Turning

So, Jay and I traveled into the city this weekend. I had bought him tickets for the new Green Day American Idiot show that hit Broadway about a month ago. It was definitely an INCREDIBLE show. I would highly recommend it to anyone, even if you have no interest in the band, the show was all around amazing!!
But before the show Jay and I did some shopping. I hate to say it, but I left feeling very uninspired fashion wise. I couldn't connect to a lot of the pieces that I was seeing in Topshop and the like in the area. I don't know, I'm just not feeling it recently. I can't really point out what my problem is, but I am POSITIVE that there is some kind of fashion void going on in my head. Its slightly troublesome because I really can't wait to get some new summer items, but I'm just having a lot of difficulty in picking them out this season. I'm being extremely careful and picky and STAYING OUT OF FOREVER 21.


Shoes from Aldo (They were my favorite find of the day)

I really need these boots.

Welcome Back Carly

I've been so busy, getting excited for school in a few months as well! But never - the - less, I am back again with lots to post!!

Food For Thought.

Fashionistas, we need to talk. Spring is coming and I have been doing a lot of thinking. A few months back, I was out with two of my girlfriends. We were having a blast at a local bar and we got to talking about women, body shapes, and clothes as usual. My bestie, who is a very tall, skinny, beautiful girl with long legs, turned to me and said, " I would rather have your body shape than a model's body shape." Mind you, I am 5' nothing with a bit of a behind and a C cup. I couldn't understand why she would say that to me. I thought she was just drunk and talking smackalicious but something inside of me told me that she was serious. I've always admired my friend because she wears everything so well. She is the type that will make a pair of Kmart jeans look good and expensive. BUT anyway, the whole point in me writing this is far beyond my rambling. You see, after watching "The September Issue," very carefully, I realized something. I realized that everyone has to find that special style. Everyone has to take the time to learn their body shape, learn their skin color, and find pieces that only compliment that. Take Anna Wintour for example, she wears sleeveless, printed, colorful dresses through out most of the movie. Charlotte Gainsbourg is famous for her white vneck tee, high waisted skinnies, and ankle cowboy boots, always work with her signature skinny banded watch. I do believe everyone has a specific style that they should stick to. For me, I am not confident enough to say that I have figured it out for myself yet. I know what colors I like, I know what prints I hate, but I am not quite there yet. I do not have tall stick legs or long shaggy hair. I have a C cup which inhibits my V-neck wearing ability sometimes. I am not a "curvy" girl, but I am on the border. Yet I do believe that there is a certain sophisticated style out there for me. I'm the the process, but finding your personal perfect pieces is a tough task. Patience is a much needed trait when your shopping for a new wardrobe. You need inspiration and colors. I want to have fun shopping for myself, but every time I start shopping, I get anxiety over the fact that maybe I'm not choosing the most "in style" pieces. The bottom line, I have to learn to not care so much about what others are wearing. I have to care for myself only and worry about what I am wearing ONLY. Its a very hard thing to do though. So, in conclusion, I am going to try my best to shop for ME this season and no one else, after all, no two people are alike, body wise and style wise.
