Closeted Prep (aka:explanation for my obsession...
I can always tell that I’m homesick when I feel an inexplicable itch to purchase the entirety of J.Crew’s catalogue and begin appreciate pants embroidered with small whales. The irony of New England- a place where your social rank relies upon the amount of animals that you can stuff into one outfit (polo ponies, alligators, said whales, ect.)
ermmm...
Was I the only who noticed that Givenchy H.C. was super Valentino-ish? FIT students take note: If Ricardo can rip off Valentino with ease, so can you.
I hate the snobby asian students at school.
Notice that I included ‘snobby’ in the title above, this post does not apply to all Asian FIT students. Anyways, today I journeyed to school for what reason I do not know. I went to the free magazine section of the library and found it recently replenished with the exact Vogue issues that I fawned over as an annoyingly fashion-obsessed youth. ...
“No satin dresses. No one looks good in satin dresses unless it’s from Betsey...”
– Pi Phi (Cornell Chapter) rush chair’s wardrobe rules for the approaching rush season. Situations such as this make me happy to attend fashion school…
PS: the dress code at Vogue is not this diligent.
Where are her parents?
Tavi the style rookie has dyed her hair blue. In a statement posted on her blog the pint-sized menace reported that, “I was told I look like an Oompa Loompa during lunch and it made my day increasingly better.” This girl needs a reality check, and some barbie dolls. I am considering sending her some in order to give the girl a sense of 13 year old normalcy.

Stuck on the Upper East Side
Sorry to all of my friends: you will not be seeing me until after fashion week. I am stuck on my couch making necklaces for the next two weeks. xo
College Capitalism
Included with my student loan statements that I recieved today was a coupon for Proactive. Debt and acne, the modern American way.

And…. The fashion week countdown begins. Three weeks in counting. Shall start hoarding sleep now.
“Well he was looking very good at that starbucks… I almost ordered him off...”

The Zac Posen for Target look book was released today, and I must say that the collection is quite impressive. Zac was intuitive enough to break down his most revered silhouettes and interpret them for a young Target consumer. Dare I say that this collection is more successful than the neon bullshit that he designed for Spring ‘10. Zac’s line for...
While on the subject of Crystal Renn...
I just flipped through V’s latest size issue and realized that most of the featured plus sized models don clothing constructed of stretch material. Seriously, stretch material? This was such an easy route to take. It would have been much more prolific to dress these women in a Theyskens Rochas or an old Galliano; classic silhouettes that would have...

Lula Magazine is a wondrously progressive publication that showcases absurd femininity at its best; their poster child is what I often describe as a, “Disheveled Lolita.” If you are a bit tight on cash and cannot spring for the $15 bi-annual publication here is the next best thing. Lula has an online scrapbook (aka:blog) that provides readers with a similarly flirty fix.
