I die.

It's Fashion Week. Therefore, I must speak Rachel Zoe-ese, obviously. Duh. Of course.

Really enjoyed Erin Wasson's collection. Except I live in New England. Cold. Most of the time. And my body's not that much of a wonderland. I feel so uncomfortable showing off my abs like Freja in the first look. But, otherwise, super fantastic. (And Irina's pixie cut? Kind of sorta AWESOME.)

When I first saw this, I almost screamed. I LOVE! J'DORE! ME ENCANTA! (Sorry Spanish speakers, can't do the upside down exclamation point.) I'm wearing this to prom, enough said. Or if I suddenly get invited to some chic event in place of an awful school dance, then yes. (I hate dances.)

On my old blog, City Chic Please, I wrote a love letter to David Neville and Marcus Wainwright. Yet again, they have read my mind. They design so much to my aesthetic, it's creepy. I would write another love letter, but that would be really overdoing it. (Oh, if you want to read my former love letter, click here.)

Please bound and gag the tacky beach setting. But, the clothes were really awesome. Not as great as the S/S 09 lookbook with Kirsten Dunst. I still liked this collection though.

Will. Wear. This. Outfit. AH! This wasn't my favorite A.Wang collection (I'm a big fan of his early collections), but I loved the whole twisted Americana feel to this one. And I will put my hair in a braid sometime soon. Kind hard---my hair's curly. But, the battle will be on!

I've been so busy lately from school/fall play (director! whoohoo!)/family stuff that I'm pretty much collapsing from stress...hence me being a week late on this blog post. Just as a warning, it might take as long for the next post too.

And Brit, if you're reading this, I will forever miss NYC Art Style. RIP

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.

Freedom

I love this look. I would wear the sweater over a black tank dress with Rodarte studded boots. What a divine outfit...

I'm done with finals, did my SAT World History this morning, and only have 6 more days until the last day of school. It's basically a pointless 4 days of school then a move-up day.

But, basically, I'm free!!

Oh, how do you like the new layout? I might change the posts back to 3 a page again. And if you don't know those two guys in the picture, that's Bob Dylan and George Harrison. They're basically my two favorite musical people ever. You should definitely check out their duets from Concert for Bangladesh.

PS: Brit, darling, I can't comment your posts! I have no idea, but there's no comment box! I thought I would like to tell you that. <3

A Monthly Review- April 2009

It's already the end of April. What??

But, quick Monthly Review. A TON of homework!

FAVORITE SONG:

Lisztomania- Phoenix

Duh. Enough said. This is the new official video. I love!

MOST NEEDED ITEM:Pair of Black Pants

Black pants, how I need you so. I'm such a monochromatic freak (Grey and I are, lyk, omg, BESTIES!), and I've been begging for a chic, well-fitting pair that doesn't look like I'm about to perform in an orchestra.

LIFE MAKER OF THE MONTH:

About 40 Thai exchange students arrived at my school 2 weeks ago, and I always become involved in the program. This year, there is one girl who I met who is extremely stylish. She even has a Miu Miu purse! My jealousy (well, actually, I only like Miu Miu bags, but that's for another post)! Anyways, here's the one thing she said that totally made me die...in a Rachel Zoe way:

Friend: "So, do you know who Alexander Wang is?"

Shocked, I immediately reply how much I love him. Yes, I have finally met someone in the flesh who loves Alexander Wang! This is how sad my town/life is.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Believe me, after this hard week, I'm craving for it...

A Lisztomania, think less but see it grow...

(from top left corner) Blazer- Topshop, Dress- American Apparel, Bracelet- Alexander McQueen, Boots- Humanoid, Tights- Urban Outfitters, Bag- Alexander Wang

This justs sums up my style philosophy. I think you have to be comfortable and feel good (confident-wise) in what you wear. It doesn't have to match; it has to be you. Haha, "think less" in what you wear (Please ignore my stupid jokes).

Fashion Week F/W 09

So, being that I just came home from a horrific cast party (I had to see Shopaholic again at 3 in the morning. It was a horrendous movie, yet again. No one listened to me..."You're always such a harsh critic, Gin. Maybe it's good?" Everyone fell asleep.), I never knew that something like a "party" could be so tortuous. Journey blaring from the speakers? Having a horrible selection of movies?

Oh, by the way, we rented out a movie theatre for our musical cast party. It was so dumb.

ANYWAYS, the only reason I find myself alive right now at 6:51 in the morning and not being dead for about a week is fashion week. Or all fashion weeks. My favorites? I had some...


Alexander Wang really redeemed himself from his last collection, which I personally didn't like much. Now, he knows his own skin concernning design, and he'll probably stay comfortable in that skin for a long time to come. And hey, that's a benefit to all of us, right?


I was suprised by Burberry this season. It was so simplistic. Okay, it was borderline boring, but I, not wearing a color brighter than white, liked it a lot. I would wear a ton of pieces from the collection and can't wait to grab inspiration for my wardrobe from it.


I also really enjoyed Rodarte. The boots, I must admit, aren't really practical but beautiful none the less. And the clothes! The amazing clothes! Such a great aesthetic.

What are your opinions on Fashion Week[s]?

Oh, and I want to say I will be updating more often and hopefully outfit posts soon. I'll have to see what happens concerning school (aka Chemistry), but I'll finally be back.

(And if none of this makes sense, it's about 7 in the morning.)

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?

Alexander Wang: Uber love?

So, I was actually really disappointed by Alexander Wang's S/S 09 collection. I dunno, I never wear color. It wasn't me. And plus, I'm not sporty. I died last summer during summer gym (summer gym is when you have to take gym over the summer, so you could have gotten a lunch the next school year, which I still didn't due to bad scheduling on my councilor's part...).

But, I saw this all black collection with some white, which just epitomizes me in general, and I just died inside. I went bananas (yes, Rachel Zoe-ism indeed). I can't decide what I like more: the amazing flat boots, the fantastic geometric cuff, the Margiela-esque white oxford shirts, or just...everything! It was so good. Hence the crappy, paint valentine above.

On another note, I finally got the Metro Chic nail polish from Sephora after a couple months of it being sold out. It's an amazing color, and I can't wait to paint my nails tonight.

And since none of you got where my writing thing was loosely based upon, here's the giveaway.
