Vintage bustier, Calvin Klein tee, Charlotte Russe blazer,vintage belt, F21 pants & heels
So, I am completely head-over-heels (literally) for the whole lingerie-as-day wear trend going on for spring
I'm slightly irritated that the belt wouldn't stay on the waist of the pants, but that's what happens when belt loops aren't involved
also, you may have noticed, the impossible has been done:
My hair can actually be braided!! I'm probably way more excited than I should be, but I promise you, all other attempts in the past have failed since my hair's length and texture just won't allow anything.

Some bits of nonsense from my field notebook. In the past I have spent countless hours watching movies while clipping copious amounts of magazines just for my collages. It really puts me in the "zone" for some reason, it's like clothing therapy...with paper.
DON'T MIND ME, I HAVE NO LIFE!:D
oh, and guys, I recieved my first college acceptance letter! SVA! yay!

I have become obsessed with Peter Som's Spring 2010 collection! I love his mixed patterns and textures. I'm taking a lot of initiative to bring more patterned pieces into my life .
Charlotte Russe blazer, Thrifted bralette/cropped tank, Kimchi & Blue dress, Thrifted Docs, Vintage necklace
I have also been included in the Weardrobe 100! Yaaay!

One of the more ancient pieces in my closet, this poncho has been with me forever
It was was too big on me in 7th grade, but since then I have grown to 5'8" and I can finally wear it without looking like I'm drowning!
my dad likes to call these my "star trek" boots
I really like the poncho shape, but lately I've been belting everything to avoid winter dressing boxyness
vintage Espirit dress/?? Tights/second-handed boots/Hervé Bernard wool poncho/vintage leather belt (also used as a bracelet)
More or less, a fairly mild winter's day in the upper 36ºF region. A lot of people were either commenting on my boots or my tights as I went sifting through books at a local bookshop today. I'm also almost done with an inspiration/collage book that I've been working on, but you'll hear more about that in my next post ;]

Lazy Friday
1.15.2010
Woohoo! No school for the next few days!
What better way to celebrate than a few rounds of lounging around and doing absolutely nothing?!
This watch was my birthday present from last year, I'm really picky about watches because I like them to be either as plain as possible, or just like any regular piece of jewelry. This fit the bill since it looks like a normal chain bracelet.
thrifted wool sweater/thrifted button-down dress/J.crew leather belt/Made by Elves wingtips/Marc by Marc watch
I was obsessed with Philip Lim's fall 2009 collection when I first saw it, and I've been dying to use this sweater because the color reminded me of this particular feather piece from his collection. It's great & versatile, but rather itchy!

Fashion Fatigue
1.08.2010
I adore this collection. It's incredibly wearable and it just seems to sum up how I personally like to dress during the colder & "in-between" seasons. The fact that R&B also incorporates fatigue jackets (look 1 from top left) into their pre-fall collection is also a plus for me considering how the fatigue/utility jacket is one of my all time FAVE garments...
