Inspiration- The Virigin Suicides

2011-07-25T18:10:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite movies ever is The Virgin Suicides. It has a lovely story, lovely music, and lovely imagery. But I absolutely love the clothing too. The film is by Sofia Copla, and her work always has a dreamy touch to it, something that I love. This film is a huge fashion inspiration for me. It takes place in the 70s....

About the girls of the Libson family....

Narrated by the neighborhood boys who were obsessed with them.

The girls parents are very strict and don't let me out or let them have a normal teenage life.

*Spoiler* So being tired of the being kept in a cage, Cecilia commits suicide.

Leaving the family and the whole town in shock that this family that seemed so happy, wasn't happy. But the girls move on.

Lux, the most sought after girl in the school, grow a crush for the hottest guy, Trip.

When Trip asks Lux to the dance, he has to make sure the other sister can go to. And after much begging, the Libson girls mother lets them go.

But when Lux doesn't come home that night, the girls are punished, leading them to doing some pretty derastic things.

I won't tell you the rest, you have to see for yourself. This movie is for my inspiration for amazing 70s dreamy clothes. It's a must see!

A few days in Paris!-Part 3

2011-07-21T14:46:00.000-07:00

My last post from Paris! I had to go to the world famous Laduree and have some tea and macaroons and buy some things for home.

Went to the largest Louis Vitton I have ever seen in my life! Sooo many stories high! I bought a cute little bag I got to show you later, because I got a new camera!

Then I went to Hermes, and they had this amazing exhibit going on in the second level of the store where they showed you how to made the leather goods. I watched some gloves be made.

Then I went shopping at all the famous designer stores on Avenue Montaigne.

Wore my Rodarte for Target Shirt, Lucette skirt from Australia, B.P. studded flats, and Juicy Couture bag.

And when in Paris, you have to visit the first Chanel boutique on Rue Cambon.

I hope you enjoy these pics. Now I can get back into blogging with my new camera!

A few days in Paris!-Part 2

2011-07-14T13:09:00.000-07:00

Ok, so technology doesn't like me right now. I haven't posted in a week because once I edited my pictures they don't show up in the file. Its hard to explain but basically, I can't edit pictures right now. So I am posting the raw version. They are not the best, sorry. But I did get a new camera that should come soon!

Anyways, in Paris we went to the Eiffel Tower. Last time in Paris we went, but we didn't get to go up it. But this time we did, and it was amazing!

I wore my Rodarte for Target dress, Forever 21 Sunglasses, H&M hat, Brass Plum Flats, and Juicy Couture Bag.

This shadow of the tower was beautiful!

I have one more paris post, with all the shopping! Look for that soon!

A few days in Paris!-Part 1

2011-07-06T17:23:00.000-07:00

I told you guys I was going away, so I couldn't post while gone. But I am back and ready to share about Paris! I will have 3 posts about it, and they are a little out of order of the days I did them but that doesn't matter. So I have been to Paris before so their was no need to do all the tourist things that have been done, this time I went just for shopping, how fun is that!

Paris has a super famous flea market, that if you go to the right part, you will find yourself lost in streets full of vintage treasures.e

Many booths were full of vintage magazines, I brought home 3, which I need to scan for you guys. It was amazing to search through all of the clothes, books, and furniture. It was all extremely beautiful. The market is open on sat-mon form 9-6. It is called clignancourt puces de st ouen. If you go you have to check it out.

I also got a amazing ring that I will show you guys.

Wearing L.F. white lace dress, Black sweater that was my moms but it shrunk in the wash, Vintage fox head belt from etsy, Juicy Couture Purse, and studded ballet flats from Nordstrom.

I'll do the other posts soon. Enjoy!

A little bit Hipster

2011-06-23T12:46:00.000-07:00

When the summer comes along and when I am not on vacation, I tend to dress more relaxed, start to collect tee shirts. Well, I let that come out in this outfit. This is my chill out hipster out, haha. Because I really am a hipster on the inside.
Skirt is Material Girl from Macy's, top is from American Eagle, socks I have no clue, they are old, and shoes are converse from 2 years ago. They are so beat up.

I leave for germany and france in 2 days so I will have some amazing pics, but I am sure a lot won't get posted till I get back because I will be busy, but I will do my best. Love you all, have a awesome summer!

Country Girl at Heart

2011-06-15T13:39:00.000-07:00

First off, let me start off by saying I suck. I said I would post a tonnnn because its summer and then I fall through. Yeah I know, I realllllly suck. And I shouldn't use my excuse as normal that I have been busy, I have been, but its no excuse. Anyways, I give your permission to slap me over the internet if I fall through one more time. This outfit is very chill, I wear it all the time. It's kind of a cute little country dress.

Dress from Asos, Belt and Sunglasses from Forever 21, and the shoes (which are very worn in, I used to wear them like everyday) from Nordstrom.
It's been super hot and sunny, and actually like summer here, as you can tell by the reflection in the sunglasses. There was no way to get a picture of them without getting a reflection, so yes, it was that warm. AND IT ROCKS!

I am going to get my ass in gear and get some amazing posts for the blog this summer. I will have some really great ones from my summer vacation this year, which is, ready drumroll.... Berlin and Paris. Yes, the Family wants Berlin and yes, I want Paris. I have been their before, but I was younger. We are only going to be there for 2 days, but I can't wait. I will not sleep.

All for now, love you all!

Summer and Sretsis

2011-06-02T14:09:00.000-07:00

It has officially been my summer for a week today. I can't say it has felt like it, the weather is freezing and still raining! I can't help but be put down by it, the weather always effects my mood. I was really looking forward to a Summer in the Sun.

Because of the weather, it has me looking back on collections from winter. I really love Sretsis Winter collection from this past year. The clothes are so beautiful, and the way the models are statues is just to cute!

Hope it gets warm soon, then maybe I will be in the mode to post some outfit pics!

Kling!

2011-05-18T19:43:00.000-07:00

First of all, sorry for not posting for like, 2 or 3 weeks! I only have 6 days of school left so this time of the year has been stress, finals, and more stress. Plus, I didn't have the best past few weeks. My best friend kind of told me she didn't want to be my friend anymore so I have been a complete emotional wreck!

Anyways, dying of sitting in school and waiting for summer! Even though it is cold an raining outside this week, I can't wait to wear outfits like these lovely ones that just scream summer! These are my fav pics from Kling, a brand from Spain. Check them out! I will hopefully buy some stuff from here soon!

Anyways, this summer isn't too busy. The big trip this year is Berlin, Brussels, and then Paris for 2 days. I have been before but I was younger and after a lot of begging the parents to go back since we were going to be so close, I got to days. Excited, but 2 days isn't enough.

I probably won't post again until school is over, but this summer I will do a lot with the blog. Until summer....

White Lace and Daises

2011-05-02T20:38:00.000-07:00

Daisies are my favorite flowers, so I had to buy this skirt.

Skirt and Lace top from Therapy, belt from H&M, and Navy blue tank top from Nordstrom.

Jeffery Campbell shoes, I love them even though they are a little too big.

I also got this super cute swallow print bow at Therapy too. I don't care that it is a Miu Miu copy, got to love that print!

The art of Shoes

2011-04-25T18:07:00.000-07:00

I have always thought shoes were the best form of art. I love how some shoes can be a complete form of art on their own. Well, I have seen few shoes that border the line of complete art. But these shoes by Anastasia Radevich. I flipped when I saw her creations. Very high on the list of shoes that COMPLETE art. I hope you understand what I mean when I say that, haha.

They are all completely to die for. I would go to museums more often if this is what they were filled with! All for now.

p.s. If you guys are not following me on tumblr, you should! I am addicted and post pictures like 24/7. It's too much fun over there!

Dace

2011-04-20T11:23:00.000-07:00

Dace! Ahh, I am in love with there lookbook. The style is just summer chill, and that is what I want right now. I have been sitting home for 3 days from my knee surgery, it's only a little better. Check it out, the pics are amazing!

I need to buy something from this site, its hard to sit at home and online "browse" without buying anything. Hope to be up and limping soon!

Classic Sunhat

2011-04-18T17:43:00.000-07:00

Did a mini photo shoot yesterday with some cute new things for spring. I was a little chilled outside, not quite spring yet I guess considering it rained a little today. So maybe soon.

All of these pictures are really cool with the way the light is so I had to post a bunch of them, haha sorry!

Hat from H&M, dress from L.F. in San Francisco, and Christian Louboutin Shoes.

I just had knee surgery today so I will be out for a few days and on crutches and so I won't be able to do some outfit shots for a while. I have the where this weird stocking thing on my leg, haha. Hope you like these pics, they were fun to take. And I reallllly love this dress, its too cute! All for now.

Boutiques on Union Street

2011-04-10T19:54:00.000-07:00

I wanted to check out some more stores in the city, this time on the famous unions street. I found a few cute places. This is Seams Boutique. They have very cute things, and carry Free People, one of my favorite brands!

Next I went on into Chloe Rose. They have very nice pieces that are sooo chic! My heart was taken the moment I saw the Alice in Wonderland book on the self!

And the last store I thought I should share with you guys is this little store called Marmalade, which had a really cute garden theme to it. Perfect to welcome spring, you know, if the weather would become warmer.

My favorite store of the day was LF. They have the best clothes, and the whole store is lined with Jeffrey Campbells, a fashionistas dream! Unfortunately they don't let you take pics in the store, but I did buy a really cute dress that I will show you guys soon!

I wore an Anthropologie jacket, lace dress from Strut in Austin, belt from forever 21, Vintage Louis Vitton, socks from Asos, and boots from Urban Og. Sorry the picture isn't the best.

Lovely Lookbook-Orla Kiely

2011-04-08T12:38:00.000-07:00

Sort of, really, totally, completely in love with the Orla Kiely look book. It is just the kind of style I love for photoshoots. Its the kind of shoot I want to do as a model.

Just a quick post to share this loveliness. Enjoy!

Hayes Valley Shopping with Macaroons

2011-04-06T18:57:00.000-07:00

Its my spring break and I am spending it at home. Me and my mother had a few trip ideas but unfortunately they all fell through. But it is good to have free time to relax at home. So, my mother took me into the city to check out some boutiques I wanted to see. I have a huge list of boutiques in San Francisco I want to go to but today we went to Hayes Valley which has some really cute new and old boutiques.

First stop was Azalea.

Super cute twist on a leather elbow patch, in star form! I love it!

They had some very cute designers including one of my favorites which is Collective Concepts. They have very cute items and use all different patterns, I am very into patterns right now.

Then we went next door to a new store, the name is in the works but they are going by there address right now, Four Twenty Five Hayes Street, and they are a lovely extension of Azalea next door.

They carry lovely brands such as Vena Cava, MM6 by Masion Martin Margiela, and Acne. Lovely items such as this Vena Cava Jacket....

Amazing suede and leather should caps.

Suede and sculpted Acne wedges, at half off!

If you keep going on Hayes for another block, or turn onto the side streets you will run into more cute, small places. We waltzed into this store, which caught our eyes from the old pennies used as tile flooring, called Reliquary which opened up about 3 weeks ago. They had a old southern/mexican theme to them.

I could have bought any of these little bags here. I love how they are arranged and how you can mix and match any of them.

Next stop on my list is the world famous MAC Modern Appealing Clothing which houses new and up coming designers from around the globe as well as some old favorites like Maison Martin Margiela. I loved they plant array I saw first thing when I stepped into the store.

I have always been drawn to floral prints, I just can't help myself.

The lovely sales clerk at the store was telling me a lot about all the different designers they carry and she new a lot! It is always nice to find people out there who are not just interested in selling items but are deeply interested in the fashion and the lives of the designers behind them. She told me about this new designer from Japan called Nooy that they just got in. Every item is one size only. Keep your eyes on this guy because anybody who is going to be anyone in the fashion world starts at MAC.

And for the last clothing store stop was Acrimony. They had some lovely clothing but I was really drawn in by there shoes.

And finally, after a delicious lunch we stopped for desert at the famous Paulette Macaroons. Now I have been trying to make macaroons in these last couple of weeks but have failed. I wanted to try one soooo bad! But I failed, twice, but I will get them right some day! For now, I had my first macaroon at Paulette, and they are amazing!

We took a box home, I mean how could we not have. And lets just say I have already eaten four, I need to lay off for a little and maybe only eat two tommorrow, and go to the gym.

It was fun and we are planning to head in on saturday for a few more stores in another area of San Francisco. But today was a lot of fun, you guys should really check out all of these great stores!

Tutus and Guitars

2011-04-03T15:53:00.000-07:00

I had been sick and just got to feeling better. Took some pics with my guitar and my tutu skirt from American Apearel, Madewell top, vintage fox head belt, and steve madden shoes. It is always so much fun to play around in this skirt.

Waiting for Spring

2011-03-26T11:49:00.000-07:00

So it technically is already spring but not really here in the Bay Area. We have had flash floods and non stop rain for days, not fun at all. I have been dying looking at this years wonderful spring collections from the big designers and the small ones too. They are beautiful. I really love Kelsey Genna's Spring collection. It has a old time feel to it. Check it out!

I love this giant flower bow belt, it is the best!

This dress is lovely, very 50s. I have been in love with the fashion from the 30s-50s recently. I have been recording everything on the Tuner Classic Movie channel. They show some really great films from the 30s-50s. I am currently watching Rhapsody in Blue as I type!

I. Love. This. Shirt. Period. Scalloped collar, that is beautiful. Hope for it to be spring soon, I love the weather we have here when it is spring. I'll be in watching old movies till the weather looks up, then I have a bunch of spring outfits to shoot pictures of!

The First day of Spring

2011-03-21T17:13:00.000-07:00

Waiting waiting waiting for spring! And more like waiting for summer! It has been non-stop rain for a while week, and probably will rain this whole week too. But yesterday it was a little sunny so I went out to take some pics by my tree that finally has some flowers!
Rodarte for Target dress, Donney shoes from Italy, Headband from Etsy. With my favorite book in the world, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the looking Glass. This is the best version, it has background on Lewis Carrol, the original manuscript for the books and much more for the alice lover like me!

This dress is really beautiful. I couldn't love it anymore.

I have to go, I'll post soon again. See you down the Rabbit whole!

The Weather

2011-03-18T13:59:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not posting recently! Things have been going on that we all know is tragic, and now where I am living is having some warnings that are freaking me out. I am sure we will be ok though. I have some great brands to show you guys though. Right now I have to show this picture I saw that killed me of Elle Fanning. I love her and her work but I saw this dress and I said I NEED IT! I have been using my tumblr a lot, so you guys who follow what would have seen that.
So I looked it up on line and found out that it is a Valentino dress, cool. It iwll be expensive but maybe I can save up and swim for it since its not there newest season.
Wrong. It is 4,000+ dollars. I think, unfortunately I will have to live with out it. That makes me sad, but look how beautiful it is! That is all for now. Post soon.

Shaina Mote

2011-03-10T18:22:00.000-08:00

I recently came across this site that keeps leading me towards a bunch or really amazing small designers so I have been checking out all of their collections and I have a few favorites that I am going to share with you guys. The first is Shaina Mote. Her style is very relaxed but very in fashion at the same time. I love it! Here are images from her summer '11 collection titled ::Δ Δ Δ:::Δ Δ Δ:::Δ Δ Δ:: Can anyone decode that? Nope, that is what makes it amazing! Check out my favorite looks from the collection.

Spring Shoes from Solestruck

2011-03-03T16:37:00.000-08:00

I always roam the world of Solestruck. I droll on to my keyboard just flipping through the pages on their site. They carry amazing brands and amazing shoes and there are currently, at least, 100 shoes on the site I want now. Here are my favs for spring (a top some daisies, my favorite flowers). A little trend forecasting for you

Check out some of the shoes, and droll for yourself.

Marchesa Gowns

2011-02-26T11:58:00.000-08:00

More favorites from NYFW. I totally love Marchesa and some of their new gowns are really a piece of art. I would love to have a fairytale moment in one of these dresses. They are white and red, I love both for dress colors. There really isn't anything like a little red dress.

Hope you like my favs! They truly are wearable art and you can't say that a lot now about many clothes. Maybe we will see one of these at the Oscars? Enjoy your weekend!

D&G Spring Summer 2011

2011-02-20T15:37:00.000-08:00

My favorite spring/summer collection is D&G. I absolutely love the femininity and floral prints. I really love floral prints and I love how D&G mixed them. My favorite are the shoes. I would kill for a pair. I have a lot of favorites from the collection so I put them in gif form.

I have just found the joy of making gifs. I will make more in the future for sure! The weather is looking up a little bit, maybe I can get some shoots in this week! We will see.

Make Up and Beauty Post

2011-02-17T17:24:00.000-08:00

I got new camera charger! Yay! So now I can take pictures because me camera isn't dead anymore. But the weather is really horrible, it is raining 24/7 so I need to wait for the rain to end and shoot inside right now. So, I did a mini photo shoot with my favorite beauty products because during the winter when I am stuck inside I really like to pamper myself. It was a really fun shoot, I had great models!

My nail polish, I really only use OPI nail polish. These are my 3 favorite colors, Alice in Wonderland limited addition "Mad as a Hatter", Alice in Wonderland limited addition "Absolutely Alice", and OPI Honeymoon sweet. I have another favorite but it is my sisters, so I don't want to steal it to take pictures or she might get mad.

Make up: I have a lot of makeup, but I took pictures of my favorites. Above, I is Stila Stay all Day felt tip eyeliner. I make my eyeliner cat eye, and very extreme everyday, so Stila is really good for that. Plus it is liquid so it looks sharp but has a felt tip for east application. Then I have my make up forever professional HD powder. It really evens out your sink and I use it for my acting. It is used on sets and for camera a lot to give you a even skin tone. Put it on after your foundation and cover up, only use a little and it works best with a kabuki brush.

Everyday I use at least one of these colors. This is the two-faced natural eye kit. They have 3 cards that tell you 3 different ways to use it. I love the names of the colors too, they are cute!

My other eyeshadow must haves are the Benefit cream eyeshadows. I wear flatter me as a base coat everyday. It is a very light pink/brown. The other two I have are Busy Signal, it is a shiny brown with a gold touch. And the 3rd is Skinny Jeans which I use for my smokey eye, I don't use black eye shadow when I do smokey eyes. Using a shiny dark gray makes it a less intense smokey eye. Just add white in the corners!

This is a lovely sparkle gold eye powder by Benefit. I put it on over all my other eyeshadow. For the red lips, I just use Sephora brand lipstick. I love how it has sparkles in it. I love sparkles in everything.

I have a few favorite perfumes, Ms.Dior Cherie, Channel N5, Ralph Lauren Hot and then Philosophy's Unconditional Love. Honestly, this perfume is smells exactly what love should smell like. It has a very light purple tint to it and it smell is to die for. A bottle is pretty cheap too!

As for lotions and body mists my all time favorite is Victoria's Secrets Pure Seduction. I love that sent and have always have a bottle of body mist of that but they have lotion and shower gel and everything in that scent! Although, Victoria's Secret has a lovely new sent that I got as a Valentines Day gift. It smells lovely, it is called Kissing in Paris, and it is a mix between iris and dew. I don't how to explain it, but it does small like kissing in Paris, if I knew what that was. I hope to shoot some great outfits I have planned, but I need to weather to look up! If not I will try to find someway to take good pictures indoors.

Valentines Day, Oh So Lovely!

2011-02-14T15:55:00.001-08:00

Happy Valentines day! I hope its full of love with your special some one or if your a lone, I hope you have a great time doing things you love! Spend time with yourself, and enjoy being single, like me! Eat some conversation hearts, they are my favorite, the only reason I love Valentines Day.

Cassie Outfit 2 and 3

2011-02-08T19:50:00.001-08:00

Another part of Cassie's outfits that I love is her feminine dresses. She is very small and fragile herself and her dresses are lovely and really show that. I found some matches for two of her cutest dresses yet.

You can get this dress here.

And this one here

And lastly the socks here. I want this outfit so very badly! Very lovely!

Paul's Boutique=Purse Heaven

2011-02-05T12:11:00.000-08:00

So I think technology hates me, I still haven't found my camera charger (I think I am going to buy a new one as I have many things to shoot) and then my laptops touch pad broke, twice, this week so it had to go to the computer hospital and get all fixed up. That's the reason for not giving you another Cassie outfit post, I have a bunch more to put together. BUT, today I want to share with you guys some little lovelies I came across yesterday. Paul's Boutique, aka the place that sells those really cute purses with color popping key chains and zippers. Yeah, it's awesome.
Paul's Boutique is in the U.K. and I found them while looking at Topshop. Topshop sells some of his bags on their site but not too many. I saw the few, loved them, and looked the place up and found there site. Their bags are so cute!! They come in all different colors, styles, sizes, prints, and fabrics. I find them unique (and love them for this) in the way that they have nice bright pops of color. You can have a really good outfit in neutrals but we all know a little colors adds a lot of fun to it. One of these bag with do just that, brighten up your outfit. Here are some of my favorites off the site, but there are many more so I would go check it out if I were you!

The one thing that really stood out when I saw them on Topshop was the kay chains each purse wore. I love it and am going to buy on asap, you can add it to any other bag and add color to it, plus they are cute, colorful, and just so much fun!
You can get Paul's Boutique bags (and jewelry and more) at their website here and you can get some select styles of their bags here at Topshop. Enjoy the color, I hope it brightens up your day! Till next time....

Cassie Ainsworth-Skins

2011-01-31T16:21:00.000-08:00

I real like the TV show skins. No, not the stupid American version but the original British version that was made 4 years ago. I love love love it, and my favorite cast is the season 1 and 2 cast. But my favorite character in the cast is Cassie. I love her personality and her vibe. I just cannot get enough of her. And I think she is the best in the cast. Cassie is played by the lovely Hannah Murray. And her style captivates me completely. I love every outfit they have her wear. I have found a lot of items like her outfits and I will be sharing them with you. Here is one I really love:

Shirt

Skirt

Socks

Her style is quirky and miss match and yet she makes it work perfectly. She wears what she likes, no matter what. She will mix colors and prints and make it work. I am trying to channel Cassie in my style now all the time and I love it. I don't get why some pictures are turning out a little small. I'll try to figure that out, in the mean time.

Lonely Hearts, Little Bandits

2011-01-27T18:10:00.000-08:00

Completely in love with Lonely Hearts new collection Little Bandits.

I really love this collection and the outfit above is my favorite. I want it, right down to the stockings.

I hope to either find my camera charger very soon or get a new one this weekend. I have some amazing things I want to photograph. Until then enjoy the beauties of this collection.

Daisy Made-My Etsy Shop

2011-01-24T17:15:00.000-08:00

So for my huge love of headbands I have been recently making a bunch for myself and so I decided that I should make some and sell them on Etsy. My Shop name is Daisy Made, because Daisies are my favorite flowers! So I have added these four headbands to the shop. I have more but I cannot photograph them yet because my camera has died. I lost the battery charger and have been looking for it for the past few days. I think I need to buy a new one. That is why I have had a lack of posts. I have some great things to photograph but I can't! It is making me very upset.

So go check out my Etsy shop here and buy anything you want, I have a few in stock for each headband!

Plaid Vines

2011-01-17T10:23:00.001-08:00

My L'occitane Candied fruit perfume, I love it and wear it a lot now. I could eat it, it smells that yummy.

My old musical game and a book of come on's and pick up's. It is very funny, my friend made me buy it.

I brought all off these outside to play with.

Wearing old Urban Outfitters tights, Steve Madden Ruffle heels, 4 plaid skirt from bloomingdales, Forever 21 white tank top, Black Lace top from Nordstoms, and Vintage Belt from Archive Vintage in Texas.

This little pin I have on was my grandmothers who passed away. I don't know what to name him, so I want you guys to help me out and comment with some names you think I should call him. Keep in mind his legs dance!

Just been chilling this 3 day weekend, How about you guys?

The Black Swan and Rodarte

2011-01-09T14:16:00.000-08:00

As a ballet dancer I was very excited to go see The Black Swam last night. First of all, I have to say it is a amazing movie. It is gruesome at some parts because Natalie's character goes crazy and does some pretty sick stuff to herself, other wise it isn't bad. So if you think you can handle a little bit of that then you will love the movie. Not only being a dancer being able to tell you have amazing the dancing was, being some one into fashion I can tell you that the costumes are beautiful. I don't know any dancer who would not want to perform in one of these.

The beautiful Kate and Laura of Rodarte did a amazing job designing these costumes, and not just the main white and black swan, but the other dancers costumes and the party gowns.

Absolute beauty that completely captures Swan Lake and the movie. It is a must see, so go see it and drool at the beauty of the dancing and the costumes!

Noir et blanc

2011-01-04T16:02:00.001-08:00

On one of my doors in my bedroom I had a bunch of old pictures that I put up in the 7th grade, I thought it was time to get rid of those and make the pictures more of things that fit my room. So I took some pictures out of my huge file of fashion photos that are mainly black and white to fit the theme of my room. I am not done yet, but for the day I am. Above is what I put up so far.

So I went shopping this weekend with my friend. I told her not to let me buy a lot but of course that slipped through. I did need a new wallet so I decided to head to the coach store, unfortunately I feel in love with something else, and well, I bought it.
Well open the little coach bag and unwrap the coach tissue paper and you get a black sequin wristlet. My friend I was with had got the same one is silver for the holidays and I had seen it (she texted me video) and then all of the colors of them in the coach store in Hawaii. But here, I was convinced and bought it in black. I mean how could I not, I love sparkles!
These shoes below are a great gift I got for the holidays from my mom. I did pick them out and told her I wanted them though. I love the studs, some of them are stars. They remind me of last years Givenchy studded flats.

These are my first pair of Jefferey Campbells, and well I love them! I bought them a a size to large because that is all they had left, but I had to buy them, they are not that big, I put things in the heels and toes so now they fit fine. I had to buy them because they are exactly like a pair I designed, no joke. So I got them.

And lastly, the first headband I personally made in my long collection of headbands. I have soooo many now but I really do this one, the nice white flower on a wrap around elastic headband with the the sparkles in the center.
I am just showing off some of my black and white things, except for the coach shopping bag but I had to take pictures of that too. Heading back to school so I am trying to keep posting as much as can.

An Education in Fashion

2011-01-02T00:32:00.001-08:00

So the other night I had watched An Education with my sister and a few of her friends and I have to say the movie itself was interesting. If you get a chance you should see it, but the whole point and main reason and plot of the film is a little bit creepy. But I enjoyed it a lot. One thing I enjoyed the most was the fashion in the film. It takes place in 1962 in England. The main character Jenny, ends up spending time with a rich couple and a older man who take her many places into there fabulous high society world. And it is lovely. The Outfits they wear are too lovely for words, me and my sisters friends could not help but drool over them and ask, Why don't we dress like this today?

The movie is full of plaid skirts, fitted floral dresses, brocade dresses, and fur coats and pillbox hats. The costume designer did an amazing job. I might just have to claim my favorite era for vintage the 1960s. I loved it the most but it is official. I started to look all over etsy for some wonderful items that are like what is in the film and I think I might just have found some, check them out:

Check out etsy, search your little heart out! They have some great vintage items from the 60's for you. I need to get myself some vintage items from that era. Until then........

When the leaves cover the ground

2010-11-21T18:53:00.000-08:00

Its fabulous, it's fall. Something about running a bouncing and kicking my way though a large pile of leaves makes me feel so peaceful and happy. I love the leaves of fall, they are two beautiful.
I had to stop and take a pictures of these leaves while I was walking with my friend, she is used to me pulling out my camera by now, I take pictures of a lot of things.

This is my 'Ultimate fall outfit'. Well, wearing anything with my cords seems pretty fall to me. I have recently fell in love with cords. I need to get them in a lot of more colors. These are from free people, they fit so well and are soft! I wear them a lot. Worn with a forever 21 tank top, a anthropolgie sweater, belt I stole from my mom, my tall cowboy boots a I bought a while ago from Urban Og, a headband I made, and my grandmothers old Louis Vitton speedy 30 circa the 60's. I am not exactly sure when she got it, it was passed down to me when she passed away so I hardly ever use it.
The headband. I made it out of sparkly craft leaves, and a strechy headband. I have had a recent obsession with headbands and aquired over 12 in the past month, all strechy ones. And yes, I want some more headbands.

A rainbow me and my friend on the avenue. She insisted I take a picture, I wanted to anyways. Enjoy the rainbow!

Convert a Maxi with a Fox head

2010-11-17T21:42:00.000-08:00

I took these pictures a while ago, before the weather got even worse then it is right now, currently raining. I had trouble getting perfect pictures, so sorry if the pictures are not the best.
I had fun putting this together, I turned my Maxi dress into a maxi skirt, the dress is from Beyond the Ally in SF Marina district, vintage fox head belt, tank and jacket from forever 21 and my Christian Louboutains!!

I am so sorry that I pretty much suck at blogging!

Fallsperation-200th post!

2010-10-21T19:28:00.000-07:00

I call this, fallsperation. It is my insperation pictures for fall, duh. They are the lovely colors of the leaves in fall along with hot apple cider, my favorite fall afternoon drink. Well, this is my 200th post, yay!! I have to say, from looking at a ton of other blogs I had hoped to get a further with my reader base by this time from when I started the blog, but I am currently happy about where it is. I got my pictures back from my photo shoot and I will share with you my favorite ones soon, I just have to pick them first. There are 295 photos and I have narrowed it down from that to 65, so cleary for the blog I need to lower that even more. But I am thinking I can do them in maybe different posts. Anyways, as my goal for reaching 200 post, I hope to gain more readers and become more commited to really building the quality of my posts.

My bedroom Redecorated

2010-10-18T17:14:00.000-07:00

So I never bothered to take pictures of my outfits in my room, or even let you see it because it was just so...immature. It has been yellow ever since I was 2 and moved into that house, and in 4th grade I redecorated it and made it all pink and beachy themed. Well, I am older now, and I wanted a room that represented me a lot more then my room looked like. Yellow is my favorite color so I wanted to leave my walls that color. I decided to make it sort of Mod themed, fashion being my main focus, and this is what I got...
The pictures are as best as I could get them, the lighting in my room is very dim, I really want to fix that. So I finally present to you my major project that I have been working on for a while and still could add a few things too, my room.

I really love this table, It is very cute. I got the the Cactus and pot at Ikea, and the cutest little candle holders at Michaels while Halloween party shopping.

This amazing one of a kind table is the best. I bought it on Etsy and the Carving detail is amazing. I cannot stop starring at this every time I am in my room.

Now this picture is definately not the best, the lighting is bad and the tags on my chair are sticking out, I think I am going to cut them off. This is my little cove, with my table, furry white chair, curtain and furry carpet all from PBteen.

Detail shot of the fabric.

My picture frame with some great things. Two Taylor swift greeting cards, I love her and her music and these too cute and meaningful cards. Then a picture of me and my amazing friends from New York this summer.
The wall above my bed with a Ikea picture frame, A shelf I painted from Michaels, and two Anthropologie vases. Again, some amazingly fun pictures I took with my friends this summer in new york. We took about 200 pictures on my computer one Saturday night while we were doing a spa night in the dorms. SO much fun, had to put those memories up.

A picture above my bulitin board. They are some of my favorite drawings by the wonderful Garance Dore. They completely add to the fashion theme I was going for.
The bulitin board I made. I put some of scrapbook paper on the back and then added some of my favorite pictures. All things I love.
My glorious shoe wall that unforunately doesn't fit all of my shoes. I need to squish them all on there and then make another shoes wall.

Above the shoe wall, the bowl I made. With candles and mini birdcages from Michaels and Ikea boxes. And then the mirrors I made, I just put some of the fabric from the bag of my curtains on the back and hung them by that.

Super cute hangers I got at a random store in the middle of nowhere that was just too cute. And I hung them by Antrhopologie wall hooks.
The top of my dresser which I tried to make look organized and match a little bit. I have some of my favorite things on there to show case including this music teaching game that is from the 1790's that I got in the amazing Uncommon Objects in Austin, TX.
My bed. Very comfy. Very warm. This is a lovely duvet cover from Anthropologie and is perfect for the whole room isn't it? I sure do feel like a princess going to sleep in this bed every night.

A better view of the Duvet.
My bedside table, I am not sure what to do with it yet but I will figure out something soon. So that is my room, I didn't show you everything, just the main stuff. I am sorry it took me a while to post, I needed to get this post ready and do other stuff so I really hope to stop lacking. I have some great outfits I got to shoot, and bet I can find some great Halloween/fall inspiration pictures for you all since it is my favorite holiday/time of year. So what are you all going to be for Halloween?

Pattern Take Over

2010-10-07T19:31:00.000-07:00

So I like this new outfit I put together and I feel like I should take more pictures of it later but I took these and they are cute, just not the best. The lighting wasn't very good and all so sorry for their poor quality. But I think you get the jist of the outfit from them.

New dress from Urban Outfitters, blue and black plaid big t-shirt with a tie, very comfy! Tights, I am pretty sure I got them from Urban Outfitters as well, but I got them a while ago so not sure, but pretty sure. And then my "lost" shoes from Free People, the brand is Volitile.
Also, this is a compelty bad shoe photo as well. Sooo it is almost Halloween....MY FAVE HOLIDAY!!!! I don't love it for the candy believe it or not, but I love dressing up and the spooky decorations and stories and things that can go happen on Halloween. What are you all gonna be?

I get some things from my Mother

2010-10-03T14:45:00.000-07:00

So this is probably currently my new favorite outfit, and I know I say that a lot about a ton of outfits, and I know that I say I really mean it this time. I am loving this outfit so much that I am wearing it right now, again.

It was all randomness I thought of before I went to sleep, and then I wore it in a dream and everyone liked it, hahahaha I know, that is dorky. So I had to try it out and WOAH! I just love it, haha. I am wearing my tan lace dress form Strut Boutique in Austin TX, a top from Madewell in New York, a forever 21 belt, My mom's sweater and socks, and my vintage Ann D. cutout boots from Etsy.

Anthropologie's Fall Essentials

2010-09-27T19:39:00.000-07:00

Here are some amazing items that I really want and think that these items are essential for fall from Anthropologie!

It's time for Fall

2010-09-16T14:51:00.000-07:00

I had my monthly B.P. Nordstroms fashion board meeting this week. We talked a lot about fall trends and put together some outfits. One trend we talked about was army. I love army trends! They are such cute items and I need to get more army items. So after the meeting I picked up this army inspired blazer and I got to say I really love it.
So the blazer is from B.P. along with the tank top and the leggings, the scarf is from Topshop, and the shoes are 80%20.

Detail of the scarf, It is really cute and has a bunch of ruffles and threads and is bunched up. I had to get it, it is perfect for the winter here, not to cold. Anyways, it is starting to cool down and become fall, which I cannot wait for.
I love these shoes, I got them from free people. The have a hidden wedge and then bows on the back with tassels. I have a few auditions this week, one tonight so I have to prepare!

Anthropologie Catalog

2010-09-08T18:21:00.000-07:00

I really love the look of this falls Anthropologie Catalog for this fall. Not only do the clothes amazing me and the way they are styled represent pure mind blowing fashion but the them, which I can't exactly make out, is great. I love the images, in the middle of no where surrounded by horses, it is very fairytale-ish. It just makes me happy to look at. What do you all think?

A Italian Girl's Closet

2010-09-06T11:52:00.000-07:00

Today I posed in a very Italian outfit. What makes it Italian you might ask, well, I got every piece of it while I was in Italy this summer. It is quiet the outfit, and I have had no place to wear it yet, but I will find a place soon!
Sequin Vest from Luisa Via Roma, in Rome. They only have to stores in the world and they are one of the capital stores of fashion in the world. I went to both store in Rome and found this one sale, it was still quiet a bit of money but worth it. This item is so cool, I just had to get it. Then I imagined how I would wear it, and got a long tank top for it from H&M in Florence, a leather wrap belt from a street vender in Florence as well, and then Dooney Italian shoes from Rome.
The vest is tan sequins and netting and then has a bottom layer over it painted white. It is just so pretty in the soon and it shines, I really don't have anything like it, and neither does anyone else.

I love these shoes, They are too comfy, I can't even explain. I could wear then all day, every day. They are tan suede, and then have tan elastic straps. I just love them. So I hope everyone has a good labor day! I love having a 3 day weekend, going back to school tomorrow though, and then having a meeting with models inc. turning in my contract! Hope everything goes well.

Nude in the Wild-Contest?

2010-09-02T18:02:00.000-07:00

So I am very happy, I found my camera, and I got a tripod for it, so now I can take pics for the blog all by myself! So that is exactly what I did today! A few other great things that happened are I got my braces off! I bet you guys didn't know I had them because I tried very hard to hid my teeth, but not anymore. And my last bit of good news is that I got a agent for acting and modeling, finally!! So now I a professional model so I am working hard on my poses, these pictures are not the best at all.
So this outfit is very professional, so that goes with my news. I am wearing a nude lace dress that I got in Texas, Necklace from Texas, Vintage Fox head belt, and Steve Madden ruffle heels. It is burning here, like 102° I believe so i had to change out of this because of the heat. It was freezing during the summer, but now I am back at school and it is burning, not fair at all.
I love this dress, the sleeves are very cute and have ruffles, it goes with the heels well that way. I have to say this dress isn't very flattering though, it makes me look a little chubby. And also because of the modeling, I really need to get in shape, like big time.

As for the contest posted below, it was supposed to end yesterday but I had no entrees which makes me upset. Yet I see how that happened as I haven't been posting and most of you guys probably stopped reading it frequently, and I am sorry about that, I am going to do better from now on, now that I have everything I need, and it is going to be better then ever. So for now the contest is open until I have had enough entrees. I'll post again soon, won't leave you hanging again

My current obsession is old movies, my favorites have to be 10 things I hate about you and the Breakfast club and my Favorite bad boy is Heath Ledger as Patrick Verona. Such a amazing character and story. I love the style of them, the ripped jeans, leather jacket, and there attitude of I don't care.

Not just a Label

2010-07-29T16:24:00.001-07:00

I am in New York studding at the New York Film Academy which so far has been fun. I have been here for a week and so far it is had been really great, I am learning a ton. I guess that explains why I haven't posted for a very long time, so yes, I feel pretty bad about it. I hope now that I am settled in I can post more but we will see. I did quiet a bit of shopping today, 6 hours straight in Soho, I will do a post with the things I got but I am currently sick with a bad cold and am too lazy to do that now. So I will be sharing my 5 favorite items for this amazing clothing site called Not Just a Label, what do you all think of them?

Another Design, I actually like

2010-07-23T12:13:00.000-07:00

So as you can see I re-did the blog again, and this time I like it. I know I said that last time but I REALLY mean it. I didn't like the pink so much, it wasn't very chic. I might change the color of the background one more time but for now I like it because it is all the colors of my room! So it is like my internet room. So let me all know what you think. The one thing I like the most is that I could do a a header with pictures of me to make it more personal! Also the tool bard on the bottom is great, and you can click any picture and instantly share it! So I don't want to load you all with videos but this video goes with a great contest that Jennine my boss at IFB and from The Coveted has going on right now. I entered it and I think you guys should too because it is a great contest. Here is the video she made for it. She said it was a ton of fun.
Click here to go to her amazing blog (which I am sure all of guys have read before) and enter the contest. It is really easy, all you have to do is comment. That is all for now, I have to go pack for New York!

I missed out

2010-07-20T16:23:00.000-07:00

I made a fashion video for this contested being jugged by Tavi of The Style Rookie, and as something I would do, I was one day late to submit it, and I spent a lot of time on it. I am very upset with myself so for now, it is just a video for me and now for you all to enjoy. Let me know what you think!

Our heritage, well not mine really

2010-07-12T21:22:00.000-07:00

I was at my friends house yesterday and she is one of my best friends so she understand my love for taking cool pictures in amazing outfits. We always have mini photo shoots at her house and the pictures turn out really great. So like usual, we wanted to do a photo shoot but this time make it a little different with amazing outfits that you wouldn't wear everyday. So what did was go into her mothers closet and looked through her clothes and each finally picked something. I love how my outfit turned out.
I also really love how the pictures turned out. This one above is my favorite, my friend says it reminds her of Alice in Wonderland, best complement I could ever get!
So I am not really sure of what I am wearing here, sorry but they aren't mine. The necklace is my friends great grandmothers necklace, I was honored that she suggested I should wear it. Not sure if this is a dress or skirt I am wearing but I wore the slip higher and the skirt part lower and added the mom's belt. Not sure wear the belt is from but the skirt is from Neimen Marcus. The shoes, which I didn't get the best picture of, are platform heels of her mothers from Steve madden.

Me and my friend both loved are outfits a ton so we dicided we actually do need to wear these out some time. Anyways, I had a really great birthday weekend. I had fun with my friends and family and got some great things for my birthday. My sister got me some Marc Jacobs things which I will have to share later and my parents are letting me re-do my room. I have some of the things now but not all of it and I don't want to show you guys until it is done and perfect, which I am not sure when that will be. I hope you all had a great weekend!

Italian fashion magazine, Flair!

2010-07-06T18:26:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite parts of going to another country is looking at their fashion magazines. In Italy, besides getting Italian Vogue, I got this great magazine that is only in Italy called Flair. I scanned some pictures to show how great this magazine is. They defiantly need to have it here in the US.
They have about 20 pages worth of amazing outfits, maybe even more then that. I love these too pictures, I also very much want that zipper jacket.

I have too say my favorite part of this magazine is there another 20 pages or fashion pictures. They have different designers and each page has a bunch of pictures and is styled differently. O love how they draw he shoes.

So I do have a least one more post of pictures from Italy and I will show you guys very soon. I might not post till next week though because saturday is my birthday and I am turning 15! I am very excited!

The streets of Rome!

2010-07-03T17:38:00.000-07:00

Around Rome itself, with out going to any famous places, Rome is romantically beautiful. All the buildings seem to be be at least 100 years old, yet they don't look grungy, they just fit in there. We stayed in a little street, which here would be thiner then a alley, but in Italy all the streets are very tiny and some have courtyards just like this!
Of course While I was in Rome I didn't just shop, I was there with the family so we all wanted to go all the site seeing place, the Trevi Fountain, the Ruins, the Vatican, and yes we didn't leave without going to the Coliseum.
That was probablly my sisters favorite part, she is a HUGE sports fan of any type and knows more hockey stats then the next guy you will meet from Canada so going to see the worlds first ever Amphitheatre where the sports were held was her favorite part. My main shopping goal was going to the world famous store Lusia Via Roma. There is only one in the world, exclude there outlet store in Rome where I got amazing dress vest thing, and they sell there goods online. I knew I had to go to the actual store and boy was it amazing!

These are some super amazing shoes at Luisa Via Roma. They are gold brocade shoes with studs. Have you ever seen shoes that cool? I must say I do like the tassel on the heels but I would much rather own the flats, never thought I would here myself say that.

The store is just full of too much high fashion beauty. One cool thing about it besides its amazing fashion is that there are stairs in the store that go up to a rooftop cafe. I didn't eat there but it looked great!
They have the clothes grouped together as how they match. This was the most colorful rack which consisted mostly of Versace. It really caught my eye.
Here was a necklace that I liked as well. It has feathers, leather, chains, and what seemed to be bolts, I love random things on jewelry! To let you know, I still could not get all of the pictures I wanted on here but this is a big improvement to the problems I was having earlier. I hope to get all of my site seeing picuters on flickr soon so when that happens I'll give you guys the link to that. All for now, more from Italy coming up. I hope all you Americans had a great 4th of July!

Tech issues

2010-07-03T16:05:00.000-07:00

Hi all. So I seem to be repelling technology today. I was backing up my phone because my new iphone 4 (yippy!) is coming any day and in the mean time it whipped everything off my old iphone. And then I finally got my pictures from the trip on my computer and now I can't get them here on my blog, it just won't work. This is the only picture that came up.
So If you guys wanna be nice and bare with me as I am trying to figure this out then you all rock and are the best readers anyone could ever ask for. In the meantime I am looking for a site like tinypic that will give you a html code for your picture. If you know any comment and let me know, thanks!

I'm Home from Italy

2010-06-30T09:20:00.000-07:00

I am home, and as you can see the internet wasn't the best so I couldn't post while I was away. I have a lot of things I need to catch up on so I am not sure when I can post about the trip, I feel bad about not posting. Anyways, you all know my obsession with Jeffery Campbell shoes, Well Sole Struck got a ton more in and I am freaking out, I want about 6 pairs of them.
These shoes are too amazing, It isn't fair. So like I said I will share my adventures as soon as I can, its nice to be able to post!

I'm in Rome!

2010-06-19T06:58:00.000-07:00

Hi all, So I guess you can tell already by the title of the post that I have landed in Rome. It is very bella here and I can tell I am going to have a great time. I have a few places to go when I get to Florence that I will share with you all. For now I have put together some of my favorite items that have been hitting the street style blogs recently. Enjoy and I'll post again as soon as I can.

Ciao!

It's Called Fashion for your Head

2010-06-15T23:30:00.000-07:00

So I have some funny things I like to wear on my head and well, here they are. Anyways, I am giving you all a heads (haha, heads, get it, the theme of the post) up on my weeks ahead. I am leaving for Italy (yikes!) this friday and am going to be there for about 8 days. I think I will have internet to post, but like always, I am not yet sure, so we will just have to see.
So this is my fabulous headband that I personalized. I saw a headband similar to this on etsy but wanted it a little different. So I sent her a email and she responded very fast and with a great email that had just what I wanted to hear! She said she was going to make a headband the way I asked (I felt a little picky, but you don't want something you don't like, you know). She made the headband very fast, and even made two different versions for me to choose from, and posted them and reserved them for me. I wear this all the time now, It is exactly what I wanted! Check out her really great shop here.
This is a thin scarf of mine, that I tie either around my neck, a bag, and here, my head! I was sooo happy when I found this, It is a vintage Oscar de la Renta scarf, and when I found it I fell in love, and I was looking at it in the store and It still had the store tag on it so it hasn't been worn! It was meant to be so I went ahead and go it. I found it at a local high end vintage shop in my town called Encore, I need to shop there more often, they some really great belts as well.

This last head piece is more to play with then to wear as fashion. I made it myself from old fake flower arrangement from that I made for my friends wedding. I love daisy chains and make them all the time from real daisies and now I maid a permanent one, haha, its funny but I love it. So I might do another post before Italy, but we will see. Ohh I forgot to add on the last post that my signature is handwritten on my computer pad, not type, it makes it more personal.

What Suits? Wet Suits!

2010-06-13T16:14:00.000-07:00

One thing I love in the summer is the swim suits. Of course I always fall for those high fashion ones, ones I know I won't want to get wet or dirty at the beach or pool, so I don't buy them, I spend the money on shoes instead as you all well know. But I came across this site of a brand from Australia (you all know I love Australia fashion don't you?) There suits are all prints and all cool, The brand is call We are Handsome. Does this suit remind you of anything?

Yes, it does look like it could have been designed by Christopher Cane. They are all pretty cool, some are animals and some are just random. I saw some other cuts of there suits (ex. a Bando top) on another site but I can not seem to find them on there site. Those were very cute as well.

This one below is my favorite! I would buy this, wear it amazingly, and get starred at and love it! These suits are over the top but sooo cool as I mentioned, what do you all think?

As I mentioned 2 posts ago I am trying to do a signature at the end of each post. Well I think I have a good one for now. Check it out, it's cute!

Another mood board, It's an addiction

2010-06-13T13:24:00.000-07:00

Ok so I am now a little addicted to making Mood Boards and I had to make another one. I need to take a break though, I need to start getting ready for Italy and doing work for IFBr instead of gluing my face to my computer and working photoshop to death. Here it is though, A bit brighter then my one from yesterday that is below.
Again we are going from the top left to right and them down. We have a Harpers Bazaar from 1943, a Vintage Seventeen Magazine (this is the first vintage seventeen mag I have seen, strange but cool) from 1949, A dress by Courreges from the 70's, A Marry Quant make up set from the early 70's, Vintage YSL blue platform pumps (cannot find the date, sorry!), A picture from Vogue March 1950, One of my favorite vintage models Penelope Tree in the 70's, Peggy Moffit in the 70's, Vintage swim suit add (cannot find the date, sorry again!), And lastly my favorite model from the 70's Jean Shrimpton. What do you all think?

Mmm Mood Board

2010-06-12T18:43:00.000-07:00

Here is a mood Board I made, I have just figured out how to put photos into blogger to make them bigger, I take high res photos now with my camera and I want them to show up nicely one here. Although I made this on photo shop, but it still looks good larger, the way I made it to be!

So here is what is in the mood board, first off it is partially colors and black and white because my mood is changing all the time, i am not sure why though! Ok so from the top left we have a picture from the 60's of the model Natalia Vodianova, next is a vintage american vogue (can't figure out the date though, sorry!), Vintage red Chanel bag, Junya Watanabe skirt and top from 2000, Fashion polaroids, Vivienne Westwood coat that I love from 1994, a collection of fashion books, Two of my favorite models of all time first is Celia Hammond circa the 60's as well as Donna Mitchell also from the 60's, and lastly some vintage Vivienne Westwood super high spike platforms, sooo cool! Enjoy the mood board. I am going to work on improving the blog EVEN more then last time so bear with me if things are messed up a little for a second. One fun thing I am adding is my signature at the end of a post!

The Scarlet Room

2010-06-11T13:23:00.000-07:00

While scooping through the blogosphere and reading a bunch of blogs I came across this great online store with some really cool items called the Scarlet Room. They have a bunch of really cute items that I want to get. I am leaving for Italy in days and I want to save my money for some Italian shoes. So check out the site, they have really cute stuff. Also sorry I have been a little slow on blogging, I hope that I will be able to blog in Italy.

Colors of Summer

2010-06-06T10:40:00.000-07:00

From the high fashion runways to wearable bright outfits, I give you what I call, the colors of summer....

Last day in Austin!!

2010-06-01T12:44:00.001-07:00

My last day in Austin was jam packed, hot, and super fun!! Did I mention this amazing mural on a wall I found!! This could be a postcard.

I love posing with weird things, this sign was by the wall. Who could pass up taking some shots on this?
Outfit is my new shirt from Strut, forever 21 belt and skirt (which I got a complement on, those always are nice), and my BP cowboy boots. Anyways, we went many places, one included the last store on my list that was a little ways out of town, it is called Beehive. They decorated the store sooo cute!!

They had a super cute summer display on the center table, I love the vintage lemonade and pictures. Below is a close up of the detail of my new shirt. Sorry for sort of out of order pictures, this is the best I could come up with.
Picture above is from the Botanical Gardens in austin. It was sooo pretty there, they had the cutest Japanese Tea Garden.

One place that I knew I had to go to for sure was this place I read about online, the Cathedral of Junk. It is basically a castle of junk built in this guys back yard. He opens it for viewing on the weekends. It is a statement of how much we throw things away. It is sad and very cool in the same way.

When walking through it you can find sooo many cool and funny things, it makes it a little more sad though. Pictures is from underneath walking through a passage. The last place we went was the Oasis Restaurant, yes we gave in to the tourists in us. It is this amazing restaurant which is HUGE and can seat over 2,000 people. There attraction is that they are on the lake and the have built a ton of the decks down the side of the cliff so you can eat and watch the sunset, it was cool. Well I am already missing Austin but I am happy to be home and I get to go to work this week, yay!!

Austin Day 2

2010-05-30T15:19:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was mostly about shopping and it was really fun. We planned on going to the Buy definition store but it didn't open till later on sunday so me and my mom went into this store near by called Strut and fell in love!!!! They have a few rooms full of clothes and shoes and bags and jewelry. I got 5 things there, haha.

My outfit for the day, forever 21 white tank top, Lace eyelet crop top from Urban Outfitters, Lucette skirt from Australia, Steve Madden shoes, and my new gold leaf belt from Feathers Vintage.

It has been sweltering hot, very Texas, so I felt like pictures by some cactus were needed. Next we went closer to down town and stopped at Toy Joy, it is a huge toy store for all ages and has about 4 rooms full of neat stuff.
A lot of the toys are from different places, and these are some. It also has a little cafe, in which I got my favorite Japanese soda, it is the kind where you push the glass ball into the bottle to get the soda to fizz, it's very yummy! We also had the weeks flavor of vegan fro yo, orange cream.
One of my favorite sections is the room with all the animals, they had a bunch of different sizes of different cool animals. But I have to say my favorite part of the store is......
There wall of Z wind up toys!!!! I flipped over this and spent time looking through it, they have almost every single one. I only got two though, I had to save some money and I think my mom would have been upset if I bought a lot of toys, haha. So I just bought two.
And then I bought some babies, I mean who could resist these. Later we went to some more stores, and then to dinner at Mothers Cafe and Garden, a Vegetarian restaurant which was perfect because me and my mom are Vegetarians. All for now.

Austin Day 1

2010-05-29T16:06:00.001-07:00

Well yesterday was my first day in Austin and may I say it was awesome! Me and my mom arrived at the Hotel San Jose.

It is very cutely decorated and sooo pretty, I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else, and its right by great stores.

For my frist day out I wore a Maxi dress from Beyond the Ally in San Francisco, Necklace I made, Steve Madden clogs, and forever 21 hat.

We first stopped in this cute store called By George, they have some cool high end labels.
I loved the way they had the jewelry set out, it i sooo cute!
Then we headed to Uncommon Objects, It is the most amazing vintage store you would ever go into. It is rooms and rooms and rooms of amazing vintage things, I mean everything you could think of. They don't let many pictures though, so I didn't want to show any. I got the cutest vintage music game from 1863!

One thing I really wanted to get in austin was cow boy boots, but I already have some, so we just peaked into Allen's boots, and oh my god, There were a million boots there.

This is my friend Bob, he lives on the wall onto the way to Feathers Vintage.

I got the best belt here, and I wore it today, you guys will see it later.

Then me and my mother went to the Woodland cafe. They have really good food and really great pie.

Post from today later!

On my way to Austin!

2010-05-28T06:54:00.001-07:00

I am leaving in a few minutes with my mom for....

Packing for Texas

2010-05-26T15:18:00.000-07:00

Well it is summer for me in 1 day or you could say 2 hours. I have my last final exam tomorrow, it is spanish, and then friday I am leaving for Texas with my mom!!!! My finals are why I have been a little busy and didn't post to often. I am sooo excited, it seems like a great way to start the summer. I am also happy because it is surprisingly cold here. Normally around now, and even at the begining of May, it is really hot, mostly in the 80s. But it has been freezing and raining, around the 50s and 60s. It isn't normal and it definately doesn't feel like summer.

My puppy Rookie came up to my room with the to start packing. Of course he didn't really want to help and went on my bed and messed everything up. He falls asleep with me every night there so I think he believes that it is his bed also. I don't really care though. So this is the first time I am taking pictures in my room for you guys. It isn't the best place to take pictures, it is always a little darker, messy, and I decorated it back in the 4th grade. I get to re-do it this year for my birthday though, so it is only gonna be like this for a month and a half more.
I packed all the clothes I was going to potentially wear, which is a lot. Then I piled my 6 pairs of shoes on top (not enculuding the pair I am going to wear on the plane, but those are for comfort). I wish I could take another suitcase for just my shoes, it was hard narrowing it down to 6 pairs. I think my suitcase is two big for three nights, but oh well!
My jewelry is a mess and all tangled. This is just a small portion of it that I had to go through.
Found some great items that I forgot I had. These are just a few. By the way, I hate my carpet in my room, I have always wanted wood floors, they are so much more elegant. So like I said, I can't wait for summer and Texas. Can't wait to go!!!!

Camera testing 1-2-3

2010-05-20T20:03:00.000-07:00

So I got my camera in time, 8 days till Austin! I was testing it out in my backyard. The camera is a Kodak Easyshare IS Z712. It is very great and very professional.

May backyard is a HUGE over grown jungle. We have a creek next to it and no matter what we do the plants over grow way to to much and it is a huge mess. This is what I saw when I was trying to get back there. Anyways, I would like to introduce you to my other collection (besides shoes). It is these very cute wind-up toys, I am in love with them. They are Z Wind-ups and you can buy them online if you would like. Here they are!
This is the gang, they are small for now but I hope to build a band with the monkey, they make about 4 more band members to go along with him that I want.
This is Goober, a crazy cute pincher bug. He waddles and clamps his little yellow claws together. He really likes attention and and blue things.
This is Alice the Caterpillar, She inches forward like a inch worm. She loves spending time in Wonderland and hiding in leaves till someone finds her.
This is my buddy El Tigre, he does flips! He loves caffeine because it hypes him up even more and hopes to have his own trick show someday!
This is Rapunzul, she hops and gallops with her front legs. She love shiny things and people who will pet her.
This is Ronnie, his job is to bang symbols together while marching in his marching band. He loves all music and practices day and night. I hope you all like my little friends, I think I am going to make a movie of them. Sorry for no fashion in this post, I thought these guys deserved my cameras first photo shoot.

Summer Swim

2010-05-17T18:59:00.000-07:00

Its getting to be that time of the year that we all love, summer! Even though the weather here had been crazy cold and it is STILL raining, which isn't likely at this time of year, it is going to be my summer in 12 days. I need a few new swim suits so I looked online and here is what I like/

Suits by Betsy Johnson, can be purchased online at Bloomingdales. I love the cute retro shape of the pink suit and the flower print of the other.
A vintage-y suit by Juicy Couture also from Bloomingdales.
Marc by Marc Jacobs top that you can mix with different bottoms, I would like it with the same print one the best.
I am not really the biggest fan on one pieces but if they are cute and you can rock them with style I say go for it! I love these ones by Marc Jacobs.
Of course you need a cover up, Here is a classic swim one by Marc Jacobs.

Another by Diana von Furstenberg.

Another cover up by Diana von Furstenberg, now I would just buy this one as a dress. I hope it becomes your summer sooner then it becomes mine!

Shoes shoes shoes to Share share share

2010-05-11T17:55:00.000-07:00

I do have a lot of items that I have not shown you guys because I did not have what I considered a "perfect outfit thats blog worthy". Well I have had these shoes long enough and pass them in my room and house a lot and I decided to share them with you plain, no outfit attached.

Sandals are Witchery from Australia which I mentioned when I got them, Cowgirl boots that were a gift from my mom for the holidays that are BP from Nordstroms, and 80%20 hidden wedge boots which I shared and lusted over a while back. The new umbrella is from Victoria's Secret, the one in the City Mall gives away a lot things with purchases so keep your eyes open!

I was really happy that I had paid enough for this umbrella. I love the curvy top with a tall point, very french, very cute.
My short cowboy boots, you have all seen my tall ones. I am having trouble picking which pair to take to Texas, I am not sure how many shoes will fit in my suitcase!
My Australia Witchery Sandals, they have a great double ankle wrap.
And last, the 80%20 hidden wedge boots from free people. I shared these a while back like I said, saying how much I wanted these and how in love I was, but they were a little more then what I normally would spend on shoes (I would spend as much any amount but my mom won't let me pay that much). I check the Free people site very often and noticed that they were on sale on the site for a much lower-then-original price so I pounced and could not be happier.
The hidden wedge makes me look much taller without people knowing, I like that! It is also easier to walk in compared to other wedges. I love the chain and leather lacing up the shoe, it ends in a very cute bow in the back with fringes. Hope you liked my hidden treasures!

Happy Mothers day-I love you!

2010-05-09T11:48:00.001-07:00

Today is the day to celebrate mothers, and I would encourage you to have a good day today with your moms. This is to mine. Mom, thank you so very much for everything you have done, for making me a happy baby.

Bringing me and my sister up and giving us all the chances anyone could ever ask for. We would love to thank you for that.
Also thank you sooo much for letting me express my style at such a young age.
Apparently I had a real eye for it.

And thank you sooo much for getting my that puppy I wanted 3 years back. You take care of both of us sooo very well.
And now you have let me blossomed into the best person I could be, thanks so much for that.
Mom, I love you, I hope you have a happy mothers day!!!!

Rope me up!

2010-05-06T20:32:00.000-07:00

I have lately been very interested in finding a lot of good jewelry which inspired my last post. Here is another one for you. This is great jewelry which a lot of it was made from ropes which was almost the material used in the last collection. They are made by Jaclyn Mayer. Check out my favorite pieces from there 2010 fall collection. I love and want them all!!

Mhhhh Triian

2010-05-02T13:53:00.001-07:00

I came across this great site that had only one of a kind pieces called Triian. The pieces are mad of stone and are painted a little and have jewels added. I really love how you can see the naturalness with the blingy-ness (I don't often use the word "bling but it was appropriate here"). Here are may favorite of there one of kind pieces (I love the rings the most!!)

Anyways I am flipping out because I am going to Texas in 27 days, yes I am a dork, I count down the days. I can tell this trip is going to be amazing, I picture me and my mom in texas about ever 2 minutes. We have our flight, and are reservations and the perfect hotel, and the list of the best places to go!! I am very excited to have some Tex Mex as well. Counting down the days!

Fashion TwitUp Conference

2010-04-29T21:17:00.000-07:00

I had a really great time and learned a lot of great stuff to help my blog but I am going to take some time to work on it. Here are some pictures taken before the conference:

Where the panel sat. They did a really great job!!!!
Some ladies who arrived early like me, we got to talk a little, nice people.
Here is the panel. From left to right: Mignon, Jennine, Marie, Michelle, Erin, and Laura.

Before we began the conference. So I made this little video as a gift for my fabulous boss Jennine, I hope you like it! It is what Jennine spoke about at the conference for all you who missed it! Note: this is the smallest imbed, so to see the video check out this link here.

Street Style Obsessed

2010-04-27T20:08:00.000-07:00

As you guys all know I am working on my graphic skills, I may have said this a thousand times already, sorry. Anyways, this time I tried it out with some of my favorite street style pictures from Style Clicker. I love street style, you know getting the chance to see people in your life with awesome outfits. But I don't live right in the city so I can never really see it but I always have wanted to document it, maybe some day. Here are my favorites:

I am super excited because tomorrow night I am going to my first blogger conference where my new amazing boss, Jennie from The Coveted and IFB, is speaking and asked me to come. I get to meet up with other great fashion bloggers and I can not wait! I will hopefully have pictures and let you know how it was, like I said, I can't wait!!!!

Ever heard of OAK?

2010-04-23T20:06:00.000-07:00

I don't remember how I came by this site called oak.com but when I saw it I was very happy. They have really cute labels that are hard to come by so I was happy and took time to look through it. Here are my favorite pieces:

Shoes by United nude. I love how the heel is way lower and isn't full, I haven't ever seen a shoe like this after all my shoe research.
More great shoes by United Nude.
I have to say I am really loving real wood on shoes, and the leather really bring it out. Shoes by LD Tuttle for VPL.
More shoes by ID Tuttle, I love how the leather almost looks soft, I bet these are comfy!
I have been searching around for some good pants as I tend not to wear them that often. I really love these ones and am considering getting them, what do you guys think? By Harmon.
Also by Harmon is this really cool shall, It is leather that is distressed, which I love, and even looks burnt in some places. It is a really great style that not everyone likes but I am a fan!
Studded wide belt Gestuz.
Studded bag by Clafin, Thayer and Co. The way the studs are arranged sort of remind me of the british flag, funny.
I love the sole of these, man are they cool! Great shoes that would look even better on me ;) by Camilla Skovgaard.
I love animal accessories so I am a fan of this ring. Made by Bing Bang by Anna Sheffield.
As all my readers know I love shoes, so don't be surprised that I have shared a lot of great shoes in this post. These are by Ash.
And of course shoes by Acne. I love how these lock at the top, normally you see this type of lock on a purse, but shoes, yummy!

I am very excited because this week I am going to my first fashion blogger confrence! My new amazing boss Janine of The Coveted is speaking so I can't wait to hear and hang with her. I will let you know about it, for more info follow me on twitter (which I am trying to make better). I am @instantlyruby. All for now, check out the amazing oak.com.

At the Marina ft. Mom (and a lot of pics)

2010-04-18T18:15:00.000-07:00

So we went down to the Marina in San Francisco today to check out some cute little shops on my list.

This place is called Simply Chic, They have very cute jewelry and accessories.

Next we went over to this boutique that is called My roommate's Closet. They had some really cute cowboy boots that I wanted to get for when I go to texas! I can not wait.
Then we stopped in this store called two skirts. They had some really cute things, I was even getting my mom interested in things like Missioni.

The had the neatest dome ceiling that was silver along with really cute Chandeliers.
We then stopped in the cutest sweet shop that was completely decorated for spring. They put there candy in boxes and decorated them with flowers on top. Too cute!
They are called sweet dish and had this cute little chalk drawing in there store.

The last store we stopped at was called Beyond The Alley. I bought something I have always wanted but never thought I would buy, a Maxi dress for Texas. I always thought I was two short for them but this one worked and it is just so cute, you guys will see it later.

I wore my....
Vintage Fox head belt, this is sooo cute. It is a little hard to see all the detail in the picture. I have always wanted an animal belt, something like a Christopher Ross one, so when I found this on etsy, I fell in love and bought it right away!
Worn with my Taffeta skirt from Urban Outfitters, Lace zipper back top from Urban Outfitters, Juicy Couture purse, Vintage gold necklace from Atlantis Vintage, and new Steve Madden Clogs.
Remember me sharing a picture of these clogs from Bloomingdales not to long ago proclaiming my love to them. Well I could not resist and bought them and could not be any happier. They rock and are sooo comfy!
So here is my mother, you have never seen here before. She has never been into fashion or anything but we recently went to our local Nordstrom where I got her to buy some cute clothing (well, cute for her anyways) for once. I like this top, she likes it too. Well thats all for now.

The intern

2010-04-16T19:22:00.000-07:00

Here is a really quick short post but really big news! I am sure you all have heard of the fabulous community for fashion bloggers IFB (independent fashion bloggers). Well they are based here in San Francisco and I was emailing back and forth with the wonderful creator Jennine of The Coveted about an internship for the summer and I got it! I am starting off slow because my school isn't out yet but I am very excited to have this opportunity. Check out there site and become a member if you are not already!

note: The site is down for a few days because we are switching servers due to high traffic, that is good. It should be up in a couple of days!

Mixing it up

I did a little more photoshop fun with my favorite pieces from amazing designers. It took me about 3 days to do all of this, but it was fun. I need to find more things to add to my photoshop, I only have the graphics that it came with so I need more to work with. I love with this items, check them out!

Around the town part 2

2010-04-10T15:07:00.000-07:00

Part two of my photos of running around town. So here I am at my local Ralph Lauren. It is very classic Ralph Lauren with there decorations and everything.

They had a wonderful display of really cute sort of western items that were tan and red.

Next there is this great store which I am sure some of you must know called Jigsaw of London.
I have to admit my favorite part of the store was there amazing picture display behind the cash register. This is just part of it.
They had some shelfs with really cute stuff.
And my last stop was this store which I am sure you guys also know called Loft. They had some really cute Blumarine things.
Well that is all for my around the town. Today is my last day of spring break, going to see my favorite singer Taylor Swift with my friends! I can't wait! How was all of your breaks?

Around the town

2010-04-07T21:30:00.001-07:00

Today I took some time to be with just me and visit some of my farvorite shops in my little town on my amazing avenue.

Willa Home, the little whimsical home store. They have the best stuff that is vintage, I am redoing my room soon so Willa Home and Anthropologie will be a must go to place.

They decorated the best and almost everything in the store is for sale. They have beautiful smelling incents on the coolest vintage shelf for sale.

These little guys are sooo cute! I want them but they don't really go with my kitchen. I don't think gold and diamond salt and pepper turtle shakers go with many kitchens but they are sooo cute, I love the little couple.
Next I stopped at a store we have called Morning Glory, they sell really unique clothing by a ton of brands that you probablly have never heard of.
I loved the medal chest they had in there sale room!
Then I stopped in a new furniture store that I had never been to before. It is called Haven. They had some very great stuff in there including weird pillows with funny sayings.
The owner has his little dog running around the store. He quickly came up to greet me and then followed me around the rest of the store to help take pictures.

They have cute little mini rooms set up. More of the funny pillows, I would so have these in my house.
I then went to a store I had only been to once which is horrible because I should there more often. It is called Encore and they are a high end designer vintage shop. They have some really amazing things crammed into there store.
I loved a ton of the belts on there belt rack but I just bought a vintage belt so I had to hold myself back. I did buy a really cute vintage Oscar de la Renta scarf that I will share with you guys later.

Oh my Texas

I am very excited for two reasons, number my spring break just started. Now I don't really know if you can call it spring break because it is freezing here and I am going to chicago for a few days to see family, it is also freezing chicago so it's not really spring break. The second reason is because I talked to my parent's and this summer I get to take a small trip to Texas!!!! I am going to austin and possible Marfa and I couldn't be happier. I was looking online about Marfa and I sure all you fashionistas have heard of Marfa Prada.

This is Marfa Prada, on a dirt road a few miles outside of Marfa, TX. Prada decided to open a small store in Marfa, I don't think that it is open much but it is more of a museum.
It is a landmark. I mean if I go to Marfa I have to go here. It is just sooo cool!!!! I have heard rumors that it is closed, it has moved closer to another town named Valentine and that it is still open. We will have to find out which it true.
They mainly sells shoes there, but this is about it. Like I said I really love this little Prada, the idea was sooo amazing and cute. Can't wait for Texas!!

I say Yum

The new Chanel collection for the fall already. It is very wintery and I love these looks. A ton of fur which I seem to like, even on the last picture with the fur skirt. So sorry I haven't posted for a while I have been a little busy. I have got some new shoes and skirts, a taffeta one might I add, and will take a few outfit pics when they come in the mail. I can't wait. Check out the Chanel looks.

I am completely in love with the new Jeffery Campbell collection. I want to get a pair but the only online site that sells these are sold out! They say they will get some more in soon, you can get them at solestruck. Here are my favs.

These ones are my absolute favorites. I want these the most and hope they go back into stock soon!
These are my second fav. Other things I am obsessing with right now or coloring books. I got the Doodles by Taro Gomi book in the mail today and I am in love. It goes along with my fashion coloring book. Also I love this song called On the Radio by Regina Spektor, super good. Anyways what do you guys think of this collection?
