New York and in Love

I saw the boots. the boots. the only boots. the chloe f/w 07 ones that spurred this Dr. marten comeback and they looked killer walking down Bleeker street beneath a pair of lengthy legs. I was jealous. but it is New York, and fabulous people do live here, right? I have yet to make my way around to the Tom Binns store/ anywhere else of that nature but seeing as I will be in Brooklyn for an entire month, it will soon be checked off my to-do list.


LASTLY, I just popped on to JAK & JIL for a little bit of late night indulgence and all I can say is OMGIVENCHY, what a show. Without having seen anything but one photograph, I am already in awe - can't wait for it to be posted on style.com.

But i DO Like Mondays

I stumbled upon this new online fashion boutique called I DON'T LIKE MODAYS, the site features comfy, graphic apparel with amazing artist as designers. A few of the designers I found particularly intriguing were a Purlieu, Mommy vs. Daddy, and Red Clay. The designs by Purlieu are slightly reminiscent of those by Cassette Playa but evoke a more whimsical feeling while the triangular and geometric designs by Red Clay remind me of my own work. Congrats to those behind the creation of I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS and best of luck to your business! I have a feeling I'll be placing an order soon...

Slow Summer

i apologized for the lack of posts over the school year and now i apologize for the lack of posts over the summer... I really have no excuse other than i'm lazy. running a blog is too much work!!! i'd rather just shop at vintage and thrift stores - which i've done an abundance of in my free time. This summer i practically bought myself an entirely new wardrobe and most of it cost under $10. Besides the shopping i've been dabbling in sewing and riding my bike around with ARI i've also read a few books, (Go ask Alice,The Answer is Always Yes, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower) i'm usually not one for teen books but i am 15 after all.

Needy Girl

A friend and I got bored the other day and made men's shirts into dresses. it completely inspired me to create a collection based on the same fitted shape. I'll keep you posted! and the collection is for Thread Fair, an Austin - area fashion show a couple of my friends and I are hosting. Check it out,

The Domain

The Domain is certainly a culture that i am not familiar with in Austin, the Neiman's, betsey johnson, LV, and Burberry Boutiques are a tad pricier than the mangy racks in New Bohemia on Congress Avenue. But the Domain as well as "SoCo" are both bursting with overpriced overrated and overtrendy apartment buildings. The first thing that popped into my head as we drove down the "italian - inspired" main street of the domain was, "how much ******* crack do you have to smoke to think this is a good place to live?!", apparently none at all. The women who live in the Domain are like Pre-kid soccer moms in juicy track suits. I could rant on, but i'll stop before i hurt myself and instead bring up the lovely SCORE i made. Free People is also located in the domain and even though the store is a little to hippy for my taste i found a gorgeous dress there for less than half its original price. It's a two layered deeply detailed and sequined empire dress with tons of sequins and two little(hippy) elephants. It was marked down to $30 from $168-!!! chaching

"The Domain" certainly ranks up there with ridiculously prestigious names like "The Austonian" which is being built down town down as i type.
