My new shirt on nylonmag.com

As I signed onto my Myspace and looked at my bulletins, I saw the topic "A CHANEL SHIRT AT URBAN OUTFITTERS!?" Of course, I had to click on it, but I should have known: it was the shirt I bought last Saturday!

So, I have been wanting this shirt for months. I went on the Urban Outfitters website nearly everyday to see if the shirt was still there or if it was on sale. Then, when it went on sale, it was right before my shopping trip down to Urban Outfitters. When I was there, I was expecting find it for only $19.99, like on the site. But, since no one in my town has any idea who Karl Lagerfeld is, it was on sale for only $9.99!!! I screamed and bought it immediately.

I am super excited now that the shirt has been on nylonmag.com. It's possibly my current favorite shirt. And yes, it probably has something to do with my love for Karl.

If you want to read the article, click here to read it. It's actually very well done. The writer mentions, "Though you might have to explain your shirt to half the girls who wear Chanel sunglasses, it's worth it." Welcome to my school everyone.
(Also, that comment on there that sounds oddly similar to my blog? That's me)

My Obsessions/Awful Athletics/Green Rings

This is my Polyvore of my obsessions. I noticed I'm quite a bit dreary with my clothing. (I only do have grey, black, navy, and many other dark colors in my wardrobe) It's just me and what I look good in. And I don't necessarily own all of this. I do own a few, but some are definitely out of my price range (such as the Burberry Prorsum dress).

And I did find my prized posession on there: My Marc Jacobs guitar watch necklace. I found it at an outlet mall up north for only $40. Now, that's what I call smart shopping.

Now, I'm in the summer gym cirriculum because I signed up for an extra class (newspaper). In return, I'm stuck in this hell that has pretty much doomed all the muscles in my legs for life. (Or it at least feels like it.) And I end up looking horrible for the rest of the day. Isn't that great!

Last weekend, I went shopping with my friend at this cool place downtown, and I bought this ring at Forever 21 that I call my "wedding ring." (It represents my love for Sam Barnett, to your right. Okay, it was mostly a teenage joke, but you, hopefully, get the point...) I wore it yesterday when I went with a bunch of my friends to see Wall-E, which is a great movie by the way. And I came home, and I took it off for a second. I realized I had a green ring around my finger!

I was shocked. My "wedding ring" is rebelling against me! It was cheap, I know ($4.80), and I should have known from reading a Truman Capote (it described the Green Ring thing). But, gosh, should it be appropriate for stores like Forever 21 to sell things like that? I mean, no one wants to go around with a green ring on their finger.

That's all for now. Thanks for all the feedback from my last post! Much appreciated :)

Just Me/Final Couture Report

So, even though I wrote a whole entry, I never did give the fair chance to all bloggers on here to actually know who I am. (Well, one I've known for a while, but still.)

Call me whatever you wish. I am a 15 year old from a crappy town that is no where near anything, so it's not worth mentioning. I'm a bit of an eccentric, I guess. I like to wear stuff that is probably normal for the city (as in NYC), but not here. I'm slightly rocker chic with a mix of my own personality. And some inspiration from the twenties as well.

And I happen to be obsessed with music, movies, and anything British.

I would show a pic and say, "Hey! It's me," but really, I prefer film to digital. Therefore, no photos until I figure out how work this scanner.

So, couture was, well, interesting this year. (I know I already discussed Chanel and Dior below, but I really have nothing else to talk about.) Last season was definitely better, and I hope next season will make up for the disappointment that occured here.


Let's just say it: Chanel sucked. Personally, for Lagerfeld to take inspiration from Anna Wintour (oh dear Lord) just makes the collection worse. Oh, by the way, if you didn't know, I have an undying hate for Anna Wintour. I believe she doesn't even deserve her position at Vogue (read a biography, for Christ's sake), and I think she's just full of shit.


I think Lacroix was great. The detailing with the lace really set it off the charts. All the patterns together created a nicely dreadful (in a good way) feel. I wish I could afford a piece from him, but it would either be college or Lacroix. That's actually an extremely difficult choice.


And Valentino...ummm...well, I got to give Alessandra some slack as the new Valentino designer and this being her first Couture collection. But really, it could have been way better. The drapping was like sheets of stiff paper being folded and glued. And spray painted for a "fabric feel." And nothing, I repeat, NOTHING reminded me of the ingenious Valentino we once knew. She's just taking the house of Valentino and making it the house of Facchinetti, which is what no one wants. I know this sounds terrible, but her dresses reminded me of the piece Vincent made in Project Runway season 3 for the couture challenge. I don't know; it was very reminiscent.


Jean Paul Gaultier was okay. When I first viewed it, I thought it was last seasons collection because something about it reminded me of something he did a while ago. All the shapes, colors, etc....all seemed the same to me. There was no sparkle. But, I did think the hair and make-up was very cool. The fringe with the neon underlay was awesome, and the coinciding orange-red lip color made it even more excellent.

That's all from me. I've had a hell-ish day so far. I'm signing off...

Chanel and Dior: Couture F/W 2008-2009

So, Couture is here. I mean, I can't afford any of the gorgeous dresses that walk down the runway. I wish I could, but still, I'll take it as an inspiration.

Well, only Chanel and Dior interest me at the moment, and there's probably more on the way that will inspire me; I just don't feel like thinking about them. My tiredness is catching up with me.

So, Chanel was kind of interesting. Karl, of course, went back to the tweed, and I've begun to hate it more and more. I do love the fact that he chose a different shape with a bit of the tweed.



One thing that bothered me about Chanel was the wired frames surrounding the faces of several of the models. There was only about four, but it was random and unnecessary. It just brought me back to the mindset of Gareth Pugh, who put a large cube around his model's head.



Dior was actually quite nice and very suprising! Galliano is so talented...I loved the shoes! I've been in a t-strap phase since I participated in the school musical (I wore these adorable t-straps. They were great). And the ankle boots were cool as well. If I had the money, I would buy out the entire Dior shoe collection. Although I love the collection, I'm not too daring to wear see-through skirts though.
