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.”

Look of the Day!


Woman shwiman! Let's talk about a hottie whose style makes you smile! With his perfectly tailored suits, perfectly coiffed hair, and perfectly structured face, this one's a looker. He's an actor, a playwright, an author, a painter and a graduate student (of ivy league), and he was James Dean? Need I say more ladies? However, between all this (and being my imaginary boyfriend) Mr. James Franco still finds the time to look down right sexy. In a 27 Hour Spotlight on James Franco interview/appearance yesterday, he rocks a navy v-neck, a plaid button up, a hooded cardi, AND a leather jacket.. pulling off the almost impossible with no trouble. ("layering outerwear is unheard of??.. pfft.. I'm James Franco you fools!") Here he is defying fashion gravity, being well, Franco. Gotta love him! Now wipe up that drool off your keyboard as I try to insert something clever!....

London Calling...

Due to the fact that my older sister recently relocated over the ocean, my mind has been skipping all around England, and really, all around the iconic fashion that has sprung from such a wee-lil' island. I mean Burberry, Stella McCartney, Matthew Williamson, and my current obsession, the always affordable (and soon to be stateside) Asos, are just a few outrageously chic brands across the pond! However, when I think England.. I think London.. and when I think London.. I think London cira 1975... which is why, for my look of the day, I have turned to her majesty of London punk, the national treasure, Ms. Vivienne Westwood! Sexy, dangerous, and over-the-top, Westwood never fails to put on an exciting show! Psychedelic swirls, grandmas stockings, and lots of splatter paint made it's way down the catwalk during her RTW Fall 2010 collection... but one can never forget the roots of this hard rocking lady, and the little pistols who Let it Rock and gave her SEX (look it up non-punk listeners!!!) So.. feeling nostalgic, I went to classic Westwood.. cause who can resist a little spray paint lettering (now graphic) and a torn up T (in this case a sweater) .. cause let's face it, we're all a little Vicious :) Never Mind the Bollocks and follow this link (look 13.. but all of it is genius!) as I try to insert something clever...

Look of the Day!

Oh Karl, you've outdone yourself (again), with the dark yet ethereal Chanel RTW Spring 2011 collection shown in Paris this past week. The line to me was very much Chanel gone Edward Scissorhands. Lots of unfinished and thready ends, re-vamped tweed patchwork, and shockingly, the classic 2.55 quilted bag minus the iconic metal chain strap (what is this madness you say?!?) It was replaced with an extra piece of quilted leather, still just a fabulous. The whole show was enchanting! But the moment that stole it all was when male model Brad Kroenig (ex-Lagerfeld muse) brought out a special guest to strut the runway with him.. his two-year-old son!!.. in, get this... matching Chanel outfits! Très magnifique!! Chanel, you have turned dressing like your dad into a cool thing. This is mind-boggling concept that I must attempt to contemplate as I try to insert something clever....

Look of the Day!


This really isn't just a "look of the day" for me... I can wholeheartedly say that I am utterly in head-over-heals love with these pants! Featured in Lucky mag, I saw these and my heart DROPPED... that's serious. These Heidi Merrick knit jersey pants are the perfect glam staple to an outfit.. while still being comfy!! I want want want (now someone loan me $319 as I try to insert something clever...)

Hallelujah! : Finding My Fashion Holy Grail aka The Perfect Infinity Scarf!

After weeks and weeks of searching for an infinity scarf (with absolutely no luck) I have finally found a beauty! I had tried all the local venues, (Target, Kholes, Walmart) but none of those stores has exactly what I wanted. Then, like a ton of bricks, it hit me!! Holy cow, what about American Apparel?!? They always have oversized, exaggerated clothing! And upon looking it up on their website, lone behold.... there was my perfect scarf. The unisex circle scarf is only $28 and comes in tons and tons of colors (my favorite is the navy) PLUS the website posted a neat-o guide demonstrating all the different ways you can wear it (shown below)! Check it out as I try to insert something clever...
