What's Your Name? 2008-05-14 02:17:00 Unless you have tons of cash to throw around, buying luxe fashion items can prove to be very difficult. Personally, no one I know of has the money to walk around in an entire Dolce outfit, and even if they did, why would they? You know you're original when you purchase an entire outfit straight from the runway of any designer, but maybe I'm biased.I think that some people attach a kind of stigma w
Fierce. 2008-05-06 23:00:00 I don't know if anyone else has been watching the most recent cycle of Project Runway, but winner Christian Siriano has been whining, bitching, and making me pee my pants with laughter all the way to the top. Not having seen a single episode of this past season I may have developed a biased opinion of Christian through countless YouTube clips displaying his ridiculous obsession with the word, "fie
Posh Jacobs 2008-04-06 01:23:00 Since I enjoy this ad campaign for Marc Jacobs
so much, I thought I would take one of the images and turn it into a desktop background. Here it is at 1280 x 800 pixels. Crop and resize away!(click to enlarge)
Stella's British Beat 2008-04-05 20:51:00 This is Stella
McCartney. She is the daughter of a Beatle, Paul McCartney, however, her creative ability lies within fashion, not music. Stella consistently designs amazing, fur/animal skin free pieces and takes it upon herself to use organic materials whenever possible.Even though Stella shows her pieces in Paris fashion week semi-annually she still is sure to incorporate a British

Making Fashion Rules Less Trendy 2008-03-30 21:30:00 I've found that lately, more and more magazines, blogs, books, etc. have been creating guidelines or even strict rules for what people should and should not wear. As I no longer want to be part of this, I want it to be known that I am announcing my little disclaimer or whatever you may call it right now.So far I've talked about certain pieces of clothing/accessories that I find interesting an inno Read more:Fashion

Fashion Push 2008-03-21 03:58:00 I thought that since I haven't been any writing any entries lately that I would take the time in the middle of the night to let everyone know that I'm not dead. In fact, I've just had the life sucked out of me by a little thing called school.Anyways, back to the blog. I'm sure that many of you have heard of the fashion house named Balenciaga, especially for what head designer, Nicolas Ghesquière, Read more:Fashion
Knock the Croc 2008-02-27 23:29:00 Excuse my use of profanity, but I think this just has to be said. I'm writing this entry only because my friend Julie, told me to write about some disgusting trend and because I have a little free time on my hands.As the summer months are quickly approaching I expect to see these plastic pups out in full force along with the many flashy colors that they come in. Fantastic.Yes, I am aware of the ar Read more:Knock
Galliano's Underworld Carnival 2008-02-24 00:45:00 My first guess from looking at Mr. Galliano
's Fall/Winter 2008 collection is that he isn't going for your normal trendy fall attire, and if he is, it most definitely doesn't look like it.I selected five photographs from his runway show, which distinctly feature five different looks which culminate into some sort of horror story. Each look represents one section of John's entire Fall/Winter 2008 co Read more:Underworld

Tiring of the Industry? 2008-02-19 11:59:00 I would say that the majority of the people out there think that the fashion industry is all glamorous and fun, and that all models have to do is show up, get all prettied up, and walk down a runway. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. Being a model means long days and nights, as Reid Prebenda reiterates in this YouTube clip from Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2008 (at 3:50). It also means you
New Take 2008-02-13 01:50:00 I will definitely be giving credit to my sister for alerting me of this one. As soon as I saw the shoes at the Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer '08 Ready-to-Wear fashion show my jaw dropped, as I'm sure yours will as well. This collection, not to be confused with the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, shows about just over 50 spectacular looks for the season. I am absolutely, without a doubt in love with t
Model Feature: Hye Park & Du Juan 2008-02-09 18:23:00 As more and more Asians are hitting the runways around the world I felt that it would be cool to feature a couple of stunning faces today. These girls are at the forefront of international fashion and are slowly chipping away at the barriers to entry surrounding the fashion industry for all Asian models.Take Hye Park for instance. This girl is ridiculously gorgeous! I feature her here in one of my
My Favorites for Spring/Summer '08 2008-02-08 19:42:00 So I thought for my first official post I should let everyone know what I'm liking for guys for these fast approaching sunny seasons. Here's what I've got:1. Cardigan w/o ShirtIf your body type can pull it off then go for it! Definitely a way to look casually elegant without sweating under layers of clothing. Combine it with a pair of light cotton dress pants or trousers and you'll be ready to go. Read more:Spring

Quack, Quack? 2008-05-20 16:23:00 If you love being fashionably quirky and happen to live in an area where it rains like a mother ducker opt for a duck boot this spring/summer season. Not only will you stand out but your toes will be completely dry!Be sure to tuck your jeans or pants into the boot as you will lose the entire effect of the boot by covering them up. This is one of those silly things that if done right can make you l
The Passing of Someone Great 2008-06-08 02:38:00 After such a spell of bloglessness I've decided that it would only be fitting to write about a recent well-publicized event. Last Sunday June 1, 2008, fashion icon and creative genius, Yves Saint Laurent passed away at the age of 71 from a brain tumor. I am actually fairly impressed that his death has generated such a large media frenzy. Normally things within the fashion world are cut off from th Read more:Great
Go Freshen Up 2008-06-18 16:05:00 Just yesterday my sister and I decided to stop in at our local Superstore in order to have a peak at the Joe Fresh Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The collection is headed by designer Joseph Mimran who has had previous experience with other clean cut brands such as Club Monaco and Alfred Sung. Joe Fresh, much like H&M and Forever 21 offers relatively higher fashion pieces at extremely low price
The Intellectual 2008-06-24 17:22:00 We may still be in the summer months but the fashion world is light years ahead, both with seasons and styling, and especially Prada for that matter. Just this past week Prada unveiled its new Fall/Winter 2008/2009 collection. Miuccia Prada, hier to the Prada throne from a long line of a Prada's and creative head at the house of Prada always takes us on fantastic journey. It's almost like being o Read more:Intellectual
Seeing Double at Chanel 2008-07-18 11:15:00 I would really like to commend my friends at theFashionSpot forum for their keen eye. As usual, as I am also predicting, they will be bang on trend.Girls will be guaranteed to eat this up come fall and without a doubt next spring. I'm just excited to see all of the knock offs that will be rushed into stores. Heaven forbid, even Ms. Lindsey Lohan may make a pair!Don't get me wrong, this isn't the o Read more:Seeing

The Details on Burberry's Christopher Bailey 2008-07-18 01:35:00 Christopher Bailey
is definitely not as bitchy as he appears in the above photograph. He's actually a very down to earth and warm individual. You may also know that he is the current creative director of all things Burberry

Fall FASHION 2008-07-29 00:39:00 A new issue of FASHION Magazine hit the stands a few days ago and in it you'll find some lovely goodies.This year's August issue features an interview with Richmond, BC born, Coco Rocha. It includes a lovely spread of some of her "growing up" pictures, a fashion spread, as well as an in-depth interview with the famous model. Coco definitely isn't afraid to tell anyone the truth when it comes to th
NYC Purchase Update 2008-08-17 21:07:00 Just like I promised, I have an update regarding what I decided to spend my money on in NYC. Since I'm not sure when I'll be back to the wonderful city I thought I would buy relatively lux items that would last years. The following are what I decided to bring home with me :)1. Kenneth Cole New York - "The Bag's On You"I absolutely adore this bag. As this is my first ever man-bag I am especially fo Read more:Purchase
