Toucha Toucha


Today, after breakfast, I hit up the local thrift store. Because you never know what you might find on a full stomach. Luckily enough I did encounter a little green velvet 80s dress. And while I did enjoy looking a Christmas tree, I loved the feel of the velvet even more. I know it's 'trendy' right now, and that Ashley Olson wears it like crazy bag lady, but there's something luxurious and rich about velvet. I probably should look up it's history and where it came from, but I'll leave that up to you. Just know that velvet is a beautiful addition to any outfit. It's sexy in a really understated way. And seriously, what better way to say: touch me?

Chics, man






Girls. I know we talk about this all the time, but I don't understand why we're so mean to each other. Unlike boys, we decide to lie and hide our true feelings, only to gossip behind each others' backs. We could just say how we really feel or speak clearly or even through a punch. But we need to 'talk' things out. Because females aren't physical, they're supposed to be feminine. Let me just say that I don't see any guys crying and blubbering on. I would rather have a black eye and have all the drama over with.

So these photos. These women are chic, they're clothes are easy and seemingly effortless. I can't imagine being friends with them. Going to Fashion's Night Out (pictures to come), shopping in New York, and hanging out in hipster night clubs until 5 in the morning. Oh, I guess I can imagine. But there is definitely a reason why my best friend is a boy. We can talk about almost everything (besides boyfriends, but hey, that's fair) and we're completely honest with each other. Recently we've been spending all our time together and began fighting. Snarky comments are not really equivalent with guys, but that's my fault. I think I introduced him to some nasty sarcasm. But in the end he pointed out how rude I was being (and I might have said something back to that) and we were able to laugh it off. I don't think that any girl could do that.

So thank you bestie (yes, I know you probably don't want to be called that). I can't be anymore sappy or cliche than that or you might punch me. And I'm too girly to take that.

Hopeless Romantic






My luck with love? Not necessarily written in the stars, but I hope one day I'll find the fairy tale. Boys where I live have really given up on chivalry and the grand gesture, and the girls let them! If you have a man, make sure he treats you right. If you don't, never settle for anyone less than a prince.
And I'll just sit here staring out my window, pretending it's a turret, dreaming of when I lose my glass (hopefully Chanel) slipper at the ball...

The T-Shirt

I've been getting some fashion how-to questions: like how do you wear one of those old camp tees or graphic tees without being cliche? Here are some examples from Lookbook and Altamira. More explanation to come
