fall 2013 rtw

 3.1 Phillip Lim's Fall 2013 collection really did it for me. He created this girl who is very cool but also very relatable... and very covetable.

I'm in love with the way the boots make the legs look, accentuating the curves of the calves and knees. Making them look fluid but also you can tell the boots are very sturdy at the same time. I love that juxtaposition.

My favorite looks are below, thanks to style.com

Bon Qui Qui

Loving this new Alexander Wang video featuring Bon Qui Qui. It's the T by Alexander Wang Spring 2013 Campaign. It's hilarious.

I remember first seeing Anjelah Johnson in a youtube video my friend sent me a few years ago. She did this stand-up routine about going to the nail salon-I was dying laughing. You should youtube that too :)

i'm so excited; this weekend i opened a shop on etsy! i'm finally doing something with my collection of vintage, selling it! i think i started collecting when i was...12? i got my first piece of vintage from an estate sale when i was 8. my mom wanted to stop in and after a lot of begging she finally bought me a 1950's black velvet dress to play dress-up in! i used to pretend i was marilyn monroe and then last year i wore it to my boyfriend's senior prom hehe

check it out, i have a few things right now with much more to come!
