Fashionable Gift Giving Ideas

I am back.  Well, technically I never left I just have been incredibly busy.  A quick update about me, I love my new job and have been working a bunch.  I am so excited for the quickly approaching holiday season and need to begin my Christmas shopping.  We keep it simple which is always nice, as long as we get to share it together we are happy!  Here are some fun PRACTICAL gift ideas for you loved ones.  Yes, it is before Thanksgiving time but I am excited, so darn it enjoy this post.

-Scarves

-Simple, yet if you live in a cold climate it is very practical.  You can also pick a scarf out that coincides with their personality or style, making the gift more personal.  

-Slippers

-You can always use good slippers for those fun days of lounging around the house.

-Fun Jewelry, if you know the persons style.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2012

     Unlike most fashion blogs, which are already following spring 2013 resort wear; I am still absorbing every look that walked down the runway for this fall.  I like to follow fall trends now so I can shop for the trends.  Of course, I always keep up to date on the spring resort lines which are coming out now.  For fall Alexander Mcqueen's line had to be one of my favorites.  I love how it is ultra girly with all the feathers, yet the structure and glasses give it the modern flair.  This trend is one of my favorites this season.  I was planning as usual to only post a few pictures but instead here are a ton from my favorite site ever style.com.  May I just say, Sarah Burton you are freaking fantastic!

Fur Coats and Rodarte Starbucks Card

Hello everyone!  I am getting ready for a wedding which I am attending this weekend.  I am very excited and cannot wait to see family and dance my bum off.  Other than that, I am still enjoying my new job and sewing a bit when I get a chance.  In fashion news, I was browsing and found a shopping horoscope on luckymagazine.com.  Mine was completely true to me; it said to buy leather or fur coats either real or fake.  I love fake fur, it is always warm and of course friendly to those little critters that many people love.  I also found that Rodarte is designing a Starbucks card.  Seriously, how cool of a fashion designer can you be Rodarte?  Those girls are amazing.

-I love Fashion!

Weekly Fashion Update

Oh style.com, I love you so!  I get so obsessed with looking at pictures by Tommy Ton and the gorgeous lines.  If you need a quick update of what you may have missed this week in the fashion world, here is some things to catch you up.

1.  Alexa Chung is writing a book, which is set to debut in September 2013.

2.  Karl Lagerfeld created a hula-hoop purse.  Why, you ask?  Because he can!

3.  Tommy Ton took more amazing pictures of the amazing people and the way they dress at fashion week.

 -I love this wool skirt.  I love how perfectly it lays.

 -Yeah, that is right she is wearing a sweatshirts and lace skirt, why?  Because it is fashion week and she can!

Classic Gwen and what I have been up to...

     If you have not noticed by the lack of recent post, I have gotten a second job.  This has filled quite a bit of my time.  It is in fashion retail and absolutely amazing.  I am happy to finally have a job that is in my field of business.  I have not forgotten about my blog rather, I have some fun posts that I am working on.  So stay tuned...
     Other than that, enjoy some classic Gwen.  She can really do not wrong.  I love her classic trench with a modern twist.  She is always able to perfectly combine a vintage modern flair to her outfits.  Vintage by the hairstyle, lips, and doc martens, and modern by the trench and pants.

Jeremy Scott and New Era

     We all know how much I love how eclectic or even eccentric Jeremy Scott can be.  I find such inspiration and admiration for his designs and his wonderful mind which helps him to create these one of a kind pieces.  I am also a big fan of all of his collaborations with other designers, especially Nike.  Now he has created amazing one of a kind hats or actually they are called snapbacks.  I was unaware of this terminology.  I usually here those people who use the word "bro" or "brah" in regular conversation refer to the hats as "lids."  I however, am not a bro and refer to them as hats or now snapbacks.  Back to the point I was trying to make... Jeremy Scott has paired up with New Era to take a new approach to the snapback.  Instead of placing a sports team or making it sports colors, they include a snapback with a black shiny vinyl croc print, one with an ostrich skin finish, snake print, tassels, and a one representing a dollar bill.  What an odd mix, I love it!  Of course, the only down side is this line is meant for men, but hey I can still wear one....right?

For sure, they are some tubular lids brah.  I should never type that sentence again. 

Wildfox Fall 2012 Fashion Movie

     Wow, it seems like I just blink and all of a sudden it is five days after my last post.  I have been quite busy recently and will only be getting busier.  I have some new opportunities as I have recently gotten a new job.  I am quite excited because I will be working with fashion.  I am really happy but nervous all at the same time!  Other than getting a new job and keeping myself updated on fashion week, I have enjoyed the Wildfox fall 2012 fashion movie.  It is a bit risque, but still modern and adorable.  You have to love all of their creative oversized t-shirts and under garments.  Nothing beats a good comfortable outfit.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 60's Vintage Vibe

     My goodness, I have not posted in a few days.  I have been catching up on things and well honestly, working my butt off at my job.  I have also been sketching out a bunch of ideas for projects and a collection that I have wanted to create.  It is only in the earliest of all creation and design stages possible.  It seems I have so many ideas this week.  I have carried my sketchbook and little notebook around with me all week.  I think the inspiration of fashion week has traveled down the east coast to my mind.  What line is you favorite from fashion week this far?  I can never pick a favorite, but Marc Jacobs line is absolutely amazing and simple.  For Marc Jacobs I always expect something a little quirky, which I quite honestly love about him.  This line is incredibly simple in the cuts of the garments, yet the stripes in them are cut in a way to give several of them dimension and extra visual movement.  I love the very strong 60's vibe to the whole line.  Anything with a vintage flair catches my eye.  I like how though the line has vintage inspiration, it is still current and modern.  Of course, these pictures are from style.com, the main website I stay on to drool over pictures during fashion week.

-Check all of those bold brows.

 -This dress below is my favorite!
