The Perfect Bag for Aspiring Journalists

Whenever I see newspaper print on clothes or accessories, I'm immediately intrigued. I don't know whether it's the journalist inside of me or because it's not something I see on a regular basis. I found this one by John Galliano while browsing sample sale boutiques online. It's no longer on the site now, but I'm blogging about it anyhow. My favorite part of the purse is that if you look closely, you can read the stories that were printed on the fabric.

Thinking of Resort 2010

Today I had a lovely snow day, so I was able to sit in my pjs all day, hang out with my sisters and mom, eating way too much food, and decorating my room for Christmas. I have a cute mini tree I put up every year with tiny ornaments and garlands!

Digressing from all the snow and winter weather, I always love looking at designer's resort lines because they're so fresh, fun, and simple. They're the type of clothes you can picture yourself wearing on a Caribbean cruise, lounging on the deck, sipping ice-cold drinks, while soaking up the sun and warm sea breeze. A-a-a-a-ah...a nice escape from reality while the snow is falling! There were so many really great resort lines, but here are a few of my favorites.

First Winter's Snow

Okay, well it's not winter yet, but it may as well be! This weekend I got into the holiday spirit with some Christmas music and cookie baking. It made everything even more perfect when I was in my holiday groove and the snow started falling. Even though winter is my least favorite season, mainly because I hate the cold, I can't stand a Christmas without snow. We got a good amount, and personally, I would be all set if this was the only snow we got all winter...ha! Too bad I live in New Hampshire!

A Man with Style

Kanye West has become one of the most stylish men in the music industry. He may not be known for being the most humble, but when it comes to fashion he's at the top. He started by applying for internships at European fashion houses and then moved on to collaborating with Nike and Louis Vuitton. He's recently launched his clothing line, Pastelle. Some clothes from this line were worn in his music video "Good Life."

"...I always say I was a designer before I was a rapper, and I really wanted to get into design."

He's a man who...

...attends fashion shows to see the clothes,

not just to be seen in them.

....mixes patterns with ease.

...looks hot in hot-pink.

...can pull off a tux with sneakers.

...isn't afraid of bold accessories.

 ...knows how to wear scarves.

...and has his own shoe line for Louis Vuitton (released this summer).

Happy Friday!

Sonia Rykiel-Resort 2010

It's been very hectic this week with my drama rehearsals nearing an end, while the hours get longer. I'm so excited tonight is opening night! We're performing a series of short plays by David Ives.

I love Valencia's recent post on Roll up Your Sleeve, she wore this cute poncho from Forever 21 that I want so badly! I'm definitely going to need a shopping trip there soon!

Hope you all have a lovely Friday!
