karl lagerfeld

im obsessed with the models red nails which adds just the right amount of color to the all black ensemble, props to lagerfeld for that one

so despite the fact that i know zero french i love to browse the vogue paris website, and upon "reading" a karl lagerfeld interview i saw this picture which for the record is absoultly lovely and will be my inspiration for weeks to come for sure

girl of the week aug. 31

so in order to keep myself up to date on posts i decided to make a new segment..applause applause. its not creative nor unpredictable, but it will hopefully give people a look at what people inspire me. and of course my first pick is september vogues cover girl keira knightly.

bold lip...bold brow

im amazed by the fact that i havent posted anything in a really long time! i havent been less inspired then usual, just busy with the fact that there is only one more day of summer left. this leaves me with alot of time to think of how i need o re-invent myself. even though i love fashion, i have a hard time wearing the clothes im inspired to put together to school. since i live in a subarb, most of the girls at my school dress like just that suburbans...hollister is name brand, fake chanel bags or coach is ideal, ratty sweats and adidas flipflops are normal....hoewver i hate it all. so my goal this year is to walk down the halls in my high heels and pencil skirts, pearls, and bows with pride and if people want to make fun of me screw them they are the ones that look like they jus rolled out of bed.

and aside from my clothing wanting to be different i also want my face to appear different...most girls wear little to no makeup and if so they experiment with glue gloss and sparkly shitty eyeshadow. quality, chic, and elegent is what is key to at least myself. i especially love style.com 's feature on bold brows and lips from the 3.1 phillip lim fashion show. the look is so effortless and chic that any person with well hands could pull it of, but i feel like most people are afraid to try it cause they are afraid of looking foolish or like a child put on their makeup.

"blair meets a hippie who meets a business woman"

so even though my nice suburban neighbors don't enjoy my lovely photo shoots in my front yard and the street...i do it anyways

now back to business::: today i saw the rocker which isnt an amazing movie its good but not like some serious oscar nominee in the making kinda film , but it has my future husband in it and i was so happy the entire time because teddy gegier is my dream person! but my mom made me very angry when she said they altered his voice because its higher in person [ yes i have met him, after his concert thats me and him outside the venue..i look sick nasty but i was super excited and after that picture i like attacked him with a hug and i made him sign stuff: mean fan girl i know]

today i also took a much needed trip to the library: i gave up on the twilight books, and i needed words since vogue and elle ads arent making me smarter. i got the only two decent fashion books in the whole place, one spotlighting the 60's the other the 80's my two favorite eras...other then the 30-40's but of course they didnt have the 40's stupid public library

so for the rest of my boring summer, i will be reading books yay me.

"Lauren Conrad meets taylor momson"

yes the title pretty much explains my new hair. i asked my hairdresser [allie] to pretty much do this but less choppy on the bottom, since im lazy and cant handle blowing my hair out so it will ever look like that. oh and for the record i love lc's dress here, and here completely obvi Christian loubutin's. however square sunglasses arent exactly forward, kind of more last summer id love to see her in some ray bans...that would be funny.

today i also scanned through my HUGE issue of elle and was completly inspired and happy with my fashion life again. im yet to start vogue since it hurts me its so heavy [ or i need to start working out again?] im in love with the huge spread of indie artist turned designers. im so jealous of their creativity and well their everything actually.

resort 09- usually i hate it, seems too summery to be looking at when all i wan to do is have the weather drop um 20 degrees so i can wear pants without sweating to death. this year i was pleasantly surprised, especially with Monique Lhullier...
i absolutly love this dress period.the color is gorgeus, cut flattering, and accessories lovely.
my personal favorite in the collection, simple and wearable...i love the jacket, but i cant tell the exact material of the sweater/coat/over thing which bothers me.

well i'll definatly be looking at resort lines again.

for now

"the managment"

so recently ive been into druggie music, my pappion puppy, and wearing nothing but sweats. however i also started working! for 8.50 and hour i either stuff enveloped or boxes for a few hours twice a week. however, this money is going towards a new purse and clothes. which makes me super excited, at the moment i will be online finding a designer bag for school =] and at work a suprisingly cool radio dj told my mom about vintage stores, one that his girlfriend will soon be owning in ann arbour....so im also in the process of convincing my parents to take me there for the day for vintage shopping and american apparel shopping =] so excitedd! ill soon be posting my online finds

"Ready, Set, GO!"

blah! my life sucks. not that im normally an optimistic person but im more of a pessimist then usual. ive had to work a pom clinic for younger girls and wake up early. and now ive been thinking alot...which is never good. i have no focus to read, and no inspiration to draw. im in a terrible rut, wishing school would start...okay i even bought a hollister sweater. granted it is for school pictures since it was the only simple enough v neck sweater i could find in navy that didnt make me look funny. so if someone has any words of wisdom., or pretty clothes =] haha sharee

"allison slingback pumps"

so the picture is kinda funny looking since it got streched. but i want these shoes, the black moc croc, patent is love.to bad tory burch doesnt like people and charges 295 for a pair. but i can dream right?

my loser friend wanted me to write a little thing about him, yet he has no idea what fashion is about. he told me that coach and under armour are fashion brands. just thought it was quite funny.

"Sisterhood"

so in honor of the new movie [which im seeing in a few hours] id like to say how much i loved alexis bledels outfit for the premiere...and others must of liked it too, since she was #9 on style.com's best dressed list. her the texture of the dress is gorgeus yet simple at the same time, and the angled shoulder is also lovely. however i dont like her shoes that much with the dress i think she would have been better of with simple black pumps. oh and her hot pink lipstick added a youthful touch[ click and enlarge the picture to see it better]

overall an a+ outfit.love it

"white rice with garlic butter"

above is my dinner and my new obsession. my boyfriends home but i didnt eat before i went over so when i got home my parents already ate all the stir fry so i got creative. and personally i hate rice i think its funky tasting but i tryed to make it more noodle-y with salt, pepper, butter...and garlic powder aka my life.

and in other news...

i got interested in fall 08 yet again!

couture this time though. and i have

been obsessed with chanels head gear for

lack of better words. it reminds me of like a mirror as if shes looking through at herself. i love the all black of the first look, very elegent, very classic, very chanel. the second kind of reminds me of christian dior's courture line which isnt a bad thing its more the color then anything. however it is lovely, just not as classic chanel as i usually like for karl. i really would love to see a dress with the same draping on top as the pink one but with a shorter version of the black dress' skirt in black, very chic flapper coctail dress or party dress if the sleve on the dress wasnt there and it just wrapped around to the back. and of course the pumps in both looks are lovely, very classic black chanel. LOVE IT! mary murphy [so you think you can dance] scream! thats on the hot tamale train =]

leave it to mark by mark jacobs to put one of the most gorgeous male models in a very chic lbd. i have this ad in my room waiting to enter my next collage.its all very high fashion, very chic, very marc jacobs. and i love it

"Men are powerful, women are strong"

"I set my self a challenge...make a dress out of the thread not making it of a fabric and i find it quite magical that you can take a tree and make a chair out of a tree not out of wood"
---Alber Elbaz [ lanvin designer]

love this quote. he said himself he loves clothes with a little psychology behind them. and i love the way tim banks and mila jonchovich described it...its as if the clothes dont wear the clothes the girls wear the clothes. and alber even said him self "clothes arent reflecting anything, people are" and others say you put the same lanvin dress on three different girls and it always looks different. all reasons i love lanvin.


oh and most empowering words
"men are powerful, women are strong"
alber elbaz

hope it inspires you

"Forever"

so my accessory task is complete! after hours of shopping and a total of 4 blisters in various spots on my feet thanks to my adorable zebra print flats i got alot of random crap.

-2 pairs of skinny jeans from delias

-kenzie gold blouse

-zebra print cardi

-blah blah blah

not that anyone cares what i got haha but it was all very cute and exciting...moving on

so today when i realized i was at home with nothing to do i stared eclipse the second book in the twilight series and im seriousally depressed...why the heck did that crazy author ruin my life by making my second boyfriend edward cullen move away?! do you know how many girls are seriousally traumitized by this event...so in conclusion im not reading more until i get seriousally bored again...for now ill stick to watching tv. which mtv's feedbacknew thing is amazing..i saw my other love alex from all time low and his gang "humping" the floor in the poppin champange music video and i got really happy all over again. and now i sit and listen to chris brown and debate whether to re-read the september issuse of teenvogue or continue to waste my brain away by listening to kiss kiss.

speaking of teenvougue::: thanks to my amazing subscription i also got the mini magazinge fashion rocks i think? anyways its amazing. there was an amazing article about how music inspires hair. hint amy winehouse's ultra teased hair and pete wentz's slick side parted flat ironed do. and another article about the emo/goth trend. and how people confuse the two also very true.

ill have pics up tomorrow of fun stuff i found in teenvogue. stay tuned =]
