OH GOD, MY MIND IS EATING MY HEART OUT. OH GOD, MY HEART IS BEATING MY MIND UP.

OUR TEAM IS DYNAMITE

This is a need-to-own basis.

FUH-FUH-FUH-FUH-FASHION; POSING WITH MY ARM

Christine Centenera: Editor of Austrailian Bazaar
Need, obsession. The bra is exactly what I have been looking for. Can anyone ID one that is not made by Stella McCartney?

GRAMMAR GODDESS

I wants me a Dear Dana shirt real bad.



Preferably the Grace Coddington one.

TOO MUCH TO DO

Hailing a cab. Beauty in the mundane. Flannery O'Connor. Banal plot. Dramatic climax. Irony in the characters. Irony in the titles. Irony brings it home. Patron of the arts. A sister with a sob. A sister with a conscience. A sister with a problem. The answer down the road. Warmer is better. Dwindling pin. Black and gold. Words, words, words.

I POUR MY OWN DRINKS

I was never a huge fan of the maxi dress for Summer, let alone for Fall. However, the proportions of this ensemble really get me and I may have to resurrect mine for a little leather pairing. Hmm...ponder.

MISSION COMPLETE

So do you all remember a while back when I said I really wanted a forest green parka? Well, I found one. LeFashion was selling a Zara specimen for $90.00 and I immediately fell in love and had to have it. To win you had to be the first person to email her. I never thought I would win, but I did. Even though I had to pay, it feels like a victory. That's the truth. The timing is flawless considering I was just looking at all my outerwear (minus all the leather) and truly hating it all!
The Inspiration:

The Purchase:

If it isn't obvious, I have a bit of an online shopping problem.

I HAVE A PROBLEM

Can we just talk about how my life is ruined? This is no youthful grasp at distorted reality, I am officially an addict. They say the first step in a recovery process is to admit that you have a problem so here it goes. I, Marcelle, am addicted to shoesandyourmom.blogspot.com. It is the genius concoction of the well known blogger Lulu and basically runs like a selective, and therefore more dangerous, Ebay. I am in deep shit thanks to the peer pressure of a fellow addict. Wish us luck on this long road to recovery. However, until that time help me think of ways to earn $800.00 for these Chloe Dr. Martens

and then $585.00 for these brilliant patent, platform Marni wedges.

I need one last high.

SHE GIVES GOOD BACK

Dear Erin Wasson,
Although it is true that you may be a design stealer (there was an eerily similar skirt in your collection to one in Zac Posen SS 2003, I'm talking identical) and that you may possess the personality of a loon, what is also true is that you can dress. Does anyone do festival vending quite like you? I think not.

THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN

Le Call, yes that's her name.
This almost makes me want something Tori Burch...nah.

HOW 'BOUT IT

Is it lame that I am so not over leather and studs? For me they are not a trend and never will be...despite the fact that they are a trend right now. But leather is also classic, in a not-so-classic way. This is me talking in circles. No matter, this is what I call studs galore.

STYLE SIGH-TING

How bad do I want a sheep shag collar? Beyond bad!!!

IF I HAD IT TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN...

...I'd wear this every day of summer.

INSECURE MOTORIST

Oh, Ellen...I think I am feeling good about my closet and then I see you. You ruin me with your sublime choices! It's a marvel.

*Need that shirt. Will get that shirt.

WIDE EYED MINX

The many faces of Abbey Lee. Is it just me or is she girlish perfection?

LIKE A BAD HANGOVER; THIS IS HOW I FEEL

It's been one of those weeks lately where no matter what you do nothing is that good. Granted, nothing is that bad either but it has been hard to muster feeling for anything. No matter how much I sleep, I'm tired. No matter how many hours I spend applying for college, there's another application to do. No matter how much I do, there's more to be done. The major problem being that I have no creative drive and therefore do not want to do anything that permanent, anything I will be remembered for. Ah well, I will just go to bed until I am not tired anymore.

ZEALOUS BANDWAGON, WELCOME

Nothing like a vintage Kate to get me to the gym...

I DO BELIEVE IN SPOOKS

This is my ode to All Hallows Eve. Considering I spent all of last night dressed as a pirate, I think it is safe to say Halloween is amongst us. So let's curl up with some Poe and enjoy the fall air.

Want to know something sad? This is the cheapest outfit I have ever made costing a total of $618.00.

CONTRASTING WARM COLORS

Georgia has arrived! If the Hudson campaign wasn't affirmation enough, then surely a British Vogue cover is.




I kinda hate the styling, but my love for her dominates any negative feelings I may possess.

UP AND DOWN AND 'ROUND AGAIN

It's all too much...perfection overload! How gorgeous does she look in red? How can I be mad at Caleb for loving her when I love her too? Oh, the impossible predicaments of my life.

CA PLANE POUR MOI

How I loathe my own predictability, of course I like this editorial. It has the key components: a) dark eye makeup, b)tousled bed hair, c) a supporting cast of male and d) wearable styling. I should venture out more...

TO BREATHE IS TO COMPROMISE

I bet it's hard to find another frilly lace, elastic bottom band top. No matter, I shall endeavor to search anyway.

GIRL AROUND TOWN

As I am sure most of you have heard, Constance Joblonski was the most featured model during Spring 2010 with a total of 72 shows. She opened eight and closed three making it safe to say that Constance is here to stay.
If you don't know much about her besides the fact that she is French and was Spring 2009's predicted new It Girl, then welcome to the club. But I think I like her. Thoughts?

THE NEW MOD

With Paris fashion week comes more model off duty!




No one has a right to look that cool.

NO SECRET

While I was away, Atlanta did play.













I need that embellished velvet cape. Out of control.
