New Year's Resolution

Firstly, I've come back! Yay! I've been so busy, and now, since it's winter break, I feel so free it's unbelievable.

Well, with a new year (and new decade) comes new inspiration. I think recently, I've become really dark or whatnot. Now, I'm drifting towards androgynist-- as in oxford shirts, cut-offs, etc. I also like the idea of adding a classic touch: red lipstick, feminine jewelry. Here's my inspiration for the next year.

I'll be posting an end of the year playlist by the end of this week. Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!

If only, if only...

We had an early dismissal from school today. And no rehearsal...and no tests (well, physics--- I'm in regular physics, who cares?). I'M FREE FOR ONCE!

I'm currently watching Flight of the Conchords. "Sally," if any of you care.

But, anyways, Paris Fashion Week is just around the corner, and I was thinking what I would wear if I was invited. Or just to any fashion week in general. But, I thought that you have to balance comfort and chic. You're running around all day! So, here's my idea:

Jil Sander shirt, Giles & Brother necklace, Philip Crangi cuff, Lanvin bag, Givenchy boots, J Brand jeans

First of all, I always feel comfortable in a pair of jeans and an over-sized oxford shirt. If I have the choice to wear that pairing everyday, I would without doubt.

And who could pass up the opportunity to wear Givenchy boots?

I realize this post is REALLY late. So please bear with me!

I smelt your scent on the seatbelt.

My current loves...in a love square, to put it cornily.

I know this is a fashion blog, but I really am interested in a lot of things equally, such as music, art, literature, and movies. Oh, and the taste of candy, haha.

And as you can see, no Beatles/George Harrison. You guys should already know I love them/him already.

Oh, loved and appreciated the feedback from the last post! I really appreciate it.

What are your current loves and obsessions?

That was then, this is now...

A year ago, I posted this Polyvore on my old blog City Chic Please (don't you just hate the name) entitled "My Obsessions."

Cheap Monday jeans, Hermes Birkin bag, Rayban Wayfarers, Alexander McQueen clutch, Chanel red lipstick, Givenchy blakc eyeliner, Tom Binns bangle, *DEEP BREATH* random fedora, Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats, Burberry Prorsum dress, AA leisure dress, M by MJ guitar watch necklace, Alexander McQueen skull scarf, B.Pror. boots, random black tights

Well, talk about A LOT. Here's my obsessions now, one year later. And cut down about 20 items.

T by Alexander Wang tank dress, See by Chloe blazer, "Blonde on Blonde" album (have had this album for months, but still love it), George Harrison (LOVE HIM), YSL ring, YSL red-orange lipstick, grey nail polish, Stella McCartney mesh heels, Proenza Schouler PS1 bag

Enough said. I've lost all sense of color.

No more shackles.

(clockwise from right)
Stand By Me movie poster, Rayban Clubmaster sunglasses, Diana F+ camera and 120 mm film, Blank studded cut-off shorts, Antik Batik sandals, Chloe Heloise bag, On The Road by Jack Kerouac, Moleskine journal, Poupee de Son- France Gall, vintage headphones, Vanessa Bruno Athe t-shirt, Pamela Love necklace

A Monthly Review- March 2009

Gosh, I'm a horrendous blogger. It's April 5th, and I'm doing a Monthly Review for last month. And commenting back...don't start there.

Anyways, I just came back from a trip to Upstate NY to visit family. It was an okay trip besides the horrible weather.

Okay, enough rambling Gin. Here's my post:

FAVORITE SONG:

Tell the World- Vivian Girls

I have a sudden addiction to the Vivian Girls. They're not even that good, no offense. But, this song has been stuck in my head for at least 2 weeks. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

MOST NEEDED ITEM:

Ecote Pyramid Gladiator Sandal

In my first Monthly Review, I post some studded sandals. These kick thoses' (gramatical error? Who knows) asses. LOOK AT THESE. Pure awesomeness crafted into a shoe. I'm in love.

LIFE MAKER OF THE MONTH:

OPI on Collins Ave. Nail Color

So, I got a manicure for the first time for my birthday with 3 of my closest friends. I had trouble deciding upon a color, and I picked this really bright one hesitantly. It is great! I love it so much. Of course, it's chipped by this point, but it really stands out against my grey wardrobe. I really recommend it.

A Monthly Review- February 2009

February went so fast that I forgot to post a Monthly Review.

FAVORITE SONG:

Norwegian Wood- The Beatles

Let me go to say that The Beatles is my favorite band of all time. And I've been listening to them so much lately, and I've fallen even more in love with "Norwegian Wood." Besides "Because," it's my favorite Beatles song, and this video has some really cool rare footage of the band.

MOST NEEDED ITEMS:

1) Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shoes

2) Alexander Wang Croc Blazer

3) Boy by Band of Outsiders Pants

4) Herve Leger Dress

5) Jenni Kayne Glasses

LIFE MAKER OF THE MONTH:

NEW YORK/LONDON FASHION WEEK

Need I say more?

I kind of sort of want...

...these desperately.

Posso the Spat The Subject Boot (Revolve Clothing)

(And I apologize for not updating often. Student staff for theatre takes up all my time. Middle schoolers: if you're ever offered to do student staff as a freshman, don't do it. It's a hard love-hate relationship.)

A Monthly Review- January 2009

I thought it would be interesting to do a monthly thing on my obsessions of the month. I have no clue if it will work out or not, but I'll see what I can.

FAVORITE SONG:

Space For Rent- Who Made Who I was actually recommended the remix by Nat, and I loved the original as much too! It's so addicting. The lyrics may be not that amazing, but the beat is just great.

MOST NEEDED ITEM:

Ecote Studded SlingbackI saw these a while back, and I thought they'd be a great addition to my summer wardrobe. They're very much me, and plus, they're not boots, so my feet won't be dying this summer.

LIFE MAKER OF THIS MONTH:

Jay's Beautiful FaceMust love Jay from The City. And also, just for my integrity, I hate MTV, but I love The City.

(Oh, by the way, saw Bride Wars today. Surprisingly good! It was a really sweet movie, if you want to see it.)

p.c.: 1, 2

(2/1/09: YES!! THE STEELERS WON!! I'm exstatic right now. Amazing, just amazing.)

I need shoes.

Talk about me being busy! I apologize for not being to comment back a ton of people. It's called musical starting.


But, anyways, I looked at my closet floor the other day, and I realized how poor of a shoe collection I own. I need to stock up on shoes. My last shoe purchase, I believe, was a pair of Converses. Not bad, I must admit, but I need some more stylish shoes.

But, any affordable suggestions?

PS: Thanks for all the comments everyone.

We wish you a Merry Christmas...today...

Well, I got an early Christmas present from mi padre.



Isn't it pretty?

Well, actually, I've been pining it for a while, and I actually bought it WITH my dad. So, yeah, does it make sense now?

But, I'm really so androgynous, and this bag adds a bit of my happy flair plus adds some color to my grey/navy/black wardrobe.

(It's actually not the benign red you always see. It's really different and beautiful.)

(And it's Marc by Marc Jacobs, easily one of my favorite brands...)

Well, that's all I have to say. Christmas is in...what? 2 DAYS! Excited.

I might update on Christmas or after. Otherwise, happy Chanukah to all Jewish readers out there...

EDIT: I got the Canon Powershot for Christmas. Actually, the exact same one I posted (the one that looks like a chocolate bar). Let me say that it looks 10x prettier in real life.
Pictures hopefully soon!!
