im in my bag

im listening to meek millz at the moment. if you dont know who he is you should check out his raps. please however be prepared for unappropriate language..... nevertheless this song had me thinking bout the chanel coco cocoon collection of travel bags.

check out this clip with daul kim (rip) i love it. the video i mean not the rip...


so the whole thing has lily allen as the face of it and i love her tooo! its like all my favorite people are teaming up these days! so its been featured all over the place, nylon mag, vogue, elle. you can see the ads in these same magazines and there not to bad either. the coolest part of the bags is that their reversible so theyve got that awesome quilt design or a puffier version to choose from. their really hardware like which is different for chanel but im not mad at them. i think karl lagerfeld has done right by the massses once again.

daily fashion tip_luggage. i have this issac mizrahi navy blue carry all with white trim and on the inside it's pink gingham!!! my mom gave it too me a few years ago and that makes it even better. everybody needs a bag that is totally and completely them. it just makes you feel special inside. so pack it up pack it in and the next time you hop on a plane be in your bag like meek millz.

my, my metrocard

so i realized the other day that i've been supporting a dangerous epidemic. i want you to pick up the latest issue of teen vogue and read about the "balmainettes." it's an epidemic that i realize, has gone way to far. the strong shoulder, yes we love it, but the writer of the article is right!!! what good is a song played over and oveer again? a little black dress is only classic because you break it out for classic occasions...if you wore it everyday its not as special. now in the case of the "balmainettes" this barelegged, big shoulder, tight, black, dress, disease must stop!!! people control yourself. fashion only survives if everyone wears something different.... i response to this article i am refusing to support the "balmainettes." no more bigg shoulders...

on the other hand....
_ive started my black friday want list. you should too, after all, this friday and the day after christmas definetly constitue as a major reason to shop. i've already started my cupon clipping.........sike, i never clip cupons.

daily fashion tip_studs. no not the ones on jackets belts and possible everything else (well i hope not everything.) im mean the studs for your ears. im only saying this because i need new earrings. i keep losing mine. *tear.

Grandma, what big ears you have...

daily fashion tip_a red cape. just think about how gangster you'd look in one. hell do the whole thing with a woven picknick basket. just do it. its totally crazy but i had a red cape like jacket when i was in preschool nd ive never gotten over the fact that i grew out of it. just think of your city as a woods. oh boy, i can see it now one with a hood is perfect (check out the grace coddington vogue spread with model natalia vodianova below) whose afraid of the big bad wolf?

hey it me!! i do believe this is my twenty sixth blog. *tear. im growing up.

any hooo. im freaking out a little inside because my november teen vogue has yet to come. i heard it has jordan dunn and chanel iman on the cover but i wouldnt know because i have yet to recieve mine. i never throw a copy of teen vogue out. i've been getting them since i was eleven.

on the other hand i watched the stella mccartney show today. i do adore that stella, always putting things out that i'd wear. more details on that tmrw. so much to do so little time.

i'm still trying to figure out how to put up pics of all the fantasmical things i see to share with you. lets just say it's a work in progress.

p.s. check out tonights gossip girl. hilary duff and tyra banks are sure to make a splash.

daily fashion tip_statement necklace. its perfect for a simple frock, party dress, or to jazz up you'r plain white tee. for slim in the front women i suggest long beads. no not mardi gras, i mean delicate chains and strands of pearls. if you like chunky find a long necklace with a chunky piece at its lowest part. uber curvy women try chocker like strands. no they should not actually choke you but if they have a pendant it should rest between your collar bones. mid length works for just about any size though it should be worn by those of you not sporting a to b's or d's. try not to layer to much. always take one think off before you leave the house, coco chanel taught me that.

Camera Shy

day eleven.

i just saw the september issue the documentary today. it's just the best damn thing ever. i left smiling ear to ear. i almost clapped, cried, and i certaintly gasped quite a lot. without telling you to much i will let you know that it is a reality film. no, not reality like real housewives of atlanta. reality like, if someone just followed you with a camera, no editing. the movie chronicles the making of vogue'september issue 2007. mind boggiling. the camera film follows anna wintour, grace coddington, and andre talley leon in their important lines of work. if new york is where dreams are made then vogue is where they are broken, built up, assesed, and considered. either it's in or it's out and anna wintour is quite sure of all her convictions. the picture is absolutely beautiful. when it comes out on dvd it will be my most prized possesion. for anyone who does'nt think fashion is a serious buisness, tie them to a chair and make them watch this film. fashion is not all fun and games. it's tough as nails and sacrafice is the only way to make it. no sacrafice, no reward, and in fashion, the reward is always beautiful.

film and fashion have always gone hand and hand. film stars are fashion stars. celebrities have always influenced what we choose to wear. audrey hepburn is one of my favorite film stars. check her out in brekfast at tiffanys and my favorite black and white movie (not counting the suave casablanca) is her feature roman holiday. she proves that style is beyond legend, it's epic.

fur. its a controversial issue but it definetly hints at that luxurious sophisticated ideal. its quite romantic and adult but serious and important. im not quite a fan of real fur but i guarentee that i will be purchasing a faux fur vest this week. its an essential and im all about essentials.

daily fashion tip_a black v neck sweater. it is both simple and warm. it's also great for carrying off an arm full of bracelets or a necklace thats the central point of your outfit. like i said before, black is back.
