1. What is your favorite item of clothing?
I really love jeans. Every type, too. White, dark, acid wash (yeah, I know. Tres 80's), skinny, bootcut, flared, boyfriend. They're all wonderful to me, really!
Balmain, btw. ^
2. What are your biggest obsessions?
I'm just gon' go right ahead and name ALL of them. Anderson Cooper, Cake Batter ice cream, Forever 21, Woodwinked eyeshadow from MAC, Viva Glam V lipglass, Big Brother, Trey Songz, Live with Regis & Kelly, The View, Nurse Jackie, True Blood, raspberry jam, airports, Manhattan, 100% fruit juice, Bradley Cooper, Big Brother, Weeds. Yeah.
3. Who inspires you?
I don't have very many inspirations, to tell you the truth. I sort of want to be myself, because I'm SO individualistic. I can honestly say every decision I make is for myself, and in my best interest. That's good in a way, but can also come back and bite me in the butt. It's vain, and selfish, too.
4. Who is your favorite designer and why?
I enjoy so many designers, that it would be ridiculous to now try and ramble on. I love Elie Tahari and Rebecca Taylor and Phillip Lim and Jay Godfrey and Elizabeth & James and Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen and Black Halo and Marchesa and Vera Wang and Herve Leger and Balmain and Derek Lam and Nanette Lepore and Lilly Pulitzer and ah. <3 The list don't end, sweetie. ;)
Elie Tahari ^
5. What is your favorite song ever?
Yes, as everyone says, I don't have a favorite. Truly, it changes every day. In fact, every hour. Insert winky face. I've been using him too much lately.
6. What is your favorite song right now?
Hands down, Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. Love that song! :) I don't care who you are, you MUST admit that the tune is catchy as hell.
7. If you were a sweetie, what would you be?
I would be a Sour Patch Kid. Y'know what? Not EVEN a Sour Patch Kid. I would be a RED Sour Patch Kid. Rojo, rouge. Yahurrd?!
Hahahahaha, I love this.
8. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet - what words would you use to describe your rainbow?
Sour Patch Kid, orange juice, sunshine, tree leaves, ocean, Crayola, orchid.
9. What's your favorite film?
Again, it's hard to say. Even though I love The Wrestler, Matilda, Lion King, Wristcutters, Thirteen, The Notebook, No Country For Old Men, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Boyz in the Hood, Doubt, etc, my favorite movies of all time are LIFETIME. Yep, I'm being serious. You really can't beat Lifetime. Ever.
10. Who's your favorite actor?
I honestly don't know. I don't have a preference, tbh.
11. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
I would be in a wartorn nation. <3 I would lovelovelove to be helping in an extreme situation. I know you don't have to go to that end of the spectrum, but I want to.
12. What are your 3 favorite smells?
Bath and Body Works eau de toilettes, gasoline (weird, I know), the atmosphere after it rains. Yum. Earthy, hahaha.
13. What are your 3 favorite tastes?
I love Top Chef Masters, and this season was no exception. Now, I've never had his food, but I'm one hundred percent that it would be beyond delicious. Do you know who I'm talking about? YES. Rick Bayless. Take me to the Frontera Grill. Somebody? I also love the taste of raspberry jam and I like the taste of Taco Bell. LOLOLOL! I just spoke of THE premiere chef of Mexican cuisine in America and in the next sentence, shamelessly uttered Taco Bell. I really do like Taco Bell. So much for my palette, right?
14. What is your most treasured possession?
My bible, for sure. ;)
15. What did you always want to do/be when you grew up?
Not to be tacky or cliche, because I know a lot of people think they have the greatest style and that they're oh, so fashionable. I wanted to be a fashion designer since I was about 6. Yeah, I still have the sketches to prove it, bitchezzz! Lolol, and I wanted to name my clothing line, 'Fields of Glamour' F.O.G, babby.
16. If you were an ice-cream, what flavor would you be?
Cake batter, fo sho.
17. If someone made a short film of your life, who would play you?
I don't want to be haughty or meek, so I'm not going to answer.
18. What would your perfect afternoon consist of?
Peach lemon iced tea, or Pinkberry, or a banana-choc Vivanno and a black Amex card in my hand. We're going shoppping, dearies. Hahaha, JK. Not really. :|
19. If you were a flower, what would you be?
An orchid! I think they're beautiful. <3 I'm not much of a flower gal, but I love orchids.
20. Tell me a random thing - a quote, a line from a song, book, movie...
I adore Sarah Dessen. I can't explain adequately what it is about her writing, but it has a calming effect. Peaceful, connected, raw, simple, never contrived. Just beautiful. Love love love. The first book of hers I read was 'The Truth About Forever'...she's never really disappointed. Ergo, this is a quote from one of my favorites, 'This Lullaby'
"This lullaby is only a few words, a simple run of chords, quiet here in this spare room, but you can hear it, hear it, wherever you may go, even if I let you down, this lullaby plays on..."
It's so pretty, I can't even explain it. I love it so much, ah. <3 You probably think I'm a freak. Well, YOU read one of her books and see if you don't have the same reaction. It's visceral, I can't help it. :)
I tag all of you, btw. I had fun. Loads.
I'm crazy excited to write this blog, mainly because I l-o-v-e Phillip Lim. I love his palette, I love his versatility, I love the coexistence of masculinity and femininity and I love the little nuances and subtleties in his pieces. Beautiful! Here is the outfit I was inspired by. (to the right) I am enthralled by the purple tights, not nearly opaque, but close to it. They truly are a large focus piece in 
the ensemble and become the hue for which the other pieces are based. The gray-brown pleated skirt is cinched with a thin cafe belt, which ruches the rim and in turn, accentuates the waist. Love strikes me as the outfit concludes itself with the destroyed taupe v-neck and a heather gray cardigan, embellished with black sequins along the chest. I, of course, could never come close recreating this outfit, but tried by doing an updated version. My version (atop) features a blazer rather than a cardigan and a uses a statement top rather than a simple v-neck. The thin strapped blouse dangles with ruffles and is cut off by a bubble, a-line skirt, taupe yet finished by an emerald blue brow. 
The two looks do share the commonality of booties, strapped in an Oxford-meets-Mediterranean fashion. Next, I was inspired by a rougher albeit captivating look. Blanketed by a rolled-up navy blue blazer, a white blouse complete with a neck tie sash becomes anything but ordinary. Tiny leather shorts reinforce this statement as well as black translucent stockings. Last comes the black brogues with a new twist - gold colored rubber soles. My adaptation too features a blazer, albeit a gray one. Because it is baggy and loose-fitted, the TopShop blazer is nipped at the waist by a brown leather belt, its buckle pure gold.
'Twas ('twas? really, Glenda?) a rough weekend to fall back on, so a fun jour like today was well deserved. Bikini-clad and ready to swim, me and two of my dear friends hopped into the car and drove to Lannon Quarry, Wisconsin... The beach is nice; of the 
I will somehow segway and connect the two. Uh... :l Ha ha. As I looked along the sand, there was no one truly 'fashionable'. The swim suits were lacking in style and/or originality and the cover-ups weren't any better. What must one expect at a Wisconsin beach, though? We weren't exactly in the Hamptons. :/ Here are some cute alternative cover ups from Gottex - shwanky, I must shay. :) I'm ridiculous, I know. The first is a pink tunic, to your right. It's light, and ethereal, spun with Italian silk. I love how delicate the material is, extremely airy and weightless. Tres chic with gold sandals and oversize Chanel sunglasses, oui? Yaaah, bish. 
The next is swirly, with ombre type patterns of blues, turquoises, whites and navies. Is that a word? Can you make navy plural? Ha, I do not know. Anyway, it's beautiful. :) Brushing the ankles and tieing just below the chest, it is again lightweight and goddess-like. Cosabella has wonderful swim suits also. I l-o-v-e them. Wow, I'm super retarded in this blog...I sound like an infomercial salesman. That's neither here nor there though. Ahh, as I was saying, one swim suit is a faux leopard print (obv.) bandeau top bikini. The top ties at the neck in halter fashion while the bottom is a miniature version of the boy short. Below is the bikini:
For lack of better words, I love it. & I can completely see myself wearing it. The price tag, however, is what really makes me happy. For a designer that is respected, one would expect this suit to be a couple hundred dollars. Nope! Only $106.00. But hold your horses, ladies and gentlemen, because the bandeau bathing suit is on sale - for nearly half the price. I can't believe you'd only pay $52.90. SO AMAZING.
