Couture!

So I know I've been gone for a long time now. Hey, the life of an intern / gal-about-town is super busy! But, I'm back! I figured there was no better time to resume by devotion to fashion blogging than Couture Week! Let's begin with Dior, shall we?

I'm loving the whole 40's Parisian boudoir thing that this collection has going on, and the model's oh-so-couture poses. This collection makes me want to:

a) marry some unbearably rich guy who can afford all this, and wear it around like it were sweatpants

b) buy tons of lingere and wear it as clothes.

The chances of either of these things happening are slim (actually, option B is totally probable), but a girl can dream.

The Gap Collaborates

Remember when I posted about Alexander Wang and Vena Cava doing khaki pieces for Gap? Well those pieces debut in a few short weeks, so I thought I'd give you a sneak peak, courtesy of Nitro:licious.

The Alexander Wang motorcycle jacket is the perfect spring jacket: it's a neutral, and casual with some edge.




I'm also really obsessed with these Vena Cava dresses, especially the one with the zipper. Although, I think the other dress would probably be more flattering on myself.




The ad champagne is so cute. Coco Rocha is one of my favorites and I'm always super happy to see her in anything. Yay!

Phew! Being an intern is crazy work. I mean, I already knew it would be, but still. I get up, go to work, come home, eat, go to bed. Granted, we had a sample sale this week so everything was extra crazy and exhausting. BUT I did swipe a bag that is currently $300 in stores for $20, so that's great news. I have been able to do some of my actual PR duties, and I'm really enjoying it. Mainly I've been getting items from the Fall collection in and out of the closet for magazines to shoot in upcoming issues. If you've never shopped French Connection, you should totally start doing so in the fall. The A/W collection is awesome. Hopefully once things sort of slow down around the office I'll be better about updating this baby. I hope you missed me!

Yay!

I have a new haircut! It's sort of the same, except way more styled and shaped. It's really short in the back and long in the front, and it has exactly the round shape that i wanted. Yay!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for not updating my blog lately, but I've been super busy. The past few weeks have been crazy, with finals and getting ready to move. Yikes. As many of you may know, I'm living in New York for the summer. I'm moving today! Yay! I start my internship at French Connection on Monday. Wish me luck! And don't worry, once I get settled in the updating should become regular again. Love!
