City Slicker in Lanvin



























i have developed an affection for Lanvin's ruffled, tucked, draped and cinched at the waist by a belt, coats. but sadly i'm too late to buy any of the coats online. my only hope is for one to land on eBay or a consignment shop or something.
some how the edgy beauty that strutted down the runway of the Lanvin 09 collection alluded my attention until now, a whole season later.
Okay, Okay, i saw MK Olsen wearing the red number and now i want one too. there. well, not completely true.

i wouldn't mind getting my hands on any of these styles of coats. either one would look great with a pair of black skinny jeans, that i would roll up at the ankles and a pair of black flats, plus a random vintage tee underneath. oh, and maybe even a chuncky costume necklace around the neck, similar to the one worn in the third pic, into bring out the elegance of the coat. that's just how i would wear it in the city.

cut your hair if you dare

this is such a beautiful image that i just had to post it. i'm not sure who the girl is but i just adore her hair cut. if i was brave enough i would totally grab the scissors and start chopping away at my mane at the expense of absolute disownment from my mother and maybe my father.

why is it when i'm trying to grow out my hair a cute short hairstyle makes me rethink the whole long hair look. short hair is just too desirable to me. i'm never moved by long hair styles as i am to short hair.

saying goodbye & making plans


the ghostly women from McQueen's Fall/Winter 2007 is maybe my favorite look from the designer



the death of of my all time fashion designer Alexander McQueen.
i could believe the news of the death of mister McQueen. he was someone i aspired to be like one day. i could wait to see what fantasy world this man would conjure up from his imaginary. now we'll never know.
the news of McQueen i guess has got me thinking. im just now realizing that if i want to get anywhere in life i need to get out of bed and start hauling tail. I'm finishing up my sophomore year in college and I'm starting to feel the itch for some real life experience. i was thinking of saving up all my dough from now till summer break and move to NYC just for summer or even transfer to a college like the New School and stay indefinitely . but before i can live it up in the city i have to land a summer internship(fingers crossed). I'm hoping to land something related to fashion (of course). maybe interning for a photographer, stylist, fashion designer or fashion magazine, whatever i can get. I'm not totally naive, i am aware that these industry is a prime target for young people looking for internships but it couldn't hurt to try.
so, along with saving my money i will applying to colleges, looking for internships or even better a paid internship or just a plain job in the big apple.
NO MORE PROCRASTINATING FOR ME
PS: Thanks for the inspiration McQueen
