I'm living in the future so the present is my past, my presence is a present kiss my ass

I realize that the new Spring 2011 looks are very Mad Men inspired (to which I do not object. With all this Jersey Shore nonsense about I think it's about time we brought classy back). Yet I feel my style for fall leaning slightly bohemian (my general style tends to be verious interpratations on preppy casual - conservative) While I still adore the likes of Marni and Prada, and my heart leaps up when I behold anything and everything Marc Jacobs (I almost fainted when I saw his latest for Louis Vuitton. BEAUTIFUL! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! But for me impractical. You can't me accident prone and wear a $900 cashmere sweater set and stillettos,You just can't. I'm also happen to be a student) I think the lines that really spoke to me this season would be Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors.

RALPH - The white wash of the collections this season put me, a notorious spiller, slightly off but this outfit with it's clean simple mix of a classic button down with the tasselled skirt. Chic yet fuctional. I'll probably trade the strappy sandles for some sturdy ankle boots (like the Alexander McQueen ones below) Much more practical if one need to be running around campus all day.

MICHAEL KORS - Bullocks! You're about to be late for class! What to do? What to wear? You're not about to show up to Economics in your pajamas, your hair a disaster, especially since there are so many hansome potential bankers, stockbrokers, and lawyers sitting around you (one of which you heard could possibly be a Rockefeller). Here is what you do you grab this Kors dress, the below Christian Louboutin flats ( they're just as comfy as your bunny slippers, but much chicer and they're less likely to start questions about your state of mental health), throw that hair up in a high ponytail, brush your damn teeth (you're independent now, not an animal even if you do party like one). And you know what, a little mascara wouldn't kill you either. What? You didn't get home until 3 a.m. Party with frat boys all you want, but don't expect to look fresh faced and the 21st Century's Jacqueline Bouvier the next morning.



MULBERRY - New Favourite. everything sent down the runway was so gorgeous, and totally fuctional AND all the models were sent down the runway wearing fabulous red wigs (which I think is about time knowing one noteable doll of a redhead, whom I'm fortunate enough to call my best friend) I personally am not great with

mono-chromatics. so instead of the powder blue ankle boots I'd go for the  

Cole Haan Suede Wedges (left)



DOLCE & GABBANA -

Just like Ralph Lauren, Dolce was  a sea of white but a

breezy leopard print, lace trimmed maxi-dress that I'll

 be wearing with simple Marc Jacobs flats came sailing down the runway and I was taken. Viva Romance.

DSQUARED2 - As a girl on the go I loved Dsquared2's cheeky menswear inspired line. Unlike a lot of its peers this line is exactly what is suppose to be, Ready to wear. The stand out for me was this brown crocodile print jacket. Throw it over a plain white tee, dark wash jeans and these ruby red Tod's flats, grab your Macbook and get your ass to class.

MENS WEAR:

Three Words: Band of Outsiders.

That name right there IS modern menswear.

Statement made out of personal bias and

prefference to preppy men? Maybe. But I think

ZZ Top said it best,

"every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination

The clear blue skies have put me in a good mood, so I put together a playlist of songs to listen to while sailing

Can't Buy Me Love

So, the following people are the inspiration for my ever changing hair

So earlier this year (January?) I was channeling Catherine Zeta-Jones in The Terminal

Febuary: I chopped my shoulder length hair into a pixie styled after actress Carey Muligan

March-April - May: Enjoying my lightweight style I went to keep my style fresh handing my hairdresser a shot of Alice in Wonderland's Mia Wosikowska

Oh dear, oh dear, June. Having lived through the stress of Prom, I was feeling a little too daring and shaved the sides and back of my head (yeah, I shaved it with a pair of electric shears. Stupid) I put the full blame on this picture of Rihanna.







Still June: Having remembered that I still had a graduation ceremony I had to attend I fixed up my hack job best I could with a pair of scissors and a picture of Jean Seberg

The below picture being the end result

Late July: THANK GOD my hair grows fast but by this time
 my hair was getting poufy so I took in a couple of picture (thanks to a little convincing from ELLE's annual best hair feature) to my hair dresser. a clip of Halle Berry and my long hero, Natalie Portman

August was great having a pixie as

my city of residence was struck by a unbearable heat wave.

but my the end of the month my hair started

getting a little bit longer and I got to rock a look that I've long admired: 

The Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) Italian Haircut.

NOW September: So now my hair is really starting to grow out, and well, I'm looking quite like the early beatles based on the below picture I look at the moment, like Paul.

Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die

Home State Home

Because I love California from the highways to the beaches, from Santa Monica Pier to Universal Studios.

ENJOY THE END OF SUMMER <3
