I know I know

I know.
"Where have you been?" you say? Running around to be honest. Let us catch up!
Immediately after DC Fashion Week the city spat up a second week dedicated to fashion, the 1st Annual Intellectual Property Students' Association Fashion Law Week, where they rose awareness on design piracy and the importance of copy writing. You know, like the freakish similarities in a Gucci "inspired" Forever21 belt.

I have also begun writing for a local online mag Glamourina!! Oh so awesome, so check us out!

 In addition to that I have been assembling a collaborative test shoot for KIC Thrift Boutique.

AND I finally registered for my first styling classes! I'm excited beyond words!

Last but not least, yesterday I purchased the Chris Brown album F.A.M.E, both original and deluxe. Who's judging? Not you!
Its amazing, trust me.

Before I leave to run around some more, like a chicken with its head cut off I just HAD to do a Jewelry Critique of the Week!

These guys, are Marc Jacobs' Zip It sud earrings. Creative, but tacky, if one was to wear these it should be evenings only with an 8pm curfew. I wonder what YKK, the largest zipper manufacturers in the world, think about this one.

Enjoy!

A Hint of Miki

Every so often, I would love to feature some of my stylish friends, clients, and people that inspire me on the streets. What better way to start this inspirational series than with my greatly missed, eclectic friend Miki!
While browsing at the new Forever21 on Newburry Street in Boston, she couldn't help but to purchase these statement pieces.
 

Teddy Bear Necklace: Miki would wear it with a pair of dark wash jeans, a basic white tee, and a gray blazer to create a contrast with the black and gold in the necklace. She also stated that the bear necklace reminds her of the artwork of Japanese Anime artist Takashi Murakami whom she studied last semester.

Rams Head Brass Ring: Attention grabbing, she would pretty much wear it with anything.

Be sure to wish Miki a very very Happy 20th Birthday! Enjoy!

DC Fashion Week Networking Party

Your Late!!
I know i know, the past two weeks have been very busy, and finding the time to have a seat and entertain you guys is sparse. However, within the busy weeks I did find the time to attend the DC Fashion Week Networking Party last Thursday. The party took place at Tabac Bistro on U street, and I must say it was live! Everyone came out to meet and greet including models, stylists, bloggers/writers, magazine editors, and of course some fashion related self starters. I was impressed, especially with last Monday's fail event in mind.
I took a few flicks. Enjoy!

 

DC Fashion Week Kick-Off Party

Last night was the Kick-off to DC Fashion Week, and what better way to celebrate it than with a party. The evenings festivities were held at Kellari Taverna, a local DC restaurant, where they served seafood hors d'oeuvres and complimentary champagne. The overall atmosphere was great, there was a mixed crowd including models, vendors, and local magazine executives.
I'm curious to see what the rest of the week has in store, last night's event was poorly organized, leaving some with a bad taste in their mouths.

There are some photos of the event below, including one of my partner in crime! Enjoy!

Jewelry Critique of the Week !!

A little delayed, but hey, it's still within the week!
So today's piece is for the princess looking for a little edge. The reflecting gold hue is perfect for the upcoming seasons, and the D-shaped rings tone down the original spiky cuff design. This piece would look best with a deep red cardigan or flirty chiffon top.
Enjoy!

Never Say Never

PSA: I have a confession to make, I've held this in for quite sometime because in some parts of the world my obsession is frowned upon.. I have an incurable disease.. BIEBER FEVER !! And it is contagious, after reading this blog post you'll walk away wanting to know more about this young ball of energy.
Where do I begin!? Justin Bieber literally came out of nowhere, there was no warning, no introduction, just BAM polished sandy blonde hair and an angelic voice. We're used to Disney introducing our young stars, but in Justin's case Youtube actually put him on. He's Canadian which puts a smile on my face since I spent a few years living there, and not only can he sing, but he's practically an android. He fits nicely into the Michael Jackson, Usher, Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown category, we could always use more of those!
His first full length documentary, Never Say Never, following his Diary documentary that aired on MTV last year comes out tomorrow in 3D (completely unnecessary, but SO amazing). Its a guaranteed #1 in the country type deal.
However, to avoid being attacked by the hormone crazed tweens, I will not be seeing it in theaters, I can wait till it comes out on DVD, perhaps Blu Ray? (They would.)

Couldn't stop humming this while writing this post! And am I the only one noticing Vampire Diaries Katerina Graham's cameo in the video? Enjoy!

Nomm Nomm Nomm !!

Just thought I'd share my very tasty, warm meal I devoured today at my internship. Half a Smokehouse Turkey panini, French Onion soup, and "complimentary" French baguette from Panera Bread (glad i didn't eat that, or I would have busted out of my pants). And if you noticed the keyboard in the background, I was updating Ma Garde-Robe and researching vintage fur coats that a client consigned.

And here is the blog post I promised from my internship at KIC Thrift Boutique. Enjoy!
