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!

Dream a little Dream

  You know your having a great week when you find an Oscar De La Renta blazer in the thrift shop. The price was $6.95, but because the tag was yellow, I got it for 50% off. Of course I did my happy dance and to top it off it's in green, my favorite color. The blazer is constructed and tailored so well.
That feeling of being luxurious in an Oscar blazer fell upon me..Ahhh! However, that feeling quicky faded when I had to take out the trash and do the dishes. Gotta love life ;)

Tomorrow I will be heading out to NYC for Fashion Week. Many have had the head start of already attending more shows then I can count on my hands, but just being able to attend one/two shows during any season is always a dream. I received an invite to attend Betsey Johnsons SS/14 and Anna Sui SS/14 by Polyvore. I seriously love polyvore so much and I am truly honored and thankful to get these invites. Next post will be a recap of the shows, so stay tune or you can follow the action live via

ReCap 2013: My Outfits

 It is already September and in a few months we will be counting down the new year, as we see the ball drop in Time Square. Before the year is actually over, I wanted to recap some of my 2013 outfits. It is always good to reflect on life, goals and dreams even if it is not part of a resolution. I useto write my resolutions down, but stopped for a while. I recently found an old journal with goals and dreams I wrote as a teen. Some goals have come true, while others keep me still hoping. Either way, think back to the start of 2013, have any of your goals/dreams came true?

Print, Neon and Autumn OH MY!

Here comes the fall again, falling on my head like a memory....Just referencing "Here comes the rain again" 80's song from the Eurythmics. Summer came and went, but my favorite season is autumn. The trees turn colors, the air is crisp, the sunlight is more bright; giving a luscious yellow glow.
Autumn's palette is mostly brown's, deep reds, greens, orange and mustard yellow, but I do like to add some brights as well. Why not? Why can't you add some neon pink to fall colors? Autumn always compels me to have more fun getting dressed daily. Can't wait to bring on the layering too.

Speaking of bright, these neon pink pants from HM are so bright they almost look photoshopped, but they are not. None of these photos are filtered or adjusted. I've been using my poppy coach bag more then ever. This one I purchased when I won 3rd place in a polyvore contest ---> (Here)
