Karmalookbook

Went to the men's lookbook shoot for Karmaloop yesterday. Jasmine got us some free gear to wear in the background! The pants are by an Icelandic streetwear label called Nikita.


tee by Two In The Shirt, pants by Nikita, boots by Alice & Olivia for Payless


I think I'd style these pants with this draped Hussein Chalayan top and a bag by KMRii...

Stay tuned for new lookbook shots!

Gotta get myself into it

Bitches get stitches

Shoes by Jeffrey Campbell

Also found these snake earpieces by Han Cholo x Lovemade on 80spurple.com. I was all about ear cuffs when my mom wouldn't let me pierce my ears, and now I've got my eye on the gunmetal piece.

Got an award from Style Bird! I've got to list 10 facts and tag 10 bloggers, but I'm kind of busy so let's cut that number down to 4.

1. I am obsessed with CSI, CSI: Miami, and CSI: New York.
2. My parents haven't slept in the same room in a decade, and now I am a hopeless romantic.
3. The only video game I am good at is Crash Team Racing.
4. I am good at applying false lashes and making hair extensions.

The blogs I am tagging are: ZEBRA AND MEERKAT, Wifebeater Chic, Iliana's Fashion Empire, and One Look Just Mine!

You've got to push all that doubt to the side of your mouth

Sneak peek of Rodarte for Target on Nitrolicious! %$*&*@!!! so excited.

Just a news update:
1. Hung out in Allston with people I haven't seen in a long time and twisted my ankle
2. Went to Maine for the weekend and saw Matt & Kim, April Smith, and my new girl crush Ida Maria
3. Went sailing with David and Justin and some bottles
4. Broke up with Justin and turned into a drunk mess
6. Called in sick because now I am hungover and have decided to move back in with my parents for a semester.

Sorry no outfit photos! I'll be back to normal soon. I kind of indulged in some retail therapy, you'll see ;]

The Sartorialist book is out today!

I have lots of things to be excited about.
1. The Sartorialist book is out and you can get it at Amazon for $16.50! But I'm going to try and get it from the library first, since my bookshelf is crammed with school books.
2. Nicola Ticola is doing a t-shirt giveaway. Click here to check them out and enter to win :]
3. Project Runway!!! I hope it's as good as it was on Bravo.

I need to find the designer of this dress, Ashlee Simpson looks fabulous in it. Can anyone help? Or is it a top/skirt?

Trainwreck.

Mischa Barton gets strap happy, but something here is not working for me. Or the woman behind her...



What is that wet spot on her butt?

I got my digital issue of NYLON and saw these wedge booties by Alice and Olivia for Payless. Not bad for $50. I could see myself walking around campus in these.

The samples had four buckles on each side in February, but that's okay. I still made them an early Valentine :]





Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. My boyfriend cheated on me so I cried a lot and didn't take any photos.

Steve Aoki at Underbar tonight!

No time for fresh material-- I've been working on the launch of the women's blog for Karmaloop! It's really exciting to be able to work on projects like this as an intern. I hope people like it :)
I haven't taken more pictures but I thought I'd show you a better picture of the amazing Brian Lichtenberg tee. You can get it at Karmaloop.com for $25 (they're usually $42) but they only have XS right now.

**Can you spot Karl?


I <3 you Brian Lichtenberg! He also did the patchwork tights in the photo, but those are sold out too. Should I cut my tee like hers?

Come on, sunshine

First off, Nitrolicious posted the new collection of Topshop boots!

This is a really basic outfit since I wasn't feeling up to it. I got the tee and perforated sneakers on Karmaloop with my gift codes :]







tee - Blood is the New Black, shorts - Volcom, bracelet - DIY, sneakers - Ash Shoes
I'm not really a makeup person, but if your brows and lips get washed out in photographs (like mine do), Anastasia brow powder and Rimmel lipstick in Eastend Snob will do the trick!

My sister always said that hardships come in twos

Last week, I was trapped in an elevator and then a subway car on the same day. Then I smashed two fingers in separate occasions. I'm afraid for what's next! But here are some good things in twos:


studded mini skirt - Balmain and Topshop

keyhole bra - Alexander Wang and Urban Outfitters

D'orsay pumps with stud and zipper detail - L.A.M.B. and Forever 21

Sarah of Vampirate Wars tagged me with the Kreativ Blogger award! The florals and plaid aren't really my thing, so I made my own with two things I love: Frank Stella and tattoo lettering.

1. When I was 6, I learned to sew and started playing the violin. I practiced hard until college, and now I barely touch the instrument because I'm busy studying fashion design.
   Sometimes I wish my parents weren't so controlling.
2. I have been pretty much the same size since 6th grade.
3. My favorite foods are cheesecake, watermelon, and grass jelly but I am not a picky eater. I will try almost anything once (including crickets).
   
4. The scar on my leg is from when I tripped on a hockey net while ice skating. The blade stabbed me in the shin and I needed stitches at the ER. I have not been ice skating since.
5. I love going to Bang Camaro shows!
   
6. If I could trade places or bodies with anyone, I'd trade with Ashlee Simpson. Seriously. Her life is pretty much the complete package.
   
7. My parents don't know that I live with my boyfriend. They also don't know that we are dating.

I don't know many other bloggers yet but I have to tag 7 others. If I tag you, write 7 interesting things about yourself and pass this on!
