Gossip is bad.

That is what I've learned this weekend.

But tonight, gossip is good. Yes, you fellow headband-wearing folks know what I'm talking about. After a long, long summer, it has returned.

haha yes. I am obsessed.

Argh. Sometimes I really don't understand people.

This is my little bit of rambling I did last night in my sketchbook/journal thing. Just stuff going on with friends and even people I don't care for that just makes me so angry and sad too. So many people right now are throwing their lives away to "live in the moment," and "living in the moment" is fun and all, yeah, but only for that moment, really. But sometimes people have got to think about more than just that moment. I mean, I don't care if it's just some harmless fun, but the people I'm thinking about aren't doing harmless things. They are actually screwing up their lives.

And here's the part where you sigh and say "thank god I'm done with high school"

Oh, how I can't wait 'til I can say that.

Anyway. The real point of this is that I really enjoyed just venting on this little pad of paper and getting to do whatever I want on it. I've always been pretty bad about journaling. I always feel so confined within those little lines, so pressured to write profound things. But sometimes I draw better than I convey messages in my writing, so I like the idea of using a sketchbook to keep both designs and sketches and journal entries. It gives me more freedom.

And this blog is kind of like a journal too, but mostly a fashion-based one, which is really nice because it gives me a place to talk about what I love with other people that really love it too, not just my friends who really couldn't give a crap about how the Proenza Schouler collection is genius and blah blah blah. Sometimes though I like talking about other things, outside of fashion, and it feels good sometimes to actually pick up a Sharpie and just get my frustration out on paper. Besides, the noise a Sharpie makes when you scribble furiously is just so satisfying. It's like those stress tomato things that teachers always have on their desks.

Okay. That's enough ranting for today. ;)

autumn dreams

  1. Topshop fur collar car coat
  2.  Chloe leather lace-up boots
  3. Stella McCartney Guipure-lace blouse
  4. Missoni Sciarpa wool-blend scarf
  5. Jason Wu dot-print pleated silk skirt 
  6. Tory Burch Dena messenger leather bag
  7. Miu Miu metal-flower embellished wool-crepe dress
  8. Current/Elliott The Patch corduroy blazer
  9. Lanvin patent-leather ballerina flats

I guess it's just that autumn feeling, but I'm really into these darker, more rustic tones right now, with cool details and a bit of punch here and there. But oh, if I could only have that Miu Miu dress. I would wear it for the rest of my life and be completely happy.

I believe the first post that I did was all about my love of Blair Waldorf's fashion, and how I was nervous about where her style was heading for Season Four, because I must say Season Three left much to be desired. But, alas, from these pictures of the first two episodes of Gossip Girl (filmed in Paris, so you know it's gonna be over-the-top), it seems like the Queen B is finally back. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think!

this week's purchases

| comments

What I bought on my (semi-) successful shopping trip this weekend:

two tops from Anthropologie, both super duper cute!

Paige ultra-skinny black jeans. definitely my new go-to jeans. They're a perfect color, super comfy, and unbelievably flattering. 

Also these shoes I picked up on sale at Anthro. Which is funny because at least at my local Anthro, they never have regular shoes, just shoes on sale...it's weird. But I love these shoes.

Plus-
The Tara Jarmons dress I got in Paris. Isn't it just adorable!?

So I went shopping yesterday. Wasn't as successful as I had wanted it to be, but I did get a few good things, and also saw some things that I might have to ponder over for a while.

One of these things is bags. I really want a new bag for school -let's face it, the Jansport backpack is just kind of cramping my style- but I feel like all these bags are too small because my teachers are all like 'we want you to have a different binder and notebook for each class and we will give you all Fs if you don't do as we say!!!!' and it's really annoying because it's like, We're upperclassmen now, why can't you trust us to organize by ourselves!!!!

And so, the hunt for the perfect bag begins.

I did manage to find two bags that I actually really like, but there are drawbacks to both of them.


Contestant Number One- Fossil 'Vintage Reissue Lock' Leather Crossbody Satchel

 the pros- nice shape, love the details and the colors (also in darker brown and black, all of which I like) and it comes with both a shoulder strap and a handle
the cons- It may be too small, which could be a problem


Contestant Number Two- J. Crew leather top-handle tote


the pros- classic shape, very simple but also super chic, definitely big enough, also love the color
the cons- I like the messenger look for a school bag because I like that cross-shoulder strap. I guess this is long enough though to be carried on the shoulder


Right now I'm leaning more toward the J. Crew guy, but I really just don't know!!!
