Comfort First
Maybe its the wrong season, but comfy cute clothes just seem to be the best. Possibly ‘cause the school year is winding down, and I don’t care that much about what I wear anymore. But I just want to wear sweats and t-shirt. But, I refuse to. So, what else is there to wear thats cozy yet stylish? Seems like layers work, lots of knits, lots of leggings. And these are still a little too...
Pull up your socks
Socks with heels are in. But not just any socks, HIGH socks. Socks that reach way above the knee, to the bottom of your hemline. Short skirts, short shorts, short dresses are perfect for summer. And now just add a pair of thin, almost sheer socks. They looked most summery when worn with heels, but they can be worn with ankle boots too. I’m not sure how these will look on me, someone with...
summer, summer, here I come
So summer’s just around the corner, and it’s time to start picking out bathing suits. But don’t worry, you can keep last summer’s asymmetrical or cut-out one-pieces, typical traingle string bikinis, or even those bright American Apparel bandeaus stashed in the back of your closet. ‘Cause this summer, we’re going for style, and slightly function.
Pick up...
heading to the beach
As summer’s heading our way, it seems like designers are looking towards the beach for inspiration. More specifically, they’re looking at scuba gear and neoprene.

a girl can dream
some heels I wish I could have…
keep your eyes wide open
Looking through hanneli.com, I came across two excellent photos of sunglasses. As summer approaches, I am looking for the perfect pair of sunglasses. Typically, I look for a pair that is a neutral, basic style. Something that can go with just about anything. Thats why i like the blonde girl’s glasses. They’re fairly simple, but utterly cool. The brunette also has great sunglasses, but...
back to basics
New trend: basic, long shouldered bags by Celine.
When Phoebe Philo took over at Celine, most were pretty confident in her abilities. She has brought the brand to one of the best designers of the moment. With simple designs that all women want, Phoebe has done an excellent job. That is why when she decided to do a line of handbags, everyone was on board.
The most popular bag is a simple,...
Sail Away
Ever seen someone walking around in those blue & white striped sailor shirts? Yeah, you probably have. And it probably was a Breton shirt. Breton shirts are HUGE right now. Maybe ‘cause they instantly make someone look chic. Originally, the Breton shirt was a sailor shirt, but now, its just a trend. But, a super cool trend. And they’re from Britain, so that instantly makes them...
picnic in the park
tomorrow i’m going for a picnic in the park with some friends. since summer seems to have hit LA a few weeks early, looks like i’ll be wearing loose, flowy clothing (always my favorite). I’m feeling some floral dresses, and a denim jacket in case it gets cold (wishful thinking, i suppose).
Kinda like in this Topshop ad,
Met Costume Ball
The Met hosted their annual Costume Institue exhibit. This year the theme was American Women: Fashioning a National Identity. Now, let me just say, 2 years ago (the Superhero one) was by far the best exhibit, so they had to try and live up to that. And I’m going to see the exhibit in the summer.
But only the most glamorous of the glamorous attend the event, dressed in to-die-for designs....
