Sequined Leggings- Fall Trend

We've pretty much already figured out that leggings are here to stay, for a bit anyway. Right now the fashion industry is just thinking up different ways to make them more interesting. Adding sequins! I think they're pretty hot definitely better then the ones that have holes down the side, I hate those. Besides the ones with holes shouldn't be made in anything larger than a medium. :/
These leggings in the photo are from Custo Barcelona, the design house from Spain and that image is their recent campaign. Be on the look out for them in the coming shows at Bryant Park, and also enjoy Bryant Park since this is the last fashion week that will be taking place at Bryant Park before the switch in 2010 to the Lincoln Center. Boo hoo, Bryant Park has been fun, I've seen many shows there in the last 2 years.

Pegging jeans to make a comeback...?

I'm sure some of you won't remember (maybe you will) the faze the boys went through back in the 90's when they were pegging their jeans. Well I do because my older brother and all of his friends did it and it was the cool thing to do and actually pretty hot. Then, like any other trend... BAM it was a thing of the past and it was over. Well, as we all know fashion repeats itself just like history and I sense a comeback of "pegging your jeans". Check out Exhibit A, to your left. These are a pair of jeans by Numph and actually called the Button Cuff Denim. They made it a bit easier since there is a "technique" to pegging your jeans but these Numph jeans give the same effect, just button at the ankle.

For $65 plus shipping they're yours get them here: ASOS

Give it to me now photos!!!!!! Instantly!

Now why in the world would you ever want to get rid of instant photos? That is still beyond me. Sure digital cameras are amazing but come on, there is nothing like taking a photo and having the camera spit it out right then. I mean am I right, or am I right?

Well there is hope... I was just informed by a few friends that the polaroid will be resurrected! My life will be complete again!!! Apparently someone has bought the rights to the polaroid and will start producing the film again within one year. I guess that means I don't need to by the new Fuji instant camera that was suppose to take the place of the polaroid. Now this is just what is going around, I hope and pray it is true. I was so devastated when the news was out that they were stopping the polaroid film and cameras. The Polaroid is a huge American staple, my entire baby book is filled with Polaroids.

Long live the Pola!!!!!!

Fishy Fish Eye....

I am thinking about getting this fisheye camera. I think the whole fisheye craze is a little trendy but the images are definitely cool. I love the whole Lomography Fisheye. I guess it's not bad priced at $40, I do think I can find it cheaper though. It's really just a toy camera. I mean this whole fisheye deal is about making interesting images not about shooting something for Vogue. ;) Since when you take the photo it's like you shot it through a toilet paper holder haha.

Drape Me.

Love this simple shirt by Kai-Aakmann. Draping is so in right now haha. Nah, serious it really is and clothing that just has a nice hang to them are made really well. Despite what one might think draping takes some serious talent. The garment needs to fall in just the right way. This designer does a great job at nailing both his draping skills as well as wearable casual yet sexy fashion with this long sleeve knit tee with front pleating.
Kuuuudos! ;)

PS: I really love those jeans too!

You never fail me ...

Australia! Ok, well in case you didn't know I have a slight obsession with Australia. Don't ask why, but I do. Weather it be the hot surfer boys with their golden tan skin or the amazing designers that come from down under who really knows. ;) Haha! Sass & Bide has been one of my favorites Australian designers for a while now. Remember the Rat Legging? Yup, it was Sass & Bide, man those were hot! Anyway check out this 'Well Hung Jacket' by Antipodium another amazing designer from that far away land. Perfect for the "I stole my boyfriends jacket" look that seems to be sooooooo hot right now. Save up though, this thread is going for $408, US dollar.

Erin Love xo

Erin Wasson has been flooding the scene lately, or is it just me? Nope, she really has. Her line with RVCA is pretty sweet I must say. A little over priced for my budget and well for a hardly there slouchy tank top but ...... nonetheless, I have to admit to purchasing one. Opps. It was hot, gimmie a break! : )

I love her vibe and laid back style of her collection. If I can look disheveled I am all about it, messy hair thank you! I told my Mum this style would come back! Hah

I would say model turned designer but considering the fact that she is still rocking several editorials and not to mention the catalog for Victoria's Secret she is still definitely a model.

Check out RVCA's site for Erin's Collection: Erin Wasson x RVCA

Meow!

How many of you are sooooooooo tired of seeing the same old fashion editorials in every single magazine you pick up? I know I am. I saw this image and I fell in love with it, I don't even think it was ever published in a magazine which I think is really sad. It's so cute, the styling, the model, the expression everything. Anyway just wanted to share this image because it's uber cute!

Danish Love

This lovely dane is making waves at Copenhagen fashion week. Fifth-teen year old Caroline C. is one of the promising faces to debut this season in Copenhagen. Her wide set blue eyes are hard to miss. She's definitely got the laid back vibe that seems to be in high demand at the moment and lucky for her it comes natural. There is only a couple more weeks till New York kicks off, Caroline is definitely going to make a huge impression on casting directors. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of her come show season in NYC.

Be sure to wear a flower in your hair...

Coming from California and living the laid back, no worries lifestyle I have the peace, love & haight ashbury in my blood. Sooo if you're coming for a visit to the beautiful Northern California part of California don't be surprised if you still see some modern day flower children running around, especially in lovely San Francisco.

I just went out yesterday and bought some Daises with my Mum and I am going to be planting them around the house. If I can just walk outside and pick my own daises to make my own little flower head pieces I'll be a happy girl. ;)

Keep the love love love xx
