p.s. I don't think this is really a fashion blog anymore, or if it ever was. I kinda got sick of that whole sha-ding, and will instead be using this as a method of procrastination. That doesn't mean I won't post fashion related things. As fashion is still an interest of mine. This is sort of a chronicle of where the internet takes me/ songs I like (example A)/ things I want/ ranting.

I always hate prada's collections the first time I see them. Then they spend the season growing on me until I love them. Every year.

I don't like Alexander Wang's clothes. Except his smaller label.

Junior year is much harder then expected. For any readers, I didn't forget about my blog! But a lack of time to photostalk on the internet definitely affects it. I discovered that at Powells in downtown Portland, they have foreign magazines. Which is where I saw this ed. Then again, I don't usually have time to go to Powells either.

Birkin

2010-09-26T15:04:00.000-07:00

Today, for the first time in my life, I saw a Birkin bag in the flesh. It was a beautiful red leather with gold hardware. I must've looked ridiculous gawking at it. I wasn't a huge fan of the woman's whole ensemble, but the one bag, perfectly undone and looking casual but very put together and lady like made it just about perfect.

I am always on board with Alexander Wang's accessories, not always the clothes. This season is no different. However, I like all the white with gold accents in the beginning and the pastels he introduced towards the end. And the shoes. They are the perfect spring boot.

style.com

I know I've been neglectful in comparison to the last few weeks. Junior year sucks, and I should be working on an essay right nowl. Expect a massive NYFW post later on.

P.S. Thanks so much for the comments from people. I love reading them and getting feedback on my blog, and if I had more time, I would always comment back :)

I love when Scott Schuman takes photos of people biking. Not only is it "green" but when riding a vintage-y bike with the right apparel, look fantastic. I'm pretty excited to go to college, and ride my bike around campus.

No doubt other bloggers have posted this, but i found it, and i love it.

Also, I was at my local Forever 21, and saw these miu miu lookalikes. Naturally, I had to have them and they are sitting very happily in my closet. A bit of a challenge to walk in, but totally worth it.

Jeffrey Campbell makes look-a-likes

2010-08-28T12:52:00.000-07:00

You're decision. I think the finsk wedges are less aggressive, and I love the pony hair, and plasticy looking part on the wedge with the wood rather then jeffrey campbell's covered suede.

Would I wear them? probably not. However I still think they are gorgeous shoes. If you want to see a girl who can wear them, and other architectural scandinavian garb, check out vanilla scented

WHOS EXCITED!?

A title would make no sense on a post this incohesive

2010-08-26T00:32:00.000-07:00

no idea.... sorry

Some things that inspire me.
1. I love the uneven hem of the top, and the print and fabric. Would love a shirt that looked like that.
2. Pwetty photos
3. Getting into fall colors. I love me some burnt sienna pants.
4. I want to ride my bike around and frolic in the sun. Will need to move away from the 'burbs.

also, very exciting: you may have noticed that I FINALLY figured out a good way to make all my photos the same width.
not so exciting: the camera that I bought a month and a half ago got stolen three or so weeks ago. So for a short glimmer of time, I thought I may be able to become a good blogger, but that dream fizzled out pretty fast. Time to save more money!

Stuck in my head:

Not exactly a fashion post, but Anthony Bourdain has a tv show, and several books. I suggest reading the books, and watching the show, although possibly the best part of the show is the voice that says, "no reservations." (you'll know what I'm talking about) But his humor is entertaining, and always made me laugh.

A great summertime read.

I actually like this trend quite a bit. I also live in my jeans and will wear denim until my death. I was at a thrift store yesterday, and looked a bit for a worthy chambray shirt. I failed, but I also felt really sick. Will probably look again soon.

A love affair

2010-06-27T00:50:00.000-07:00

The huge S-A-L-E letters on the windows of jcrew lured me through their class doors today. The additional 20% off helped me swallow the prices that I would normally NEVER spend, unless my mother was with me. So, for the first time ever, i bought something from jcrew. I have a strong feeling they will definitely not be the last. While items from forever 21 can be fun, and impulse buys, I found some beautiful pieces this afternoon at jcrew. Their clothes bring an interesting delicacy to staple pieces, or just a contrast.

example a) seersucker shorts with zippered pockets

example b) peachy-rosy-burnt orange colored skirt

example c) perfectly creamy, seafoam cardigan with silk edging

Each piece has an interesting quality, (the zippers, the color, the edging) which separate them from similar items, but are simple enough so I can wear them with anything. I have already developed a major crush on jcrew, and can foresee many hours in the future devoted to finding steals on their online store.

Also, you know the aritzia lookbook on studded hearts a while ago that I think we all fell in love with? (THIS ONE) well when I walked through a local mall today I don't usually frequent, and they have a store there! Considering I would fall in love with half their inventory, and my piggy bank would begin to cry, I decided to not torture myself and kept walking. It took a lot of self control.

I got this at an AA rummage sale in my area recently. (the fluorescent one of course) I like one pieces because they are unexpected. While some people think they are reserved for those who aren't comfortable enough with their bodies for a bikini, I think they can often look better, classier?
