The Summer Look

2007-03-25T11:09:00.000-07:00

Hey, sorry it's been so long since I posted! My life suddenly got pretty busy and boring at the same time if that makes any sense and I didn't feel like updated. But now the fabulous weather has inspired me to do a post about summer clothes! I wore short, summery dresses all day yesterday and into the night. Plus I got a pedicure and drove around in a convertible. The perfect clothes for this weather, shown below.

Start with a pretty shift dress:

Juicy Couture

Pulled over a cute patterned bikini

If I say so myself, I've been wearing some prrretty cute clothes in prrretty cute outift combinations recently. And of course whenever I feel cute, I take a picture of the outfit. For your viewing pleasure:

(These last two looks were my Pete Wentz inspired day. hehe)

I &hearts Pete!

2007-02-27T18:46:00.000-08:00

Pete Wentz is soooo hott.

Ahhhhh. Yum, eye candy.

Ok so now onto the point of his post... although his hottness could just as well be my point.
Actually that is my point.

My sidenote is: his label Clanstine Industries is really cool! I love their stuff, and everyone knows that music and fashion go together like milk and cookies. Someday when I'm a famous designer I'm gonna have a band play at one of my fashion shows for the background music. Oooh Fall Out Boy will play. If I can afford them.

Some kick @$$ merch from Clanstine.
and just because he's beautiful:

I watched Step Up last night (a little late, I know) and I totally looooooved all the clothes! As if I wasn't already obsessed enough with dance/ballet clothes, now I so want to wear tights more often. Some addddorable outfits from the flick:

An outfit I was wearing one day when I felt especially ballet:

Dance your way into someonne's heart and look adorable in dance inspired clothes as the weather warms up.

You've got to love Juicy Couture . I got an e-mail from Neiman Marcus with some of their new stuff and Oooooh is is cute! I'd wear the whole line, pretty much, but these are my favorites, the many I'm considering splurging on.

Juicy is the NEW BLACK! This shirt is so cute! It reminds me of those House of Hollard shirts.

I love this pattern but can't decide whether I like the shirt or the mini sleeved jacket better.

I have always wanted a pair of Juicy comfy pants and these are THE ONES. They say Juicy is a girl's best friend on the waist-band. Extremely Nessa.

Long velour shirt/jacket. How do you spell comfy?

And of course these shorts. I used to not like Bermudas but these are different. And I like them very much.

I already know I'm going to a wedding in Hawaii in June and I'm probably going to another one later in the summer too. This dress would be perfect!

These are what made me start looking at all the Juicy stuff. These are SO cute! I totally need a pair!!

Stay Juicy!

It's been really warm here the last few days. On Friday it was 78!! And the past three days have been balmy and fabulous. I am so craving to go outside and tan, which I might just do when I finish this post.
A little while ago when I was craving summer like it was apple pie, I was looking at bathing suits on Nordstrom, and there were some adorable ones. Now that it's warm I so want to be wearing one (well if I hadn't added all that weight to my thighs since the last time I saw my legs...too much apple pie ;} ). Here's my favies.

Ralph Lauren/ Roxy
The polo logos all over the first one are so cute! And everyone had this suit last year and I always loved it. The bottoms have the X and Y

Juicy Couture
Yay stripes! Not exactly nautical, but cute! And oooh golllld! I love gold, and a golden swim suit? It'll match your golden tan and look soooooo cute.

Betsey Johnson.
Betsey knows what I want! (Wow I really have a weakness for her designs). I'd wear any of these in a hearbeat. 'Nuff said.
Stay wArm! (and watch your legs. Just cuz you haven't seen them for a while doesnt mean they dont exist!)

I've always had a thing for corsets. Ever since I watched Gone With the Wind I suppose, I've wished I could live in the era of itsy-bitsy waists for all and huge puffy dresses. Maybe I was born a few major wars too late, but that doesn't mean I can't incorporate corset style into my life now. I've yet to find the perfect corset, so in the end I might try and make myself one though. Here's some good ones though.
Anthropologie:

Dolce & Gabbana:

Nanette Lepore:

Betsey Johnson (I think):

(@ fashion 156)

Really, you need to check out this issue of fashion 156 for yourself, because the entire issue is fabulous and I can only post so much of it. It's called the trends issue, but I'm not so sure these clothes are trends. I wish they were though, because everyone would look so fashionable in them! Hot:

Sexy Shoes(for women and men)

I love this dress.

So beautiful. Who is this model? She's captivating!

Designer Spotlight: Nanette Lepore

2007-01-28T15:55:00.000-08:00

Since I've been posting this blog, I always keep my eyes (and camera!) open whenever I go shopping or flip through a magazine or catalogue. Looking back through some of my finds, I noticed alot of stuff from Nanette Lepore . So, I looked through her website and collections, and I LOVE what I see. It's somewhat of a cross between Chanel and Betsey Johnson, black/white and sophisticated but with enough lace and frills to keep the look young.
Shop Now @ Nanette Lepore
but first, some of her adorable stuff.

NL does nautical better than I've seen before, with pieces that are wearable .

I love this striped (if you look close!) jacket. It's young and fresh, especially with the oversized red buttons. And of course, cheetah! How did I not find this yesterday?

I saw this coat in Nordstrom, and let me tell you, it is even more fabulous in person. The pattern sparkles . And I just love this skirt! I think my mom passed on her weakness for black and white.

Yay shoes. Chunky heels without feeling like your Grandma's orthopedics, and funky patterns.

This is my favorite thing of hers that I've seen. It's so elegant and sophisticated!

I've always had a soul-sucking (but in a good way) weakness for cheetah print.
With words like spunk, attitude, fierce and bold associated with animal prints, what could be better?
Here's my purr-worthy print picks.

(L.A.M.B $385 @ Nordstrom)
This coat from L.A.M.B is so fabulous! It's sophisticated and daring, plus it's got spunk. Love

(Betsey Johnson, $49, $211, $170, $110)
I could go on for hours about Betsey Johnson cheetah print stuff, but I decided to only pick four. (ha ha)
First, this cute little negligee. Actually, Victoria's Secret has the matching bras, panties, and robes in this pattern, they just weren't on the website. Cute stuff though. Then, the fabulous red dress. Very sexy, very summery. Light weight and adorable for those oh oh summer nights. (Sorry, i watched Grease on Thursday ;] ) Then these shoes, with the cheetah print hiding on the insides and the heels. Betsey tends to do this a lot, and it's just so delicious. I absolutly ADORE this jacket! The second it goes on sale at all I'm snatching it up, or if I ever have a bit of extra cash to burn. It's Betsey, it's pink, it's cheetah. Yum.

(Donald J Pliner $200/ Irregular Choice 55 pounds)
Two pairs of cute cheetah shoes! I really love shoes like these that are like hairy, and pumps with a tiny peep-toe. Ahhh...

(Diane von Furstenberg $275/ Marc by Marc Jacobs $368)
Why not add a zebra and a tiger to the mix? I want to wear the savananah (but not literally, that would be cruel).

And the bag that inspired this whole post? My new school bag (yes! I finally got one!) that came yesterday. I had to have them ship it to San Fran from the outlet near L.A. and then have my Dad hook up our fax machine, just to get them to ship it to my house, but it's here! And it is sooooooooooo worth it!

Stay Fierce!

Yay! Finals are over, and I finally have a chance to post again! Now i just have to figure out how to make the pictures work again. Anyway, I thought I'd post the five things you don't know about me and then later this weekend (i promise this time! It's a three day weekend, so i really will) i'll figure out whats up with my blogger and post my new bag and stuff.

1) Meg Cabot is my favorite author ever. I started reading Princess Diaries in like 3rd grade, and now I read all of her books.

2) My best friend and I pass a notebook back and forth every day at school, just like The Notebook Girls (the book.?) When we grow up we're gonna publish it.

3) If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to attend FIT (fashion institute of technology) sometime in my life.

4) I was born in New York City, and I desperatly want to live there when I grow up. Fashion Avenue here I come.

5) I want Karl Lagerfeld's job.

does no one else have FINALS?

2007-01-19T18:43:00.000-08:00

Apparently not. I realize that school schedules are different around the world, but I thought at least some of you would be going through the agony of studying around the same time as me? I've spent much of this week studying for next week's finals and the rest of my time watching Beauty and the Geek, American Idol, My Name Is Earl, and You're The One That I Want -es that were clogging up my DVR. I sat down today and decided to read all your blog posts from recently, and honestly just spent the past hour and a half reading what my Google Reader called '100+' posts, although I'm pretty sure it was more like 200. PLUS, I didn't even attempt to comment on any of them, or read Style Bubble. I barely read any of the entries either, I mostly just looked at pictures. Yikes. So if any of you did your absolutly best literary work or were extremly witty in your entries from the past week, tell me and I'll actually read them! And if anyone read Style Bubble this week and thinks I need to look at the post, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

All I will say about the Golden Globe are two things:
(Click on the names for pictures)

1) I absoluly love Reese Witherspoon, and she looked SO young and beautiful at the Golden Globes.

and
2) If Cameron Diaz's dress hadn't had that strap, it would have been fabulous.

(Apparently, I can't post pictures anymore! I'll get on fixing that and be back tomorrow with ACTUAL fashion posts!)

I know it's boring...

2007-01-16T19:00:00.000-08:00

But the truth of the matter is I have to post my random thoughts first, and then I can gather up stuff for a cool awesome post! yay! Plus, it's amazing i'm even posting right now, since I managed to have NO time last week, but i already have time today? Soon I'm gonna be bogged down with studying for my first every FINAL which will be very stressful, but once I return, I promise I'll be back to my posting prime. Until then, please stick with me through the half-posts and the pictures of me in outfits...

"II like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party." (Ricky Bobby)
Yup, that was my inspiration for this outfit, which I actually wore a long time ago, but whatever. Actually it's two outfits, one I wore out to lunch at the club, and one I wore out to the movies one afternoon. Yup, I got one of the Inspi(red) shirts! Yayyy!

Then these two pictures are actually the same outfit, but I just wore it twice (oops!) Once out to dinner with my cousins and the other today at school, with my new denim jacket! My mom and I went to the great mall yesterday and I got this jacket for 20 bucks! yay outlets!

Some random layering by MOI. I got out of the shower one day over break when I had been in my PJs all day (cuz' whats more fun than that?) and wanted to dress cute, so I paired these items together. I think it actually looks kinda cute, especially cuz i found a matching ribbon for my hair!

I saw these on Coutorture and just thought they were ridiculous and adorable at the same time! They're swarovski encrused pepper spray bottles! They are actually auctioning off some designed by celebrities, mostly the cast of My Name Is Earl (a show i LOVE! if you haven't seen it then you must tune into NBC 9 PM on thursdays!) and the money goes to the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence. My favorite is the one by Jaime Pressley, who plays Joy.

Ah! I am so sorry that I haven't posted AT ALL this week. You guessed it, this was the week I went back to school! It was such a long week, and a lot of dramatic stuff happened, including me breaking up with my boyfriend, :). Anyway, I'm not busy now so I thought I'd post a two electronics that caught my eye during the week but I was too busy/lazy to post.

OMG this is so cute! I have always loved Sidekicks AND I have always loved Diane Von Furstenberg's lip-print-ed designs. Combined? It's too die for!

And of course, this week Apple introduced the iPhone. I am absolutly in LOVE with this phone! It's completly perfect, what more could you want? Personally, I'll wait until the second version comes out, because they'll work out the kinks, it will be less expensive, with more memory, AND they might start making them in colors. (like pink!) But this will be the ULTIMATE phone!

It's Those Fabulous Gilmore Girls Oh How We Have Missed Them

2007-01-07T08:16:00.000-08:00

I've been watching Gilmore Girls, well 'religiously' is how I've put it in the past (and it's true!), for about two years maybe (yeah I know, I'm a late Gilmore-bloomer, but I've made up for it with how much I love the show!) Well I came in about 5th season, if that gives you an idea.
Anyway, as much as I love this show, and even though I have heard Luke (Scott Patterson) mention that Lorelai (Lauren Graham (my all time hero)) wears 'crazy outfits all the time' (but usually with pants!), I never thought to actually pay attention much to said outfits. An 'ooh that's cute' here and a 'ommmg I'd so wear that' there and a 'why dont i have that!?' later, and eventually there are some adorable outfits that I'm not paying attention to! (Please excuse me. The show is so enjoyable I don't even need to focus on costume to enjoy it. Is that my fault?) But now I have gone through a screen-caps site and pulled out some stuff that I love, Just For You. (It's not just Lorelai/Lauren either! Rory (Alexis Bledel) has some cute stuff once she escapes from Chilton's uniforms!--gasp!)

Some FABulous dresses worn by Lorelai, and just because I can I'm going to name all these episodes, from left to right. (Lorelai's First Cotillion, Wedding Bell Blues, and... darn. Well she is standing in the Dragonfly for this picture so it's Season 4 last episode or later. Do I get points for that?)
An elegant, full length white dress (without being bridal!), this great blue dress and purple sparkly minijacket (which should not be worn together, but alone are quite quite cute) and a cute day dress for your inn-managing duties. Parfait! (which means perfect in French, not a layered dessert)

Lorelai's Tee-shirts! (The middle one is That's What You Get Folks, For Making Whopee)
I love how Lorelai has this fabulous tee collection that she incorporated into her outfits, so when she is at home she can be cozy, but when she is out and about, she looks mature enough that someone won't think 'God, that mother should dress her age' (Although no one ever thinks Lorelai is a mother anyway) I know she has thousands more good tees, but I am lazy, and stopped when I found three examples.

(The one where Old Man Twicum actually dies, dunno, and the one with Lane's Bachelorette party)
Just a few great Lorelai outfits! She layers so well! I do realize that Lorelai Gilmore is not actually dressing herself, she is being dressed by the costume department, but that would mean Lorelai Gilmore is not real, and if I have to admit that I'll cry. So I won't. Oh and in the picture on the right, that jacket is Juicy! One I posted a while ago. Haha, I've got the eye.

(Friday Night's All Right For Fighting, That's What You Get Folks For Making Whopee (?) and some unknown one in the Yale Daly News office)
Rory's college chic! (And because Paris (Liza Weil) has a cute outfit I didn't cut her out of the picture) Rory (or her character sniff sniff) has really grown into her mother's fashionable shoes. (I won't even point out that they share shoes, because it's obvious. oops) My favorite is her outfit on the far left. Which inspired this entire post. hehe.

Who can pull of work shirts like this adorable workaholic? No one.

I have brought together the two things I love, my fashion blog and Gilmore Girls.
Now I can die. (But I won't)

Here It Goes, Here It Goes, Here It Goes Again

2007-01-05T17:14:00.000-08:00

I'm sure you've all seen this video. Ok go on the treadmills? (How cool is this by the way?) Anyway, when I saw this video the first thing I noticed was how well dressed the guys of Ok go are! They all look so chic in their pink, vests, and ties. So I decided to look a little further into the matter, and found that Ok go are usually dressed well! Examples:

(This pic looks like Mick Jagger! Agreed?)
Don't you just love it when guys dress well? Especially in bands. It can be hard to mold their style into your own though, just because of the fact they are guys. Here's a few of my ideas to make Ok go's look your own.

Step One: Blazers Why not try a cute blazer? Over a tee or even a shiny top, like these boys do. It's masculine-chic, but still girly, especially when in a cute color. (Juicy Couture actually has a cute red velvet one that I've seen twice, but for the life of me I can't find it online. Probably because it's on sale . Try Bloomingdale's or any Juicy store.)

Step Two: Shine & Stripe Tops Shiny tops, or stripes are great. Try a bright color of shine, something you wouldn't normally wear, i.e. shocking purple. Try a low cute or buttoned top when it comes to stripes. Oh and try a Michael Stars top, like the one in the top left corner. They all have glitter embedded in the fabric. And why not layer any of these under a wool-but-fab vest?

Step Three: Ties Ties aren't just for the guys anymore! Add one to any layer to add a level of style or professionalism. Want one different than the one's in your Dad's closet? Try a metallic or a designer name one, like this Pucci one, left.

Step Four: Menswear Don't be afraid to venture off into the other side of the store! Try a mens top, it might be a bit big on you, but with your tight little jeans and jewlery, you can glam it up! Or go the other way; steal one of your little brother's tees that will fit you nice and snug. Some guys' stuff is actually cute, and a lot of designer brands make mens lines. (like Dior homme, which Mary Kate and Ashley wear all the time!)

Step Five: Button-Down Shirts Not quite ready to branch off into guy's clothes? Fine! Why not try out one of those striped shirts you've seen a million times at HCO or A&F? This one from Abercrombie and Fitch is totally the cutest one I've seen yet. It's women's wear, but it's on the edge enough to make a statement.

Steps Six and Seven: Men's Accessories and Pink You know you've seen dozens of these type of socks before when you sort socks when doing laundry. How cute would a pair be sticking out of your converse when your are wearing a mini skirt? (Can you tell that I want to raid my Dad's closet? I just think I could make some of his stuff cute!) High socks are popular anyway, so put your own spin on them--male. And, since the lead singer wore pink pants, I had to include these Juicy velour ones. That way you can be cozy while still being chic. Pair them with a vest or tie? Who's Your Daddy?

A Tad Scary?

2007-01-04T16:56:00.000-08:00

I was flipping through fashion156 the other day and I came across this picture:

I found this scary. This model has actually gotten so thin that she has no breasts. Her rips pop through her skin and she has no body fat.
Once you get this thin, I don't think you're even attractive anymore. Someday, when I'm a designer, I'll hire models that aren't this thin. This girl has to be at least a 0. Not healthy.

Thoughts?

Car-mel (Not Caramel)

2007-01-04T10:48:00.000-08:00

For New years I went down to Carmel with my cousins from NYC. It was really beautiful, and it was so cool to dip your toes in the ocean on December 30th. (hehe, thats Cali weather for you!) When I was getting ready to go to Carmel, I forgot how cool a town it is, and didn't realize it was actually a good shopping town! I found:

These adorable purses that were actually made from old liscense plates and hubcaps. Then they put rhinestones all over them. I think I really would have gotten one if they hadn't been $200. But they were too cute.
My cousins and I also found this adorable store called Nalu, that had all sorts of great clothes, like Rock and Republic, Hudson, Paige, and other jeans.

Here's a picture of my Aunt Jen and I at Nalu. We both actually ended up getting that shirt (lol), and I ended up getting the Hudsons I'm wearing.

Carmel, also has this fabulous Coach store, which is seriously the best Coach store I've ever been in, except maybe the one in NYC. Anyway, it always seems to have more purses and accessories than mine, and different ones too! Like, I found this adorable hat, above, which was so cute. I wouldn't have worn it much, but putting it on made me feel sophisticated. Plus, it was having a sale while I was there. How could I resist?

I &hearts my new purse!
A few cute outfits I wore over the weekend:

And see those jackets, the purple/pink one and the black one? They are really the same jacket! It's my mom's, reversable, and closes magnetically.
All in all, my weekend in Carmel was great.
Hope you all had a great New Years too!

Did Me Proud

2006-12-29T13:51:00.000-08:00

I love Juicy Couture, but I realize some people don't. They find it frivilous, too expensive, and not chic. Maybe they aren't big fans of tee's with Juicy scrawled on them, or maybe they don't like velour tracksuits. (And I pitty them, I really do). But because some people don't think Juicy is quite as chic or mature as other brands, I was so proud when I got an e-mail from Neiman Marcus with this picture:

It said Shop Juicy Couture but I didn't quite believe it at first. But when I clicked on the link I was amazed.
It's such a great look, really fashionable, like their Couture Couture line, but without the thousand dollar price tag.
This outfit makes me love Juicy even more.

I Left My &hearts In San Francisco

2006-12-28T10:18:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went into 'the city' (as we call in here, and people will know what you mean) to see Jesus Christ Superstar. But first, we had a tiny bit of time to go shopping! So we headed straight for the San Francisco Centre, and split up, my mom and me and my brother and my dad. While the boys went off to the Champs Sports, my mom and I headed to the new-ish Juicy Couture store, which I hadn't been it yet. It was so great! I didn't get anything there, but just being there was fabulous. Then we went to where we really wanted to go, the Bloomingdale's. If I had to shop in one store for the rest of my life, Bloomingdale's would be it. There is half a floor (and it's a really big floor!) that is just JEANS. hEaVeN . I went in with the intention of getting Rock and Republic's but I tried on some 26-es (whcih are my size) and they were too tight, and there werent any 27-es. :( But I did find the most fabulous Chip and Pepper's in 26 that DID fit. (Which boosted my self esteem too).

How can you resist a pair of jeans with the tagline 'You've got a sexy bum' ? It always reminds me of my English aunt, who talks with the greatest english accent.
As much as I love these jeans (I would wear them immediatly, but they still have to be hemmed, like all the jeans I buy...) there was another pair of pants that caught my eye and I have been dreaming of them since.

Paired with layered tops and a Seven For All Mankind denim jacket, were these Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans. But not these exactly. The ones I saw had one side of a zipper trail on the side seams. They were SO cute. I can remember now, while I dug through the Rock and Republic's, turning and seeing these jeans and rubbing the zipper with my finger. As soon as I woke up this morning, I looked for them on the Bloomingdale's website, but couldnt find them :(. I guess I'll check my local Nordstrom. (To add to my misery, I think they were on sale!)

I love cities.

(By the way, how do you like the new layout? I finally made it read-able! Yay. I love it, plus I am so proud of myself for knowing the littlest bit of HTML to be able to make it look like this. The header picture I took yesterday in the city, it was on the Nordstrom window. My new mantra, and the way I'm gonna live my life from now on)

2006-12-26T08:59:00.000-08:00

Remeber when you were little, and you had those necklaces and rings filled with lipgloss? That sticky, gooey, bright pink lipgloss, and you would smear it on your face and put on fake pearls and think you were all that and a bag of M&Ms? Well, I was looking at the Sephora website, looking for ways to spend my gift card, and you'll never guess what I found! Lipgloss in jewelry! But this is not the cheap stuff you wore when you were three. Here are my finds:

(Dior Dior Pretty Charms $55)
How cute is this? The icy charms, the locked look of it, and the broken heart inside. But of course, it's Dior.

(Hard Candy Lip Gloss Ring $6/Hard Candy Keepsake Heart Lip Gloss Compact $18)
I lllooovee the brand Hard Candy. If you don't have anything from them, I suggest you rush right out to your local Sephora, and find the cute little Hard Candy counter. All their stuff is brightly colored and adorable, just like the two lipglosses above. I absolutly loooove the compact, it's so adorable in its BeJeWeLeD glory. And what's cuter than a lip gloss ring? A lip gloss ring that says 'Kiss Me' on it.

(Sephora Piiink VIP My Deliiicious Bracelet $8)
At first, I thought this brand was cute (I can't really stay away from anything named 'Pink') and then I started to think it was a little obnoxious. I mean, who are they trying to sell this to? Sometimes it seems like the three year olds with the sticky pink faces. But this bracelet is really cute. With the heart and the rhinestone P? And it's made by Sephora, so you know the lipgloss will be good quality!

(Too Faced The Beauty Brooch Cameo Avant Guard $28.50)
This is my favorite one off all of them. Lipgloss behind a cameo charm, surrounded by hearts, jewels, and baubles. And it doesn't hurt that it looks cuter than the rest. I'm not sure I would wear it as a brooch, but I'm sure I could figure out something to do with it!

(Urban Decay Commando $26)
This one would probably look the least ridiculous if you actually wore it. Dog tags are cute, and this one is adorable, purple with a floral design and URBAN DECAY stamped into it. People might not even notice it had lipgloss in it until you opened it up!

(Juicy Couture Lip Gloss Charm $75)
You know something is the real deal when Juicy starts making it. I did notice that this Juicy one is the most expensive of all of them, but it is just too-beaver-dam cute! I love everything that Juicy makes that is gold. And this is no exception!

Stay Glossy!
