I don’t design clothes. I design dreams. -Ralph Lauren

Well, yesterday morning I had my wisdom teeth removed for the new year… ugh. But the good news is, all day I’ve been online shopping and extremely excited for my purchases. The first one I found is this amazing Love Quotes scarf in Portobello. I first saw it on Lauren Conrad and then about a million other celebrities, which kind of turned me off but it looks so soft and fabulous & I love the color!

And wow.. would you look at this WildFox Couture Love Potion #9 shirt?? I was looking through my closet and I didn’t have any fun, simple tees like this, and I’m absolutely obsessed with this one. It reminds me of my favorite Chanel #9 perfume, duh! Now my favorite purchase of all are these Balenciaga knock-off motorcycle boots! They are fucking fabulous and I cannot wait to wear them on my feet!

I also snagged this cute little grey shirt and a racerback thats just super simple and chic.

Well, as soon as I get all these goodies in the mail I’ll post up some pics of me in them!!

As for 2010?! I can’t wait. My main resolution is to be happier. I want to be more confident, more weird, laugh more, embrace the positive, fill up the glass, & just be me and be happy with that!

Hope you all have some great resolutions and a fabulous 2010 wardrobe!

Until then,

Your Faithful Fashionista

well hey there, it has literally been FOREVER. i am so sorry! things have been fucking crazy around my house and school and just everything… but thats personal life SNOOZE.. onto my real life– fashion!!! I have been doing some crazy great shopping since I last wrote and I think my personal style has changed a bit . I’ve been vintage shopping quite a bit, have gotten into boots, peacoats, the color RED, jean vests, black jeans & every once in a while some shredded ones, my favorite quirky kitty sweater, T-shirts with pockets, etc. I’ve been inspired by some of my favorite TV shows as well– True Blood, 90210, Entourage, Big Love, Melrose Place, Vampire Diaries, etc. I’ve been really inspired by water as well, I’m taking AP environmental science and reading and writing a lot about deep sea adventures, and I made an aquarium! I had 3 guppies, n they had 20 babies! Then I got some bottom feeders and plants and I don’t know I just feel the ocean and fish in the clothing I wear.

Until then,

P.S. Stay beautiful! And stay tuned for more… I’m baaaaaack.

my trip to LA.

leschicfashion — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:36:10 +0000

I just got back from LA on Monday and man… was it an awesome trip! I did so much shopping I almost feel a bit guilty! My favorite stores were Fred Siegal, American Rag, and Alexander McQueen. Of course I wasn’t able to shop at Mr.McQueen’s store but it was amazing for browsing. My favorite buy is probably my new Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag in fuschia. It is absolutely fabulous. I bought mostly neutrals because for fall I think having neutrals with that bright handbag will be awesome. I also got a pair of big boots like Prada’s fall wader boots. They are quite fabulous and I am wearing them in the picture to the left. I loved LA! We stayed at this amazing house in Venice Beach a block from Abbot Kinney and 3 blocks from the beach. I went to this Hollywood party for a friend of mine who’s daughter is Josy Maran amazing model and actress! I met her and her amazing daughter Rumi, her boyfriend Ali, his sister who styles Britney and The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O, and her sister who styles Heidi Klum. It was amazing and such a great experience. I would love to see them again and wow Josy is beautiful! By the way, her makeup line is amazing, you should check it out. Anyways, my trip was awesome, I totally apologize for the no updates recently but I’m back!! And we’ll be writing much more.

Until then,

A good model can advance fashion by ten years. -Yves Saint Laurent

What to wear on a girls night out??! It’s definitley a challenge, but heres some ideas that I would totally rock. First, the librarian chic look. (far left: Givenchy bracelet, Nancy Caten bracelet, Dolce and Gabbana sling-backs, Miu Miu gloves, Mod Genius glasses, topshop tunic, Modax skirt)

The next is a super sleek and sexy black dress. Very classy and sexy with the classic red lips. (Bodycon dress from Oasis, debenhams stud earrings, Yves Saint Laurent lipstick in red strass, and cheetah ankle boots from fabsugar)

And the last is a super sexy modern acid wash jean with a corsette. You’ll have heads turning in this outfit. (Desire corsette, J Brand acid washed jeans, Charlotte Olympia wedges, Burberry chain bracelet, Yves Saint Laurent charm bracelet, and Alex and Ani bangle set.)

Any of these looks and you’ll be the envy of every girl you walk past. TRUST ME.

Yours fashionably,

beauty is only skin deep

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” -Kahil Gibran

Richard Avedon, the famed fashion photagrapher, who’s work changed a nation, was recently tributed at the MOMA museum in San Francisco. The exhibit was very diverse and well put together. Each potrait seemed to be portrayed in the way he wanted it to be and nothing was “too risky”. Avedon had the gift of very surreal pictures. No matter how real a picture may be, somehow it could never be boring through his camera lense. He really captured the art of showing the essence of people. The beauty he saw in his portaits was no superficial, he saw things truly for what they were and wanted to capture that feeling. In each photo, you could see inside the people through their eyes, like an opening to the soul. You saw them for what they truly were. From what I saw at this exhibit, Avedon thought that things were beautiful on their own, he didn’t want any fake or superficial feelings or thoughts. He chose to use close ups most of the time because they showed the realness of people, they showed people’s flaws. He wanted to show pain, and that people were not perfect. In these pictures, I was struck by how beautiful these flaws became. He made wrinkles look beautiful, showed freckles, arm hairs, creases, lines, everything, and it was all beautiful. He embraced the simpleness and just let peopel be who they were. There were no backgrounds, no distractions, just them. He embraced people who just were who they were, cross dressers, bee keepers, body art, snake skinners, but also the regular people. The farmers, oil workers, just average people. He makes ugly seem pretty… bags under eyes, graying hairs, balding, wrinkles, scars, these are all respresented as beauty in their own ways in his photographs. He is showing who people are on the inside, that beauty is really only skin deep. He wanted to express who people were, and did so by letting them be themselves, no backdrops, no directions, just them. It is a wonderful exhibit that truly shows the art of an incredible artist who will always be remembered.

Check out this exhibit at the MOMA from July 11-November 29.

I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.
-Coco Chanel

So, yesterday I had this plan to go to Steve Madden, get these black boots with studded heels, and rock them for my Academy of Art casting call. But, as i tried them on, something didn’t feel right. I was wearing a tight black and white american apparel dress and i looked kind of… hoochy! Suddenly I spotted this all white with wooden bottoms pair of oxford melins. I was in shock. I’m not really into the “dorky chic” look but these were like a godsend! i tried them on and whamo. My outfit suddenly turned from slutty to stylish. I was totally and completely flabbergasted! Well, since I’ve gotten them, I’ve worn them three days in a row and have gotten a lot of compliments. How many of you ladies out there are a fan of the new menswear trend? Shoulder pads, blazers, loose fitting pants, button up shirts… Hmm let’s take a look. Roxxy on Style.com said, “I have a few pairs of sloutchy, highwasted trousers that only seem to look good when paired with something minimal and non-busy on top. I also like paisley ties, vests, and oxford tie shoes. I love the look personally, but i just have to be a little careful because i have a very slight stature and can get lost in the clothes if they are too boxy.” I have to agree with her on this, because I, too, am a 00 in pants and can very easily look like a little 8 year old boy in too-baggy of clothes! Ashley on the other hand…
As some of you may know, I have a girlfriend and we are extreme… opposites. I am more feminine and into creative arts while she is more androgyness and very athletic. And she has a totally different style then me. And frankly, I wish I could dress more like her. Its so simple! All you need is a few pairs of loose-fitting jeans, different colored tall tees, a few sweaters, a few pairs of shoes, and voila! You look stylish and sexy. But us girly ones, have to deal with accessories, seperates, dresses, skirts, slouchy or tight tees, tennies, heels, boots, flats, AHH!!! Its insane! So, I’ve been trying to keep things simple as well. Not quite like that… but like the new shoes! I also looked at Jean Paul Gaultier’s collection and some of the menswear on women clothing was soo… foxy! Its so simple and sleek and I love it. I showed it to my girlfriend and she said she’d where every piece! Hey, I gotta get on that for our anniversary . But heres a crazy thought… is simple men’s chic sometimes sexier than heels and a short skirt? I’m beginning to think its possible!
Well, I’ll always love my heels and cocktail dresses but maybe I could add a few pairs of oxford melin’s as well!

Fashion for thought!,
