new layout (well kinda...)

i just put up a header gemma ward (who is my favorite model) style. hope y'all like it. i am going to start doing some celeb style soon (probably starting tonight depending on how much i have to do at work and how much i procrastinate from doing my school work) so look out for that.

also if you happen to be reading this tell me what you would like to see more of in this blog!

FALL 2007 .part.deux. ($100-)

i have been having some trouble finding a cute gray over sized thick(ish) sweater. this one i found to be particularly adorable plus it's from victoria's secret and for some reason they make super comfy stuff so i figure this would be a nice pick. though there is and uber cute snap button with bow gray sweater at h&m which is even cuter though was not very comfy.

i have been having trouble finding a cute blouse to wear with a high waisted skirt and i feel like i have finally found that. also it is not too expensive (still not particularly cheap especially with shipping from europe). i would def recommend this top for anyone with a cute high waisted or pencil skirt that does not clash with it (as the one bellow probably would).

alright this is just an amazing, tdf, pencil skirt. i gotta say its one of the cutest pencil skirts i have ever hear and it's affordable. it really cannot get much better than this. a definite must have for this fall!

okay so this next pick is not best for fall i gotta say but once spring rolls around you better have this especially if you happen to have an 80s afternoon tea party to attend. speaking of which would be the most brilliant thing ever i mean tea sandwichs and the 80s. you cannot go wrong and this dress screams that so you obv can't go wrong with this dress either.

FALL 2007 .part.deux. ($100-$300)

i have yet to decide if i am attracted to the shorts or just the brilliant insanity of this picture, but in any way the right person could make these shorts amazing. so if you think that might be you i suggest getting them and sending me a picture so i can really fall in love with them.

alright, it's official, mike & chris cannot do a jacket wrong. thanks to them i will probably starve myself for the rest of the year. i don't care if my dad told me "no starving yourself for clothes" it is soooo worth it. anyway i have been looking for a jacket/coat with the kind of hem on the bottom. also the bow is super cute and uh i just love everything about it.

ever since i stumbled upon the lola y maria website i have been in love. the clothes there are so adorable and not too pricey. also they are located right here in new york city so once i get some more money saved up i will definitely be heading their way. now this dress like the one above has the same beautiful hem at the bottom. also it has darling puff sleeves and i just adore the pockets. i am pretty sure it also unbuttons which makes it easy to change up the look. all-in-all this is mos def one of my top picks.

okay so this is another one i am torn about. i think i just really need to see if on an actual person out and about to really decide how much i like it. i think overall it is cute i actually enjoy the ruffles but what i can't decided is whether or not it's over kill. i think the mannequin really tones it down since the white all sort of blends together.

i probably need to stop with the whole leopard print dress thing but i don't know why i am just really attracted to it. i think it's just be a fun dress to wear out and about this fall with a black pair of tights and cute heels or boots. it has a very funky but classic look to it which makes it great for many occasions.

FALL 2007 .part.deux. ($300-$500)

apparently for some reason i can not find any of the super cute 3.1 phillip lim stuff i have scene in some stores, but this is a pretty cute find. i really enjoy the colors though they are bland. it would definitely be good for nyc since everything here has a more bland tone. i just think its a nice comfy looking dress that you can easily dress up or dress down.

okay so i saw this on the front page at pink mascara and it immediately caught my eye. i am not quite sure how huge of a fan i am of it but if you wear with the right accessories it could be brilliant. i gotta say though it would be a lot better with pockets. though what dress wouldn't? maybe i should just start sewing pockets into all my dresses. hmmph.

aw good ol' betsey johnson impresses me as usual with this adorable puff sleeve dress. though i am not sure how i feel about how much room on the top the embellishment takes up it is still darling. it's so simple yet exciting. it's definitely my top pick of these dresses.

FALL 2007 .part.deux. ($1000-$500)

alone this dress is eh. honestly i do not think it is worth it's price. i personally bought a much similar tank top version that i got at h&m for much much much cheaper so i really do not suggest getting this but in case you have tons of money you feel like blowing then be my guest but if thats the case definitely try doing up the whole outfit because the dress definitely looks hotter with the jacket, belt and tights.

well i am not sure quite how i feel about the dress. i am liking the cut of the dress but i am not sure about the patter. it is call mj print which only means one thing to me and as you probably guessed i can not resist any drug related clothing. you should see my collection of coke related shirts. anyway i am not promoting drugs by any means but i think they look pretty dope in fashion. pardon my pun.

so i have found it. THE leather hooded jacket from my dreams. it's purely GENIUS. it almost deserves it's own GENIUS post but i needed something else for this entry so it'll stay here. it's just so perfect. i love the buttons and the hood and the pockets and the hidden zipper and uh everything. plus the great philt wore it so you know it's fabulous. now if only it was more affordable.

GENIUS: "hemp" sweater

so now i did not think any designer could make "hemp" so classy and so fucking cool. i am just in love with this sweater. it is adorable i mean mary kate (or ashley?) wore it and she looked super fly in it, i mean really she always looks fly, so if she wears it it must be GENIUS! i think i have fallen in love with this sweater now if only i had the $$$$ for such brilliance. looks like i am really gonna have to start saving up because though my mom may kill me if she ever sees me wearing it but it is so worth it. by the way did i mention it's cashmere? because you can truly never go wrong with cashmere making this even more brilliant.

the same sweater (in different colors) can be found at aloharag for $2,450.00

news break: strand book totes

i have issues with brand names on clothing items/bags in general. i mean i get it its advertising and if you are selling clothing it's smart because if someone likes the shirt and sees it on someone else they know where they can get it. bands also have merch which i am a fan of because a lot of the shirts and stuff are pretty creative and awesome. now what i don't quite get is bookstores having merch. i mean sure it helps advertise, but why would people want to use such a plain bag with and ugly logo as a purse. okay so i will forgive you for using it as a book bag or such, but seriously if i see one more person uses a strand bookstore bag as a purse in this city i am gonna loose it. it's not even like you are being original and it serves no practical purpose since it has no pockets for various items so if say your phone rings you don't have to dig through the bag until whoops you miss the call. i just don't get the appeal. so please just stop it doesn't even make you look that smart, it just makes you look like a dumbass.
