How to find your own individual style:


I am a teenager and the idea of who I am changes quite often and with it my clothes. It's a natural thing at this age. You tend to place yourself into pigeon holes so you have a clearer sense of who you are. I won't get all psychological on you haha. But there are ways, if you feel your wardrobe does not reflect you and your amazing personality, to show who you are. Fashion is the simplest way of showing your identity to the world without opening your mouth. It's an art form.  


- First you have to ask yourself a lot of questions. 

• What inspires you? It could be anything, like an ant crawling on the pavement, a certain type of music, patterns, colours. Just think about it. 
• What's your lifestyle like? Wearing stilettos while running a marathon is not the brightest idea. 
• What time period are you drawn to? You should never look like you came out of a time machine. Mix, for example, vintage with modern.
• Who's style do you love and why? There's no harm in getting ideas from somebody else's wardrobe. No one is completely original, no matter how hard they try. Every thing or thought has been done or thought before. A great website for some fashion inspiration is Lookbook.

Incorporate all these answers into how you would like to structure your wardrobe. If you want, you can also create an inspiration board where you can place pictures, posters, newspaper clipping, etc. to help you. 


- You don't need money to have great style. If your style is say hobo chic, go to the Salvation army and not to Old Navy, for crying out loud. People pay lots of money to look poor these days! Note: Please wash clothes from formerly used clothes that you get from second hand shops. I've heard stories...


- There are a few items every girl should have, no matter her style. These include:

• Black pumps
• Neutral Handbag
• White, buttoned up shirt
• LBD (Little Black Dress)

- Lastly, have fun! Don't take it too seriously. If it's crazy, who cares? Just be yourself and don't care what anybody else thinks. The people who care don't mind and the people who mind don't matter. :)

Note: You can incorporate this into your makeup, hair, etc. 

My Booties for Fall 

The camera does no justice!! I got them relatively recently from Nine West but the lighting washes them out and makes them look like they're my grandma's shoes from the days she wanted to be a nun. Anywho, they are very pretty in real life and I can't wait to wear them.. Although I'm scared to wear wedges or heels to school because 1.) I might trip and fall in the halls because of my complete lack of co-ordination 2.) I don't want my feet to hurt all day 

Should I or shouldn't I? That is the question.

The Price of Beauty


Sorry I've been away for a while! I've been horribly busy with the beginning of school.
And as a result I've missed reviews for some incredibly amazing designers showing for Spring 2010.
But anyways..
I have a question for you guys (or, rather, for the one person who's reading my blog hahah)
What's the most you've spent on an item related to fashion, beauty, etc.?
What's the price you would pay for beauty?


The reason I'm asking is because perhaps it'll justify my reason for going out and spending so much money recently. Yes, I know, there's worse. People who collect clothing, makeup, shoes and accessories probably spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and sometimes go into debt because of it. It IS addicting. Some people say it's simply stupid for spending so much money on these things, but I'm sure they haven't been molded by our society into a certain way, to think that it is perfectly reasonable to spend $2000 on a jacket.


What do you think??

Obviously this is a wish list, hahah.. but it's always fun to think about your purchases if say, you had an insane amount of disposable income.

Cynthia Rowley Spring '10 Runway Review

• haunted yet whimsical clothing
• I imagine a chic professor who wears modern clothing with a 50's flair
• shredded, yet wearable mummy dresses and pants
• square, 3Desque glasses
• oxford style with bows, blazers, brights and plenty of off-whites 

Verdict: The clothing was feminine, wearable but not a full breath of fresh air. I'll be fair.

It was nice. I'm a girly girl so I get drawn to bows and blazers and brights and so on and so forth... but it wasn't AMAZING. You know? Maybe I'm being too elusive with my explanations but what I really mean was that they weren't new enough for me. I want something different! 

Rag & Bone Spring '10 Runway Review

• military, oxford influences
• layered, relaxed and casual pieces with effortless style  
• women's pieces were layered, tailored and androgynous
• greys, greens, yellows with black and whites.
• denim rompers and jackets 

Verdict: This runway collection was so effortless and cool, the models appeared as though they just threw their outfit together without putting too much thought into it. Of course the end results were chic outfits. I could see anyone wearing this walking out and about town, in almost all age ranges. This collection's great for the professional woman who wants to wear something put-together yet casual, the cool mom dropping her kids off at school, the young fashionista walking around town and the hip woman in her 60's who can rock a black leather jacket. Thank you Rag & Bone. :)

Cynthia Steffe Spring '10 Review

• preppy styles with relaxed, sheer fabrics 
• floral prints on dresses, pants and rompers 
• gun metal metallic jackets
• whites dresses and khaki shorts and jackets
• cocktail dresses in white and metallic silver

Verdict: Plain, unoriginal and overly preppy. Florals for spring? How boring. 

One or two cocktail dresses looked nice... but other than that? no, no, no, NO.

Jason Wu '10 Spring Runway Review

• 40's vibe with feminine a-line dresses and skirts cinched at waists with belts 
• both bright and black and white tweed on suits and dresses
• ruffles, patterns, colour blocking (texture, texture, TEXTURE) but it's not overkill!
• colour blocking platforms 
• ladylike silk tops with patterns which remind me of Japanese cherry blossoms
• colourful knit sweaters with silk print skirts
• gorgeous voluminous cocktail dresses

Verdict: I love it! The collection is beautiful, wearable and extremely feminine. Parts of the collection could be used to dress women in pretty much any age range. The cocktail dresses are to die for and I already know that stylists will be picking some out for their clients to wear on the red carpet. 

Charlotte Ronson Spring '10 Runway Review

• gathers all the trends of fall '09 and makes them wearable during spring by adding sheer, white fabrics (black leather shorts with white sheer tops, acid wash denim shorts and bathing suits, black lace, etc.)
• mix of rock n' roll, military and ballet dancer 
• white high waisted leather shorts
• white suits made feminine with white or black knotted leather belts at the waist

Verdict: I was pleasantly surprise by this collection. I could actually imagine myself wearing many of the outfits. The only issue was that they were too young and trendy. Although the collection is pretty, it doesn't transcend time. I also can't imagine people older than their mid 30's reaching for these pieces. But... I did love how women could save money by mixing trends from their fall wardrobes with the transition of spring.
