattering this romper would be on my figure, but I'm loving it on the model. I'll definitely have to try it on. Again, the cropped pants are great.

I could probably live without the white dress, but the leather vest is superb! It's a perfect way to bring the biker jacket look into the spring and summer.

Another great jacket.

It's a little hard to see from the picture what the whole garment looks like, but I'm intrigued by the sheer wrap. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

This top is absolutely adorable. Again, I'll have to wait and see how flattering it will be, but I love the color.

This is the perfect spring dress. (And it fits my schools dress code) It's also a perfect dress for and hourglass figure like mine.

I would also like to say happy birthday to Azriel!

Joseph Font Fall Haute Couture

I know it's not so recent, but I stumbled across pictures of this Joseph Font runway show and I fell in love. I found the clothes to be completely amazing. I thought that the colorful floral prints used with the flowy tops and dresses was fantastic, as well as the rose mohawks. I seriously need to find a pair of these tights.

Oh and also, I landed a counselor job for the summer! Now, not only will I be kept busy during the entire summer, but I'll be getting paid!

Polyvore

I was having some fun on Polyvore and made this set:

I would feel like a princess in these soft, romantic pieces. The unusual charm necklaces give it a whimsical feel.
