I know a lot of people have mixed opinions about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's Style, and some people just flat out hate it. Lately though, I've noticed that I've become really fond of it. The way they mix pieces and styles is actually quite brilliant when you think about it. They know the key to layering and the what's right amount of grunge to incorporate into an outfit. They know exactly how to style vintage with high fashion and make it look completely cohesive. I'm honestly not sure if anyone else could pull off this style as well as they can. It would look simply atrocious on someone of the norm. These girls make the hobo style look absolutely glamorous AND easy. But in reality, this style is anything but easy...I've tried to mimic it numerous times only to come out looking like I tried to wear the entire contents of my closet, its quite horrific. These two are definitely getting added to my list of inspiration.

Procrastination may as well be my middle name.

I must admit I'm known for jumping on band-wagons and starting things without ever finishing them. Take my many unfinished sewing projects for example. Needless to say this behavior must stop. I've written for this blog a few times only to see the posts peter out, right along with my imagination for things to write about. My neglect and procrastination towards this blog needs to do a complete 180. I vow to try to do a post at least twice weekly, and even more often when I have spare time or just have a sudden burst of imagination. What you can be prepared to see throughout this blog is Fashion, Food, Music, Politics, Art, and just about anything else that comes to mind.

'Till next time,

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I've never really done anything special for New Years, I've went to a few New Years Eve parties in the past but they were nothing special. So it was really no surprise that I was in bed by 9:30 last night, although I did get woken up by fireworks going off behind my house. It doesn't really feel like the start of a new year today, in fact both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year felt like a joke. I guess it's the weather, it's hard to adapt to the holiday season when it's 80 degrees and sunny outside. I just can't wrap my head around it.

In other news...I start work on sunday at Abercrombie & Fitch, I'm pretty excited about it. It'll be my first job that won't involve working with family members. On the 11th I start school again, not sure I'm ready to give up this break and start sitting in class again. It's not like I have a choice though.

Well, that's all for now. I'll check back later and give you an update about the new job :]

Jamie Nelsons Fashion Photography makes my draw drop. If I could somehow, in my lifetime create this much creativity and originality in my photos I would die a very happy; possibly very famous woman.

More soon!

Some photos of inspiration...

Raquel Allegra

I first saw Raquel Allegra's Line last February at one of the shows during LA Fashion Week. I was awestruck as the models walked down the runway draped in pure shredded perfection. The time and detail put into these items was impossible to overlook. It looked like the material could disintegrate at the slightest touch, yet still durable for everyday wear. Light enough to wear on warm days, and thin enough to layer. These shredded masterpieces reminded me of cocoons; butterfly cocoons. They were paired with masculine shoes; often Oxfords, which I think really helped, launch the trend throughout this season. Allegra should definitely be on your fashion radar.

In other news, I have finals all next week, so the posts will be a little slow. Last day of school is the 11th, so the posts will speed up after that.

Until next time...

Long time, no post

Wow, its been forever since I've been on this blog.

It was previously a joint blog between my Father and I, entitled Musings and Morsels and we only did one post. It was written by me my sophomore year of High School; now being a freshman in College, that seems like forever ago. Yet I still have the same opinions voiced in the text, although by now I've made many of the stated mistakes.

Anyways, this blog has had a complete makeover and will now be used for my everyday expressions on fashion, music, politics, and whatever else comes to mind.

Enjoy! :]

Trust Me Girls

Girls trust me on this one:

a) Don't complain about how you hate how your boyfriend treats you, and how you and he always fight, if it really bothered you that much, then you'd do something about it.

b) If you honestly think that having sex with your boyfriend in high school is a smart decision? Then you thought wrong. The only reasons that your having sex with him are as stated: your insecure about yourself, you don't get enough attention at home, you think it will keep him around a little longer, or your trying to compete and/or be like all the other hoes you go to school with. Why not save yourself for someone who really matters. Someone you'll be with longer than a few measly months. Smart Decision? Yeah, I think so too.

c) If he cheats on you, DONT FORGIVE HIM! It didn't just slip his mind that he had a girlfriend and that what he was doing was wrong, he knew it was wrong all along. So make him pay for it, don't just keep him around, you'll never be able to fully trust him again, and you know it. And if your one of those girls who just gets pissed at the girl that he cheated on you with then your dumber than I thought. Yes, she’s responsible for 50% of what happened but he's responsible for the other 50%. It takes two to tango.

d) Don't even try and say you wish you didn't have feelings for your boyfriend, and that its just too hard to not be with him. Because if you didn't want to have feelings for him, then you wouldn't, and if you didn't want to be with him, you wouldn't be. So don't try to make excuses for your stupidity. Face the facts. And MOVE ON.

e) Almost all couples in High School claim to "Love" each other. But c'mon, be realistic here. You don't even know what love is. Your still in High School, you've had maybe what, a few serious relationships in your time? You don't have enough experience to know what something even close to love is. Your not even an adult yet, so don't say things that aren't true.

f) Don't plan your future around your boyfriends. Pick the college you want to go to and the career you want to fulfill, not what your boyfriend wants to do, or where he's going to school. You didn't think that you'd actually still be together when you leave High School did you? Oh, wow, you did. That's sad. Well again, be realistic, and stop living your life in fantasy land. WAKE UP There’s plenty of boys out there that you are going to want to meet and get to know, your not gunna want to be tied down when those situations come around the corner.

g) Stop taking relationships so seriously and getting all depressed about them. Its High School, the only thing your supposed to take seriously is your education. Not meaningless relationships, that will end almost as soon as they start.

h) And no, guys you meet on myspace are not real boyfriends. I'm not going to name names, but "some people" think that they are real. Don’t try to say you like a boy you meet on myspace and fall head over heels for him, and then be devastated when things "don't work out" Don’t try and tell your friends you know him and that you've hungout with him when you haven't. 100% of the time they know your full of sh*t. Grow up. Stop living in cyberspace and get a real life and a real boyfriend if you even can.

Don’t try to tell me I don’t know what I'm talking about girls. Don't try to tell me that I wouldn't know because I don't have enough experience in these departments. Because I don't need to have gone through what you do to know this stuff. I know, because I learn from stupid girls like you.
