Surprise!

Recent News:

I. Today was a long day of class and traveling home but to my surprise I came home to an e-mail from Calivintage saying that I won the Rare Treasure Vintage canvas bag giveaway! I'm so excited because I usually never win anything, and this bag is so so cute I can't wait to use it!

Visit Rare Treasure Vintage on Etsy, they have such great vintage stuff!

II. Also, finally I got to order my dream booties from Urban Outfitters, they were originally $88 but I stalked them for about three months and they finally went on sale to $40! I automatically ordered them and I came home today to a box on my front porch. They are gorgeous, and surprisingly so comfortable.

Private Tour

Last Friday I was grateful enough to get a private tour of Barney's NY with my fashion club at school, I really had no idea what to expect because I've never even set foot in Barney's! Our tour guide (Taylor) was a very educated on Barney's gay man that had worked there since 1994. He knew all the in's and out's and told so many stories.

Did you know....

+ Goyard bags started the vinyl monogram, not Louis Vuitton.

+ Alexander Wang worked for the fashion director of Barney's

+ Frederic Malle is a genius? (more about that later)

+ Kid's True Religion jeans are $150 (ew)

+ Barney's discovered not only Seven Jeans, but also Giorgio Armani!

+ Barney's has a very well known selection of jeans, and the employees should be able to look at you and tell you what size, style and brand of jean would look the best on you

+ Barney's started as a men's wear store in Brooklyn that was known for discounted items

I got a tour of each floor of Barney's and found out why they group designers the on different floors, why there is certain displays, and how a designer's collection moves from floor to floor. I was so impressed with their Co-Op floors with more up and coming designers like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Christopher Kane, Marc by Marc Jacobs and so much more, I got to touch such amazing garments from so many designers, I really was dying the whole time, even our tour guide could tell and gave me a minute to freak out over the Marc Jacobs clothes and bags!

There was a trunk show going on with L'Wren Scott, which was so wonderful to see, all the clothes right from NY Fashion week hanging in front of me, still labels on which model was wearing what, and I saw people trying on the most gorgeous pieces. I feel in love with her FW 2010 collection while standing there, here's a little of it.

I saw a women trying on the pink dress in the middle, the fabric was to die for!

I also got to test out the most amazing invention ever by Frederic Malle, a chamber where perfume was sprayed and you literally got to smell every stage of the perfume at once, instead of half of the smell on a little piece of paper. He collaborated with "some of the best noses in the business" said Taylor our tour guide to make perfume scents that have yet to be made, a collection called Editions De Parfums and let me tell you..they all smelled wonderful! You can look through them on sale at Barney's here, and at their website here

This might be the most writing I've actually done on this blog yet, but I suggest next time you are by Barney's stop in, and amaze yourself!

Picture Sunday: Alexander Wang Version

I have been researching Alexander Wang for a couple weeks now because I'm doing a school project on him, and I found this great website of pictures of his studio that I really wanted to share, so here's the second part of "Pictures Sunday"s

Mod Queen

I wanted to share my outfit today because it's one of my favorites! I know a lot of bloggers talk about loving certain outfits because of memories that have happened while wearing them, this outfit has many memories for me since I've had this certain dress for a little over two years now. It's a Jonathan Saunders for Target dress, has the perfect geometric shapes on it, the perfect mod touches so that when I wear it I feel like a combination of Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick.

Dress; Jonathan Saunders for Target

Tights; Target

Boots; thrifted

A little video that made me very happy, I hope you enjoy

Tomorrow I'm going into the city to finally go to Mood Fabrics with my sewing class as well as going to the FIT museum! I'm so excited to finally go into the city for something more fashion related. I'll take lots of pictures and show you guys when I get back!

March

So here's a little background on this post, I am obsessed, in love, and idolize Zooey Deschanel. I love her style, her hair, her eyes, her voice! She's amazing... ANYWAYS, I'm sure you all know she's in the band She & Him with M. Ward (one of my most favorite singers), and they have a new album coming out in March so naturally they are going on tour (yay!). I tried and did not succeed with getting pre-sale tickets to the show in NYC, but my wonderful boyfriend woke up when I had class and managed to get tickets when they went on sale to the public! So I am officially seeing my idol, Zooey Deschanel preform with M. Ward on March 30th, as you can tell I'm over excited and crossing my fingers that I can somehow meet her.... (I would cry probably)

so back to my post....

Zooey pictures for you:

She's gorgeous, and has the best clothes!

In other news I want to thank Kelsea from Kelsealaurel for the Best Blog Award! She has a wonderful blog mainly for nail polish colors, she gets the greatest colors!
