Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol Live For a Day


I dressed as Edie Sedgwick and my friend dressed as Andy Warhol for Halloween this year. I had the best time and am seriously thinking about dressing like this all the time!!













The REAL Edie Sedgwick (and Andy Warhol)

Monique L'huillier

This is another fashion presentation/show I went to during Fashion Week Fall '09. Monique L'huillier is a genius---the most gorgeous dresses I have ever seen! I love the shredded pantyhose sleeves contrasted under beautifully created dresses.

Fall '09 Fashion Week: Rachel Roy


Outside the building where the show was shown


Love the mirror necklace




Love how there's feminine silhouettes like bustiers mixed with tailored menswear




Andre Leon Talley was there!!




Olivia Palermo from the City was also there, snuck a pic of her


My friend David, who interns with a stylist, had some "ins" for Fashion Week in February and brought me along. I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED. Rachel Roy's collection was absolutely stunning...such a great color palette!!

Anna with Sienna Miller (love her)

I am absolutely in love with/terrified of the most powerful and influential fashion icon out there now: Anna Wintour. I am reading this book called Anna Wintour: What Lies Beneath the Chic Exterior of Vogue's Editor In Chief, which portraits "a fashion-obsessed teenager in Swinging Sixties London who claws her way up the ivory tower in New York."
Not even finishing high school and donning a bob since her early teens, Anna Wintour has always had only one goal in mind: to be the Editor In Chief at Vogue. She's decisive, bitchy, smart, charming, fashionable, and competitive -- characteristics that helped her get to where she is today.

Hair on Broadway


I saw HAIR on Broadway the other day, and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! From the high energy of the actors to the bohemian/beatnik theme to the fabulous 70's style clothing....if you're ever in NYC i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it. That time (late 60's during the Vietnam War) was so riveting including the style. After I got out, I immediately wanted to completely deck out in 70's garb, especially FRINGE. I've been on ebay every day looking for a fringe vest, but not just any fringe vest...an INTERESTING one...with no success yet, but still looking.

I loooooooove the guy on the far right's red orange fringe jacket.


I bought this psychedelic bandanna that they were selling at the merchandise table

I drew this face for my fashion drawing class that was inspired from 70's bandanna

I <3 the Union Jack




Why are the British so much cooler? I will proudly wear their country's flag, but wouldn't be caught dead wearing mine. Maybe it's their absolutely charming accents of which I frequently try to replicate (One British guy I met said that I have a "Posh" British accent, and I don't think he was referring to chic Victoria).
 On my frequent visits to the one and only U.S. TopShop, I am constantly tempted to buy purses, shirts, and wallets, with the British flag. 
Here I'm wearing the shirt TopShop handed out if you bought over $100 on opening day.

Trashy Biker to Biker Chic

Trashhhhh




Chicccc

I am in love with leather shorts. I've been looking around online for some under like $30 because I am dirt broke, but no luck. Mixing the whole retro-craze this summer with high-waisted leather shorts would look so hot. Pin-up girl with a motorcycle! As soon as I get a new digital camera AND purchase a pair of leather shorts, I will post it...

If you have some money to spend, these are fire.
