I'm in such a good mood today. It's the 1st day of March, which means spring should be here soon. I've lost 2 pounds this week and I just cleaned my entire room. It looks so nice now, I couldn't believe the amount of dust and old papers that were in there, it was gross. It's funny how cleaning makes you feel good and accomplished. As I was going through things, i realized I have every Teen Vogue from October/November 2003 and on. It's so fun to look back in them and see what was in then versus now. I'm going shopping tomorrow because I need to be something to wear to my cousin's fiance's Bridal Shower next week. I haven't been to one since I was little, so I'm debating if I should get a dress or pants. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by Target tomorrow (I literally haven't been in one in about 2 years), as the Jovovich-Hawk Go International line comes out tomorrow. I haven't really loved any of the past Go lines, but this one is soo cute. They have such nice stuff for spring and here are some of my favorite looks from the line.



I'm trying to change my style up a little bit and some of these pieces can help me do it for an affordable price. I'm especially liking the vests and the printed dress. Everything goes on sale at Target in store and online tomorrow.

Vacation all I ever wanted.

I leave for Florida tommorrow and I'm so excited. It's supposedly going to snow here this week, so I'm so happy I get to miss it and be in the sun. I probably won't post while I'm there, but I might do a quick update or two. Anyway I don't think I'm going to recreate the looks of style icon of the month, just have him/her on the side. Oh and I saw Definently, Maybe this weekend and it was such a cute movie, everyone should see it. So yea this isn't that much of a real post but oh well.

P.S. What does one wear to the Museum of Natural History?, I'm going there with school Tuesday.

Amidst packing for Florida (I leave Wednesday!) I realized I'm seriously lacking in my spring wardrobe, or maybe I'm just sick of the stuff I have. It's to early to go spring shopping, especially if I'm going to lose weight, but I figured I'd put together some wishlists for a few of my favorite stores and dream ahead.

Drop everything, Start it all over.

I really have no good reason for why I haven't updated, just lack of motivation I guess. I've decided I'm just going to forget everything I was going to post about and start fresh this week. Updating this blog was a promise I made to myself, and I want to follow through. It's not like I have that much of an exciting life to write about and I don't have an amazing wardrobe, but I'll do my best to keep people interested and to keep them reading. So enough of me making up excuses and onward with the post.


It's been on and off raining here almost everyday and it made me realize I really want some rain boots. You hardly see anyone around here wearing them and it makes me wonder because they seem so practical. Maybe people think it's weird to walk around in a pair of rubber boots, but personally I'm craving them. With different styles and colors to choose from, where does a girl begin?

Well where I'm going to begin is with the basics. Hunter rainboots, or "wellies" as some like to call them are classic. With a good height and an array of colors, they seem to be perfect. I'm personally fond of the Navy colored pair. Find them for $98 at Shopbop.

Completly stylish, commonly faked, and pretty expensive are just a few words used to describe Burberry's rainboots. If I had the money, I'd snatch them up in a second because they go with anything, and from reviews, are amazing quality. Pick up a pair for yourself for $170 at the Burberry website.

For something with a little edge, why not go for some Chooka boots. With different prints ranging from tattoo inspired to plaid, all eyes will be on your feet. Get some at Nordstrom for $60.

Now I know some of you are thinking those are ridiculous prices to pay for a pair of rubber boots. A solution to that is these boots from Target. They only cost $20 and come in both prints and solid colors. I like the multi colored star ones.

Now I just have to decide if I want to buy rain boots now, is rain season almost over?, or wait until the fall. Ahh decisions, decisions.

Ok so I'm really bad at keeping this thing updated, I promise I'll have a real post soon. I've been so busy lately, but I really want to finish posting my views on fashion week and a small recap of my spice girls concert. In the meantime here's my latest purchase and some music I've been listeing to lately.

L.A.M.B. Cheetah Mandeville, reatails for $425 and I got it at Off Saks for $212, I was soo freaking excited, I never thought I'd get a l.a.m.b lux bag and I did, my 30% off coupon helped out on that too.

I found both of these groups from the fashion shows, and pretty much love them:

Fashion Week Day 5

Last night I watched the documentary Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. It was a pretty interesting look into Marc's world, and the only thing I couldn't stand was him smoking around all those luxury goods, it was so gross. Day 5 of fashion week went off smoothly and of course even more great collections were shown.


Badgley Mischka combined classic pieces with stunning evening wear. With great metallics, awesome prints, and various accessories, this show was hit. There was tons of rich fall colors visible and I personally loved the gorgeous floor length gowns.

Diesel's show was very 80's rock and roll starting it off with Duran Duran's "Girls on Films". The show started out with mostly black and worked its way into other colors. There was tons of baggy clothes, as well as some slim fitted pieces and the show definently stuck with the diesel look.

The clothes in the Marc by Marc Jacobs show were a little more grown up, while the bags and accessories still remained young and fresh. There was tons of girly dresses and fun prints and men's detailed jackets. I was slighlty dissapointed, as some of the stuff you can easily find similar things in stores such as H&M right now, but we'll just have to wait till friday for the really good stuff.
