I've been in....NYC...no seriously I have...yipppeee!!!I

Hello little darlings...I know I promised a post like a week ago, but I didnt have time to and I didnt even have time to mention this perfect little delightful fact, that I went to NYC...I know right, how could it have slipped my mind? Geez I was so excited...I mean, the big apple...the city that never sleeps...ok yes I've been there like 40 times....but I LOVE it soooo much every single time I visit...everything about it is so chic...so sophisiticated....from the gorgeous people walking around to the changing fall leaves falling on my o-so-adorable slouchy boots while I leisurly stroll through Central Park looking EXTREMLY chic i might add ;)....even the GIANT not even kidding this burger was so enormous I cannot even describe how huge it was....I mean this thing was like 4 inches high...anyways even the burger was perfect...

its such a change for a little california girl like moi....but it was soooo hot there...geez...i was all geared up to wear all my adorable little sweaters and scarves and my adorable houdstooth bomber jacket i bought for just the occasion...but of course thanks to my luck it was about a million degrees i could barely even sleep...

even so i had a blast...i was there for my grandma's 85th woot woot!! thats old man...but she's so peppy like running around NYC...so I'm back...my BFF Nikon Cybershot had a fun time too :)))) enjoy...

The nightime view from my dad's girlfriends apartment...where we stayed...tres drag....but the pic is awesome i believe

This is looking up after i found this sort of edgy emo courtyard thing @ the bottom of the apartment building...it had fire escapes...i have a LOVE affair with fired escapes...love themm...

I walked by this flourist on Madison Ave. and these sunflowers were just so beautiful...dont they just make you happy looking @ them?

The MET...omg i am so cool and edgy b/c i went by myself without my dad...i used my student ID to get a discount and the whole time i was walking around being like "i am so cool and edgy" in my head....

Omg i had lunch w/ my grandparents and when we walk out of the restaurant theres this HUGE billboard on Lexington for the Levi Store and this guy is the hottest thing EVER...i couldnt stop looking...

The view from the top of the Rockafeller building...i have such an insane fear of heights so be thankful i took this picture just for you....;P

This sculpture on Park Ave. was so cool....Love...all you need is love...

My dad made me go and look @ boarding school so this is in connecticut...OMG YOU GUYS THE LEAVES ACTUALLY CHANGING

Im going to Vegas with my friend for her bday today...yippeee.....enjoy lovelys....

I may be completely in consistent, but I know what I like....hell yes I do ;)

Wow...does it ever feel like time is flying by...or depending on how you look @ it...not? Ok I realize yes, that sentence made almost no sense, but let me explain my little lovelys. School has going by at the speed a crippled snail might go through school. Like a turtle with a cane going to Freshman year...like me...being extremely over school...but then again, I checked the date on my last post and it was like 2 weeks ago?!! How did that happen...im neglecting my poor little blog that I love so dearly...

But it feels like i have no time for anything else except school, homework, sports, and um...lets see once thats done, theres more school....i get home @ like 6:30 every night b/c thats when my sports practice ends, is that insane or am i?

Plus i havent even had time for inspiration for posting.....but i have been checking up on NY Fashion week, so I decided to pick some of my faves...the highlights...courtesy of me of course...:)

NYC's Fashion Week Favorite Picks:
Proenza Schouler

This is so adorable...can i please have it transported into my fall wardrobe...

The giant navy sweater is to die for, and the bubbly skirt/dress is something that i want...o wait..i want all of it...drat...

L.A.M.B.

Let me just say...why can Gwen Stefani do EVERYTHING so fucking perfectly!!!???! jealousy....


Like a picnic...


I would totally wear this entire outfit...I LOVE it..



The dress is adorable...the vertical stripes..<3




This little leopard print rain coat is the cutest most retro thing ever...hello obsession...


This is like an opptical illusion...in the 60's with adorable white wayfarers...




This dress is gorgeous....im a sucker for black over nude...i just love it...and the bubble hem...mmmm...


ThreeasFour


I think they're a relatively new designer, and I read about them in Elle Collections...but I loved so many of their peices...


Nude assymetrical dress...that looks extremely comfortable...i want it...



This is so pretty....I love the ruffle in the center...




Such and awesome dress...the colors remind me of rasperberry and green tea...and i am a complete random freak...its cool though...


Marchesa


Ok....every single one of their dresses is so amazingly GORGEOUS....i dont know how i chose 3...


This reminds me of Uli's couture dress in Project runway...i love it..


This gold brocade(i think) mini is so cute and elegant at the same time...hmmm...


This is honestly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen...dont you agree...i mean it looks like a giant rose...its so gorgeous...


Marc by Marc Jacobs





This little structured navy dress is so simple and chic...I loved it...and the little ruffle on one half of the bodice makes it strangely unique...




This outfit is sooo adorable...the orange skirt w/ the bow blouse it something that I so wish I could pull off...damn it...



Ok, I honestly am in love w/ this outfit....it is so eclectic and adorable...the little brownish greenish shorts w/ the totally randomly colored blue bow vest and red striped t-shirt is the best thing ever!!! we're all drawn to different things...i am drawn to little geeky outfits apparently...



hahah...you wonder why this is on here? ok no guy would ever wear that....i just put it on there b/c it cracked me up, although i like the shorts for myself...is that wrong?


Zac Posen


1. I love him...


2. Thats it...i just love him...


The color of this dress is amazing...like the bottom of the ocean...


Ok is this the coolest thing you've ever seen or what? its supposd to look like stormy clouds...I <3>

Ok, so on to London fashion week I think...ill try and post again soon...but things are so busy...

DOWNLOAD: "Only Lovers Left Alive" The Long Blondes...i read about them in Nylon @ camp, and I honestly love this song...the chorus is addictive and I love the name of their band...the long blondes...i wonder how they are such genius' to thing of that...if i had a band i would name it something lame like...the cool people...or....cats and dogs...i am a retard...

enjoy school...not....

Yes! I am still alive...and just as talkative as ever...did i spell that wrong?

Hey guys, sorry I drifted off the radar for a while...i got back from camp and everything just got so busy all of a sudden, and I havent had ANY time to post, which actually makes me quite pissed and sad b/c I love my little blog and all my readers <3....There will hopefully be a new post up tomorow....till then :)
Oh wait...since i have been neglecting my blog, here's a little mini tidbit for you little fashionistas to chew on...
One of my favorite fall shows....Stella McCartney...I want this for fall...the whole thing...and thats why they call it a daydream...*breaks down to tears*...

I actually really like how the extra long slouchy cardigan is under a extremely power women chic coat...its such a good juxtaposition...and i sound like a huge nerd...i like the contrast

Ok this sweater is honestly my life...i want to marry it and make little polar bear babies with it...im not even kidding...yes i am ;P

This is one of my favorite looks...i saw it in InStlye and I'm obsessed...the grey sweater is PERFECT w/ just the white shirt, and it could be boring but BAM...amazing amazing red shoes!!! I love it...


This outfit is casual, but then again BAM amazing hot pink shoes...I swear Stella McCartney is a genius....

but one other thing...Daria Werbowy looks completley WAY TOO SKINNY in this picture...i mean check out her collar bones...i dont really know where i stand in the too skinny model thing.... i mean I understand if they're natrually skinny like that, b/c some girls are, but still we shouldnt all be expected to be a size 00 either...but she just looks unhealthy...thats definitely not sexy...



This dress just makes me happy...its like limey colored but then faded times 10 squared...the black shoes are a perfect chic touch...and yes Jessica Stam...girl crush...she's so pretty with her spooky icey blue eyes and I just love her as a model...and even though she's skinny too, she just looks healthier...or at least i think...

Ok that was a complete midgit post...but i promise there will be a longer one soon...

DOWNLOAD: "Forever Young"-Youth Group...this song is addictive...its so romantic and i love the lyrics and they're suprisingly easy to remember...plus it was Ryan and Marrissa's song... I <3>

I'm BAAAACK....and the best part is, you didn't even know I was gone....quite sneaky I believe..;P

Wow....mostly I feel like a complete idiot....haha this actually is sort of sad....so I go to camp for 2 weeks, and I completely forgot to warn you guys. Acutally you must give me some credit, I didn't really "forget" forget....I actually almost didn't go, and then by the time I did, I had like literally 2 seconds to pack, and then when we were driving I remebered I hadn't warned you guys....my blog will be blogger empty for 2 whole weeks...I even tried unsuccesfully to get internet connection from my laptop in Nowhereville.....

Anyways...I'm BACK!!! Yay....mostly camped rocked my socks...i can't believe i honestly just said that in a sentence....whatever, I can say whatever I want to...so camp was extremely fun, and funny too....I loved my cabin, and suprisingly, I didn't really have very much technology withdrawal, although I did feel VERY guilty leaving my little bloggers all alone....;)
Did you know that Longs has a motto? I betcha didnt...dont lie...its motto is:
"Live Healthy. Live Happy. Live Longs"
Hahahahahahahahahahah, do you get it?! Live Longs...ahahah i am so amused...I developed my camp pictures there and I was very intrigued reading the motto on the photo thing....

Anywyas...I was trying to put up some pics from camp but my computer is being retarted...so hopefully it will work tomorow...oh wait, hold on...i can get some off the camp site...YAY...





We went canyoneering, which was repelling backwards down that waterfall behind us...basically it was amazing...i totally felt like and INTENSE rock climber ;)))






Colors dance....im in red....i'd say its the most attractive picture of me EVER....haha...dont you love the lurkish guy behind us....hahahah






For cabin theme day were were the rainbow...it was my idea...and what color do I get to be...GREY...whooppeee...shows what being a genius gets you...NOTHING!!!

My cabin...I <3 them..

Sooooo....who can believe that schools starting again....When I say "school" I say it in a scary Voldemort voice....I have literally 2 weeks, which I know is actually a long while, but it is going to be filled with Tennis practices and school shopping (i.e. the binder kind)....and I'm literally squeal when I say this.... BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING!!!!

Well aren't they the coolest kids ever...going to school...btw i like his face...bahaha

Today I got to do some with my lovely mother...she hates it when I call her that ;)....we hit Anthropologie

1st, and I have to say that I have found a pair of pants that I am literally in LOVE with....now don't kill me when I say this...but I have a newfound Gaucho jeans obsession....I can't help it...:)) and yes...if you feel you want to mock me, thats ok...I can take it...

I guess I've been wearing skinnies for so long, that having the wide leg is just so...EXCITING....i believe im getting way too worked up over this, but you try going to camp for 2 weeks w/ limited clothing, and NO full length mirror, huh? huh? try and get back to me ;)....\

And the Anthro site isn't letting me save the pic, but I was inspired to buy them b/c of this pic I saw of Cameron Diaz wearing a pair...


And we sort of have the same body type(hahha I like to dream i guess, since i do not really look like a moviestar ;) , and I thought they were so casually cute, that I had to race out and find a pair....seriously they are the comfiest thing ever....

Anyways....back to the back to school shopping....I hope i have a chance to do somemore, b/c I am seriously in a need for wintery clothes....although i do not deny that it doesnt really get wintery in CA, the temp drops to less then 65....crisis...

Although it is CA, a girl is in need of a few cooler weather peices....so I was in Malibu w/ my mom and I stopped @ Planet Blue, and I tried on honestly the most ADORABLE sweater dresses I have ever seen in my 14 years....they were so cute, but of course they were all like 300$, obviously my mom didnt let me buy them, so I was slightly depressed all day...

This was the 1st one:


I know it doesnt even look that cute, but it is....it is all crocheted and possibly the comfiest thing ever....by Catherine Malandrino who I believe is a genius...

This dress by Joie is a ten billion times cuter on, but I LOVE it....I tried it on in all grey and my mind was just spinning like a little hamster on one of those wheels about all the ways I could wear it....


I didnt actually try this dress on or have seen it in real life, but the little buttons are so cute...are you noticing how im leaning towards grey...its big this fall, but I've always LOVED it....


This dress is really cute, but mostly i just chose it b/c I want to ask, what in gods name is the model doing? Does she think shes being alluring or sexy b/c mostly it just looks like shes having ADD as she stares @ the photographer with NO feeling in her eyes whatsoerver... shes prob thinking "Wow...I really want that peice of candy....I've been thinking about it all day."Geeeeezzz...what are they teaching in modeling school these days?

DOWNLOAD:"Summer Skin" Death Cab for Cutie...this songs not new or anything, but I love it...its about summer and its sorta sad but such a pretty song...the lyrics are AMAZING...

Gosh this post took 3 frickin days for me to do, and its not even that long....well I'm back...I should be posting a lot before school starts....

The TV Queens....of course they have the unfair advantage of closets and closets of amazing clothes, but still.....im jealous


Yes, I am sure you are pondering...."Why is there a picture of a stoplight?" I would be too....in fact i would be downright confused....maybe its because....drum rollll.... I got a NEW digital camera!! Yay...I'm so happy :)))) as you can tell by the plethora of smilys to your left....so as I was driving around downtown I was taking all sorts of edgy and artsy photos, hense the completely and totally edgy stop light.... WHOA...do you think you can handle the edginess....I'm pretty sure I can't....I may pass out....

Anyways, I was having a little bit of bloggers block....and then I was like..."hmmm...inspiration strikes anywhere..." and I was thinking about how i've been obsessively watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I have to say that Buffy is amazingly stylish....for the 90's of course...but I found myself being very jealous of her, plus she completely kicks ASS...which makes me happy too :)... I <3 align="center">
Mostly I just love this picture b/c she's wearing this really gorgeous dark orange A-line dress that you can't see from the photo, and she's carrying this frickin huge ass rifle....I LOVE it....lol

The Scooby Gang....I'm actually in love w/ Buffy's boots and Willow's tights....I really want a red pair of tights for fall actually.....the bright color is CHEERFUL!

Glamour Buffy....she looks pretty in all the silver...


You can't see but this jacket is amazing...it has the huge awesome diamondy buttons...that i want

So then after this little Buffy-fashion-palooza...which btw it was really hard to get pictures of her clothes, I was then inspired by Tv fashionistas around the globe....and of course who came to mind? Who else but the late drama-plagued teen fashion plate...Marisa Cooper of the OC....her clothes were amazing...Summer's too....sometimes I just watched for that alone....


I love Marisa's citrusy cardigan...it preps up her outfit....

Pretty burnt orange blazer...

Her shirts so adorable....

This is the kind of shirt I would wear when i don't feel very energetic because the fernetic print would probably make me like the frickin engergizer bunny...


The way Summer's wearing the black T underneath the sheary jacket is genius...and I love Marisa's skirt...and Summer's now I look harder...


One of Coop's greatest fashion moments...the Season 2 Prom....the white dress w/ the Chanel pearls....she looked so classic and pretty....

Happy Missoni looking blazer....:)))

Yay! Now I'm inspired again :))))).....see what can TV can do for you? And they say it melts you brain....I showed them! Totally! ;P.....Btw if anyone watched Buffy...I watched the season 2 finale last night when Buffy kills Angel...it was honestly the saddest thing ever....it made me cry...or maybe im just totally over dramatic...whatever :))))) I put a lot of emotion into tv shows.....

DOWNLOAD: "Full of Grace" Sarah McLachlan....ok I know its from 1997...and yes I did hear it on Buffy...and I know that it probably is completely sappy and depressing but its a really nice song...just listen to it...it will make you want to fall in love....damn it now I'm upset.....I will find love ;P....its a really nice song though....
