Love for Valentino

Over the weekend, my mom and I took a trip to Lenox and Phipps. Phipps, being the home to the mother ship SAKS FIFTH AVENUE, mom and I spotted the new Valentino. Let me tell you, I was speechless! If you watch or are familiar with the CW's tv show, Gossip Girl then you would know who Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) is. The new Valentino that was being modeled on a mannequin is so Blair Waldorf.  The look I see in Valentino's new clothes would be elegant with lace and a little edgy and fun with the leather.  It will be fun to see if in the upcoming season of Gossip Girl (season finale) Leighton Meester will be wearing any of Valentino's clothes.

WWAD?

All of you must know my lovely friend, Audrey Hepburn. I fell in love with Audrey the minute I was exposed to Breakfast at Tiffany's.  I look at Audrey as an all time classic look.

You're probably wondering what does WWAD? stand for. What Would Audrey Do? Whenever I'm not sure about fashion and new looks, I stop and think WWAD?

Audrey Hepburn

Me being a sixteen year old, just two years away from being 18, I've already thought of getting a tattoo the moment I become an adult. Stop. Think of this situation. Hypothesis: If I get this painful, permanent tattoo onto my skin, then my husband 40 years from now is going to adore it. Now, state the question. What Would Audrey Do? Audrey Hepburn, didn't have tattoo. So in conclusion, what is my final statement? No, I would not like a tattoo. I practically just performed the scientific method of fashion.

I am not being fashionably racists towards tattoos though. Their just not my thing. I look at tattoos as art on other people. The Mona Lisa is pretty but I don't want to wear it. And not all tattoos are a discrimination to fashion. There's a lot of people who can rock the tattoo look. Kat Von D from LA Ink can wear her tattoos.

Leslie Caron

Another old movie star who I look up to would be Leslie Caron from another all time favorite movie of mine, Gigi. I wouldn't wear the old Parisian look today. But the way Gigi transforms from a child to a woman is why I love the movie so much. From the dresses, to Gaston Lachaille, and the lessons with her aunt, Gigi blossoms. Gigi is a strong character for women, I think. The way she stands up for herself to Gaston's asking her to be his mistress is admirable. I am also a sucker for musicals too. My favorite song from the movie would be when Gaston sings Gigi.

I have always considered Breakfast at Tiffany's and Gigi as great examples of classic fashion, manners, and all things girl.


If you have seen Gigi what's your favorite song? Or what's your favorite musical, song, band, singer etc? Comment below! Music is another obsession of mine right next to fashion.

-Au revoir! 

Match Made in Heaven

If you read my Falling Forward post then you must have seen the picture of the Peter Pan Collar Tee from J.Crew. The Peter Pan Collar type shirt was on my check list. Anyways, I got it!! Thanks to the wonderful Natalie! She told me that this shirt was out at the J.Crew closest to me and won't be back until the end of November. So I would call me and this shirt a match made in heaven. It fits perfectly and feels wonderful! And it goes with my new straight across bangs.

I can't wait to wear this shirt like crazy! It's fun to have a piece of clothing that you absolutely love. If my house caught on fire and I had to grab three things this shirt would be one of them.

Here is a preview of my shirt. I am in love with this shirt (if you couldn't tell..)      

When it gets warmer, I'll be posting more pictures of this shirt along with many other fall outfits.

My favorite fall fashion, besides the shirt (lol) would be the wedge boots for sure, I am so excited to wear them all fall and even into the winter.          

Comment below and tell me your favorite fall fashions, I'd love to read them!!
