Trend Report: Little Leather Jackets

Although this trend made it's debut in FALL 2006, I still think that leather jackets would never go out of style just like jeans. You can pair it up with basically anything, and it would make your outfit look chic & modern. I absolutely love them.

The Bohemian Look

What does it mean to look Bohemian? So what is bohemianism these days? First of all, it's an outlook: a modern bohemian is intensely concerned with artistic self-expression, in all its forms (visual art, sculpting, literature, music, dance). A bohemian is usually anti-establishment, is an unorthodox, intelligent thinker, and is also often lacking in funds due to his or her passions. The following points are pretty common to bohemian culture, creativity and individualism are of utmost importance.

1) SECOND HAND STORES ARE TREASURE TROVES.
The second hand store is a great place to find strange items, and at the same time, to avoid the hustle-and-bustle, buy-buy-buy aura of the mall. Several times, while visiting my local mall, I've been overwhelmed by the urge to head down to my favorite second-hand store, and not only because of the prices.

2) BAGGY IS BEAUTIFUL - AND COMFY!
Bohemian style is practical - you won't see a Bohemian out in the cold without a coat (often double-breasted) unless it's for a performance arts project. Likewise, tight, constricting clothing is out of the question. Bohemianism is all about freedom, so freedom of motion is important.

3) STYLE IS WHO YOU ARE, NOT WHAT YOU SPEND.
A bohemian turns the body into a work of art as inexpensively as possible. That means avoiding big names, or even avoiding brand names altogether .

4) CONFIDENT EXPRESSION IS SEXY.
When you show who you really are (and that can mean being unafraid to admit a bit of near garbage-picking), because you like who you are, people notice, and they like it too. If you're looking to attract an intelligent, confident, creative mate, nurture those traits in yourself, and you'll reel 'em in with ease.

5) NO MORE FASHION ANXIETY.
As a bohemian, you no longer have to worry so much about "what's cool." Rather than fearing disapproval, you can look to your peers with mutual approval. You are no longer a slave to what's in, and can breathe easy as you browse People Magazine for ideas rather than restrictions.

Paris Fashion Week 2009

I love how black is always the staple, predominant color for Parisians through out the entire year, any season, day or night.

Fashion Statement: Bows

From small to medium to LARGE. Bows are in for SPRING/SUMMER/FALL 09. I personally like this trend because you can wear the simplest thing and if you put a hint of bows like a clutch, a belt, or simply a headband, you'll look more feminine and they add a nice touch to the outfit.

Summer Trend Alert: Flowers!

A lot of designers had flowers as a main focus in their Spring 09 collections. But it is now in summer that I'm noticing more and more flowers on every piece of clothing you can think of. If you want to get cute skirts or tops or dresses, Forever 21 has a vast variety! I made these following ensembles.

Nike Sandals

Nike Re-mixed and Re-Cut by Nancy Wu

I'm feeling theseeee.









"Product Design student, Nancy Wu, looks to be headed into a masterful approach to cut and sew sneaker design. Taking elements from three separate pairs of footwear, Wu constructs various new models featuring a look reminiscent of those old school Roman sandals with a new age approach. Although the complete reconstruction customs have been done before, her designs are taken to another level with the creation of a completely original silhouette".

Balloon / Hammer Pants.

In my opinion I find these to be ridiculously unfashionably a DISASTER! Definitely a TREND that will DIE very SOON. I've seen them on people in the streets already, and they look like they have pampers hanging from their asses, or like water balloons (hence the name "balloon pants") or someshit. These pants do not show your figure nicely, instead they make you look ODDLY weird. They hide your curves (if you have any) and fit horribly loose like pijamas.

Seriously

Be yourself, everyone else is taken!

Nose piercings:

"According to the Indian medicine, the female who gets her nose pierced is assumed to experience less pains while giving birth to her child. The reason behind this belief is, through the piercing some vein is pressed that makes the childbirth easier. Apart from the Ayurveda believe, few astrologers even suggests spinster to pierce their nose in order to find the right match for them. Also, It is believed that the piercing of the nose near a particular node on the nostril lessens the pain during monthly menstrual cycle and that it protects women from nasal infection. Nose studs or rings are worn by both married and unmarried Hindu women. The significance of the nose stud varies from region to region. As in several other rituals, there is no written code in Hinduism regarding the wearing of nose ring or nose piercing. In certain Hindu sects, a nose ring is referred as ‘Nath’ is worn during marriage and is a symbol of married woman".

SUMMER OUTFITS!

These are actually outfits I would wear.

Work it Madonna!

I'm liking this LV campaign so far. It's hot.

Matthew Williamson for H&M

Are you kidding me!!!? It's not that serious! It is simply JUST clothes! No need to kill yourself over a piece of cloth that eventually will wear out after you wash it! That's absurd and ridiculous. -_-

Future Boutique Interior Design

They're the epitome!

I want to have body guards, and big Chanel handbags, and Cavalli leather boots, oh and let's not forget, Louboutin platforms.

She's Moss!

I do love TopShop and all, but I dont really like her clothing line. She does dress fashionably on point, but as an editor once said "Kate Moss's clothing does not suit everybody's figuere". But regardless of me not liking her line, I do believe she's an amazing Supermodel.

My diet.

Indeed, indeed. I must agree with the MASTER.
