Tom Ford For Prez tee

I finally found the only tee shirt I would ever wear...Romeo+Saint are the designers behind the tee that got everyone wondering how to get thier hands on one after watching Blaine from Project Runway wear it. Blaine, who co-designed the fabulous creation was one of my favorites before getting booted off :( I literally looked every where for the tee until somehow I came across it...check out thier site http://www.romeoandsaint.com/ to buy one. P.S. how hot is Tom Ford?!

Super cool opportunity

I LANDED AN INTERVIEW WITH CosmoGirl in NYC!!....How amazing is that?
For a very long time now I have been searching for internships, here and there. I have done my research and have emailed top magazines and even local ones from DC but nothing, no "thanks for applying but we're no longer in need of interns," nor "we received your resume and we'll contact you if you meet our needs" :(

I check my email daily, and its the first thing I do every morning, sometimes up to 5 times a day! So the other day I check my inbox to find a REPLY back from CosmoGirl and that was enough for me to die! I don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm beyond excited for an opportunity to even meet with them and have the chance to be considered for a fashion intern position :)....I'll be saying a prayer every single night until I leave to New York and hopefully I'll intern soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh*... dreams come true, slowly but eventually!

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK IS HERE!

Ok--so while I'm not in the industry I'll probably never sit front row, but I love following what happens at the shows and being informed on Spring 2009 trends. New York Fashion Week is the Superbowl of fashion in the states along with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in L.A. which happens in October....which by the way my fabulous friend and I want to volunteer for although it might be too late...but there's always early next year in February.


So far Diane von Furstenburg's collection is to die for. Ok, here's the schedule:

Getting into the tents for the shows is by invite only which sucks because all I can do for the moment is go online and see what's going on :(....ahhh, one day!

Fabulous Fall Must Haves

I was away on a mini vacay and just came back... while laying out getting a gorgeous tan I was thinking about how I couldn't wait for the weather to cool down a bit and have September roll around again. Although I like summer I must say that my favorite season is fall. I love the colors-- the reds, oranges, yellows and browns that are everywhere but most of all it's because of the clothes! From boots to sweaters to jackets and everything in between.

Plaid is in and tweed is back--these Badgley Mischka plaid trousers from the 2008 Fall line are super cute paired with a tight top to balance the loose fit....take it from me and you'll look great. I'm super excited about tweed being in this season...I love how a pair of thick tweed pants
can look with a turtle neck and a long black and white tweed trench can look with skinny jeans. Ahh, super pretty!

Less is more--Clean cut designs to architectural tailoring are setting the trend. Everyone from Doo. Ri to Yves Saint Laurent are showcasing the idea that the minimal design can speak loud and be ultra chic.

Nothing makes me feel more sexy and confident then a wearing a form fitting trench with a high collar and a pair of killer heels and this season expect to see the "superhero" look, which includes pieces like tough leather jackets like this Haider Ackermann and futuristic looking trends.

Things to remember for Fall '08:

1. Warm neutral colors (greys, browns, purples, beige etc.)

2.Skinny jeans

3. You must have tights!...I think I'll go shopping for some myself. Go for black, grey, burgundy and if you're daring enough try a yellowish-mustard color ( paired with a black sweater dress and flats--trust me, its super cute

4. Leggings....I'm not a fan of them unless I wear my flat knee-high suede boots with a long, lean top.

5.Scarves

6.Ankle boots

7.Jackets,trenches and sweaters for those super chilly days...check out Express plaid motorcycle jackets.

8.Dresses....who says you can't wear them in the fall?....Sweater dresses that is as long as they're thick enough to keep you warm, oh and turtle neck dresses too! You gotta love fall!!!!!!

9.Ripped up jeans...yes, they're in!

10.Vests
