another lazy post... 


been experimenting with very very basic photo-editing. 

song o'the week

quick. think. listen.

a QUICK post.


i THINK i will embark on this new DIY project: 

while LISTENing to this random bit of electronic. not my usual auditory fare, but something about it brings me back to the nintendo days. it makes me quite happy.

sheers f'sale

officially the 12098572th summer heat wave hitting up the eastcoast. the furcoatfeeeling makes me itch for some easy breezy sheezy sheers. luckily, shopbop has a slew of them in their SALE BIN. okok the alexwang tank will be on hold until i become a baller in approximately 30 years. but nonetheless. eat it up!

link it up: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq.


blowin my cover: i just googled "count in french". because i want to be cool. 

pockets full of posing

after following some of my fave fashion bloggers religiously for the past several months, i've finally realized the SECRET to their worldwide(web) success: the signature pose. (oh right and yea their awesome sense of inspiring, individual style, their hot boyfriend photographers, and endless supply of new outfits/shoes/accessories...) but run with this idea. these lovely ladies have each mastered the art of THE pose that is so characteristic of their different styles. observe... 

Exhibit A: Rumi Neely of fashiontoast.com
the "almost-candid-westcoast-chilling-in-front-of-cool-backgrounds" side pose

Exhibit B: Karla of karlascloset.blogspot.com
the "demure-yet-mona-lisa-smiling-cross-legged-sitting" pose

Exhibit C: Andy of stylescrapbook.com
the "nonchalant-look-at-my-neverending-long-legs-look-even-longer" pose

so...what's your pose?

when did you get so cool

man.. jcrew lookbooks always deliver. hello fall collection 2010.

shopping cart show

i invite you to take a glimpse at my compulsive online shopping habit. i like to hoard things in my virtual shopping cart all across the interweb- not necessarily to purchase, but sometimes just for inspiration or as a guide for when i make the actual trip down to the stores. today's selection of shopping cart finds via forever21: 

finds: shoes, lacedress, shirt, bra, ring, skirt, greydress

vacation state of mind

it's been about 3 weeks since i've been back from my westcoast/eastcoast sampling of trips to LA, OC, Vegas, Maine, Quebec, and Montreal. so why is it so hard to shake that vacation state of mind... 

song o the day

i like working out to chill songs. not that in yo face pump you up stuff. well that's cool too. whatevs. i also really like courier font. k bye

love me some sale.

there is something you should know: i shop almost exclusively from the sale section. i scour the stores, floors, and interwebs for deals like its my freakin job. 


today's outfit finds via urban outfitters: (all items are UNDER 19.99! holla)

+

this loose tank and chill pant make a sweet day-to-night outfit. comfy for lounging but cool enough to throw on some heels and ramp up the jewels for a night out. 

+

or this and this. how about a pair of brown oxfords and a vintage belt for some everyday wear

and there is SO MUCH MORE on uo.com to browse from for under $20. gotta love it. 

MAXit out, yo.

not a fan of the word maxi. reminds me of maxipad. no good. 
SO.. it's 100 degrees on the east coast. but i love love the long skirt- the perfect cheeeell vibe, it's boho-ish, practical, multiseasonal. it's got a totally diff feel than the maxi dress, which i couldn't really get into. 

got this in my daily whowhatwear digest TODAY

hence the inspiration to post and expand with these other pics that i've been saving for a while.

on the left is one of a super cool blogger (http://www.froufrouu.com/)

on the right is one of my fave LV shows. these might be pants... but whatevs it's cool. 

and seriously. what's a fashion forecast w/o the olsens

always clearly ahead of the game. my personal faves.
