Vera Wang Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear

Perfection. Pure perfection.

From the muted color palatte paired with elaborate yet edgy jewelry and chains, to the loose and yet sophisticated silhouettes, Vera shows fashion week the definition of "versatile." The colors are perfect for every season and the materials as well. Silk and chiffon and feathers and metal translate well for all weather and all occasions. Paired with platforms and a fancy hair do, the silk jumpsuits are great for an evening out, but paired with flats and a sweater, a perfect option for day.

fashion meme number infinity

1.What are you wearing right now?
I'm in bed so... olive green silk sleep shorts and a gold boys' Boston College t-shirt (it makes for the perfect boxy cropped shirt).

2.What do you wish you were wearing?
This...

3.If you could have one designer make a dress for you who would it be?
Vera Wang. Wedding gown. Duh, every girl's dream.

4.If you could snag one Hollywood star/starlet's style who would it be and why?
Rachel Bilson. She's a fan of pairing classic pieces with trendy, more out there ones to make an outfit her own. She experiments with her style which has evolved gracefully over the years and she knows what flatters her figure (petite, like mine). She also isn't a label snob... she'll pair $300 jeans with a $10 Hanes t-shirt and make it look good.

5.Three items (clothing or accessories) you always will need in your closet:
A leather jacket, a pair of black tights, a little black dress (preferably stretchy and strapless because then it can be scrunched or folded down and turned into a mini skirt or a high-waisted skirt as well; versatility is key).

6.One piece of clothing that you think will never go out of style:
Well fitting, skinny jeans in a dark color. Slim pants are flattering, go with everything, are perfect for all kinds of weather and can be dressed up or dressed down.

7. How do you wear your makeup?
On a daily basis I use Bare Essentials Mineral Makeup (concealer, foundation, bronzer/blush, powder) with lots of really black mascara, black eyeliner, a nude and some kind of dark shadow blended together, and chapstick. When I go out on the weekends I do the same routine except I go way heavier and darker on the eye makeup (and occasionally add liquid liner) to create a smokey eye or I wear a bright red lipstick.

shopcuffs.com -- amazing finds, all under $70!!

I found a new favorite online clothing store that even sells vintage. Like Pixie Market, things get sold out fairly quickly, but it's actually less expensive (but just as cute) as PM which is a plus.

Here are some of my favorite items:

Sunday Best Cropped High-Waisted Pleat-Front Pants

So Caught Up In You A-Line Dress

Small Wonder Denim Dress

His for Her Skinny Cheap Monday Boyfriend Jeans

Hep Cat Pinstriped Apron Dress

Flash Forward Over-Sized Batwing Sweater

Chain Ganged Racer Back Tank

Luck Be A Lady Sequined Halter Vintage Pantsuit (too bad it's sold out... it's fabulous!)

First

Today was my first day of classes. It was a drag getting up and making the hike from my apartment to campus, but at least I had virtually no problem picking out an outfit this morning. I usually like to plan what I wear in advance, but I was a slacker last night and went to bed instead.

Here's what I wore:

an over-sized slouchy white pocket tank by Miley Cyrus and Max Azria

a Levi's denim vest, just a couple shades lighter in color than this picture

super skinny black pants

tribal-esque gladiators from Aldo (well, at least I wore them until the foot I hurt last night started to throb... then I switched to studded black flip flops ha)
