Nothing to write about :(

I went shopping today in New York and could find nothing to buy. The high streets are filled with the skinny bottom large top combo and I'm sick of it. I went to Chinatown to buy a fake Balenciaga bag but couldn't bring myself to do it. Seeing the bag in the stall next to the other fakes took its allure away. Hopefully, the designers will produce something fresh this season or we'll be seeing more of the same. I understand why fashion insiders always tout change. As an avid magazine reader I',m sick of seeing the same things. Imagine how redundant it must get to look at the same clothes everyday for a WHOLE season. No wonder why fashion is about out with the old and in with the new.
P.S. The Amanda Bynes picture is supposed to add a little humor. Her label overload is horrendous. Two branded items in one outfit is a HUGE no no. Sweetie we know your balling despite your inability to do anything but bubblegum roles. You don't need to prove it with this fashion pau.

New Bag?

I am SICK of my bag. I have been wearing the same bag since I purchased it during H&M's 25% off weekend after Thanksgiving sale. It's a a chic briefcase sized black tote with crock print that can be carried on the wrist or shoulder. Great,but I want something new. In the line at Urban, I saw a woman with this beautiful Marc Jacobs Hudson bag. It hasn't been getting much press coverage unlike the coveted Stam so; I figured it would be cheap. Boy was I wrong $1,275. I'm going to keep an eye on the bag in hopes that the price will go down once the S/S 07 bags are released. I like the Hudson more than the Stam and it won't be assoiciated with a particulat season b/c of it's low profile. I started to look for alternatives. This LAMB bag is cute and "only"$550. I plan to buy my 1st luxury item this semester but, I feel as if this tote will only remind that I couldn't afford the Hudson. Also, I'm scared to buy a luxury good for fear that I'll get tired of it. Maybe I'll get this classic Louis Vuitton although these bags seem rather trite as of now. I don't care if most people will think it's fake because, I'll know and that's all that matters. Maybe all I need is a new wallet to spice things up.This groom is cute but has no card holders, a must for me. This one is more functional although, I'm more partial to the smaller one. Maybe I'll find something nice at Century 21 the mecca of designer goods on sale.

Team Spirit Tactful or Tacky GO BEARS!!!

In the minds of us non fashion oriented people, today is a pretty big day. While we have been getting geared up for Fashion Week normal Americans have been awaiting the Super Bowl. For fans it's a chance to act like a high schooler. At my mom's job people wore blue and orange to work, brought pom-poms, and held a pep rally. I kid you not and; she works at a clinic. Usually I don't care about these things, but as a native Chicagoan, I'll display some team spirit. Here is my hypothetical (I'm not actual going to waste my money on the shirt). Super Bowl party outfit.

With my cardigan

moccasin boots

and tights

This Super Bowl outfit displays team spirit with tact not tackiness.

GO BEARS!!!!

Couture Style

In anticipation of Fashion Week I decided to recap the best dressed from the recent couture shows in Paris.

Pause and admire the detailing on this elegant dress. Revealing yet mysterious and alluring.

Dita: Displayed her sartorial talent by incorporating her classic pin-up girl style with a trend(the bubble skirt).

Proof that money doesn't buy style. I looked better than that last night rocking my dress from the Zara clearance rack ($24.99). These heiress look horrible. The culprit in the middle is a Hearst (Harper's Bazaar) heiress. I can't believe Tinsley (left) was covered in Vogue. Who cares if she has a line of bags coming out. She still has no style.

Katie Homes: Bland and Blah. The color and cut are too high school prom.

I don't remember where this photo is from but, I love it. Both Selma and Scarlett are beautiful in their own unique ways and so are their outfits. I would rock both of them.

Oxfords

I've been contemplating buying these classic oxfords from Payless for months now. They can be styled with so many outfits and add a refreshing touch because nobody on campus has a pair. Seeing this picture (below) makes it almost certain that I'm going to buy them. I like to include classic pieces into my outfits and make them modern but are these a little to frumpy???

Copy Cat

About a month ago I saw a picture of one of my fashion icons (Mary-Kate not Ashlee of course) with a bennie. I basically want anything that Mary-Kate wears, other than that horrendous tablecloth/dress she stepped out of the house with a few weeks ago. Anyway, I decided to stop by Urban on my way to work and was ecstatic to see the same bennie I drooled over. I can't wait to wear it to Fashion Week although; I feel unoriginal b/c I appropriated the look. I enjoy buying things and then seeing pictures of Kate, Sienna, Nicole, etc wearing the same thing later. It's fun to know we're on the same wavelength without copying. I'm aiming for a boho-punk vibe....hope I can pull it off. Also I hope the Olsens show up at Fashion Week as they're always sartorially inspiring.

Factory Girl

I have been waiting for Factory Girl to come out for months. I was especially upset when the release date got pushed back. The prominence of mod style and Sienna's 50 million magazine covers have cemented this desire in my head. None of my friends have heard of the movie b/c it hasn't been advertised on TV. Guess I'll be going to see it own my own.

Ever since Sienna was forced to change her style after it was appropriated by millions, her day wear has left much to be desired. But this is a rare cute look. I wore an outfit similar to this a couple of days ago. She was criticized b/c her dress was short enough to be a shirt. Once again the tabloids have no fashion sense. Bland. Bland. Bland.Sienna has gotten allot of criticism for this outfit but, I think it's fashion forward and most people don't get that. She refrains from wearing a literal 80's interpretation by keeping the outfit monochromatic.
Sienna' s evening wear is usually flawless.

The Black Pucci dress and flower Marchesa dress are among two of my favorites this season. Ahhh the gorgeous W layout. Sienna is truly stylish because she can channel several personas and make all of them work.

I want the Prada patent leather heels.
