One day.. I'll make you proud. I promise.

Happy Thursday everyone! (favorite day of the week ;])

I feel like I say this a lot, but gosh I'm busy. Anyone else?

Okay well Tuesday night my school had it's annual open house/competition event. Basically you can enter projects that you've done throughout the school year and submit them for a competition.

I've entered for the past...well, a lot of years.

This year was no different :)

So I decided to enter the dress that I had made for a friend's prom (see the "My Designs" page. It's there!) And I got first place.

Not too bad eh?

Here I am below with my entry...

I believe that any occasion is an occasion to dress up so here is a look that I put together for the night. And sorry for the super awkward posing, but I was getting stared at so I wanted to just take the picture and be done with it.

In the photo I'm wearing an American Eagle tank top, Rampage vest, silver flower belt from a store named CottonOn, black bead necklace that has been in my family for about 7 generations, Necessary Objects skirt, Vera Wang tights, and my Forever 21 combat boots with leg warmers.

Well there you have it, another post by yours truly:)

Enjoy the rest of your week! I don't know about you but I could use a couple more hours in my day.

Until next post,

Peace, Love, and Fashion,

Get Up And Go Can Be Cute Too :)

So this week has been quite the busy one. In honor, I decided to share my favorite fashion pieces for when I'm on-the-go.

By the way Happy Belated Valentine's Day.

It lasts all week for me so there.

1. Big sweaters.

It finally got cold here in SoCal so we can actually pull these off while having them be functional.

I guess I could also add big button down shirts to this category.

Here is Kate Bosworth pulling off the look and a sweater from American Eagle Outfitters.

2. Floral skirts.

Cute. Spring-ish. Comfortable.

Even on those days when you feel super tired and lazy and so unfeminine this can put the girlie girl right back into you.

Below the lovely Miss Taylor Swift sports the floral and a skirt from Forever 21.

3. Tennis shoes.

Vans, Converse, whatever.

I've been seeing them paired with dresses and skirts a lot lately.

The sneaker is becoming more and more versatile. Plus a white pair is great for days when you are just sitting around bored. And happen to have some markers near you of course ;)

Below are the Helens by Jack Purcell for Converse

4. Toms :)

Good for your feet and good for the world!

These are a cute pair...

4. Sunglasses. Duh.

Okay if I had to pick one accessory, sunglasses would be it.

Rayban wayfarers to be exact.

Plus how else are you going to hide how tired you really are?

These are pretty cool.

I guess shoes aren't the only thing you can doodle on now :)

And I didn't get "visual stimulation" for these but plain white Ts and scarves.

The shirt for its simplicity,

the scarf for wearing over ugly shirts. Enough said.

So that is my take on lazy day fashions.

Feel free to share your own.

Until next post,

Peace, LOVE, and Fashion,

Sister Knows Best..

Okay, I'm trying yet another new "segment"-ish thing for my lil blog. I shall call it

(older) SISTER KNOWS BEST!!!

(BTW I'm the older sister ;) )

So this week I told my sister to pick some of her favorite jackets, be it type, color, or something she already owns, and I did the same. Ive listed our picks below along with some reasons why we picked them. Mine are on the top and hers are on the bottom. Get it? Because I'm older?! Kidding...shes actually as tall as I am. Sadly. Well lets get started!

My Pick- American Apparel $46- "I'm really into the hoodies with the white zipper and drawstring at the moment."
Her Pick-Lulu Lemon Limited Edition Hoodie- "I like all the different colors and that it can zip up all the way."

My Pick-Forever 21 $32.80- I like the different cut of the jacket and the buttons."
Her Pick-Charlotte Russe $39.50- "I like the fit and the collar."

My Pick-Forever 21 $44.50- " I love the collar! The whole coat looks so cozy."

Her Pick-Charlotte Russe 49.50- "I like the fabric and the pockets."

My Pick- Forever 21 $22.80- "I really like the cute zipper embellishment."

Her Pick- Forever 21 $27.80- "I love the color!"

My Pick- American Eagle Outfitters $45.95- "I think that denim jackets can dress up any casual outfit."

Her Pick- Forever 21 $24.90- "I like the striped design at the top and the sleeves."

My Pick- Aeropostale $59.99- "This is durable yet still has a cute look to it. Plus it reminds me of Edward Cullen ;) lol

Her Pick- Forever 21 $24.90- " I like how soft and comfortable this looks!"

My Pick- Forever 21 $42- "I wish this picture was bigger...But I like the details all over the jacket."

Her Pick- Forever 21 $17.80- " I like the button down front part."

Now for a few observations... (I feel like this is some sort of experiment or something!)

1)I tend to like the darker side of the color wheel.

2) She goes for the more comfortable sweaters and I like the jackets with detail.

and 3) I'm surprised she actually did this. If you knew her you would know why ;)

Thanks again Amber!

Until Next Post,

Peace, Love, Family, and Fashion

Falling For Fall Fashions....While Falling. Just Kidding On That Last Part ;)

Okay, so today was probably the first day of fall weather here in (most of the time) sunny California. Since I absolutely love fall, I was a very happy camper :) And in honor of breaking out my winter wardrobe I've made a list (along with the help of some dear friends ;) ) of what I think will be some hot trends in fall 2010.

For the girls~
*Knit hats! But in bright colors. Yes I feel that we will be seeing splashes of color this fall along with the usual blacks and browns.

*Colorful, chunky accessories. Like belts, pendant necklaces, and rings.

*Lace :) But not alot, just with leggings and tights. Maybe in a blouse. Maybe.

*Scarfs! Essential. I especially see the bandanna style being more popular. And with color. Duh.

*Denim. Dark wash. Definitely.

*BOOTS!! Oh I love my boots. I have a few pairs that I'm for sure ready to wear out this fall.

*Jacket. Not just any old jacket but a statement jacket. One that people look at and know its you. I feel that leather will be popular with the occasional military style. Also(especially if you are in a colder climate) a trench coat. They can be used for special and even not so special occasions. And hey, perfect for winter also.

Charlotte Russe~9.50 and Forever 21~6.80

Charlotte Russe ~7.50 and American Eagle~19.50

Charlotte Russe~32.50 and Charlotte Russe~32.80

American Eagle~39.50 and Forever 21~32.80

Now boys, I didn't forget about you ;)

Here are some "predictions" I have for you~

* Sweaters. Not the itchy grandpa kind. I think the Vneck sweater will be a favorite along with a button down cardigan. Hey girls may wear the "grandfather sweater" but guys can rock it ;)

* Beanies! I'm talking about the cool slouchy ones.

*Jeans! Denim. Also dark wash boys :)

Forever21 ~ 27.90 and Forever21~ 24.90 Hat from Forever 21~ 8.90

American Eagle Outfitters~39.50 and Aeropostale~ 19.75

Well that's pretty much all that I have gathered. Maybe it was helpful? Hopefully?

Any who, I was happy to share the ideas. That and I'm just plain happy for fall :)

Until next blog,

Peace, Love, and FALL FASHION,

Every Good Shopper Must Find :)

Ok so sorry for the late posting, but I just got back from vacation. My bad.
While on said vacation We went shopping EVERYDAY courtesy of my mom :) (thanks mommy!) And I didn't realize until later on that I got everything on sale! And I'm talking like MAJOR Markdowns. So I decided to blog about my good fortune!

The hotel we stayed at was-get this- right next to a mall!!! AHHH! And so the first day we got there, my mom decided to visit Dillard's. Now there aren't many Dillard's around where I live so this was a treat for her= a treat for me.

Dillard's is kinda like JCPennys and Sears I guess. And it isn't cheap either.

Now as I was going up the escalator I saw these SUPER cute, sparkly, party dresses. Turns out they are called "social dresses" And they were on sale. For $9.99. Seriously. So I got this Hailey Logan by Adrianna Papell"social dress", originally $129.99 for $9.99! Score!

Cute huh?

I LOVE the off-white color and the decorative tulle on the outside.

I dont know where I'm going to wear this but, believe me, Ill find something!

Then I got a long sleeve tee by Eyeshadow, originally $14.99 for $9.99. Its been a pretty cold summer this year and plus fall is just around the corner, so why not. And a great pair of Straight Cut (yes my fave cut) Levi's jeans, originally $29.99, for $19.99.

Then we took a trip on over to American Eagle. I really needed a nice-but-not-too-fancy shirt and I found this really cute embellished tank that was originally $24.99 for $4.99. Yes I'm that good :)

And that was my amazing shopping experience. I feel like I should be on one of those TJMaxx or Marshalls commercials :) Big thanks to my amazing mom too ;)

Until Next Blog

Peacec, Love, and (afordable) Fashion,

SummerShoesBagSummerShoesBagSummerShoesBag

Ok so where I live here in Cali, I've yet to see the sun out all day, BUT I know that it is Summertime :) And you know what that means! NEW BAGS AND SHOES!!! So this summer the shoulder and hobo bags are the thing to have. And as for shoes, the Gladiator Sandals have dug their way out of history (ancient history ;) lol) and made their comeback. Just today my mom, sis, and I went shoe shopping and I have FINALLY got a decent pair of sandals (American Eagle) and actually my sister got the same pair in a different color. very cute.

Anywho, here are some bags and sandals that I have found and I tried to pair them up well:) Enjoy!
