Chanel Resort 2013

I was browsing style.com and clicked to view the Chanel Resort 2013 line.  I was expecting the usual class and elegance that comes with the Chanel line; that is exactly what I go,t only this time with a bit of hip-hop style incorporated.  This has to be one of my favorite Chanel lines.  If someone told me a line exists that incorporates victorian style into a modern hip-hop style, I would probably laugh and expect to see the worst collection ever.  Instead, Karl Lagerfeld has created an incredibly innovative collection which I believe will be spoken about for years to come.  I love his play with proportion in the waist, resembling the large underskirts which were popularized in 1775.  This line incorporates both classic and signature items of the Chanel line with new twists.  It is absolutely amazing and truly a sensational line!

Here are my favorites.

-I must say the styling is so beautiful.  I love the hair and make-up.

 -He can come water plants at my house anytime.

 -Karl Lagerfeld- the genius behind this gorgeous line!

Lady Gaga in Versace

She is absolutely amazing and I love this look on her.  Yes, it is a little extreme, but that is what Lady Gaga does best.  I love the fit, the color and the styling; it is all quite amazing!!

For tomorrow's post.... Is everyone as obsessed with the Chanel Resort 2013 line as I am?

Bethany Cosentino for Urban Renewal Now Available!

I thought I would give you all an update that Bethany's line is officially available at www.urbanoutfitters.com.  Here is also a fun little video about her inspiration.

Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana

This dress and picture are both perfection!  She just looks so classy and beautiful.  Her make-up and dress are all by Dolce & Gabbana.

Hot Pink Vintage Styled Dress: Made/ Designed by Me

I figured there is no better time for a big reveal than now.  Here is my final project for my draping class.  While there are several things I would have done differently and there are little things that need to be tweaked, I actually like how the dress turned out.  Personally, I think the dress looks fine without the added roping detail at the bottom, but I had to add some sort of design to the skirt because it was required.  I got a pretty good grade and had a successful presentation, so I am happy.  Please let me know what you think.  I love the good and bad comments (believe me I can take it)!

** Note that my dress-form is not the same size as what I fitted the dress for, so that is why it is a little bit off.**

In Process...

-I started hand sewing all of the rope onto the skirt and snapped a needle with my bare hands. I guess I do not know my own strength.

-A little thumbs-up for my personal encouragement.

-The underskirt; I was happy with how it turned out.  I wore it around the house for most of the day, just for fun.

-Before the rope...

-Finished...

Bethany Cosentino from Best Coast

Many of you know how much I listen to music and how much I love music.  I have been a big fan of Best Coast for a while with their lo-fi sound that I just love.  Bethany Cosentino (lead singer) creates the best and funniest lyrics because she seems to sing exactly what is on her mind.  She is also quite the thrifting fashionista.  She has a line coming out soon for Urban Renewal which is the recycled vintage line for Urban Outfitters.  I cannot wait to see what she comes up with.  Best Coast also has a new album which should be released on May 15th, I am so excited! You can stream their new album at http://www.npr.org/.

Shoes from Mod-cloth and Urban Outfitters

Yes, I do always post about shoes.  This is exactly how I want to start my summer though; by posting about fantastic shoes.  The Mod-cloth shoes are adorable and very vintage looking.  I have recently been obsessed with the 1950s and these are not helping me to be any less obsessed.  The Urban Outfitters shoes are very funky and modern which I also love.  I can never pick a favorite style of clothing because it changes everyday!  Enjoy!

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!!! JEFFREY CAMPBELL!!

Chloe Moretz in Dolce & Gabbana

I absolutely love Chloe's style.  She is just so adorable.  I only have a short post today.  I am officially coming back to blogging more.  I still have a pretty busy schedule, but it is my summer break and I must blog; I miss it so much.

Urban Outfitters Summer Video/ What I have been up to.

     It is almost summer break.  This Friday is my last day of school.  I have a major presentation that day of my final dress for my draping class.  I am currently attempting to finish it and make it look as perfect as I possibly can.  I will have to post it when I am done.  I feel like I have so many pictures that I need to post and I will very soon.  I wanted to say I will be back to posting everyday again beginning after Friday!  I miss constantly blogging, but I have just been so incredibly busy with school stuff.  I cannot wait for a break!

     Here is a link to the Urban Outfitters video for this summer.  My little catalog just came in the mail and I cannot wait to look at it.  vimeo.com
