you're the only song i want to hear

( Club Monaco shirt & bracelet, Jonathan Saunders for target skirt, Zara shoes, H&M backseam tights, Chanel watch, Tiffany Watch )

It was a beautiful 64 degrees out the other day - so I had to take some pics. Although this means that my allergies are going CRAZY. *sighs* It's a small price to pay for the great weather I guess.

I cannot get enough of these shoes - every time I look at them I want to put them on. I've also decided that the Target Go collection is about the best budget shopping ever - sadly the Alexander McQueen collection hasn't come to my Target yet.


In other news - who's pumped for JIL SANDLER FOR UNIQULO!? (i don't even have a Uniqulo near me - but I shall bee in the City over the summer - so hopefully I'll get to scope out the collection then!)

Anddd Marc and Lorenzo are ENGAGED!?!? I can't wait to see the wedding pics!

What a week it's been for the fashion world!!

♫ Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body

now take me dancing, at the disco

(images from tfs)
These are AMAZINGG images from the April issue of Vogue China. They were shot by Solve Sundsbo - a photographer that (i must admit) I'm not too familar with - but this sure is proof that he is a very talented individual! I absolutely LOVEEE Magdalena Frackowaik - Ever since the dior couture anniversary in 07 - she has become one of my favorite models.

She looks fabulous here - and I really like how the make use of the balloons in this shoot! I want my life to be like this - bright colors, couture, and an amazing photographer to take my picture!!!

So it looks like I will be interning in New York this summer!! (YESSSS.) Will I be seeing any of you fabulous bloggers in the city?

♫ Goldfrapp - Ride a White Horse

nobody near me except that red neon light

(F21 jacket, H&M top and jeans, Steve Madden shoes, Chanel bag, Banana Republic bangle)

I've wanted to wear this faux fur shrug for ever! But it hasn't been warm enough till now - the shirt is actually sheer - I bought it at H&M when I was in NYC - it was the last one left and a size 12 - but I wanted it so bad, and I absolutely love the fit!

Sorry that you can't really see the outfit in these pics - I love the way they look though! Special thanks to Zara who took the pics!

♫ Hard-fi - Little Angel

want to go to the seaside?

(images from style.com)

I realized that my last Paris Fashion week collage was not comprehensive enough. So I made another one! Anyone else obsessing over LV and Ungaro!?!? I really want those tights with the huge shiny discs on them! I am also digging the sheerness at Givenchy although I have to admit the fake hair on the clothes really scared me. Limi Feu!! I really want that black cardi + belt combo!

Oh paris, why do you tempt me so?

Current to-buy list:
1. Romper / Jumpsuit
2. Nude Patent Heels
3. Harem pants
4. Nude Nail Polish
5. These Dries Van Noten Inspired Shoes...


So many things to buy... so little funds.... *sighs* Story of my life. Sorry to bore you with another fashion week post - its so hard to keep up with these shows!!

I promise promise promise that an outfit post and a photoshoot post are one their way!!

♫ The Kooks - Seaside

paris holds the key to my heart <3

(images from style.com)

Here are my favorites from Paris fashion week! I love the Christian Dior collection - *drools* I would wear it all! I love the bright colors and chiffon *sighs* - I'm also adoring the skirts at Balenciaga - oh Nicolas, how you tempt me.

For some reason, I'm really taken away with the mint color at the Chanel show too - pastels for winter? That's a new concept - but I kinda like it!

I don't know why but there hasn't been much buzz about the Lanvin show - in my opinion it was one of the better shows in Paris.

I think I'll post some pictures from one of the photoshoots I styled for a magazine soon - stay tuned!

♫ If I ever feel better - Pheonix

je veux l'amour universel

...and I present you - THE GEEKY GLASSES!!





(Urban Glasses, F21 shirt, Bebe Jacket, Romeo & Juliet Couture leggings, Fossil necklace, Kim's shoes - and Kim is wearing all F21 - except for her shoes)

Sorry the image quality is so shitty guys, I forgot to bring my slr so I had to take them with a point-and-shoot (you know - those inferior cameras with horrible low-light performance? Haha, just kidding.)

Note: I tend to always do the Kissy face in pictures - I think it makes me look much more photogenic - or at least less un-photogenic.

Yes, I'm very well aware that the shoes kinda clash, but this was so last minute and I couldn't possibly wear my flats while Kim was wearing those insanely high heels. Plus, then I would have looked like even more of a midget! Here's a close-up of the shoes - if anyone's interested.



I am seriously loving these glasses - but I guess one has to take them off eventually... *sighs*



Also - I'm currently in the market for a jumpsuit/romper... any suggestions?

Oh, and Vogue Italia seems to be loving the animal print as well - seeing as Ali Stephens is all clad in stripes!! This is one of the many absolutely AMAZING images from the shoot by Greg Kadel in Vogue Italia this month!

♫ Najoua Belyzel - Je Ferme les Yeux

Oh la la la

(images from tFS)

These were shot by Ellen Von Unwerth for the Lula #8 spring summer magazine. I am soo in love with the first picture - its so flirty and fun! The clothes are from Luella Bartley's spring collection - it makes me think that summer is not too far off and that I will be clad in bright jeweltones soon as well!

Also, my friend Kaleigh is studying abroad in Paris right now, and this is what she saw:



Yes, my dear friends, that is indeed Carine Roitfeld. And the girl you see in the foreground is my other superchic friend zoe - who also happens to be studying abroad in Paris. Life isnt fair. What's a style concious girl to do? *sighs*

My promised geeky glasses outfit post shall be up tomorrow! I'm soo exhausted now - I woke up at 5:30AM ON A SATURDAY. Yeah. I'm going to bed now - I just remembered that it's daylight savings today so I shall be getting one less hour of sleep - great.



♫ Goldfrapp - Oh la la

paper dreams

(H&M dress, F21 Tights and Bracelet, Steve Madden Shoes)


So Christina has the most amazing legs... EVERR. This outfit is rather simple - but i do think it makes quite a bold statement. I was obsessed with those steps - I guess this is unintentionally gossip girl inspired. Yay for preppy outfits and MET-like steps!

Today is 61 degrees. SIXTY-ONE! I'm going to run around outside in a tank top - Michigan is finally warming up!! YESSSSS.

I totally got the most amazing pair of geeky glasses yesterday - I'm very excited to make a post about them.

Also - does someone want to give me a ticket to paris so I can go to fashion week - AND to the colette gallery so I can see this?


images from colette.fr

Yes, the Kaiser put together a Barbie and Ken exhibition at the Colette gallery in Paris - If you guys are in the area - go check it out! As for me - I can only drool at the pics online. *sighs*

♫ The Kooks - She moves in her own way

we were hoping for some romance

(Zara Shirt, Club Monaco Cardigan, F21 shorts, H&M tights, Zara Shoes, Chanel Watch, Tiffany silver bracelet, Club Monaco Beaded Bracelet)

Today was an absolutely beautiful day - It ALMOST reached 40 degrees! This called for a celebration - my friend and I decided to go around campus doing an impromptu shoot for the blog.

(I will post her pictures tomorrow - they look so much better than mine. I promise I don't look as retarded in real life. lol.)

We received very many funny stares - especially because I was wearing tights with these beyond amazing shoes.



This was taken outside of our art museum - shame you can't see the rest of it, it's actually a pretty cool building. I hear the temperature in Michigan is supposed to rise soon - look forward to more outdoor shoots!

♫ Block Party - Flux

WHOA TILDA!

(images from the Fashion Spot)

Tilda Swinton has always been one of those awkward celebrities for me - always playing the intense serious British woman - you know. I never thought she was particularly pretty or even a good actress - but these pictures from the Spring/Summer issue of Another (shot by Craig McDean) COMPLETELY shocked me. She looks so elegant - and composed - and not at all phony - not to mention INCREDIBLY thin.

Who knew Tilda could be so high fashion!? (I am soo in love with the crochet knitted dress!!)

I honestly never imagined myself wanting ANYTHING that Tilda would EVER wear - but there you go.

Tilda Swinton - next fashion icon?


♫ Wilco - Jesus, etc.

tonight, tonight we'll shine so bright

( F21 Shirt and Tights, Bebe jacket, Preview Shoes, vintage necklace worn as bracelet)

1. This is me attempting to pose like a blogger - haha, yes...
2. I am so behind on all of the runway shows - I swear that I will make a collage about Milan soon!! School has been sucking up all my time. *sighs*
3. I actually write for a fashion magazine at Umich, and we do some prettty awesome photo shoots - so be looking forward to those!

♫ Hard-fi - Tonight
