Check out the Vogue cover for May 2009!!





Jourdan Dunn, Lara Stone, and Raquel Zimmermann are on the cover... I have to buy this issue! The fabulous Natalia Vodianova (also on the cover) is featured in a spread in which she portrays some of the most influential models of all time.



Penelope Tree, Twiggy.



Marisa Berenson, Suzy Parker.



Veruschka, Jean Shrimpton.

I can't get these Rick Owens boots out of my head!!!



I know they are from a few seasons ago, but I could care less. I also would wear them despite the slight wedge heel.

I also wouldn't mind wearing these...



....Or these....



Both of which are also Rick Owens.

I came across this tote from For Love 21 the other day. It's a total Lanvin knockoff.



I LOVE IT. I've found my new beach bag/overnighter. The best part? It's called the "fashionista" tote.

It's Raining Menswear

Today, while at Barnes & Noble, I came across a menswear edition of WWD. I picked it up and was in awe of the fabulous menswear coverage that was inside. I am usually drawn to womenswear because it tends to be a little more creative and crazy (and let's face it, women can wear more things such as dresses and corsets). The menswear I saw was just as creative and innovative. Plus, I would have worn almost everything I saw. Take a look.



Lanvin
The thin, simple, silk scarf in jewel tones is a trend to be copied!



Alexander McQueen



Prada
Simple, dark, well-tailored. Prada always translates the womenswear idea to menswear effortlessly.



Junya Wantanabe



Jil Sander
Most of the pieces in this collection were cut like feminine hourglass figures. Subtle androgyny such as that really appeals to me.

Gold Rush

Lately, I have been obsessed with big, chunky, modern/ old world gold (and occasionally silver) jewelry. I planned on wearing a big gold plate-like necklace for senior project, but unfortunately, I do not own one. So I didn't wear one. It made me a little sad. But I love that type of jewelry. There is something very earthy and medieval about it. I really like pieces by Robert Lee Morris.

Random Interesting Pictures Post

Here are some photos I currently find interesting or inspiring.

Ali's House And Imitations

I am writing to you from the fabulous Ali's house. Ali is my best friend (yes, this is sounding like the blog I posted a while ago at Anna's house, but Anna, Ali and I... We are a trio.) The three of us are at Ali's "getting ready" for our senior project tomorrow (we are dying Anna and Ali's hair and gossiping and eating... Yes, that's how we spend our time.) We just came back from a shopping expedition at the new Forever 21 that opened at an extremely local shopping center (happy!) as well as a pizza run. We also introduced a close friend to Forever 21 style which was really fun. That's what the Fashionistas do! (yes, we call ourselves the Fashionistas. I know. You're jealous!) So, the giant two-story (two-story!) Forever 21 had it's grand opening on Saturday and I bought a pair of army green jodhpurs that were very Balenciaga-esque. They looked a little something like this:



Cute, right? They were on sale for EIGHT BUCKS and I could not pass them up. It was a swift purchase. I got a pair in black too, and I think I am going to wear the black ones tomorrow for my senior presentation. I'm thinking black jodhpurs, black turtleneck, black leather boots, and some kind of chunky necklace.

In addition to my imitation Balenciagas, I also came across some pictures of Nicole Richie looking a whole lot like an imitation Lady Gaga. Didn't Nicole have her own cute, boho thingy going on? Couldn't she just have stuck with that? I mean, it was a photoshoot for BlackBook magazine, but if I were Nicole, I would have said something and stuck up for my own fabulous style. Why use someone else's? Don't get me wrong- even I like to dress like Lady Gaga sometimes. I love trying other people's styles out. But for a national magazine, I would want to show my own style that I made famous.





Anyways, wish me luck on my presentation tomorrow. I promise to post more because Spring Break is next week!

Mabye I Should Wear This To Prom....

Prom is on it's way here! I have a lot to plan... it's my senior prom. We are having prom at the Paradise Pier hotel by Disneyland and I've heard from many people in ASB that the theme will be something "under the sea"-ish. While most people cringe and vomit, I make the best of it and decide to make a fashion statement.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring '08 Couture is my inspiration. Take a look:
