Does anyone even read this at all? I don't know. Maybe I should get a little more serious about taking pictures of my outfits every day. Sadly, I don't have a ridiculous designer collection (a la Jane Aldrige), nor am I 13. Oh well.

Top: Zara (was a dress, but it looked crazy, so I cut it into a top. I messed it up, but it turned out pretty cool anyways.

Skirt: French Connection

Shoes, clogs: Jeffrey Campbell

Deb Ball!

Last night my family and I attended my friend Kathryn's Debutante Ball. The ball was at the Houston Country Club and there were about twenty girls who were in it. All the debutante's wore wedding dresses. I felt that some were a bit cheesy, but Kathryn's was so beautiful. The dress code was black tie, so I got to wear a gown, yay! I wore a navy BCBG gown and a French Connection necklace. I feel like the dress really accentuated my curvy figure, which I liked. I felt so pretty and glamourous! I haven't worn a long gown since high school, and it was nice to dress up again. I'm not quite sure who made my sister's dress. Here are some pictures.

Me with my friend Margaret. You can sort of get a better look at the necklace.

Look What I Made Today!

It's the trend board I made for work. These are the trends that French Connection is following. It looks pretty good, if I do say so myself!

Fall Essential: The Jacket.

Fall is upon us. Actually, it's probably started for some of you, which makes me super jealous. It's still in the 90s here in Houston. But, I digress . . . The essential piece in any girls fall wardrobe is the jacket. My two favorite jacket's are the boyfriend blazer and the biker jacket. Here are some options I've been salivating over:

Blazer

Alexander McQueen, $1,960, Net-a-Porter

French Connection, $148, frenchconnection.com

I own this FC blazer and I'm OBSESSED. At first I thought it was a little long and was worried it would look weird if I wore it with jeans. But, I don't really wear jeans and it looked so great over the skirts and dresses. I couldn't resist. I've already worn it out several times. So great.

Biker Jacket

Rick Owens, $2,695, Net-a-Porter

Levi's, $298, Urban Outfitters

I just ordered this Levi's jacket online, and I'm super excited for it to arrive. It's the perfect, classic biker jacket, complete with zippers and all. I'll let you guys know how it works out!

Love Luella?

French Connection, $178

 It's not real thing, but it's pretty close.

Oh, and by the Way . . .

Gossip Girl Hearts French Connection.

So I work at French Connection.  Imagine my surprise while watching this week's Gossip Girl that like 8 characters are wearing our clothes.  Nelly Yuki wore this coat:

Iz wore this sweater, which I once loved but now hate because it made me look like a linebacker, in punch red:

It's pretty cool to see clothes you work with every day on TV, no?
