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.”

Mod Me Please?!?

I love 1960s fashion... bold colors, winged eyeliner, Go-Go boots, huge hair and short pixies, trench coats, capes, clean shapes, Jackie Kennedy?!? I mean.. come on people. I am also a huge supporter of the resurrection of said styles fully!! However, Mod is a difficult trend to pull off, because you can't go full retro without looking like a blast from the past! So, my suggestion is take peices from this one-of-a-kind style movement and make it your own! Here are a few 60s duds from modcloth.com, also some tips on how to keep them modern! Can you dig it? ... Get ready to look vintage as I try to insert something clever....


Undeniable Charisma Dress - $159 - Quintessential 1960s.. the buttons, the bow, the color.. I love. I would pair it with a chained shoulder purse and some simple flats, you definitely want this dress to be the star of your look!



Major and Minor Key Dress - $159 - Sexy and sleek.. opaque tights and short, black leather gloves should do the trick!


Pristine Premonition Dress - $77.99 - The collar, the ruffled sleeve, and the flow make this dress terribly 60s... try black ballet flats and simple bangles.


Can't Get Rid Of the Stripes Dress- $80.99 - The back really makes the dress, but simple stripes are totally Mod. Try it with big bug glasses, a light colorful airy scarf, and a pair of colorful platforms!



High Caliber Dress - $399 - This dress is so Bond girl, right? Pair it with huge black bangles and super high heels and you got yourself a look!

Emma Watson : My Favorite Fashionista this Week!!

So, last Friday Emma Watson made the ever-so-coveted "Look of the Day" post by wearing a Rafael Lopez dress she was killing at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 premiere in London. I figured that was her "red carpet moment" (as Zoe would say) and she would play it down from there.. but oh, was I wrong! This week, during her New York City Press junket, she has been looking absolutely fabulous EVERYWHERE she goes! From her minimalistic Calvin Kline dress at the New York City premiere (which was made exclusively for her!) to her talk show stunners, she looked amazinggg and so grown up!! Look at some of her best as I try to insert something clever...

Arriving in New York, she wore THE FIRST EVER Burberry Bespoke trench coat! Designer Christopher Bailey made the leather-sleeved trench just for her! Jealoussss...


Here she is in a "Rorsache test" ink spot dress.. I love it, flatters her figure in all the right ways!


Here she is arriving at Regis and Kelly in a studded Burberry trench... I LOVE this trench.. like, I would steal it of her body if given the opportunity! Plus, the polka dot tights and studded bag are prefect accessories!


And finally... Emma looking chic in Klein.. I ADORE the open crossed back, the gold coiling bracelet, and the glamorous hair comb.. this ensemble in my book is an A+ slam dunk!!
