the "it" factor

Sorry the posts have been slow, my weekend was crazy. We had a launch party for our magazine, and I will be posting pics from the fashion show that we styled soon!

But here's just a quick picture post of my favorite it girls.











That's Coco Rocha, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alexa Chung, Natalia Vodianova, Mariacarla Boscono, Kate Moss, and Irina Lazarenau.

I know, I know, its not a real post, but you'd be surprised how long it took me to compile these wonderful pictures which are from everywhere - literally.

Anyway, look forward to a more comprehensive post in a few days!
Now I must tend to my immense amount of homework.

won't you stop and breathe

I just found out that my friend's neighbor has the BEST collection of vintage clothing - we rummaged and I could not keep my hands off of this skirt from the 70s. It was honestly love at first sight.


I think Mary Emma's theme for this shoot was "Michelle Obama meets Wonderwoman". Shes so adorable, and the BESTT model ever. (She will make her debut on here soon!!)

I am in loveee with her hair. Can you tell?


So when we took this picture some creeper was taking pictures of us on the other side of the window, and came outside to show us his pictures. That was not okay. Creeper.

Current Nail Color: Mesmerize - Essie

I am in love with this bright blue polish - and I also obsessively paint my nails so I will keep you guys updated on my current nail-colors!

♫ Soft and Warm - Voxtrot

Interview with Erika of Fashion Chalet!

I'm sure you guys all know Erika, the sweetheart behind Fashion Chalet. Well I was lucky enough to interview her (old school style - with pen and paper) to know more about the adorable fashionista:



And in return she interviewed me! Here's my interview:



I hope you guys enjoyed that!

I decided to dress my friend Izzy and then take some pics of her trotting around in the law quad. It's so pretty there in the spring time - lucky law students!

I love how the color of the shorts pop.

It was actually pretty chilly on that day, but she faked it pretty well. Oh the things we do for fashion...

♫ Iron and Wine - Boy With a Gun

saturday night, neon lights

(blazer H&M, J.Crew tank, BCBG shorts, Dolce Vita Shoes, tiffany bracelet, random tights)

These shoes are amazing - and I rarely ever get to wear them without getting crazy stares. But I decided to bust them out for a trip to the mall - where I finally purchased a romper! (not to worry my dears - you will see it soon!)

I got the shoes as a Christmas present, but I think they're selling these at Urban now - and I think they're on-sale! I love bird-cage shoes, I just can't get enough of them. And I'm currently lusting after these:


Yes my loves - YSL inspired cage shoes from Topshop!! I know these shoes will go flying off the racks when Topshop makes its New York debut on Thursday. Sadly I wont be within less than 100 miles of a Topshop until I jet off to NYC for the summer. *sadness*

But those of you in the city - I'm sure you ALL are going to make Broadway & Broome your first stop on Thursday!

And if any of you were wondering - these were taking in my basement at home - yes I was a ballerina for ten years - so my parents converted my basement into a studio. But now I sadly don't have time for it anymore!

♫ Stars - Take me to the riot

i'm all dressed up and i'm ready to play

(H&M jacket and tights, Vintage skirt and necklaces, Forever 21 top, Michael Kors heels)

I am SOOO in LOVEEE with these shoes. My mom got them on SUPER discount at the MK store - I think they were something like... $34? Crazy.

Mary Emma (who took the pics) is trying to teach me how to model here. That's only reason these poses are somewhat better... lol. But I fail as a model - I cant even keep a straight face.


Yes, that is a piece of artwork. Mary Emma and I sooo got yelled at for this.

Whatever.

It was art for art's sake.

♫ Shiny Toy Guns - Don't Cry Out

making movies, out the on the street

(H&M top, belt, and skirt, American Apparel tights, Preview Shoes, vintage bracelets)

So I was catching up on some much needed fashion 411 - after my dreaded econ exam - and I saw this Heidi Mount Chanel ad for about the 800th time -


but this time it gave me a burning desire to purchase white tights! So this is my less pricey take on Chanel S/S 09! It's pretty simple but the subtleties definitely make the outfit. I am a huge fan of the white tights - they are loveee. But I've gotten very many funny stares trodding around campus in them - if only they understood!


♫ Hard-fi - Stars of CCTV

Into the Woods

(Dresses: Chloe, BCBG, ABS, Calvin Klein, Tracey Reese, Sweater: Banana Republic, Skirt: Jonathan Saunders for Target, Hair accessories: Marc by Marc)


This is a shoot that I styled for SHEI Magazine (fashion mag. on campus at Umich) - Can you guess what my inspiration was? I'll give you a hint... prince charming, wicked witch, enchanted castles....

I think you get my drift. Most of the clothes are mine, but I want to give a huge shout-out to Francesca who let me borrow from her BEYOND AMAZING jewelry collection for the shoot. She honestly has a collection which we can only dream of. I hope you do enjoy these pictures!

Also a huge thanks to Helen, my photographer for making the pictures look so damn good.

This will be featured in the newest issue of our magazine coming out next month - yes we only produce ONE magazine per year - its sad, but we have very limited funding.

Yes, I did the hair and the makeup - so if it looks horrible - that's all me!
