My Dream Destinations

I recently finished off the school year and one of my favorite courses was World Geography. It wasn't really because of the absolute or relative location of the countries, although that is totally helpful, it was more for the beauty of the places that I got to study. I have always wanted to jet off to Europe because my mom inspired me with her college backpacking stories. Even more than that was the description of each place that she went to. Going to London and Paris were obvious givens but I would have never thought to visit certain places had it not been learned in class. I now want to visit the beautiful tulip fields of the Netherlands, Balmoral castle in Scotland, haggis is not part of my wish here. I am prone to adventure, but I'm no Andrew Zimmern. If I think about what it really is, I don't think that I'll go that bizzare with foods.I want to marvel at the wonder of these places and immerse myself in the ways of the world. I am most likely to go to Spain and Germany one day as well, these being some of the top spots on my list. Greece is the top! I want to...... let's just say.....go everywhere. Life is short. I plan to live it globally, because travelling is always and always will be......quite frankly, in fashion.
Here are a few of the many places that I want to visit:

 Buckingham Palace. Prince Harry anyone? Santorini, Greece is beautiful and so are these tulips in Amsterdam.

Fashion in Editorial

Just because I have been off of the radar for almost a year, that doesn't mean that I have stopped reading fashion magazines. Fashion magazines are an addiction for me because after six years of reading them, I haven't tired of them yet. At this point in time, I don't think I ever will. Some of my favorite publications of the industry are of course both American and British Vogue, Teen Vogue, Elle, and NYLON. (one of my all time favorites). What I love in the magazine world right now is the June 2011 issue of Vogue. Why do I love it? Well:
1. The cover is beautiful.
2. The fashion layouts have made it clear that summer is finally here.
3. The photographs inside are amazing, (they always are).
4. Grace Coddington, renowned fashion editor showcases her amazing talent yet again. She is an inspiration to me due to her ability to capture a moment beautifully everytime, no matter what the theme of the shoot, her creativity is always new, interesting, abstract, and utterly fantastic.
5. Reading the articles only makes me want to go on vacation more.
I love Vogue because it is always classy. Best of all, it is always in fashion. Best $3.99 I ever spent.

Here we go AGAIN!!!

So, I know haven't exactly been the model blogger. I mean, I haven't actually blogged on a regular basis. With all of the school work and my busy schedule, I have had no time to write about what I love. Fashion. In the time since I last posted, I have added several new vintage pieces to my closet. Best of all, I redid my closet! This makes my job so much easier in the morning by enabling me to see ALL of my clothes at one time. Anyway, now that it is my first official day of summer, I plan to and plan to keep this plan of planning stay faithful to all who follow and to meet the expectations of a normal blogger. I aim to go beyond this time around, by keeping everyone posted frequently. With that, let this be my first official post of my new, improved, I guess, first OFFICIAL and up to date blog.

Even Halloween is a Fashion Opportunity!

The Bride

My Mom made this Fashionable Bride costume. She bought a vintage old wedding dress, soaked it in black dye so it would get that "old" look. She quickly rinsed it so it would not totally dye all the way. I worked at a haunted house for charity and we stained it with fake blood...I also found an old wig at the thrift shop. My total costume was like $8.00.
