Foggy Hearts...

Hearts drawn on a windowpane; existent for a little while, gone when the sun shimmers through.

This is one of my fave Flickr finds, I've been spending too much time in Flickr lately. Oh and just got a Canon Rebel xsi that I'm deadly in love with. Waiting for a day off from school or a break of some kind to just wander about and photograph for a while.

What are you guys up to lately?

Back again...

I left my heart in New York City...

I got home on Tuesday evening and I've been sad, I mean I just totally fell in love with the city; it's just so alive and inspiring, so different from where I'm at right now. Le sigh...

*all pics taken by me*

outfit details:
jacket -f21, turtleneck - Zara, jeans - f21, shoes - Converse

I heart NYC

Arrived in NYC yesterday and I already hate thinking about Tuesday ( the day I come back home). This place is just a dream come true for someone with an artistic soul...
It is just so different from anywhere else in the world; yes, people here may be cold and they won't small talk back at you but there's something in the air, that just keeps getting you high and you just want more and more of it.

Highlights of the day:
Found my sis's Fashion U sites, ran around Times Square, shopped at F21 (yes the one with like 4 floors!!), froze for a while until I got used to it, walked to Central Park, ended up at the Upper East Side (and yes, everything there looks like an episode of Gossip Girl - the school uniforms are worthy of a season collection), took the subway back to our hotel street and now have sore feet, lolz.

outfit details:
Jacket & Pants -F21, Boots - eBay, scarf -Claire's,
Turtleneck - Gap, Hat - Banana Republic
** all pics taken in Central Park, except the last one - that was on my hotel bed**

More pics will eventually come this way, I'm just too starstruck to upload more, don't want to miss a thing that goes on around here...

Quote of the Day: 10/19/2010

Just a sweet little quote I found over one of my fave blogs: Live.Laugh.Love.
Thanks Stephanie for letting me use it!
I gotta get started on packing sometime soon, I've been procrastinating is such a fine manner, lolz.

Hope you guys are having a sweet week!

Musical Mondays: Funny Girl's "Don't Rain on my Parade"

This song is just sooooo stuck in my head! It's Barbra Streisand's Don't Rain on my Parade from the Funny Girl movie/musical.
The song's super motivational and the strong emotion and stamina required to give the piece life is just insane!

The Replicas of Anna Wintor and Grace Coddington

Reading around I bumped into this cute editorial on these rag dolls designed by Andrew Yang. This pair went to auction and the proceeds were sent to the NYC Aids Funds. Sweet huh?

Btw, you all excited for Fashion's Night In?? A ton of shops like Net-a-Porter , ASOS and such are going to be holding ultra special discounts and competitions online during Nov. 1st.

It's the Fashion's Night Out but online!! *I'm gonna go broke, lolz.

Fall and all it's Colors

I'm such a horrid blogger -yes, I feel terrible after a few days of not blogging. I've been super busy with the trip and homework and the shop's new collection (that hopefully if I find a photographer I'll be able to launch before I leave) that I haven' had any time for anything!

Hopefully today when I'm done with all my orders I can just sit back and plan my outfits and outings and such.
But for today, I'm sharing this uber cute pic of what I call a burst of color for fall.
I'll come back with a proper post soon!

Any ideas of places I should visit?

Girl can Scout

Decided to publish this beautiful editorial that I found at Marie Claire UK. I was searching for inspiration for my NYC/Fall outfits and found this little piece of heaven and just had to share!

I'm Loving that Ad

I'm loving the Nine West Ad because it's just this type of ad that I can relate to! I mean, the drooling on the window of a shop with drop-dead-gorgeous shoes inside sounds like it's something I would totally do.

Musical Mondays: Re-Birth of Pop Bands

Ok, so one of my best friends got a hair cut and supposedly he does look like one of the NSYNC guys (according to one of his bros, tho I haven't seen him yet so can't really tell) and just the simple mention of the band made me reminiscence and start digging into my old CD collection to find all these bands and singers I was into in my pathetic teen years. Gosh I remember having my walls COVERED in posters and I would die if I didn't have their CD's the SAME day they were out.

A blast to the past, shall we?

NSYNC

BACKSTREET BOYS -
I was actually certain that I would grow up and become Mrs. Sophie Carter, lolz.

I Heart Grunge in Fall

I know these are uber old pics from last year's fall season but as you guys know (or not) I'm leaving to NYC in about 12 days and I'm searching for some fall season inspiration.
Someone lend me a plaid skirt??

Fancy Fridays: An Air of Audrey

One of the women I most admire...
I believe her elegance, poise, simplicity and charisma were one of a kind, she's my inspiration today...

Failure is a Lesson...

Today, for the first time ever I flunked a test.
I'm sorry I'm using this blog post to vent out a little, but if I don't share this with anyone I'll go insane.

So people say I take myself too seriously, that I believe that I'm perfect, that things either go my way or no way at all; well it's not true. I just try working as hard as I can to get to where I need to be and I depend on that to get the job done. And I don't like trying my best and that best not being good enough. It has never happened before. I've always been the type of studying or practicing like crazy and seeing straight A's. I guess this time it wasn't enough...

Right now I'm annoyed, I'm frustrated only at myself. I at the moment need to grieve this, cry for a while, and then when I'm ready, I'll forgive myself and move on.

I guess failure is just a lesson I was bound to learn.
