Fashion: The New Favorite

While trends are important to the fashion world, I always tend to appreciate those unique designs that are hard to find and even harder to mimic. Forever 21 was great until one too many girls were caught wearing the same full length purple maxi dress. I, too, own a couple of tops from XXI; however, I have fallen head over heals for a store that offers quality and a unique charm. Anthropologie takes the regular Urban Outfitters hipster, adds a little bit more feminine vintage and a dash of matu… Continue

Fashion Change, Life Change For Summer

It’s been three days since my junior year ended and I’m already having the time of my life. My summer’s taken me on unforgettable adventures I never thought I’d have, always dressed in the most fashionable, of course. Yet in these four days I’ve learned stepped out of my comfort zone, my perfect little routine of doing the same things and being with the same people all year long. Ironically, I’ve never felt more like myself. I’ve been don… Continue

Tribal Prints

Imagine the blistering sun beaming down upon a vast field of grass as the radiating heat waves seem to lick each green blade crisp brown in the burning of an invisible wildfire. Many of you don’t have to imagine; just look outside to your backyard. It’s no hush-up that South Florida is incredibly hot. But any true fashion lover sees a scorching weather condition as an opportunity, ~~not a challenge~~. While your backyard… Continue

Fashion - Spring Flings

I’m not certain whether it’s the change in season or that charm of the ‘50’s, but I’m becoming absolutely obsessed with skirts. Seriously, I have subconsciously refrained from washing my jeans in hopes of donning those oh-so-flirty skirts.

Apparently I’m not the only one. Spring fashion has a blast of bright colors, loose silhouettes, and free-flowing spirit- which is great news for us busy girls: just slip on a skirt ov… Continue

Fashion - The Underground Scene: Part II

This is another installment of my obsession with indie/vintage/handmade fashion. Honestly, I don’t even want to go shopping at regular malls anymore for the fear of mass produced items winding up in a friend’s closet. Girls can feel my pain, although some guys may not. In any case, here are some fabulous fashions that will balance out your bar karma. Note: Etsy, the online fashion department store were peop… Continue

Fashion: Underground Fashion Scene

These days, I have been extremely busy. From organizing the Empty Bowls fundraisers for the National Art Honors society to cramming in as many Fast Food Nation statistics as humanly possible, I have hardly found the time to keep myself together. Yes, it is true. There have been make-up-less days that inadvertently seem like the au naturale look. There have been simple wardrobe days when preparation includ… Continue

The McQueen Target

Yesterday, I experienced something that will forever change my life.
I was judging the new GO International designs (with which came with some fair and not-so-fair prospects) when I noticed an item sitting a couple racks further down. It was a dress-short, strapless, belted. Its faded blue cotton innocence was ironically, yet perfectly, thrown off by a rough brown belt and I as inched closer to examine the dress I saw- coul… Continue

Dr. Kevorkian Speech: Ignoratio Elenchi.

What does The Communist Manifesto have in common with the Declaration of Independence? Absolutely nothing at all. Just as fascism, communism and the National Socialist German Workers' party have absolutely nothing to do with America’s democracy. Good luck trying telling that to Jack Kevorkian. Thursday at Nova Southeaster University, he spoke at a lecture entitled “Assisted Suicide and the ‘Right to Die’”. But in his speech there was absolutely nothing about the expected topic,… Continue

New Year, New Fashion

I must first say something you’ve probably heard a million times by now, so add this one to the counter: Happy New Year! (Even though it’s late.) So far, my list of resolutions are being kept and I intent to be primped, polished, fit, artistic, smart, and- of course- fashionable through the entire 2009. While there were several amazing moments this past year, it h … Continue

Fashion Hunters' Newest Prey

The Twilight craze has had millions of readers all over the world flocking to bookstores, book signings, actor signings, and movie theaters. The series has lured them into a supernatural world full of vampires so much so that many have taken the “supernatural” part for granted and the book a little took seriously. I’d like to think that if I was a vampire, I wouldn’t feast on humans. I’d be a tall, graceful vampire that feds on fashion, sweet fash… Continue

Fashion: Cheap Chic

Once again, that time has come. Does anyone else feel that it’s come too soon this year? One day I’m shopping for wide legged jeans and the next I’m on the hunt for some booties. Now, all of a sudden, we’re celebrating a time to be thankful but all I can think about is what happened to October. But I am thankful, don’t get me wrong. I’m thankful for my family, my friends… and designers.

The Future First Lady's Fashion

Think of an inkblot. With its intricate drops and complex shape, everyone can see something different among the splatters. You see a butterfly, while I see Stuart Weitzman Women's "Puente" Platform Peeptoe Pumps. (Which, btw, are on my Christmas List). I see the butterfly but I also see the amazing shoes. With that said, another comment must be stated. Despite who you voted for or supported, we can agree that this election is over, and not a mome… Continue

Fall Gusts Blow In Fall Fashion

This past week has honestly been on of the most amazing weeks ever. Why? The weather! I am certain that my European roots have bestowed in me a love of cold climates, art, and, of course, fashion. All this week, I have been donning my wool trench coat and these fabulous sweaters I picked up in Italy with my Gianni Bini mid-calve boots. Honestly, the temperatures are not even that cold, but, and believe me when I say this; all… Continue

Fall's Fashion Secret

Quirk #1: Often so much time passes without any down time that even with a half day of school and so many hours without any previous commitments and/or meetings and/or homework, I do not know what to do with myself, especially while procrastinating for an AP Calculus midterm. Quirk #2: When I have nothing to do, I make an attempt to relax, draw, read, shop online, listen to music and breathe for about 2 minutes until I ultimately st… Continue

Fall Fashion: The Hottest Coats Are Worth It

Every person can attest to the fact that beauty hurts. But it’s not just beauty that’s worth the pain; some fashions might as well come with the label “THIS IS NOT COMFORTABLE” while simultaneously punching our wallets in the face. Many coats fall under this category… Continue

Fashion Part III : THE Fall Outfit For Guys

No More Bald Spots and Doormats

There's something I really need to just get off my chest and just tell people about it so they don't make the mistake I have. But first, some prior knowledge: 1. I do not and have not ever hated anyone. 2.I do not believe in hate because if one hates someone else, it means he or she is worth one's frustration and thoughts. If one truly did not care for someone, then one would be apathetic towards that person and one would not waste time foolishly plotting their nemesis' demise.… Continue

Autumn's Walking: Part II

Does anyone remember Carrie's answering machine on Sex and the City? It went something like: Hi. I'm not here but my shoes are, so leave them a message.

I am seriously considering expanding my closet and putting in a telephone, along with my favorite voice message, in… Continue
