the ravens taking strike

I know stuff came out about V magazines size issue a couple weeks ago but i really love this video. I never really know how i feel about the skinny/normal model fight. But i know these women are gorgeous.

Sorry for the lack of posts... I just really haven't been very inspired lately. And my weekend was kinda a downer. But I did get to go to the sympohony with my best friend ever that i never get too see, which was AMAZING. Not looking forward to this week...

pinch me to waking so undeniably yours

MY TRIP TO EUROPE IS ONLY 4 MONTHS AWAY!!

Can you tell I'm excited? Well, I've already been looking at new clothes for it, mostly dresses, skirts and some highwaisted shorts. I really want to find some flowy vintage maxi skirts and some simple jersey dresses. Unfortunately, I've saving up for a canon rebel(which I can't wait for!) so I haven't actually been able to buy anything(need. job. nowww). I've also been thinking a lot about practical shoes. I'm not gonna lie, I am terrible at walking in heels and even high wedges, so I'll definitely be needing some nice flats. I am really loving these sandals from gojane because they are so affordable....all of them are $15 or less. Not necessarily great quality, but I don't really have the money for that, and good quality shoes usually use leather anyways. But I'm trying to figure out which color I would buy. Black is obviously always a safe bet, but I am really loving greys right now and the taupe color is really nice... opinions?

suede zipper ruffle wedge sandal, braided suede thong sandal, suede metallic gladiator sandal

p.s. this really makes me want an stars/outerspace/intergalactic dress nowww.

Lauren McGrath, the daughter half of good bones great pieces, is a fashion assistant at teen vogue. After stumbling upon the blog I looked through their entire archive because i absolutely loved her outfits. She mixes inexpensive and designer items with ease and has even been snapped by the sartorialist & garance dore. I love seeing what an industry insider wears everyday. And I would definitely check her out... I have a feeling she's going to be huge. And isn't she stunning?!

Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Sonia Rykiel S/S 2010

I don't know why, but I really love this. I think its because of all of the lipstick tones...does that make any sense? probably not.

Happy MLK day!

I want you to have a good time but if you get a girl pregnant out of wedlock, I will crawl into the car, drive up to Oxford and cut off your penis.

I've said it once and I'll say it again:china magazines are amazing. I don't care if its vogue or elle, they always deliver gorgeous editorials that i die for. Stam is definitely in her element here.

Oh and I finally saw the Blind Side last night and it was amazing. The story was soooooooo inspirational and reminded me why I want to foster/adopt when I get older.
