Perfection is not the word...this is way beyond perfection.

i have been wanting for a long long time...<3

BCBGirls Geblyn in Sorbet Patent or Pool Patent

Just something about the shininess of it and the watery blue or bright orange (orange is my favorite color) makes me drool. I don't even know why, but I NEED NEED NEED it. Ok, fine...WANT WANT WANT it.

ny fashion week

Salut mes amies!

FASHION WEEK!!!

Ok, so maybe some of the fall 09 collections were not so exciting, and rather disappointing, but there were some that were absolutely fabulous!

What I liked about this fashion week: I loved how some of my favorite designers--Erin Fetherston, Marchesa...etc--didn't disappoint me at all. They just sort of improved on their past collections. Here are a few collections I actually did like.

Erin Fetherston was just as I expected, but better. Her fairy princess signature style was there, but with a darker twist to it. I loved it. Only thing that bothered me was that a few of the looks reminded me of the Miu Miu spring 2008 collection and the Luella fall 2008 collection. But since I love both of those collections and designers, I loved Erin Fetherston's fall 2009.

Marchesa was just pure elegance...as usual. :)

I loved the mixing of colors and patterns at Peter Som. And those neck-warmer furry things are just so cute!!! I would sooooo totally get them (if they were faux fur of course). What I loved the most was the bright, cheery mood of the collection.

Ok, who didn't like Marc Jacobs' collection? I am in love with that electric lemon velvet dress! And that zipper skirt...drooooooool, and that red top is driving me crazy, and those tights are making my knees go weak, and I love Lara Stone :)

What I didn't like: the overall somber, dull, depressing tones that were used. Why? Just because they are fall collections, doesn't mean they can't be fun and colorful...jeez. Oh, and some collections were just so boring. Nothing new. Same black blazers, defined shoulders, deep v-necks, slitted tees, rips, shreds, studs, etc.

What I was iffy-iffy about: Alexander Wang. I was disappointed with half of it, and liked the other half. But then again, that other half is similar to something Topshop came out with...apparently. So did he copy? And that same other half also had stuff I saw before...slitted leggings, tees...but I like them... And the asymmetrical dresses...drool. *Sigh* I don't know whether to like it or not.


Oh, and on Tuesday, my brother and I went outside to do a "photo shoot."






Coming up at the end of the week:

- London fashion week review
-wardrobe challenge
-Blair's drawing (hopefully) ...you'll see what it is
-and...randomness

take care everyone

p.s. all the photos in the collages are from style.com

p.p.s as usual you can click the photos to enlarge

p.p.p.s. Is anyone else watching the Oscars? Did anyone notice how STUNNING Penelope Cruz looked? I think I fell in love...with her gown...that vintage gown will haunt my dreams forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever!!!!

Oh my, I shall post a pic as soon as it comes up on the internet.

Oh, and when the Slumdog Millionaire cast was getting interviewed on the red carpet, I was sooooo happy, and died when I saw Dev Patel (and heard his Brit accent...).... *swoooooooon*

The children were sooooo adorable. I wanted to just fly to the oscars (in my PJs) and give them all a hug... (even Dev Patel :P)

la jolla

Today, since we had off from school, my mom, my brother and I went to the mall, as little bro was wanting some skinny jeans from PacSun. He's becoming this skater/punk/basketball player wannabe, and it is adorable to watch him go frantic over clothes.
He is so sweet, but we butt heads ALL THE TIME. And then, mid punch, we just burst into hysterics, for no reason, and laugh and laugh and laugh till our stomachs ache, and our eyes tear up, and my mom comes in, just to make sure we are breathing.
Anyways, so we went to the mall, and I really liked the Boy Fit jeans at American Eagle, but I didn't get them. I came home empty handed, but I am not too upset because that means I can save up even more to go shopping with my friend "R" at H&M, as we both have gift cards waiting to be spent. Plus, I want to save up a bit more extra money to buy some jodhpurs/drop crotch pants at Zara, the newest member of my favorite stores list.
While we were at the mall, my brother wanted to go inside Hollister, and so I followed him. I sort of wanted to go too, not to buy clothes (I have WAYYY too many graphic t's from that place, and totally regret it...I don't really like wearing them now...but I try to incorporate them into outfits as stylishly as possible, trying to look as much unlike a mall chick as possible...) but just because the smell and the music is captivating. I could just sit in that store forever and ever and ever, sniffing at all the clothes.
Creep? Maybe...shhh
So while the brother and mother were looking for cali-style stuff, I was sniffing through the fragrances...and found "THE ONE(S)." La Jolla, SoCal, and Malaia were the most amazing fragrances ever! You must go to Hollister just to try them out, and you will understand...

Ok, that being said...

FASHION WEEK...!

Some of the collections were disappointing, as a lot of bloggers have already stated, but others were amazing :)

My sad excuses for collages are coming up at the end of the week!

I am so sorry this post was so boring, but I needed to put something up for the week, or else you would have to keep reading about V-day...

Well, I have a chem test to study for...how I hate the subject :(

p.s. that outfit challenge hasn't been going too well, I got a lot of Audrey Hepburn challenges, but I haven't really started...so I guess that is going down the drain.

p.p.s I might do something similar to Amelia's challenge (<---click, then scroll to bottom of post) though...if that is ok with her...

i am alive / inpiration part 2 / challenge me!

pictures found somewhere on the numero korea website

no, i am not dead...well, not technically. school is killing me. so much that i don't even care to capitalize my "i"s at the moment.

oh, and i am thinking of doing an outfit challenge...it will really be a challenge for me especially because my closet is so limited. why, with old, regretful purchases from aeropostale and hollister and abercrombie and so on.

but if you have any ideas for the challenge, comment away!

i really want to do it. it shall be so much fun.

and if you have any specific editorial (preferably not one of evening gowns and glamour. more like something simple, but challenging....i hope you understand) that has any specific outfit (see previous parentheses) that you want to challenge me to recreate, send it to me right away at my email address, which is somewhere in the side bar, you will find it, don't worry -------->

i am super excited to hear from you all!

oh, and don't kill me if i don't recreate a look perfectly. remember that i have a very, VERY, VERY limited closet...

maybe i should do a closet tour to give you an idea.

hmmmm...

P. S.
i just want to thank all of my readers for being sho shweet, and showing me so much luuurve, and wishing me luck on all my work. unfortunately, some of that work (more like most of it) did not go as expected, but i am hoping and praying that it turned out good.

thanks!

p.p.s. I am super (with a French accent) disappointed that no one, so far, has commented/emailed me with ideas for the outfit challenge. I really really really want to do it, and would love love love love love it if you suggested stuff :)

please?

hiatus: inspiration part 1 (WARNING! PHOTO HEAVY!!!)

I am not going to have enough time to do proper posts for a while, with midterms, SATs, history term paper, Scarlet Letter Test, music recital practice, and dance recital practice, so until I have free time again, I shall post photo posts...maybe one or two proper ones in between.
