Here's to another Year: '2014'

HAPPY NEW YEARS: 2014 by painthead featuring modern home decor

A new year is approaching, more quickly then I would want, but why should I be afraid of a "New Year"? A new year to me means a new beginning. A fresh start for any ideas, and goals that were left behind in 2013. Or perhaps any dreams left abandon. I cannot complain at all about this past year(2013). If anything I feel this past year has brought me a few fashion adventures in which I am very thankful for. Adventures I will never forget. One adventure included two of the most awesome fashion shows: Betsey Johnson's and Anna Sui's Spring 2014 collections during New York Fashion Week.

Another fashionable adventure was meeting Dana Maxx during her "Made in NYC" fall/13' press release along side Ben Amun by Issac Manevitz. That same day I visited Polyvore's NYC office.

What a year. I like to reflect back through the year, however, I'm not one to sit and wallow at the things I did not do or should of done. I believe everyone is at a place in their lives because it's their timing to be there. I feel my timing will come, to be able to fully breathe and live in fashion. When will that time be? I'm not certain, but I know giving up will not make it happen. If you have a dream, go for it. Time to dust off those stilettos full of glitter and star dust.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE. HERE's TO '2014' oxox

Some Kind of Plaid

I'm not sure why this type of plaid makes me think of watts from John Hughes "Some kind of Wonderful". Watts is a tomboy who is best friends with Keith. Keith on the other hand is fixated with miss popular Amanda Jones. I won't ruin the movie incase you never seen it, but it is one of John Hughes movies that is under rated and does not get the praise it deserves. 

On another note, i've been MIA for a few days....ooops! Been busy with homework(french and italian) but through out my day I often think of fashion and why I cannot wait to be "working" in it somehow.

Which is why I LOVE instagram, in the moment I can capture what ever inspires or moves me regarding fashion, art and colors. Incase you are ashamed for not following me yet on instagram, you can redeem yourself....tehe...by clicking here --------> My instagram!

Anchors Away:Just Details

The sunlight is so bright and it glows "yellow orange" during the evenings hours in the fall. It turned my blazer into another color: yellow. The real color is yellow green with white stripes. I paired up my blazer with this lovely anchor top by Cynthia Rowley. The top had some really nice details, so today this post is just that: details.

Repeat Offender: Orange Blazer

There goes that orange blazer again. Yeah , i'm guilty of wearing this 50 million times. But i'm not one to purchase new items just for the sake of taking a photo for my blog. There's nothing wrong with going shopping and getting all excited to style your items, but I actually like the task of using what I have already and making a new outfit of it, or try to at least. Lets face it, if I were to purchase a new outfit all the time, i'd be broke with no lattes. So the trick : mix something new with the old.

Four different looks with my very old oranger blazer.

FALLish WAYS 2013: J.Crew

 J.Crew RTW Fall 2013 created by Jenna Lyons was inspired by a trip she took to Marrakech. You can clearly see the bold geometric shapes of Morocco. Also there is a reflection of the nations hues and palette of their spices in the form of fabric: Cinnamon, Ivory, Paprika Turmeric and Imperial Blue.
Can every piece end up in my closet?
