M.I.A

I know, I know. I have been MIA for quite some time now. Due to the intensity of school and working pretty much Mon-Sun, I haven’t had time to blog! I’m sorrry.

(FYI: I totally just bombed an Econ exam soooo, I better start looking for a job that doesn’t require my stupid ass to count money! ARGHGHGHGHGHHHH)

WAH WAHHH.

 

Anyways, congrats to Sophie Theallet from NY. She won the coveted CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award, snagged $200,000 and is most likely on her way to starting a bigger line. GO BROOKLYN GO BROOKLYN! She can thank Mrs. Obama wearing some of her pieces for that! Past CFDA winners include Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang and Doo.Ri. We all know she's going to go far far far with that win. [JEALOUS]

Model Mom

Model Jourdan Dunn was recently featured on Teen Vogue with fellow colleague Chanel Iman. What you couldn’t see is that 19-year-old Jourdan is pregnant and due in December of this year. Why the uproar? I have no idea. I watched as Jamie Lynn Spears sold her pregnancy story to every magazine that would buy an interview off of her. I also watched the entire 1st and 2nd season of “Secret Life of an American Teenager” and MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” which both seemed to normalize teen pregnancies. So what is the big deal here? She is a teen, but she is also over the age of 18 and she makes her own money. Why can’t she keep her child?

You all know what I am going to say. Double standard. It is because she is black? Is is because she is so young? I don’t know anymore why people feel the need to knock her down. In my opinion, I applaud you Jourdan for keeping your child and being strong about this whole thing. From me to you – CONGRATS!

Damn Econ…

again. GDP? what?

WHAT?

Tonight I had a plan. My plan was to sit down with myself and study for this bloody exam. I obviously did not do that. Instead I watched Intervention and Nancy Grace. Now it is 3am and I, my, friends am going to fail.

SIGH. Econ, you keep trying to take my soul from me! I have all my notes, etc. I’m just a big fat baby when it comes to test taking. FUGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

 

In other news, ShopStyle once again has got me going! My new club goal (when I finally find the time to go clubbing…)

 

 
Chloe Sequined Mini $395

AKA Sequined Mini $238

 

Thakoon Mirror Disco Mini $1550

 

Toooo thrilling for me. ACK! If you think you can go wrong with one of these, you just cannot!
I mean, sequined mini, cutout tank, thigh highs or a platform bootie. Its a go go! Ridic. REALLY.

Rewind.

I was looking through the 2009 Emmy Red Carpet photos, while pretending to write notes in Macro Economics when I stumbled upon a very young, very 1998 reminiscent JT (Justin Timberlake to all you non-fans). He somehow went all clean shaven and rubbed back those yummy curls and BOOM. Boyband-esque all over again. ErRRRrr. Almost made me jump back a bit.

My 100th Post & 1 yr anniversary.

As I sit here watching the Rachel Zoe Project, I’m internally falling apart. She’s selling some of her most prized jewelry pieces and having the money be donated to the Cancer Association. This is going to sound strange but, I’m jealous. She gets to use her job, something that she loves, to give back to the community. I can only hope to reach that type of success. I mean, I could cry right now as I sit in my little studio apartment with my kitten (appropriately named Chanel), staring at my walls which are adorned with snapshots of Paris. SOMEDAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER PARIS! Je t’aime.

UGH. My heart is breaking. Will I ever see the light at the end of proverbial tunnel? What happens after I graduate? Where do I go from there? What’s my destiny? Ugh. Where’s my wine??

Wow, I just realized it’s been a year since I started this blog. WHOA WHOA. Happy Bday Fashion For Love!!

Anyways, can you BELIEVE I barely watched or wrote about New York Fashion Week? And I live 20 minutes away! I know Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs SHUT IT DOWN. I’ve just been exhausting myself with school and not one, but two jobs – I mean I can’t even see straight. I CAN DO IT! GO ME!

My new weekend job is at a FAB consignment boutique. Just wait till I show you some of the beautiful pieces I’m going to purchase there. Prada anyone? Maybe a little YSL? YES MA’AM. Its INSANE. I love my new job.

MB Fashion Week – Color on the Runway

Last year, I was very disappointed with the designers of MB Fashion Week. The all African-American issue of Vogue had just been released in the UK and we were on our way to having out first US Black president. But for some reason, I didn’t see very many black girls on the runway (besides the usual beauties Chanel Iman and Jordan Dunn). It was a tad bit upsetting.

Something shifted. This year, I saw more black faces, beautiful black faces! I’m all giddy inside. FINALLY. Jeez.

Meet Georgie Baddiel – she has a striking face and amazing camera work. I’m dyinnnng. I love her face!
