Celebrity Influence

Every day people around the world watch television and read magazines that feature their favorite celebrities. They think "I wish I could look like that" or "I want her clothes so bad". I admit to being apart of this and there are easy solutions to achieving these looks. You can go to your favorite store and show an SA a picture of an outfit you want to recreate. You can go on whowhatwear.com and find the exact items the stars are wearing. Or you can even take pieces from your own closet and rework them to remind you of your favorite star's look with your own personal twist. We are all celebrities in our own mind and here I decided to make some looks on polyvore that will have you looking fab on a budget.

Return of the...

Hey! I'm back. I been going through some stress lately and had to take a quick break, but now I'm good and ready to return to the blog. I can't believe how quickly college is coming and that I will soon be living on my own. I can't even do my own laundry, so I better start learning stat. There's so much stuff I need for college it's ridiculous. I'm having a hard time finding a sturdy trunk though, because the one's from target seem like they can easily break. Anyone have suggestions? With back to school also comes new clothes, although I don't really need to many. I did just buy an amazing necklace at Metropark though, which I can't wait to wear. I'm going to start making this blog more interesting, so be on the lookout for some cool new posts and for now I'll leave you with this video.
I absolutely love this song, even though I don't like Converse very much. Props on the lineup they got to make this song though.

Hiatus

I'm going on a hiatus for a little while, I don't know how long. I just don't feel like posting lately and have some life issues to deal with. Hopefully I will return soon.

Project Runway

So Orientation was pretty interesting. There was definitely a diverse group of people there, which is sort of new for me but a good thing. I met a few cool people, but not a roommate. The whole experience made me really excited to start college. For the past few days I've been learning how to drive. I was always scared shitless to drive, but I really had to start learning and now it's not so bad. I've been doing some dorm shopping also and I never thought it would be this hard to shop for a dorm. There's so much stuff I need and since I'll probably have the same stuff for the next 4 years, I'm being super picky. I'm sure I'll be able to get everything I need though.

Tonight, one of my favorite shows, Project Runway returns. It's the last season in NY, which I'm sad about, but so far the challenges and judges sound great. So not to spoil anything, you can check it out info on the episodes on the Bravo websites. This year's group looks edgier than previous seasons and a lot of the cast has really good backgrounds in fashion. Seasons 2 & 3 will always be my favorites. but I can't wait to see what Season 5 has to offer. Right now I'm rooting for Emily, who already has a really cute clothing line called Smoke and Mirrors, and Wesley, who seems to have a more classic style and interned at Marc Jacobs (an added bonus in my book).

Who are you rooting for?

Summer Obsession

If I could recommend one product to anyone, it would be Havaianas flip flops. They come from Brazil and are made of rubber. Their prices go from $16 and up and they come in a myriad of colors, styles, and designs. They are extremely durable and most importantly comfy. I started wearing them about 4 years ago and they have never let me down, nor have they broken. That is my collection above, and a few of those pairs are 3 years old and still in perfect condition. I seriously would not be able to get through the spring/summer without my Havaianas since I wear them almost everyday. You can buy them at stores such as Macy's or Nordstrom and online at their official website or Shopbop.

I'm off to college orientation at Pace until Friday afternoon, I'm so excited and will definitely report a little about it when I get back.
