I love this Alice + Olivia look. I’m diggin’ the extreme mixing of patterns and colors.
I love the use of eyelet lace, cheetah and floral prints in Dolce & Gabanna. Tre Chic!
L.A.M.B rocks. I would soooooo wear this (if I had the body.)
I had a small chuckle about how Prada has a “scrubs” look for spring. I love it though.
This skirt is rad.
Hi everyone, sorry that I have been gone. I hadn’t felt very inspired lately to blog about anything of any importance. But NOW I am. A lot has happened in the past couple months. Hmm… let’s contemplate on these said subjects and other various topics while we inhale a bowel of Golden Grahams.
1. I love Golden Grahams. They tasty, mmmmm.
2. That reminded me of the Golden Girls for some reason.
3. And that reminded me of Betty White! Oh gosh, Betty rocks. I saw You Again this past weekend, it is super cute and a must see date movie… although I went alone… *cough*LOSER*cough*
4. Working for Nordstroms Rack has been very interesting and a wonderful experience. It has been HARD WORK. All my past experience in retail has nothin’ on it.
5. I got to play with the designer shoes today. I started to drool over a pair of Kate Spade heels and began to moan and squeal over a pair of Badgley Mishaka pumps. [My name is Lauren… and I have a problem.]
6. Ughhhh… I need to go to bed like in 5 minutes. I’m an old man at heart and I have to get my beauty sleep because I have work at 7 am.
7. I bought a TV the other day. My old roommate moved out and took the TV and my other roommate demands that I help pay for the cable… when I didn’t have a TV? So I had to get a TV. I’m blonde at heart and I am having great difficulty putting it together. I NEED TO WATCH GOSSIP GIRL, DAMN IT.
8. I need to clean up my vocabulary, don’t tell my mother that.
9. Mom, if you’re reading this– Sorry.
10. Speaking of linguistics, since living in LA, I noticed I have been talking “differently.” I don’t know how to explain it, but I sound like I’m Southern and I know how to make a mean batch of fried chicken and creme corn. I kinda like it.
11. I have a project due in my Fashion Merchandising class soon. I was going to do it on fashion shows, but I’m changing my mind… I’ll keep you posted.
12. I should be telling you about what I have been learning about in my Fashion Merchandising class! I’ll save that for the next post…
13. #nowplaying Michael and Janet Jackson– Scream
14. What should I wear to work tomorrow? I need to mix it up.
15. I’ve been having luck in the love department lately. [blushes and changes topics]
16. I’m in the mood to eat something incredibly bad and delicious.
17. Why am I not asleep yet???? I’m going to be a bitch in the morning lol. [Repeat #8]
18. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SPRING 2011 IS AMAZING. Did I need to yell that? YES I DID.
Sarah Burton [took over for McQueen] IS A GENIUS.
Hellooooooo? Is it not obvious how amazing every single piece of this collection is? [shakes head in disbelief.] I cannot believe that such masterpieces even exist!
Wow. I get emotional over fashion a little too easily. Somebody, QUICK– Hand me an Ambien.
I must say… Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2011 collection is very classy and impressive. I’ve always loved Victoria Beckham, even when she was Posh Spice. I love how professional and clean her designs are. Bravo!
Let me update on what’s been going on lately. First let’s start with the fashion show that I volunteered for. It was very different, because I thought it was going to be a traditional fashion show. But no, it was a type of “platform modeling,” where the models had to be on platforms and pretend they were mannequins. It was very interesting to say the least. I was in charge of styling and dressing two models, a women and a little kid. It was a fun experience!
The Emmys just happened last night and everyone looked beautiful, here are some of my favorites…
Eva Longoria Parker in Robert Rodriguez
Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta
Heidi Klum (My personal favorite)
And last but not least… I just found out that I got the job for Nordstrom! They said that they enjoyed my enthusiam and excitement and they would love to have me work in the Shoe Department. YAY! [Insert happy dance]
Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2010-2011 stage design is absolutely stunning!
I’m at school right now and I have quite a bit of time to kill before my next class.
I had an online class this morning and I was incredibly bored at our apartment. I still have yet to get a job. Any takers? Going once… going twice… yeah, I didn’t think so. So I sit here in the school library, jobless… book-less (still need to buy textbooks)… boyfriend-less (we’ll worry about that later)… hungry (Cup-o-noodles in my purse was, by far, not enough)… and bored.
What does one do when such dilemmas are forced down upon thee?
1. We check Facebook
2. We awkwardly stare at hot guys walking by our table
3. We search our purse for something to eat
4. We try to listen to music… but iTunes is being stupid
5. We try to figure out a way to solve our “boyfriend situation”
6. We swivel around in our chair until we start to get sick
7. We post annoyingly long wall-posts on our sister’s Facebook wall
8. We Tweet about useless, boring things (i.e. “Just had a banana nut muffin”)
9. We start to sing “Holla Back Girl” because they spell b-a-n-a-n-a-s in the lyrics
10. And of course, We study all the Fall trends/looks that are becoming very popular
Trend #1: Camel
Nicole Farhi blazer
Ralph Lauren Collection shoe
Trend #2: Lace
Alexander McQueen
Erdem Resort
Trend #3: Fifties
Bibhu Mohapatra
Fendi
I am in LOVE with these looks from McQueen’s Spring 2011 show.
Questa collezione è così bella.
Domencio and Stefano amazed me once again, their men’s Spring 2011 collection is the exact example of what the men’s fashion industry needed. I loved the fact that they were going back to the house’s signatures. The clean color pallet and lines where very refreshing. I loved the fact that you see sharp suits coming down the runway and then next you see models coming out with casual shorts with rope as the belt. genio.
When I go to heaven, the men will be wearing Dolce & Gabbana. These designs are angelic.
[Exhale] SUMMER’S FINALLY HERE! Yes, I just yelled that like a little child. The season of popsicles, shorts, miniskirts and tan lines are amongst us, ladies and gentlemen.
This past semester was kind of a dud, all I can do is keep my chin up and look into the future. I have BIG news actually, I can’t believe I forgot about this, but anywaysssss…. I’m MOVING! This is BIG, cause I am leaving the nest after twenty years and I am moving to Los Angeles. [Insert Cabbage Patch dance and high-five]
I’m actually really scared about moving out, cause I have no clue how to live on my own. I’m a big adult baby. I can’t wait to take off my training wheels and live on my own. I’m in the process of finding apartments and a car. My mother says I need to start packing, but I’m not moving for a good month. I don’t know if that’s me being the procrastinated person I am or my mother can’t wait to kick me out. Where on earth does one find cardboard boxes? Sorry that’s random, yet relative… so the question still stands. I might as well pack all my clothes in garbage bags, while I hold onto my shoes personally on my drive south.
The first week I live in my new place, my sister is going to say with me [yes, I need her] and we are going to have a week of fun. I have tickets to Disneyland and we plan on doing all the cliché Los Angeles stuff.
*Mental note: buy a burrito after writing this.
Once I move to Los Angeles, I know that I’ll have a lot more interesting things to say to you all. But till then, let’s talk about the Resort 2011 shows. I’m in l-o-v-e with Balenciaga’s resort collection… tre magnefic. Nicolas Ghesquière amazed me again with charming prints, full skirts and little vests. Futuristic tribal masterpieces made for the masses.
