Intelligent Frivoloty Turns Out To Be Creative and Useful, Afterall

anna Wintour Said, "If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what's going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times."

Interesting when you look at John Galliano's 2011 Spring Fashion debut for mensware. Male models stomp down the runway as Charlie Chaplins. A Depression has most definitely clouded the fashion industry, if only over the bank accounts of upscale bouquties and couture dress shops. Kelly Cutrone said "I got into fashion in the 90's because fashion was the new Rock N' Roll." She went on to explain that this was no longer the case. Fashion has been hurting for the past 5 years. Why not lament the loss in style?

Things to Look Forward to In the Great Month of September

I love September. I love the word itself. I love what it represents. If you know me, you probably know that I get overly sentimental about the holidays, and overly expressive and participatory when it comes to fall and winter celebrations. In lieu of these facts, I decided to write about exciting events that take place in September...things we can all look forward too. Yes, "we".

September hosts Labor Day..You know what that means? 3 day weekend. Celebrate.

September 9 through the 16, New York Fashion week.

September 16, the great state fair

The September issue of Vogue Magazine

September being one month closer to Halloween, and spiced drinks

Semptember: the arrival of temperate, bareable weather

September birthdays :I know about 5 people who share a birthday in September? Whats the deal?

Yeah, thats all i've got. I love it.

Music. Beach House. Yeah.

Its nothing new that Beach House is awesome. Yeah, Beach House. Mhm.

Ox Blood Paints Fall Red

It's a couple of days until August. I have no air conditioning in my 2001 hail-damaged Saturn (as many of my friends know because I complain about it virtually every day). I'm dreaming of mid September and October when I can wear my leather, my blazers, tights with fabric shorts, and riding boots. Ahhh, classic.

I peeked Fall 2010 fashion, and I have highlighted some of my own favorite looks (Thanks refinery29.com)OX BLOOD. I was at work the other day, and found a deep red mini satchel that was, as my coworker Jenna informed me "ox blood." She was so right. I'm loving this color for fall. Can you go wrong with plumb and oxblood? Probably not.

CAMEL -- I think camel quite frankly never goes out of style. Its sophisticated, and warm. I love it in cashmere. I invested in a camel blazer from Banana Republic 2 years ago, and i'm so glad I did because its one of my favorite "essential pieces."

Winter's Crop Top -- If you were confused and unsettled by the reemergence of the crop top for summer, you can remain at unease for fall. I never quite got the hang of the crop top for summer, but I feel like cropped sweaters and sweater vests will be insanely cute with jeans and heals and long necklaces. I'm going to be on the hunt for this play on proportion.

NYFW also featured graffiti pants, and leather pleated skirts. I think both ideas are pretty amazing. I love the idea of a leather pleated skirt. It's like school girl gone rock and roll. I love plays on traditional ideas, like pairing something abrasive like a studded belt, with something soft and girly.

Military fashion -- i've been interested in this for the past 3 years is kind of old to me. They are mass producing it like crazy though. I think the civil war-inspired button up jacket can go real wrong real fast. (thanks fashionising.com)

Buttoned up-- collars are one of my favorite new looks. It's sort of 80's but modern at the same time? I like this with short, chained necklaces.

Things to do Before I Die

Dear Lord,

Please let me see the Knife and/or Fever Ray before I go into the great beyond. The Knife remain the most influential groups in the last 10 years, and they are under represented in the music world. I love.love.love this song (cover) and performance.
