{chanel rouge coco} the look i'm dying for


Okay the most horrible thing about my life? 1. I don't look like Sigrid Agren. I was going to be sarcastic and add some more reasons why life is horrible but this basically just sums everything bad up. If I looked like her I might get much more out of the most horrible things in my life.

So in anticipation to put my look together for the event I have this weekend, I stupidly and idiotically stumbled to the Chanel counter in Macy's (which is never a good idea) and drooled at this campaign. Drool. Real drool.
I wanted to re-create this look so bad with my little party dress. Once I found out this 'Rouge Coco' shade was 'Magnolia', I smiled, nodded, and threw my hands out at the sales lady and demanded the lip stick in my hands.
But here comes the joke...OH! There's a waiting list. Ricardo (the best gay I've ever met at the local mall) held his hands at his heart and told me he felt my suicidal urge. They just get everything, don't they? Apparently Macy's only got 12 bottles about 2 months ago. And the punch line of the joke is that Neiman's, Bergdorf's, Saks, Lord & Taylor, and basically anywhere else in existence is sold out too.The happy part is that once it arrives it will fall directly into my hands, and they can't sell it to anyone else. The sad part is that the delivery expectance is unpredictable and by the time I have my hands on it, it will be dwindling into fall. Sigh. #fashiongrlproblems #chanelgrlproblems #prettygrlproblems #whitegrlproblems. Basically.

{your basic striped T} 3 different ways

Basic Striped T - 3 Different Ways





I've been finding many unworn basics in my closet recently and constantly pondering what the heck and where the heck I'm going to wear them. The problem with some basics is--you wear 'em once, you forget about 'em. Or: you wear the crap out of them and force yourself to forget about them. I'm assuming that's why mine are all hidden in the back of my closet.

Outfit number 1: Out on the town casszggg. (casual). Your giant black hole of a tote, your spiked sneakers and your beloved AG ex boyfriend jeans. A simple necklace and you have officially implemented 0 effort. You: 1. Striped T: 0.

Outfit number 2: Fashion closet/intern office/corporate office chic. You fooled 'em. You've officially channeled your style Gods with this outfit. A bold peplum skirt, even one in black, does the job for you. This striped T and that bold structure go hand in hand. Pair with peep toes, sandals, or if you're interning, your Dolce Vita sandals. Go bold on jewelry and keep your classic envelope clutch under arm. Ballet bun intended.

Outfit Number 3: Your striped T hits the town. Printed pants, bright makeup and minimal, classic jewelry pull this together. Do I need to justify myself again with these Zara cap toe pumps? I'll be obsessed for springs to come. 

Aaaaand essentially, outfit number 4 would be your striped T with Alternative Earth leggings and your favorite pair of slippers. Fire side, with glass of wine in hand. I didn't feel the need to depict this because we all know before this post that's the only way you've ever worn your striped T. 

So break them out people!

{moschino graffiti pants} 3 different ways


Moschino Graffiti Pants- 3 Different Ways
The moment I saw these Moschino pants browsing through Net-a-porter, I instantly fell into a sea of admiration. Moschino-graffiti-crazy admiration at best. They're satin and stretchy and skinny and ugh. Do I have to justify myself here? I obviously 'magic genied' them into my armoire and immediately began playing dress up with my imaginary friend named Moschino. I know, I sound crazy. But these pants are crazy. And I am crazy. And what do 2 crazy things have in common? This is dumb.

But back to what matters the most: Outfit numero uno consists of an everyday, running around town chic. Opt for these wedge sneakers or maybe even your favorite Marant's. A baggy T and an oversized bag dress these pants to ultimate comfort and perfection making them look effortless.

Outfit numero dos consists of your everyday I'm going out to dinner with my boyfriend or my trendy girlfriends for drinks. Or, if you're feeling frisky- wear this on your first date. But we all know how I feel about men and their lack to accept anything but a peplum top and graffiti pants. (But hey, my guy and I hit it off due to him drunkenly naming me 'Aladdin Girl' & 'Parachute Pants' thanks to January 2010's most popular trend: The Harem Pant. And now we're in love.) An envelope clutch, bold sandals and a bib necklace play these babies up just enough.

Outfit numero tres: GO BOLD! I'm feeling statement on top of statement on top of statement. We've all heard of mixing prints, so why not now? Stripes seemed the most practical, but I'm feeling a little python as well. The options are endless, practically. Going basic on accessories helps you from going overboard. I was really channeling silver and of course, my all time favorite Zara cap toe heels.

So I mean now that you find me so weird for channeling a personality/friend in these Moschino pants, I can honestly assume you've stopped reading. But if you haven't: fall in love too!

{what happened to} the boyfriend jean?



So in honor of my outfit inspo post this morning I felt like this post was much needed. What happened to the boyfriend jean? When I tell you I've gone everywhere, everywhere today looking for boyfriend jeans--I'm being completely honest.

Do you think I just bull shit my outfit inspo posts? Because here's a fun fact, -I don't. I legitimately woke up this morning, poured my coffee (black) and passionately felt that that T shirt and jeans were perfect for today's occasion.

The Boyfriend Jean
So since I'm not a bull shitter, I went all around town looking for boyfriend jeans. Target-even target, didn't have them. Now it's 11:05 PM and here I am on my bed in Victoria's Secret PINK sweat pants. 

I'm desperately hoping I still have this desire for boyfriend jeans tomorrow morning despite the heat wave because it looks like I'm gonna have to order online. 

{Tuesday} Outfit Inspiration



Outfit Inspiration



The weather outside is frightful. I mean, for June, and a weather forecast that called for sun. With that, I think this simple outfit is perfect for the day. Change the heels to flats if you're doing more running around--keep them edgy though. I DIE for that Proenza. D.I.E. Too bad I couldn't put that on my birthday wish list.

Hope this inspires you to stay comfy and stylish today.

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT PASSION PIT'S NEW ALBUM! It's coming out sometime in July I believe. I saw them in January 2010 and it was honestly the best night of my life to this day. They played at Terminal 5 somewhere around 10th and since I've seen so many shows at that venue. If you're bored on a Friday in NYC I suggest you head uptown and sit at one of the 5 floors of bars or even the roof bar. I could bet my last dollar that whoever's playing will be enjoyable. But back to Passion Pit--there's a strong rumor flying that the lead singer went to my high school but I'm not entirely sure how credible that is. Anyway. If you don't listen to them I'd check out their new song 'Take A Walk'. Such fun sounds that'll make you wanna dance wherever you're standing. While you're at it, check out 'Manners', their last album. There's not one song I didn't like. This is probably my first 'favorite' band ever. They make me so happy. I just wish they played in the back round of my life all the time. By the way, I ask that question a lot. If you could have one song playing in your head all day everyday what would it be?

{a specific} birthday wish list





A Birthday Wishlist



Sometimes I feel guilty for my wish lists. Especially ones bearing items that I don't necessarily deserve. My birthday is July 30th, and in honor of the end of one of the almost-last-months of summer, I like to 'wish' for things that will transition me into fall. Because let's be honest--even on this morning in June, we're already thinking about fall. 

I don't think the things on my list are crazy overbearing! They're must have staple items that I'll have in my wardrobe forever. But I'll be honest, I don't know how long wedge sneakers will be a trend for.

If you're reading and you love me take a hint to this! ^. 

P.S. You're probably all like why is she blogging again out of nowhere? I either had too much caffeine or just simply missed it. No questions please.
