BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

that's legit

2008-09-07T17:42:00.001-07:00

although america's next top model usually has no idea what they're talking about, this season, one top model hopeful has some serious potential. meet...

marjorie

she's french and has an incredible bone structure. her style is also tres tres chic and inspiring! tomorrow is my first day of school and i'm thinking of emulating marjorie's french chic style.

marjorie's first shoot

tomorrow is my first day of school. this is the look i'm going for:

have a good monday! i hope i will.

((and i'm working at my old job tomorrow so i'm not completely job-less))

mourning: day 3

2008-09-02T10:14:00.000-07:00

it seems everyone is frowning in my joblessness. even reilly, my dog (pictured above), has taken to chewing on the carpet to get out his anger and upsetfulosity. as we mourn, we know there is only one thing that is for sure: a question with no answer, will it get better? sometimes i wonder if it will. but tomorrow i am off to new york, for a little retail therapy and some quality time to be spent with my aunts. if you have any suggestions of places to hit up, please let me know.

i was browsing and i found this fabulous website, LOOKBOOK.nu. do check it out, my dearies, you will not be disappointed. here are my favorites:

i'm digging the plaid pants and ginormous glasses

oh so very french

the mix of leapords is divine.

i've been longing for a pair of menswear pants just like these.

the green accents make this look unique, as does her frizzy hair.

gone with the wind, 2008

PURPLE KICKS ARE A MUST-HAVE!

shim?

she is a trend-setter.

this will be my look for tomorrow on the way to new york, thank you very much.

this look is perfect for anything, anywhere, any time.

adios!

sitting on a couch of pain

2008-09-01T11:23:00.000-07:00

at least there's a top model marathon on. to distract myself from my painful ordeal of yesterday, it's time for...

models who eat

as inspired by new york magazine

agyness deyn

agyness chooses to dine on cheese and ham dumplings. nums. her favorite food? thin-crust pizza.

catherine mcneil

nude-y food-y. catherine loves salad and chicken burgers.

lydia hearst-shaw

like any model-heiress, lydia loves sushi and caviar -- all things expensive. she starts off her days with a protein shake.

SCREW YOU HEALTHY EATERS, REAL MODELS EAT MCDONALDS!

erin o'connor chows down, 2001

new york magazine, 1999

a fashion shoot, 2000

so take a cue, ladies, and eat something today! i have already drowned my sorrows in a panini sans cheese, a banana and a blizzard from DQ. welcome to Nums Town, population: my stomach.

i got fired

YOU NEED (and i'm not kidding)

a legit digital camera
a tripod
real bras

bootie call

2008-08-30T13:03:00.001-07:00

the next thing on my wishlist: [faux] leather booties

Not only are these boots tres tres chic, they add an edge to any old ensemble. worn with a pencil skirt and cashmere vneck sweater, booties exude classic glamour. with jeans and a motorcycle jacket, booties give off a rebellious feel. i can't wait to wear booties with my new boyfriend jeans and an oversize kimono-sleeve tshirt. here are my picks for fall's bootie call:

clockwise from top left:
marc jacobs, marc by marc jacobs, tory burch, jimmy choo, stella mccartney, christian louboutin, fendi, chloe

clockwise from top left:
charlotte russe, jeffrey campbell, forever 21, topshop, forever 21, mossimo (target), topshop, topshop

new buys:

yesterday i took the t to newbury street with my friends and then went to the mall with my mom last night. i got so many great key fall pieces that i'm so excited to wear. i mostly got pants because my ass seems to have grown in the past three months (not to its benefit, i may add). here are my purchases:

levi's 501 boyfriend jean

forever 21 cropped leggings

urban outfitters lux railroad stripe skinny pant (ONLY $9.99!!)

minnetonka triple fringe boot

(similar to these) madewell cutoff denim shorts

(similar to these) h&m black wedges -- my FAVORITE

k bye

garment district 50% off sale

2008-08-01T15:14:00.000-07:00

i went to the garment district today. it's a huge department store in cambridge on broadway and they have a great vintage section as well as anything you could possibly need for a costume party. i mostly browsed the vintage section, of course, but to my dismay i did not find that perfect leather jacket for less-than-market price. i thought i'd show you my finds and also ask your opinions of how to wear each piece. here they are:

i thought i'd wear this as is with silver birkenstock sandals and a silver starry necklace from topshop. any objections? it's a really simple, comfy, all-in-one outfit so there isn't much to be done.

what i wore: a graphic-dotted dress from h&m, purple biking shorts from bealls in florida, my "bonjour" necklace from london's spitalfields market and pink patent leather doc martens.

my new glasses! aren't they lovely?

sweet new perscription sunglasses. can't wait to wear these at le cape.

this dress is sort of house-dress-y and oversized so i figured i'd have to belt it. i could wear it now belted with jelly galdiators. then in the fall i'll wear this with tights of any color, brown leather boots from madewell and my jcrew schoolboy blazer.

this is actually a nightgown but i figured i could wear it as a dress. again, belted, bangles, comfy shoes. i'm not very creative in the summer. i let the clothes do all the work. but in the fall, a chunky knit cardigan, tights or leggings and flats. or maybe my doc martens? that would be cute too.

this skirt is totally see-through. i'd have to wear my purple biking shorts underneath or leggings (which would look so dumb unless they were tucked into boots). it's kind of an awkward length so maybe i'll have to sew in some basic fabric as a lining. i should wear this with muted tones.

although these shorts are a size 20, they didn't completely fall off of me (great). i'll wear these with my ruffled white tank from topshop in the summer and a gray longsleeve tee from jcrew, tights and flats for fall.

i am off to le cape tomorrow! adios!

a little inspiration

2008-07-31T09:16:00.000-07:00

"where i live is so boring! no one has good style!"

this is a common thing to say among the fashionable, like yourselves. that's why i thought i would share with you some inspiring outfits from around the world. i didn't take these pictures myself, but trust me, i wish i did. these ladies will have you excited again about the last month of summer because it means you can still break out those short shorts and gladiator sandals. here are my favorites:

i love the relaxed feel of this look. and the headwrap is pretty bossy.

this guy works the fanny pack and not many people can do that.

a comfy beach outfit that still makes a statement.

i'm digging the leather accents and granny glasses.

the perfect leather jacket for fall. this is the one i've been looking for.

romper + attitude = a winning combination

simple, sophisticated and preppy

the craziness of these two exude fun and adventure. and yes, that is lily allen.
