The scattered, eccentric, ridiculous thoughts of your everyday fashionista.

"Fashions fade, style is eternal."


“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”



“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”

It's the Most Wonderful Time.. To Play Dress Up!!

The holiday season is among us, just take a look! The five and ten is glistening and the silver lanes are aglow! Well.. maybe not just yet.. but it will come sooner than you think! And trust me, that last minute questioning of, "what to wear, what to wear?!?" is so last year... time to prepare in advance (I know you have seen all those layaway commercials!) Get into the spirit of this most joyous time of year EARLY and start shopping for your holiday party and festivity dresses! When picking out the perfect holiday formal ensemble one must consider all winter factors... the chill, the occasion, ect! So, here are some very Ja-DORABLE! get-ups that are versatile and fabulous! All of the looks are pulled from Forever21.com (for the price and the fact that the Easton renovation just opened!!) And if you try one.. who knows.. you may just find yourself making a pit-stop under the mistletoe! Prep for the season as I try to insert something clever...

Red is a CLEAR holiday color front-runner (although the picture really makes it look fuchsia!) but what really wins me over with this dress is the price! - Fab Satin Dress - $11.50

This look from Forever 21's plus size section is gorg! It hugs the body in all the right ways, is appropriate length, and has just a splash of Lady Gaga embellishment on the side!
