60 Something Degrees in Boston Yesterday!!

Spring is finally fucking here with a side of black snow, muddy ass alley ways, and bipolar temperature...

Dear Weather of 2015,

Please stop playing games with us, some of us actually have lives and want to live outside of the internet.

Sincerely,
A girl who is done with your shit.

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010

Hello Fashion Dolls,

I have been currently busy with school and flat patterns and making bodices and sketching and... I can go on for days! I am currently doing research on Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen and just watching past awesome fashion shows.. My collection theme for Monday's basic drawing class is African Safari in the North Pole meets Cirque Du Soliel  . We have to create lingerie or evening and bridal wear that has camouflage and animal prints. It's fucking insane and out of the box but I will def rock it! 
I picked Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen to gather ideas from because I am absolutely inspired by their fashion shows. Undoubtedly risky, they both are, yet still uncovers function in fashion that is wearable in most cases and exhibits confidence and vulnerability. Simple. Clean. Direct. With IFY models.


*(in your face=IFY lol)

White is The New Black?

BCBGeneration  CROSS-BACK CROP TOP

Daya in  BCBGeneration Midi Pencil Skirt

Hello! last night, after my graduation I decided to hit the city at night... in all white. Anyone who knows me at all, knows that the color Black captions my whole life; its always All Black Everything, and you know my favorite saying is "I'll Stop Wearing Black When They Create A Darker Colour." Lately I have been enchanted by everything white.. and I mean Everything! Summer is here and when I think of summer I start to imagine beaches and sand in between my toes, vanilla ice cream cones and cute white bathing suits with California floppy hats! White is Perfect for Summer.. what do you think?

I styled this white matching set by BCBGeneration with little black kitten heels from Aldo and a classic gold and diamond watch from Anne Klein. I was going for a very professional and classic look for my graduation, my outfit screamed 'business in the front, party in the back' heads turned all night, and everyone fell in love.

Watch: Anne Klein

Heels: Aldo

What's In My Bag?

Hello Everyone! today I will be writing about What's in my bag.
*just to put this out there, I promise I'm not trying to show off anything I have.. this is just me sharing with you my essential products I absolutely love to use while out on the move!

So lets get this started...

1. My Marc by Marc Jacobs (#M3122350 - Too Hot to HandleTote) aka "The love of my life." I got her this past december and I still wear her even though in the fashion world it would be considered -last seasons- right? well I honestly can care less.. she's my best friend and I'm not done wearing her just yet. It might not look as if this bag can fit too many things, but honestly it can, and I take advantage of it. 
2. My wallet by Calvin Klein. This was a gift to me from a friend. I love it because its long and it has so many secret hiding places. I can fit so many things in it, I never run out of space.
3. Chanel N.5 parfum. I carry this in its box now because with my previous purchase with this perfume I had a bit of an accident.. it leaked. and any one of you who wears N. 5 knows that this 15 ml bottle costs over $300. So my warning to you is be careful. Keep it in the original box.
4. Nivea Moisturizing Creme. My hands get really rough at times because they are not naturally smooth and this creme helps out in so many ways I think I would be only fair to mail them a Thank you letter. It is a mixture of Jojoba Oils and Vitamin E.
5. Dry skin hand cream by Pre de Provence; product of France. I'm not sure exactly why I carry two moisturizers with me.. yet this one really smells good, its lavender. the only negative with this creme is that its surprisingly heavy and really thick.
6. I like to stuff a couple of Cotton Balls in my purse before i leave my house, usually later in the day you see your make-up run, or if your skin is just incredibly oily, you'll get these make-up creases around your smile lines. and that is exactly what i use them for.. i just dab away all over my face and then my face feels refreshingly light again!
7. I don't usually carry my Macbook Air in my bag.. its extremely dangerous, though my middle name is Risk-Taker. I carry it only because I'm either in school for 345 hours (exaggeration) or I'm hanging out like a lonely loser in Starbucks watching Youtube Tutorials (honest to god truth, I'm a total loser). My laptop is basically my World; I would like to take a minute and give thanks to the creator of Apple, they have done some truly amazing stuff with technology today. I sleep with all of my Apple products. Literally. 
8. I am prone to passing out on the streets.. so I keep some type of food with me everywhere I go, usually Fig Newtons. They are the best and I love them and they also get the job done.
9. I undoubtedly, can't stand when I have something on my face and someone tells me, or doesn't tell. I can't stand it either way, so I carry a small compact mirror with me everywhere I go. People probably think I'm too in to myself. 
10. My Ray-Ban aviator glasses that I am absolutely in love with. I bought these glasses about a month ago and I wear these babies inside, outside, when the sun isn't out, when its pouring rain. (yes I'm one of those peoples).
11. Starbucks After Coffee Mints- for when my mate's breath sticks... it gets the job done and I'm not afraid to talk to them again.
12. Sephora Mascara and Mac lip liner- for when a touch up is needed... you never know
13. My Hairfinity Dietary supplements "Healthy hair from the inside out." by BrockBeauty. *I will be reviewing this product in the next few weeks when I actually see a change. or anything.
14. My Egg! My EOS. They make my lips utterly smooth and pillowy soft. This is the only chap-stick I will ever use and have been using for quite a while. I love it dearly. 
15. A  Venetian Journal that a close friend bought, handcrafted in Victoria B.C. This is wear I jot down my deepest thoughts. Im into poetry and this is where I do my magic.

Well, that does it. This is the end to what is in my bag and I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing this.

A Rainbow of Pastels, from left to right: Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung, and Rebecca Taylor.

There is something about a clean, soft pastel in Spring that gives the season a more lively, and soothing feeling to it. I absolutely love soft colors in the Spring, most of all a mixing and matching with different soft, cool, neutral hues. Pastels can make anything look brighter and more feminine. if you're not yet comfortable with pairing different variations of pastel colors, its perfectly fine.. choose one that stands out and makes the outfit Pop! color-blocking is currently still "in" and is still definitely a trend seen everywhere.

Crop Top x Alexander Wang

The Crop Top Trend will Never die, no matter what season. We've seen celebs from Miley Cyrus to Rihanna Rock this, in their own fashionable way. The secret into wearing crop top trend, i will share with you: Less skin shown, the better! Just because its actually cropped, doesn't mean -bare midriffs-

pair this top with a high-waisted jean or midi skirt. "less about the stomach, more about the waist."

 Shea Marie in: Citizens of Humanity

The Jumpsuit, one of the most easiest clothing to be worn. You shouldn't have to worry about mixing or matching, or over the top accessory, especially in a denim piece. For spring,  select a more vibrant color or a bold solid color to brighten up your outfit. We are seeing this retro 70's trend come back to life on the Red Carpet and even as the "hot new wedding dress trend".
