shocking!!!!

ohhhhmmmmgggggeeeeee! its snowing and baby it is cold outside.

so this weather has caused me to lose track of time and my though process so everything i planned to write about pink for this blog has been forgotten. i will however tell you what i can remember.

my favorite color is shocking pink used widely by elsa schiaparelli. i saw her exhibit when i was pretty young with my grandmother when it came to the philadelphia museum of art (god i love that place). after that i knew i wanted to be a fashion designer when i grew up. i've wanted to be an artisit since kindegarten but thats when the fashion bug bit me and im still infected to this day.

now just this year i watched funny fave what with my addiction to musicals and audrey hepburn. this opening number made me excited about the film before it even got to the nitty grity.



now we've got victoria secret pink. i love their sweat pants btw. plus its just comfy. im not into parading labels and i nvr wear sweats outside unless its gym class, which thank god i dnt have this semester, but i do like to sleep in them. pink is where the heart is, after all.

like, you cant even lie and say that that show doesnt look like oddles and oddles of fun to be in or watch.

now theres this pink phone id really love to have from fredflare.com

kind of like molly ringwald circa sixteen candles ya know?

nd some pink stuff from forever21.com
im not really into ruffles but i think this would look slick with some boyfriend jeans or some leather shorts and a blazer.

but i think the pink thing id most be into is this_chanel. they know what a girl wants (rst 09 nd spring 2010)

daily fashion tip_rodarte for target. one more day till the product drops. you just better be in their like swim wear cause i already know what im getting. opportunity is knocking, go open the door to fantasmical and fairly priced clothing. go what r u waiting for go!!!!

xoxo_stella

1, 2 , bang bang

rodarte for target in just two days!!!!!! monday actually. im in there like swim wear.

btw. ive decided to grow my hair. yea its not tht shorrt but im always cutting it. i wonder what id look like with some slightly past shoulder length locks. i always get a straight across bang and my hair cut to my chin. but ya know new year new style maybe even though people always say that im serious. the hair i really would like to have in a dream me is below

fierce right? her locks are out the wiz-aow. now, im not gonna grow mine tht long but when i do cut it its gonna be cut straight across. no more angles. or maybe i'll get a bowl like tao okamoto. no no no. im growing it and thats that.

i've also updated my blog. there are links. their pretty crappy insize but they lead to wonderfully fantasmical places. just click and goooo.

on another topic im trying to decide wether or not to go see avatar. i heard it had wonderful reviews but its just not something im dying to go see. if you do watch it. however, tell me about it.

so i've discovered this beautifully constructed dress today. i was flipping through my moms in-style for december (taylor swift is the cover girl) and i saw this dress.

now in the magazine its worn by katy perry who wore it to the grammy awards this year. i think its fablous.

check out that weaving in the back! fantasmical!!! its so floaty yet sophisticated.
so now it begs the question who is basil soda. well i guess you'll find out tmrw follwed by a post about pink. cause im feeling the pink.


daily fashion tip_sturdy headphones. i am about to replace my second pair of headphones for this year. i just got them a few weeks ago. and now their broken. my orginal i-pod headphones lasted all the way up until november (i got them in march and then stepped on them by accident.) so now myheadphones are breaking again, from stress this time not from my oversized feet. so get some sturdy ones cause theres nothing like listening to the music you love from crappy headphones...

rock the boat

so my boat obssesion has lead me to finding this bag. i love pirates and the whole idea of resort wear for winter look. thats when i found this hat, and i want it badddd....

chanel, straw boater decorated with ribbon

go to the sport accessories while your there and check out the surf boadr and the boat
i want those too by the way. i dont surf but it would be nice to have a board incase i ever wanna learn you know im young ive got a while before im tooo old to surf.

daily fashion tip_sunglasses. i know your like stell awhat are you talking about, but im serious. i got off the train today to walk home and it was really really bright i mean like the extra white light bright. i had to quint my eyes to make sure i didnt step off the curb and get hit by a buss. practice safe walking in the bright winter kids, get yourself some shades.

xoxo_stella

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.

xoxo_stella

your scotch korean, you dont make a wee bit of sense....

yup thats right its just one of those days when i started watching starburst youtube commercials.

so on saturday night i watched taylor lautner on snl. he is the worlds hottest dork. it was really funny. but snl always is. you know what else is funny? elf!!! the movie with will ferell. you dont even have to like christmas watching a grown man prance around new york in green felt is just funny.
so this video taken by a random person sucks but the funny part is still in there


so plaid has been really bug but lets not forget about tartan. im mean your probably like whats the difference, i was asking the same question well here it is:

plaid (plad) n. a long, woolen garment, usually with a tartan pattern, worn as a wrap by Scottish Highlanders; a. marked with stripes.
tartan (tar'-tan) n. woolen cloth of colored plaids, each genuine Scottish clan possessing its own pattern; a. made of tartan.

there you have it. well im a wee bit scottish irish and i dont know what clan i belong to but im pretty sure that the burberry clan will welcome anyone willing. so here are some plaid garments with tartan patterns and my favs from the recent burberry prorsum spring 2010 collection:

so there isnt actually alot of pattern in this collection, at all. but there is lots of draping which is giving me balenciaga flash backs....

see its more of a pastel thing going on which is tottaly appropriate for spring. there are a few moore things i like about burberry and here they are:

trenches, i love me some trench coats. if i could get one every year i would, i would get one.

ad campaigns. turning a witch into a model. i mean she's already very pretty but i love how this ad campaign stars her. mario testino did an awesome job what with the lighting but staying true to the whole burberry culture thing. its pasted over one of my walls in my room but heres a little snipet.

and this dress. im going to copy cat it with my sewing machine, though i doubt it will come out just as fablous as this one :(

daily fashion tip_snl. it will make you laugh (plus the outfits they put on people are hilarious.) your mood affect the way you dress. the happier you are the more confidence you have and your clothes wont be wearing you. im mean be honest dont you always look around to see whos laughing when someone bust into giggles? exactly.

every cutie with a booty got a coogi

i peeped this guy today with a coogi sweater. now on the regular id be like ill but it got me thinking i could wear one with some tights and some booties and call it a day cause i wanna be notrious (b.i.g) baby baby.

coogi down to the socks

daily fashion tip_kfc. my mommy just brought me home some. no im not interested in how they are made, yes i did see supersize me no im not worried about calories. the main point is, theres nothing like a good buttermilk biscut. stop beachhhing. bread is good love the bread. be one with the wheat.

xoxo_stella

eggelton and bacon

this title is for my friend who likes dijon mustard. she knows who she is.

so i just got my self a hat and gloves and scarf from hm. the ones i had last year i absolutely loved they were cream elbow length kintted mittens from urban outfitters, a cream knitted hat with the little pompom on the top (i wore it to the side cause im gangster gangster like that) and a cream chunky knit scarf from hm. today i got blue ones, all different shades of like blue, navy, russian navy combo going on here. i really dig it becasue the different colors mean i can wear it together or mix them with last years still loved slightly darker from wear cream set.

today i played tap tap revenge for the first time!!!!!! it was amazing i had so much fun playing with chels ipod touch. i have a nano that i am quite content with but i would buy a touch just to play tap tap revolution, maybe i would i think. i was sitting there at lunch bobbing my head and tapping the screen like a maniac. i probably looked like a whole fool but i was having fun. check out the link at i want to know about the screen tapping game so im gonna click here

on the other hand, there are only eleven day until rodarte for target!!!!!!!!! go check out tavis page to see her very cool interview with the sister is east bubble funk nowhere. a very nice looking east bubble funk though. this may sound weird but i, a fifteen year old weirdo, have a girl cruch on tavi. she is awesome in ways i have yet to unlock the doors to. i wish her the very best.

if you didnt see it before go watch the paris-shaghai chanel clips and vids. im really considering stealing my grandmothers kimono. well ive considered it before but i think it would look pretty cool as like a sorta kinda jacket in the spring time you know? anyway check out the behive hair and the sparkle and the interesting jade dark red colors and fabric treatment here chanel paris-shanghai

daily fashion tip_hm mag. check it out online if you cant find it in stores. every country has a different one and its really interesting to see whats col and whats not beyond style blogs and profiles. check it out for internation inspiration and when someone ask you why your wearing that say because it very big in such and such place and i just loved the concept...

_sonia rykiel at hm is awesome... i was a tad skeptical (i so srry) but the other day i saw it and i was like ok i can dig it. loving the whole striped thing go check it out.


daily fashion tip_make up bag_my desk is cluttered with eyeliners, mascaras, and lip stains and blams. my besties house is even worse. she has this plastic sandcastle buket she keeps in her bathroom and fills it with all her makeup. one time she couldnt find something so she dumped the bucket upside down. it was like a cascade of color before my very eyes, powder falls is the perfect name for it. her mother had to call for the carpet in their hallway to be cleaned what with the lip gloss smears and the eyeshadows that ever so kindly got trapped in the fibers. cautionary tale loves. if you have an extensive makeup collection then i suggest an ikea drawer thingy with the pullout drawers. put each thing and a seperate drawer and call it a day.

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.

Premiere (again)

(this is the fixed version of yesterdays craptastical post)

ok dont judge me. i promised that i would keep posting but this is going to be very unpolished an without pictures because im hungry and i just finished homework an my attention span is that of a man whos watching football in a european country(no offense.)
so i've been thinking alot about how movies effect style. here are some of the classic movies with a little stella french advice on how to steal the film styles of femme fatales with the snap of your finger.
swing time_think fred and ginger stamping it out in tuxedos

the basics; chloe blazer, herve leger sequin overlay cocktail dress, pinktuck cotton blouse.

the extras; crystal flats by vera wang, j crew feather clutch, and a one piece from glam by red carter


some like it hot_think marylin monroe in bombshell dresses with sexy undies

the basics; eres corset, 3.1 phillip lim sequin detail cotton dress, and bebe sequin cowl.

the extras; bebe satin sandal, ann taylor cubic zirconium necklace, and valentino bag\



the wizard of oz_think gingham from black and white to marvelous technicolor

the basics; louis vuitton ruffle detail silk taffeta dress, marc jacobs stud and braid detail tweed jacket, and chirstopehr kane silk cutout dress.

the extras; nine west printed cotton shoe, dior fine jewlery ring, micheal kors cornhusk leather trim tote.

i had so much fun doing the gossip thing yesterday i gonna do it again today

_snoop dogg opened the stock exchange this monday (11-16-09 incase you forgot) looking very pimptastical and reserved in his nicely tailored suit.

_tavi and rodarte are pairing up to do a line with target (!!!!!!!) cant wait to get my hands on the clothes. best believe i will be at target before opening time the day the collection comes out.

_the carrie diaries(carrie bradshaw before sex and the city) is being produce. its got a cover reminiscent of a stephen sprouse louis vuitton bag and its all about her high school years.

daily fashion tip_graphic t. it makes a statement so you dont have to. let it do all the talking. my favorites are the ones from urban outfitters. they are always on slae and they always fit just right so pair them with some jeans and a cardi and youll be off...

Where The Wild Things Are

ok so yesterdays post was quite pathetic it's no secret that dandruff control is a tip in just about every aspect of life. but today im bringing it back with a vengance. i've got gossip and though spreading rumors is mean u still love to hear them anyway so don'e even front. be on the look out for the spring 2010 london blog on wed. so here goes my little try at being gossip girl (u kno u love me). by the way peep lady gaga on tonights episode... im just cant wait to see what she wears.

movies to go see:

1. new moon (i got my tickets two weeks ago so im set.)
2. pirate radio(when the british gov banned rock these renegades set up shop on a boat to break the airwaves from their dastardly non rock silence.)
3. fantastic mr.fox (not really sure what its about i do believe thanksgiving feast is implied in all the adds but who cares its got george clooney and meryl streep, what more convincing do you need???)
4. me and orson wells. (its not exactly out yet but it's got an all star cast and a lil romance in their plus zac efron.)

barbie boy...

_word on the street is that taylor lautner is going to have a barbie doll. i kno right. i mean we all love ken but taylor frick frakin lautner is a god (maybe im just exaggerating cause im a teen who likes twilight(not a twihard dont get it twisted) and taylor is only two years older than me but anythings possible...) anyway the doll is sculpted (god those abs) from his character jacob black in the twilight series by mattel. sadly the doll doesnt hit store till february 2010 to coincide with the newmoon dvd release date. even though i gave up barbies quite a while ago i wouldnt mind having this one..


tom sturridge_he's a character in pirate radio blasting dylan in the wee hours of the morning(he plays carl.) he's 23 and has made quite a splash in vantiy fair and being julia. ( i do believe i saw him in a vogue photo spread cant remember if it was teenvogue or big people vogue, ill check.) he was also in the indie film waiting for forever supposed to show up at sundance in january. he's just a bad brit and he's causing quite the sturr (sorry i couldnt resist.)

legacy_hayden panettiere is set to produce the series hms aka harvard medical school (look at you all salty cause you thought i spelled the abrv. for high school musical. go on dust your shoulders off.)

blake lively_spotted at the secret private lives of pippa lee screening in nyc sunday night. she did her little bare under the blazer look she's so fond of. she also wore black crepe shorts by marchesa (a fave brand of mine.) someone peeped her gossip girl costars and beau chance crawford and penn badgley supporting her.

dakota fanning_on the cover of teen vogue check her out. i love her. i hope shes not one of those child stars who tanks casue i really love how her roles in movies are getting more diverse as she gets older. she play a pain infklicting vamp in new moon.

sarah palin on oprah_i watched the interview and i must say i dont hate her anymore. i just want to know what was up with her hair? was that a white woman weave she was sporting or did volume magically spring up from the depths of nowhere to support her hair?? anyway. she had some interesting points but for the love of god she avoided half the questions. go check it out. (this relates to fashion because of her "infamous wardrobe")
taylor swift_if u dont go buy her album i will sock you. i will straight up come through this computer and knock you out. even if you dont like country music you must admit that the natural blond with curly hair and a killer red carpet wardrobe is the boom digiddy. she has buzzz out the wiz-aow. rumor is that she might be dating taylor lautner...idk. i aint mad at her though. like i said she got buzzzz.

plasticines_their video for the song bitch premieres. check it out. it played at exactly the perfect time on last weeks gossip girl episode (im still trynna find out who designed jennys dress)

daily fashion tip_idk. theres so many things now that im all in the cool aid. let us see (pondering.... pondering...) sequins!!! their awesome you cant even lie and thanks to the whole lot of them popping up all over you dont even have to resict them to night time only outfits. just don't overload dear, we dont want you to catch any saturday night fever or anything of that sort.

Oh Jimmy...

so if you didnt get the message yesterday that i was in distress about brands closing then you should reread it.

anyway hm is debuting the jimmy choo for hm, line tmrw. get to the store early. there giving out wristbands and times you are "allowed" to view the collection. get there early doll face i dont know how many shoes are gonna be left by the time you finish sleeping late. go to the website and check out the details. even if you dont go to hm, shop for bob sakes.

daily fashion tip_brooch.they are definetly handy for holding up all those heavy scarves youll be wearing to "brace yo self(fool)(sorry i couldnt resist)" for the cold. grandma's will do just fine. nothing like an heirloon to keep the air out.(hehehehehe. okay sorry ill stop.)

xoxo_stella

Swing Low

ok so i have no clue where this comes from.
actually i do but pay attention cause im in the mood for speaking in riddles.
i wear white shirts every week day until further notice (damn you public schools.) sometimes i can sneak into the side door and get away with it but more than not im in a white t. now contrary to the objections of ppl i bought plain v necks. ppl thought these where inappropriate for school nd im like you just dont know what cool is. so today i bring you my favorite pics of people in white t's, white dress, and white things. cause lets be honest, white is the absense of all color, and its only a frumpy white t if you wear it like one. duhh

had to mention my two favorite bad boys james dean and marlon brando.

elie sabb couture 2009 (my future prom dresses...)

the gap white t's

lady gaga and blair waldorf

cathrine mcneil with rouland mouret in a dress by his design at the met gala and deyn on the victor and rolf runway.

chanel classic

paramore

chanel resort 2010

the beatles (best band ever!!!) an i fyou say they suck thats like saying sliced bread didnt change the way you make a sandwich; all lies.

chanel 2009. the sad part is i actually like the head pieces better than the clothing, but hey it all works together quite lovingly.

david beckham.... y so serious doll?

i love this picture. it's gisele in w magazine (alexander wang dress). it's from the w magazine my mommy sent me when i went to camp one summer. made my week.

daily fashion tip_petals. im talking bout the little things you put over your boobies. yes i do realize that boobies are natural and nipples stick out but sometimes you just gotta say, am i showing to much nip nip (as i call it.) cause lets be honest who wants to be tagged the next day in a photo where your boobs are the main part of the frame, not your face, because you had too much nip nip...
