FIFTEEN

Does anyone else hate how bulky and uncomfortable their bulletproof vests are? They are completely unflattering and totally cramp my style. Lucky for me, urban body armor brand, Anxo, has created a new line of bulletproof clothing!
Comfortable, lightweight, stylish. Ahhh finally, I know everyone else has been demanding a better design for everyday body armor.

I often find myself remembering how I first got into this whole fashion thing...it was many years ago and it is actually a really stupid story. You see, I loved Saved by the Bell, f-ing LOVED it. This is where I harbored my love for Lisa Turtle, the fashionable gossipy one, who after graduating from Bayside High, went on to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Get out of town! I go there toooooo.
Besides Lisa Turtle, I loved Andie Walsh. Ya'll know whoooo. Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink! She and I not only shared a love of being fashionable and crafty, but also our names (Andie/Andi) and our great love for New Wave music. Also, our boyfriends had similar names..Blane..Blaise..same thing!
I remember the epic scene when she was making that pink prom dress. The toughest New Order song was blasting, the camera was zoomed in, catching all the seams being ripped, stitches being sewed, pearls and beads being attached. Molly Ringwald was the shiiiiit.
The other great thing about this movie? Duckie was THE greatest. I wish he was my friend.

I love menswear, I really do. I love when a dude knows what the f he's doing when he steps into his damn closet. It's so rare though, especially now, when HIPSTER has become such an easy outlet for men(and chicks but who gives a shit about them) to look fucking grimy. I hate those little mustaches, i hate dirty dirty skinny pants, i hate dudes in those stupid hats, and I hate when a dude is wearing something completely fucking ridiculous, like this guy from H&M's Spring Style Guide:
I know, I highly doubt that this guy in particular dressed himself in that outfit, but I still despise it so much that it makes me hate him...I have my eye on you, buddy...

Now these guys know that they look good. They look cool, they look confident, they look CLEAN.



















Michael Bastian, thank you.
Since I'm on the topic of menswear, I can't go without mentioning my fav designer, Thom Browne. He is basically a god and forerunner in the whole menswear industry. His suits cost upwards of $5,000 and are rarely EVER confused with any other designer suit (unlike all those Armani's and shit that look all the SAME) for their distinctive style and fit. The signature look of a Thom Browne suit is flat front pants that have ankles exposed and no belt loops. Wearing a Thom Browne suit is effortless and classic.
Ahhh the beauty of Thom Browne suits..drink.it.in. Thom Browne is seated, surrounded by his beautiful friends.
Thom Browne..you are so beuatiful, and you design beautifully tailored suits. It really really makes me wonder WHERE IN THE HELL DID THIS COME FROM!!!!!!!!!:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That was Fall '08...I'm really hoping he has turned a new leaf.

H&M..I love you, you are the reason of my recent credit crisis, I love you
and now...
YOU HAVE THE GREATEST NEW LINE HITTING STORES MAY 1 WHHHHY :(
Matthew Williamson for H&M; he's KILLING IT.
The 80's style that has been raping and pillaging the fashion scene is still a dominant figure.
I ALMOST thought the lifespan of waist-belts was through, alllmost. Love the silhouette of this dress, it's so dreamy..uggh I feel like a pre teen pining for the Jonas Brothers.
I am a huge fan of the slick style of a blazer paired with a tee and stove pipes. It's so menswear. It's especially glorious when you're a hottie, it's such an oxymoron. Anyway, I really enjoy that these pants have a center front pleat..makes me laugh.

Seriously, look at this fucking dress! It's soooo great, long overdue, too. H&M has been thoroughly disappointing lately. The only thing is the print on this dress is not summery at all...oh well, it's a mad short hooch dress I love it.
Ahhh the maxi dress, a roleover from last summer season. I, unfortunately, cannot indulge in this dress length because I look real reaaal stubby. I love how nice the mannequins butt looks in this dress. I would feel really comfortable with an online purchase; knowing confidently that my ass with be hugged all day by this SILK DRESS WITH NO STRETCH.

H&M, IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU STEPPED IT UP.
I almost started losing faith in you, allllmost.

Is it weird that I enjoy scouring the inter webs and magazines, creating outfits by copying + pasteing or cutting out and taping together different pictures of garments/accessories? WELL I ENJOY IT.
The white button down blouse(Topshop) is in honor of the store's US opening in Soho today (after a horrible, horrible months long delay). Leggings by Angie Johnson are crazy cool burn out velvet. Nude wedges by Nine West are a perfect compliment to the blue and white garments, while the black and gold studded belt (Streets Ahead) brings a little edginess to this otherwise soft and feminine ensemble.
