the one with the italian @ 12/8/09

Just to mention: How adorable is this girl?! The photo above, with her Barbie pink bag!? It's like the perfect feminine piece to go with the blazer suit, which by the way is something I need to get my hands on. Maybe I'll have to buy an extra large Men's blazer and then alter my way down while keeping the length? It's the only thing I could think of...
3rd look with the sailor strips and bell bottoms, to die for. That's an outfit I'm so envious of because I know I could never pull it off! 5th photo, her stance is weird and makes her look old or like a young Coco Chanel, I know that doesn't make sense... but in one way she looks like Coco Chanel there and in the other she looks like a hunchback! I'm so weird.


It's crazy how she can go from the whole youthful, causal look and step into dresses like these and show off a completely different persona. Elegance at its' best.


I'd like to get a pair of those snakeskin trousers (last photo, above).


I'm surprised this is my first time seeing those boots (the ones with the floral design).. although I cannot be 100% sure they are not tights. Lovely, and if they are boots, who are they from?

I don't know anyone that can pull off yellow pants like those, that aren't even skinny jeans (but even the yellow skinny jeans I have seen are not flattering on the people that I've seen wearing them), and those yellow shoes, really amazing! That's when you know you're a true fashionista, when you can pull off the most outrageous colors/styles and make them look... like everyday wear and if you can manage to wear the same colored shoes with the pants- that's just a double star! The last photograph (orange-red dress) is exactly what I am talking about, this Italian sexiness that always prevails. She's almost completely covered up and she looks stunning! Lucky girl.

the one with the ostrich @ 12/7/09

what a fricken beauty. i've never really been into bags like these (the ones with the weird textures). a few of my aunts had/have bags with that weird dot texture and i always thought it just looked kind of disturbing... this bag has changed that all. Chloe oversized Ostrich textured leather duffel bag in sand. There's only three bags I want right now: the Givenchy black oversized from last season, the Proenza Schouler satchel (in my last post) and this chloe! its over $1,000 sold at intermix (and probably other places as well). I just know that it is 866.72 Pounds at Intermix in London... I think this would make a great christmas present wink*
I've finished my fashion design project for this term hallelujah! i actually finished everything at 7pm last night, yay for no procrastination. but then I had an essay to write for cultural studies... thats where it got bad. I started the essay (and reading 9 books) at 10pm. I ate dinner, then a snack, watched Glee, and then at 1pm started the essay for real. I continued writing until 6am. I am currently at school waiting to hand in the damn thing, I can't wait to get all of this stress off my back! Going out tonight to celebrate all my hard work with some of my friends, pretty excited about that considering I've been a hermit this entire weekend working! xx back to new york one week from today, i hope it's warm. although, that's doubtful.

furnished @ 12/5/09


left to right: chloe leather tote with chain link; proenza schoulder large croc satchel; givenchy large glazed nightingale; YSL crumpled nappa leather bowling bag; jpk paris pleated satchel; marc jacobs laser flash full shoulder bag

oh how i dream of these bags upon my shoulder. especially the proenza! which is $14,500... the cost of a car, so that bag is definitely just for looking! arg.
i finished my garment for volcom today! and doing a mini photoshoot tomorrow. i'm not much of a photographer so we shall see what happens. i've just got a few more things to finish up... actually to begin. this whole weekend is such a bummer because of all the work i have :( on weds, i've been invited to a vip blogger swishing party at a venue in soho, really looking forward to that! oh and i started watching nip/tuck today, i don't think i like it? i might try another episode... but it kinda freaks me out, especially the whole prison thing. anyways, back to work and eating junk until monday!

xx

lost @ 12/3/09

I haven't gone anywhere, just super busy with schoolwork until Monday!!! Well actually Tuesday will be my last hand-in, but Monday it is! I've been super stressed out lately, living off of bite size pizzas, chocolates, jammie dodgers (i just bought a twin pack and finished it in 2 hours), candies, and water. Did I mention I was stressed? Total weight gain, face is breaking out- basically everything related to being stressed. It's horrrrribbbblllleeeeee! So yeah, I just thought I'd do an update post on my current well-being.
Now back to sewing and pasting random pictures on random papers. !! great.

inspirational photos to last me this week. just cooked enough food tonight to last me at least the next 5 days... i always do a mass amount of cooking like this right before my hand-in because i know i'm not going to have time to cook&eat. so at least now i just have to microwave&eat. my stress level is at about 6, which is particularly low considering how much i need to do this week. by weds i expect it to reach 9.. and by friday if i'm not a full 10 then i must have already died. *knock on wood. this is the first term that i haven't procrastinated, yet i still have so much work to do... my god, can you imagine if i had procrastinated!? like i usually do.

went to showstudio at the somerset house which is on until dec 20th... it's all about fashion, the internet, and the media; it was really interesting and i promise to get photos up as soon as possible. of course i was so pressed for time i didn't get to enjoy all of the art.. i'll have to make time to go again. hmm... i just realized i need to do a color board. my stress level has gone up by .5 i am now 6.5 yay me.

happy slapsgiving @ 11/26/09

hehe this image always makes me giggle.
aw man I kind of wish I was home for t-day... I miss the cranberries, turkey, stuffing (omg I love stuffing), I miss everything. This is my second year not celebrating t-day because I live in London and here we do NOT celebrate t0day, I repeat... the British do not celebrate T-day, it's only in America. I'm just repeating myself for everyone that asked me if I was coming back home for t-day...
all day today while I was thinking about turkeys and all things delicious, I had school. And I sewed all day... bought some cookies and milk to make myself feel better... and watched How I Met Your Mother 'Slapsgiving' again. Somehow I had time to watch it when really I should have been working. The next 10 days are going to be mental.

tough love @ 11/25/09

JLo has the brooklyn ring... and I want it too! It comes in gold as well, but I think the gold one looks a bit tacky. And how adorable is pete?!


below: Rihanna actually has that 3 spike ring and she wore it with two... fierce.
The Alexander McQueen one is so funky, love the gems in the mouth and eyes & head...

This is to die for. Okay, not really to die for... but at $215 I think it's actually pretty cheap because it looks like it could be in the thousands. Can you imagine wearing that with a big chunky mens watch? MaryKate/Kate Lanphear, I think yes.

I am not really a big jewelry person, I have- but I don't wear. In the summer it's annoying to put on because well when it's humid and hott you just don't want anything extra on you. And in the winter all my necklaces and bracelets are cold to the touch, so the thought of putting it on my skin makes me cringe. Therefore, the only time I will wear jewelry (unless I think it is necessary for an outfit) will be in the Spring or Autumn. I'm weird. x
