Going back to school is tough, but I'll do it with style!

A book bag can make or break an outfit and this Guess tote ($39 originally $95) is the perfect frosting to my new ensembles!



Going into the city with my friend on a rainy day to see a new exhibit at the MET--plans of strolling in the park were obviously cancelled. :( Wearing--Forever 21 Grey T, black high waisted frilly skirt, F 21 cloche hat, vintage gold pocket watch (on neck), Kenneth Cole vintage worn leather bag, black bangle.



From the moment i saw this dress I was in love! One of the many perqs of parties is having a excuse to buy an amazing dress! Hope it doesn't outshine the party-girl's dress!!



Patiently waiting to be worn.



Amazing jeans from Urban Outfitters. I am dying to get bleached jeans!!

Who Is Sylvia?--Woodstock, VT

I have been going to Vermont for several years and every time I most look forward to going into Who Is Sylvia? Every room in this vintage shop is like a museum with all the antique jewelry, victorian ball gowns, and ornate hats. In a way it feels scandalous to touch the garments--but true enough they are there to be bought!







So cute...yet oh so itchy!



20 buck rack!



$5 Christmas apron!













This dress was sold by an old store in my town! What are the odds?

Consigning!

Lately my closet has been getting quite hard to handle, so to get some extra cash, to clear out my cluttered space, and to make room for more (!!), I sold a heap of never worn (and that I was never going to wear..) clothing to a local consignment shop Savvy Chic!



Our stuff is packed up and is ready to go!



It looks as though my mom has been to many funerals...haaa

Momma Welcome to the 60's!

It's like Déjà vu to the fashion world! The magazines keep telling me that this Fall is "all about the 80's style jackets and shoulder pads" but my subconscious research has proved those seasoned fashionistas wrong! While flipping through the pages, checking out fashion news and websites, and popping into all the stores I have been noticing a recurring trend similar to the 60's! This excites me profusely for that with no doubt is my favorite fashion era! Here are a few shoe examples of the 21st century version of the hippy decade:



INSPIRATION from the 60's : Ferragamo Rainbow Platforms



2009 version: Dolce and Gabbana face wedges... reminiscent of the Schiaparelli shoe hat?



2009 version: Chanel lightbulb shoes...interesting heel, platforms..very late 60's



2009 version: Louis Vuitton heels. Psychedelic man!



2009 version: Cesare Paciotti shoes...rainbow much?


and the...LAST WHAMMO:



Twiggy in the late 60's



Sonia Rykiel sequin dress...very similar, eh?

Go For The Gold

As soon as Fall fashion magazines were placed on their respective racks, I flew to Borders (they have every magazine known to man!) to pick up a bundle of new and crisp copies. While flipping through the pages, I became a raccoon and was entranced by all of the shiny and the GOLD! Here are a few examples of the sparkly new trend this season:

Christian Laroix
