*Thank God It's Spring Break!

After the most dreaded month for high school seniors, Spring Break could not be more appropriately timed. I don't think I could have made it through all the stress, the rejection, the excitement, and the self-doubt without knowing that at the end of the month I would have a fabulous week off when I could completely rejuvenate. I feel like I need a spa day or something after these past few weeks.

Now that March is over and I have a break off, let's celebrate the joys of vacation, beaches, swimsuits, and SUMMER! Only two more months of high school and then summertime babayy!!

Friday, I'm In Love: Miu Miu

March 30, 2012

This Miu Miu clutch is so absolutely perfect. Most clutches are gold or black, which is so totally boring for spring, but this clutch is coral and I absolutely adore coral. The shape is sweet and flirty, too, and I kind of like how the gold at the top reminds me of an awesome mustache. The clutch is available at net-a-porter.com

Fight On!

March 29, 2012


Guess what arrived in the mail today? You have no idea how excited I am. I even wore a mustard sweater and red raw silk skirt to school today to show off how absolutely stoked I was to receive a BIG ENVELOPE from THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (aka the university of spoiled children, where I will fit in perfectly!)

Who would ever think that burgundy and gold go so well together? Certainly not I, but upon second thought I realize there are a lot of opportunities for these colors. So I scoured the internet to find some possible school-spirit-appropriate clothes, and wouldn't you know, even Proenza Schouler has hopped on the "Burgundy <3's Gold" Train. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Friday, I'm In Love: The Hunger Games

March 23, 2012

I know you've probably all heard about The Hunger Games by now, but seriously you guys, it is soooo good. I went at midnight last night and it was fabulous. I do suggest reading the books first but even if you are just a casual viewer you will be able to appreciate the compelling tale of dear Katniss.

For fellow fashion bloggers, you will revel in the neon-hued threads of the Capitol crowd and physics-defying gowns Katniss dons in order to gain sponsors for the horrible Games she is forced to compete in. Katniss herself is a true inspiration and is one of the strongest female characters I have seen in a long time. Critics of Twilight rejoice, we have found the anti-Bella!

Check out some of the sweet clothes in the movie:

District 12 Tribute Escort Effie Trinket's signature color is pink
Flamboyant head wear from the Capitol spectators
Effie loves a good floral accessory, and her eye makeup is fabulous!
Katniss presents herself during her interview as "The Girl on Fire" and her red-hot dress literally spews out flames. Karl Lagerfeld, make this happen!
Even Katniss' training uniform is a perfect inspiration for spring's athletic influences
Wig makers hard at work to get the Capitol crowds en vogue
Some chic Capitol footwear
Katniss' final interview outfit is supposed to be innocent and sweet -but those false eyelashes totally scream BAMF
