Daydream Nation

so im working on a list of what you should get for spring accessories but in the mean time buy a heavy knit scarf. if your not i a cold place by a decorative scarf like hermes, you know something with and interesting pattern and what not.

here are some cool ways to tie your hermes scarf so you dont look like a bank robber or tie it in that hippster style that everybody is copping like copper pennys.

this last one is my favourite

The Lion Sleeps Tonight

so im feeling the roar. jkjkjkjk. but seriously ive been peeping alot of animal prints and i wanted to share that with you. not all of these pictures are new, that is true, but they all have some reason for being posted.
the main one would be that i think their badass but it's whatever you like so take a look and get inspired...

lilly allen_no i dont suggest you go out into the street with your bra and panties but theres nothing wrong with doing it in your own house...

sienna miller_im not to crazy about this outfit but i feel that it came from some type of perspective so it should be considered...

cartier_this watch from the les must collection has got the masses purring. check out the other ones.

givenchy_k so this a throw back but its fantasmical none the less. i think its from the fall 07 collection...

joseph leapord coat, 816 madison ave, nyc_it has fur. but see the thing is its printed and that ok casue some printed furs look tacky but this is most deff firece.

tory burch_2010 spring line. its alot more reptile like but its still an animal so i put it in.

giambattista valli_spring 2010 again. i love the fringe in the coat and the peep of color into that dress.

christian louboutin_i dont know if these sneaks are still available but my friend had a pair just like them except they were by nike and they had purple laces. that child is such a card. but anyway they pretty awesome so you can rule your own concrete jungle.

street cred
_the vicoria secret fashion show airs tonight on cbs. if you dont aprove of women walking around in their undies on tv then think of it like this. yes there is the underwear and skin and what not, but there are also fantasmical wings and accesories that show has some of the best sets and the creativity that goes into aspects that are not skin and lingere and what not are worth looking at.

daily fashion tip_camera. click click click. and dont be bashful you know you like those flashes. a little hint though, its been proven that your friends take better pictures of you the you can of yourslef because they see whats great about those things you dont. its also acceptable to have a pro take your picture but this camera is just for fun. even better, get your best moments on video. pick up the flip.com smile camera. smile love!!!

spring 2010 nyc deux

ello puppet.

so i just wanted share with you that on style.com they have a little tib bit they have on overalls. you just might wanna check that out. looks like the jumpers gonna have competition....

anyhoo here are some more nyc fashion week overviews. enjoy.

diane von furstenberg
knows how to make a dress that women want to wear.

that said. she did get a few tailored looks in her show. very nice, very nice. hippie frocks and safari suits. gotta love the bathing suits peppered in here and there. oh and the bangles up to the models elbows!!! are my new signature thing for spring.

helmut lang

this duo is doing denim for spring. i peeped a paneled miniskirt and a motojackets. there where alot of harme pants though. im not really a fan of that. im not sure i understand the need for a really low croch unless your a man but it is what it is.

isaac mizrahi

oh he's just so much fun fun fun. his show he named astaire case or obstacle course, and it was nothing less. unfinished lapels and tulle that looked like it was wrapped around the body. the rain machine in the background (and the golf cart)? im not to sure i loved that but the sequin dresses, black and white numbers, and the chiffons i did adore. p.s. the hats are just too awesome.

oscar de la renta

luxury is jus so lovely. even if you dont like fashion, how could you ever turn your back on one of his creations without ate least reaching out and trying to touch the embriodery and fabric with your hands? thats what i thought. his was rich in color (orange, purple, teal, a lime green)and rich in everything. there was a safari jumpsuit that im probably going to end up trying to find an imitation for. thought it wont come close the teal was just phantasmical. plus a bronze linen trench and creamy tweeds. my heart flew out the wizz-aow (window.)

elie tahari

some tailored looks popped up and i was like whoa mama! but they were nice. a menswear pant, rolled up sweat pants, and i do believ a jersey t. quite a lot of orange in the beginning but there were other colors a yellow at the end a bit of white through out. effort lessly gorgeous drewssing none the less.

jason wu

twenty six and oh my bob i hope i can do what he does one day. i love how hes alway challenging himself, this year with luxe fabrics and playful like designs like a navy tweed hood (holla). one shoulder gowns out the wizz-aow and a denim silk romper fortish thing. peep the tulip skirt and the electric limey green belt on a strapless pink feather gown. when i get some money me and his closet will be bffs. plus he pulled out the awesome candy colored platform strappy heels

ok well thats it for new york. if there are anyother new york shows you wanna know about just tell me. and for the love of bob comment on my post i need feedback thats the only way to build constuctively.

daily fashion tip_color. well what with the ongoing parade of patterned fabrics, low crotches, and utterly desturbing over ripped lace shirts, its time for some reform. buy a super colorful something made out of an outrageous fabric. like a teal wide sleeve jacket, a pink feather dress with a lime belt, a lipstick red suit, or an embroidered trench. that way you can wear everything else extra simple like. and do yourself a favor, just dont wear the exact same look as the look on the runway. i dont care, what objections you have, your a copy cat if you do. be true, do you, colorfully.

Rise of the Cobra

good evening ladies and gentlemen.

i just want to have a huge round of applause for alexander mcqueen (insert your applause here.)
i saw his show yesterday and after being mind bloggled to a point where i could not condense the information, i decided to write on it today. packed was the word, the air was sparky and it was a production if i ever saw one. ap-perently the site that was supposed to stream the show live, crashed. it's up and running now, but my goodness it was just electric.

snake scale replications, heels liek pointed toe ballerina feet, and hair liek fangs! the mans a dreamweaver because the show was cosmic. before the final run through people where clapping. that is a good show. all the dresses where short with reptile prints the colors change from green, brown, and blue shades that complimented the construction of each garment. fantabulous!!!!! i've put in some of my favorite looks for your viewing pleasure.

p.s. tmrw i will be giving you my thoughts on chanel, chloe, and valentino. get ready for a whole new world.

daily fashion tip_list. now everyone lieks to splurge but as your friend i want you to write a list of things you want for this spring. everything from furniture to clothing to a promotion or kick ass report card or vacation. write it down. then mark the things you already have in green (try higlighter), the things you want in red, and then circle the things you can make happen. as you get each thing done check it off. it's an it list for an it girl.

Such a Star they call me Star Spangled

so spring collections are starting to wrap up. *tear.
i cant share with you every collection i've seen but i hope the ones i've written about got you excited and inspired. however, yestrday i promised i would tell you all about stella mccartney (if it werent for my extreme fatigue i could have told you earlier)

stella is just an awesome name, at least i think so. for awesome names there are awesome collections and boy was i pleased when i saw those flouncing ruffles, military like patterns, bright burst of color, and more sheer pandamonium flounce down stella mccartneys runway in paris. (in case you didnt already know im color biased. i do love blue, it looks fantasmical against my skin and waters just so delicious) so it was no surprise that i was thrilled when out comes a pair of menswear style bright blue pants. I almost yelped in joy. i also believe i saw an asymetrical long sleeved shirt with bloomer liek bottoms. talk about ur sexy back. check out the looks for your self on her website, found in my shoppers paradise links. i do adore the ruffles as well.

daily fashion tip_moderation. i think that the perfect closet is a qunique mix of masculine and femme. leaning towards on side is great but dont discrimante the more you mix the more your outfit reflects you (this also stems from my belief that wearing and outfit entirely designed by one person is tacky (this excludes dresses, suits, and shoes) if ur cap is polo, and ur shirt is polo, and ur socks are polo, and ur watch is polo, ur boxers, ur sneakers, jacket, colonge, and undershirt are polo, you damn well better be in a polo tornament or else ur just a walking hunk of polo.) i just wanted to throw those observations out there. logo city is just not pretty.

TIme Drains

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.

when i was checking out alexander pre spring/summer 2010 line and i do believe im in love. from strapping dresses, quite literally, to paint splatters, shoulders of steel, and wasp like lace overlaying yellow dresses. and to my surpeise what did i spy? open toed boots!! this is going to be a big one for spring ladies better start making those pedicure appointment early. my favorite looks are 40, 12, 14, and 22.

daily fashion tip_lace. for spring im peeping lots of sheer pandemonium. romanticism and hard heavy street wear. maybe some splatered jeans with a lace tank under a fall blazer? possibilities are endless. deconsructed, lingere showing, structured. but dont forget that pretty lace. truly scrumptious.\

Street Walker

yesterday i was watching the pirates of the caribbean three. oh dear god my love of pirates increses everytime i watch it. now, im no fan of johhny depp (i think hes a marvelous actor, hot? not so much) but his pirate talk is the saviest? i've watched the movie so many times but yesterday i discovered a new favorite scene. its at the very end when the east india trading companys ship is being destroyed after the whoorlpool scene. the main man, cant remember his name, has realized that the term "just buisness" swings bothh ways. so he walks down the steps towards the deck and in a beautiful moment of cinematography, the cannons blow the entire ship up behind him every time he takes a step another part of the ship explodes. then the entire ship is blown to bits, main man going with it. talk about down for the cause. how does this relate to fashion? military jackets, tailored, brass button, and those lovely wrist length sleeves. i wore the one i bought from h&m last year as a tribute. find your own and just go where ever the wind takes you. yo ho, yo ho, pirates life for me.

the balenciaga 2010 spring line is enough to get you talking. my favorite part of each of their collections? the shoes!!!! from tottering heels to this seasons open toed boots i remained stupified of the craftsman ship. this season they went for street appeal. lots of leather, lots of sheer. some of the pieces even have a play-doh look that surprsingly works. unlike the bloomer/nicker bottoms we've been seeing and the exposed lingere, nicholas ghesquière as pioneered yet again with a fierce as all get out sports wear straight leg pant!!!! all the pieces have an athletic feel but maintain the great construction we expect from balenciaga. check out look number 24 at style.com. its my favourite.

daily fashion tip_drapes. take a hint from ceaser and do the grecian thing. no im not talking about a toga party. there are hundreds of flattering drape styles out there this fall from skirts, dresses, to gowns. they enhance hour glass figures, hide love handles, and add curves where you never though you had them. helen of troy would be proud.

Life is a Show

bonsoir! i do believe the parisan spirit has taken hold of me today.

my show synopsis for you today is marc jacobs. i truly adore marc jacobs collections because he is fashion forward. some designers talk about their working brining the past into the future, yet, marc jacobs is one of the few who actually winks at the past and nods at the future at the same time. his fall collection was and eighties showdown. bright neons and leggings galore. if you think pat benatar is so yesterday think again. many designers for the fall have revisited the eighties because many of the new up and coming designers grew up in those times. no, it was no the grunge eighties marc gave us. he gave us the eighties of fab and glam and guarntee that no matter where you go, love is a battle feild and with an outfit like his, you must be on the winning side.

his spring collection screams a few words; ruffles, sheer, sparkle, pearl, and flats. I do not believe their was a heel in the entire show. you may think this odd, but these flats are not to be juged on their size but on the content of the simple flair. many people where siting the seventies in the softness of his collection but i think romance had the biggest effect on his ideals for spring. (romance is big for spring). he also showcased quite a few bloomers. no these are not to be worn under clothes their far to fabulous. the chloe 2009 spring show also show cased some bloomers and it seems liek under wear is making a come back. check out  the satin ones he pairs with sheer legings in a lilac, silver, and muave, ensemble known formaly as look number 35.

there is also some plaid. hint hint the youth of the east coast have become very fond of plaid  (i.e. my peers) and it proves that we knew something you didn't know. in the end, however, it seems that my favorite part of all of marc jacobs shows are his coats. a good trench is a good trench no matter how you style it and if you dont believe me take it up with sherlock.

daily fashion tip_vaseline. i can not tell you how many crusty crackly lips i have seen as the weather is getting colder. slap something on them please! burt bee's has fantastic lip balm and if u want to keep it simple stop by cvs and pick up a chapstick. even if you have tiny lips, or luscious full ones, remeber that crust belongs on pizza not your face.
