<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today it is a breezy 83 degrees in Florida and this is big. It's our first dose of our brief, non-humid fall weather. Last week, I purchased pumpkin spice Keurig cups and pumpkin candles to get my house in the fall spirit like the rest of SoFla. Considering I love fall so much I can't help but get my closest in the fall spirit as well. Fur scarves, leather leggings, and knee high boots have been unpacked today and I don't really care about the temperature because a slight sweat is worth it (PS I'm writing this post outside on my porch and I've already started sweating so maybe I should care a little...). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Every fall I have a new love for a different color. Last year I was all about the oxblood; this year its the dark greens. Now, I have a low tolerance for anything that even relates to camo so you really have to use this color a little more carefully and in small doses (unless you can pull off that whole "one with nature" look). Here are some options that are not at all meant to be worn together!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The 90's grunge look has slowly been making its come back over the past couple years. I wouldn't go as far as the Marc Jacobs Perry Ellis grunge phase from 1992 but I sure have seen some serious takes from it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my opinion, this generation have taken trends and made it there own. We aren't seeing one constant major trend anymore. Whether it's the 70's florals, the 60's mod stripes, or the 90's grunge, everyone is marching to their own drums and its more than acceptable!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lately, I have been obsessing over the plaids. When I walk through work, I realize most every brand is as well. I wanted to share some different options from a variety of brands to help you add it to you closet! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even though I am yet to own any real leather in my closet, I am still loving my faux leather looks even during the summer. Yes, the typical summer trends say "go for the florals", "wear your pastels", I say bring the fall looks into the summer for a great twist of wardrobe! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Considering I currently live in south Florida and it is hotter than hell here, I skip the leather jacket and go for the leather skirt or top. To tie in that bright summer feeling, break out those bright accessories. If you have read my blog, (I know it has been a while), you may know I like to mix in the price ranges and give you all sorts of options. So here is some looks you can shop for when looking for leather during these hot summer months:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It really is crazy to think of the roller coaster I have been on since my last post. But I am officially back and am not giving up on all the hard work I put into this blog over the years. So let me give you a quick recap of my life over the past couple months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past March and April I moved to New York City and completed a marketing internship with Nicole Miller. It was the most hands on internship imaginable and I loved it. It really gave me a glimpse inside what life was like working in the fashion industry. It is exactly how people describe it, fast paced and crazy, but when you are actually living it... it is that much more crazy. Yes, I met some really intense people that gave me a hard time but in the end it was really what I needed to kick start me on a career that I have desired for so long. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then I graduated. It was momentous and it was extremely depressing. Adjusting to the real world after going to a college with a national football title and more bars then classrooms is just as tough as it sounds. Three months later, I am still back at home deciding what to do with the rest of my life. And not to get emotional or anything but getting turned down from the hundreds of companies I have applied to is extremely wearing on the pride. But with summer flying by with me still not on my ideal career path yet, it is more important than ever to keep my head held high. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After digging myself out of the hole of graduation depression, I went back to Nordstrom to make some money for my NYC fund. Although it really isn't where I want to be, I can't help to think I am lucky to be able to live at home and work for a great company all while still searching for my dreams in New York. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So that brings me to now. Something I have always loved doing is blogging. So if I can't have New York right now, my blog is something to keep my head in the fashion game still. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are some photos of my life in New York!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No... when I say the Monday blues I'm not referring to your mopey Monday at work, I'm referring to my new favorite color for fall. Although you are probably trying to hang onto summer as long as I am, the truth is fall is coming around the corner. Since I go back to school for my last year in a couple weeks, I really have to think ahead of the game in terms of my fall closet. The February fashion shows were bustling with new ideas and tons that can be easily implemented into your current selections. The outerwear throughout the shows consisted of a lot of shades of blues which I loved, along with a lot of grey and burgundy. However, to start of my list of fall trend posts, here are some of my favorite runway blues: </span></div>

As you might notice most are in the deeper blue family but a lot of designers did go with a lighter blue such as Rochas, Gucci, Giambattista Valli, and Acne Studios. I love the boxy look with more masculine lines to go with the navy blue family. Just from the pictures you can see the masculine trend and longer hem lines which I love... if all is worn right!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So it's literally raining cats and dogs outside today. So why not do some blog catch up. More importantly its a perfect Sunday for a Sunday Wishes post. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This actually ended up looking like a complete outfit without me even intending to do so. However these are all individual items that I've had my eye on. Working in a department store could possibly be the hardest thing for a die hard shopper like me. Obviously some of these items are more on my dream wishlist rather than a realistic one, but a diva can dream too right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Trend</b>: Lately I have had my eye on the white/black trend. Wearing all white has turned into a sexy trend all year round and I love it. Mixing the two into a monochromatic scheme is genius as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Colors to Watch</b>: White, black, oxblood, navy, grey</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>1. Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Plum Scene $19</b> - Love the plum lip. Wear it with a dark color scheme to add to the gothic tone or wear with a white to give yourself a pop of color. I usually am in love with YSL lipsticks but this Smashbox color is to great to pass up for $19!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>2. Salvatore Ferragamo Sookie Large Leather Shopper $1590 </b>- I was working in the handbag department at Nordstrom on Saturday and couldn't stop touching this bag. The leather is to die for with its silky feel. Maybe one day a bag like this can be mine <3<3<3</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>3. Open Layer Rings on Need Supply Co. $12 </b>- I love dainty gold rings lately. The more on one hand the better... and the more on one finger even better! Of course at this price you have to be careful about turning your finger green :/</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>4. For Love and Lemons' Ricketts Dress on Need Supply Co. $225 </b>- I've been eyeing this dress for a while now and I seriously need it. It's a great white dress to have for a lot of different occasions with its versatility to dress it up or down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>5. Movado 'Large Bold' Watch $650 </b>- So I work with watches all day at Nordstrom and we got this watch in again and I LOVE it. I rarely feel the need to get a watch because it's an annoying investment but this one is just so perfect. I maybe have tried it on a thousand times already too bad its like one of paychecks...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>6. Converse Chuck Taylor White High Top Sneakers $49 </b>- Basically I think every needs a pair of good sneakers to wear around. Everyone seems to be into those Superga sneakers but I still would like to just own the trusty white high tops by Chuck Taylor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>7.Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Illuminating $43 </b>- Again another perk at working in a department store is that you get all the fun makeup samples. When using this sample I fell in love and decided I needed to get the full bottle. Its great for skin that has been exposed to a lot of sun like mine its good for covering up those dark spots and giving me the radiance I want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>8. L. Erickson 'Atelier' Enamel Cuff Ponytail Holder $22 </b>- I came across this on the Harper's Bazaar website (which I spend way too much time on) and thought it would be a great product to use considering how much I wearing my hair in a low ponytail. I love the sleek straight low ponytail you see a lot on runways, which is what I try to go for. This gives it a more contemporary look rather then a "I just didn't feel like doing my hair today" look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Last Week I had the privilege of spending five days in New York City with the fashion merchandising program from my school. Since I hadn't been to the city in a while it was so awesome to see it again from a new perspective. During two of the days we had appointments with different companies such as Michael Kors, BCBG, Kohl's design studios, and more to get different views of the fashion industry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first appointment we had was with Marie Claire Magazine. Considering my love for fashion magazines I was really excited to get a look inside the office. Walking up to the Hearst Corporation building was a sight all in itself. Being one of the coolest buildings in New York it was awesome being able to go inside. Besides Marie Claire, the Hearst building houses other magazines such has Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, and more.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First we rode up the diagonal escalator that lead us to the cafeteria floor where we could see a lot of fashionistas on their break before we then headed up on the elevator to Marie Claire. Once we got inside the office a young lady dressed in converse high tops, jeans, and a jean vest who happened to be the "fashion assistant" showed us a quick tour of the copy room and the closet itself. The copy room was really awesome to see because you could see all of what they were putting together for the August issue and what they already were starting on for the September issue (we got to see the photo shoot for who will be on the cover for September but it's not to be revealed, hence why no pictures were taken in this room). That past weekend they had done a photo shoot outside of the city on a ranch. She briefly explained how they all hopped on a motor home with trunks and trunks of clothes and had to dress models in the dirt and mud (it was rainy) all while keeping track of every piece of jewelry, coat, hairpiece, and anything else that was borrowed. At the end of the day she had interns patting down the hay in the barn to make sure they didn't drop anything. Basically, I think she was trying to get the point across that <b>working for a fashion magazine isn't as glamorous as it seems</b> from the outside. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then she lead us back through the office to the fashion closet. Now, I don't know about anyone else but when I think of a fashion closet my mind floats to the scenes of <i>The Devil Wears Prada</i>. It was far from what I pictured, it was a lot smaller and a lot messier. However, it was still all a girl could dream of with racks and racks of beautiful designer clothing, shelves and rows of amazing shoes, and tables of shiny expensive jewelry. While she was briefing us on what goes on in the closet, there were about 5-8 interns bustling around organizing all the clothes that were to be sent out. Behind me were organized racks of clothes that were recently received and to be used in photo shoots to come. She also told us about her job and how she started as an intern in 2010 (if i'm remembering correctly) and was offered a job eventually with the company. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Coming out of the office made me realize a lot of things but with one major reality check. <b>This is no 9-5 job</b>, if you're working for a magazine you have a massive amount of deadlines that must be met so you'll be answering e-mails till your head hits your pillow late at night. Her example: remember fashion cities are all across the world with different time zones, so borrowing a Louis Vuitton coat straight from the runway in Paris that then needs to be sent straight to Vogue Japan at a certain time and date takes a lot of management and communication to get it done right without messing up your relationship with the company. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the racks that will be used for future spread based on fur (almost tucked that Burberry top in my purse ;) )</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now,<b> how do you get an internship with a fashion magazine?</b> I thought it was a long complicated process, however she made it quite simple. Shes currently finishing up her fall intern list and about to work on spring soon enough. The sooner you apply the better chance you'll get the job when you want it. Also, I'm not sure about other magazines but it's as simple as getting a contact in the company and emailing them your resume to forward to the person hiring interns. Remember it's New York City so there are a ton of fashion students from Parson's and FIT that are able to hop on the subway after classes and volunteer their time easily. To give us some hope she told us she keeps her mind open, some of the people with the best resumes that have interned with other magazines don't have the same drive and passion to want to be there as a random fashion student from Wyoming. So keep your hopes up and find a contact!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">
BUT even after she stressed to us how hands on and intense her job is, it is definitely a job I still keep on my list of possible interests (along with many, many others). If you love the magazine world and love fashion, look into your options but remember the reality of any job isn't always what your picture it up to be!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For a while now I have been against the horizontal strip. There isn't many girls who like wearing patterns that widen their body shape. However, recently the "Breton" stripe shirt has seen a come back and I have had a change of heart; I may even own one already... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After seeing it on sailors in the 19th century, Coco Chanel introduced the design in her collection in 1917. Some of fashion's biggest icons have been captured wearing the pattern throughout the decades. It is such a such simple design, yet almost gives yourself an automatic bold statement. So take a look at some of the pictures through the years and then try it for yourself! Pair it with a nice pair of trousers like Coco Chanel (try a tapered pant instead) or simple skinny jeans and flats like Olivia to give it a chic twist to the nautical vibe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This summer so far I have done a whole lot of nothing. However, I have been online "window" shopping more than an average person should be. I have found a large assortment of these comfortable trousers. Topshop interestingly enough has termed the word "Joggers" for them; I'm guessing this comes from the elastic waistband and the tapered leg. At my first look I thought they were a bit too similar to the "drop-crotch trousers" which has been in and out of trend recently that I never enjoyed. But I've grown to love them and think they are a great way to wear a trouser with more comfort for the summer. Anyhow, they're on many websites at many different price points so I thought I would share a few:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's officially summertime for me which means I'm getting back on the blog train! So expect multiple posts per week again. The beginning of the summer is always crazy with fashion parties and events. We had the Met Gala last week with some of the craziest couture I have ever seen! This week the Cannes 66th Annual Film Festival starts leading us into 12 days of great red carpet nights. And of course as the summer begins the Resort lines start to slowly pile in. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year to start of the Resort runways, Karl took Chanel on vacation to Singapore. The breadth of the line was just as deep as any other important collection with 80 total looks. The mood was simple with white concrete walls with a bit of peeling paint, just the way Karl wanted. "It's a bit of Chanel's history and a bit of influence from this part of the world" said Lagerfeld refering to the inspiration of the line. It really is interesting to see which way the fashion world is turning and with each fashion season you see it pointing towards the eastern hemisphere with a lot of Asian influence.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Since summer has begun, it's time to find those summer outfits that are fit for your summer jobs. For me, I need to find shoes that will be comfortable enough for a long day on my feet. I saw Jeffery Campbell's </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In Love</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> shoe recently and since then I have similar pointed flats in about every price range. They are perfect for the workplace and trendy enough to be worn outside the workplace!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Throughout the weekend I have been trying to stay tune from across the country on Coachella. This weekend there were lots of shorts, hats, and sunglasses to guard from the sun's heat. The usual attendees included Kate Bosworth, Emma Roberts, Diane Kruger, Katy Perry, and Kristen Stewart with boyfriend Robert Pattinson. So for all you weekend 2 goers here are some of my favorite looks to get inspired from; think cool, bohemian, or layered and you'll fit right in:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On this rainy Sunday here in Tallahassee there isn't much to do but be lazy and online shop.

Here are few things I have been coming across lately that I absolutely love and they happen to be reasonably priced, enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In two days one of the most exciting music festivals in America will start its first weekend. COACHELLA! Although I can sadly admit I have never been, I wait year round to see what celebrity appearances will be made and what kind of outfits will be worn. Last year Emma Watson, Lily Collins, Kate Bosworth, Karlie Kloss, and Diane Kruger were just some of the fashionistas that showed up to the festival. This year in Indio, California the weather is to be in the low 90's so gear up for three sunny days! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Looks From the Runway: </b>"All dressed up and nowhere to go" - Marc Jacobs. The show took place in a upscale Louis Vuitton looking motel. Models would come out of the faux door, do a lap and return from where they came from. This season Marc did a mix of eras; he said "... some Gloria Swanson and a lot of Hollywood." The show reminded me of people with a lot of money with nothing to do but dress in luxurious clothes. Kate Moss was a good surprise as she walked for the finale. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There were a lot of silk nightgowns and slips covered with the trending mannish coat for the season as a cover. With feathers and lace added to the hems and arm cuffs, it made for a more showy look. I loved the belted blazers with short bottoms that made for a pant-less look. Overall, you could see a resemblance in his own line shown in New York with the relaxed, street pajama look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you ever tried on a coat that was a size too big? Well imagine trying 3 sizes bigger; you are basically swimming in massive amounts of extra fabric. What you just imagined is exactly what some of the designers this fashion month debuted for this coming fall. I noticed many mannish coats with oversized lapels and ignorance towards the woman figure. Although this could come across as negative on paper, on the runway it grew on me. I loved how on some of them it exaggerated the shoulders or in Valli's and Celine's case the large coat was rounded out around the shoulders and the bodice. Here are some of my favorite oversized, mannish coats that were seen around the world during the fashion weeks:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of my favorite shows to look out for during Paris Fashion Week is Christian Dior's. From the first glance at the pictures I was a lot more impressed with his Spring 2013 collection. However at second look at the video he created some really great silhouettes. As with each season, there was a good play with the tailored Dior suit. The strapless, drop-waist dresses were really simple and beautiful as well with a beautiful deep V neckline dress. My favorite part of the collection were the cable knit skirts and tops because it was so unexpected but definitely wearable for the fall season. Overall the color palette stayed within the simple black and whites with touches of baby pinks, blues and some dark browns. Here is some of my favorite looks off the runway:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's hard to ever doubt Alexander Wang's genius. For this A/W collection he really showed his strong points by using different textures and fabrics together. The outerwear in this collection was to die for; glossy leathers, fluffy wool, and amazing furs lead my mind straight to the luxury of his brand. His signature sleek-cool look was continued through his statement shoulder look in the collection. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There might not be anything that makes me happier than seeing 70's glam on the runway. Diane von Furstenburg took it to a whole new level with metallic animal skins, print mixing, and fur details. Not only is the collection very wearable, its sleek and can be very sophisticated. I love how she incorporated her signature wrap dress and added suede to it. Now who is going to get me that metallic snake skin blazer?!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I loved this collection because of the not-so-usual road Ralph Lauren took when creating his story for his collection. With a twist between chic and sailor, I see a lot of potential for this collection for department store buyers. He started out with a black and white monochromatic color palette and smoothly transitioned into velvet dresses of oxblood, blue, and purple. The evening gowns at the end were nothing short of elegant and luxurious and will sure be seen on the red carpets soon to come.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Their website <a href="http://stylemint.com/" target="_blank">stylemint.com</a> is where their tee imagination was able to come to life and I think it is pure genius. Even in the past couple years you have been able to see the simple tee being adapted to contemporary designers.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pinched waists and</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">flared hips were a common theme yesterday at the Giambattista Valli show. Beautiful silk and black tulle were a great combination to make an elegant spring couture show. The color palette ranged from simple black and white to bright yellows. Some of my favorite gowns were gorgeous princess gowns with multi-layered tulle to make them large and in charge. Although he played it safe you can definitely count on seeing some of these dresses on the red carpet.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have always seen Stephane Rolland as a true artist. Although some of his dresses may not be completely realistic to wear they are absolutely stunning and completely unique. The front row consisted of Kim Kardashian, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Yasmin Le Bon, and Paz Vega. The monochrome color palette added to the sophsticated look Rolland went for. I absolutely love some of these dresses and I really hope to see them on the red carpet soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Midsummer Nights Dream was Karl Lagerfelds inspiration. As the models walked through oak trees and pines you could hear birds singing; the theatrics were perfect. Every season I notice Karl Lagerfeld focus in on new fashion trend; this year was the framed shoulders. The structure of the clothes were tailored to perfection. With over 60 looks there was a lot of variety to the collection. The show ended with two identical twins in wedding attire with a young ringer bearer to make a statement about gay marriage which is up to debate in France right now. Overall it was a great show at the Grand Palais!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With spring coming around the corner is it time to re-think the closet full of coats and scarves. Even for me who has summer weather year round it's time to think a lot brighter and even a little crazier for a different season. During the shows in fall 2012 we saw a lot of different trends from feminine tuxedos to Asian inspirations. One of my favorite trends for the upcoming season were the combined prints and textures. There is an unlimited amount of ideas you can come up with when thinking outside of the box like these designers did. Even if you just want to go with a crazy handbag or shoe with a more neutral outfit you will be one step ahead in the fashion world for spring. Whether if its snake print with leather on a dress or florals on a snake textured shoe, designers are thinking of what has never been done before that will draw in consumers to a new day in age. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tis the season for lists! I can honestly say I've spent hours on my computer reading the lists people have compiled for this year. From best books to funniest moments, its interesting to see if you agree or disagree. But to me I can't stop thinking about what a year its been for fashion. With massive trends hitting the runways and streets, the world has seen an array of fashion taken to a new level. Now this isn't to say its been a perfect year (way over the peplum). But lets take a look at 10 moments I think are worth noting and remembering for the year:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Cannes Film Festival is my favorite event of the year (next to the Met Gala) to see what the rich & famous bring to the table in regards to fashion. Diane Kruger, the german actress, has always been one of my fashion inspirations but she took it to the next level during the film festival in 2012. In the picture above she wore a beautiful Giambattista Valli dress but throughout the week she wore show-stopping ensembles down the red carpet including big names like Chanel, Balmain, Dior, Versus, and Vivienne Westwood. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My obsession with Burberry in general is probably unhealthy but when I was watching the show during London Fashion Week (online of course) I was stunned by the show in its entirety. Christopher Bailey is simply a genius between the clothes and the creativity for the actual show. He merged the worlds of country and city and created a magnificent line. About 15 minutes into the show a "thunderstorm" was created and the finale started with all the models carrying umbrellas as it flurried fake rain (while playing one of my favorite songs the Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home)! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After 13 months of no official creative director, Raf Simons was finally given the title in April this year. Previously Simons was the creative director for Jill Sander where he brought minimalism and futuristic elements to the clothing. When giving him his new title the hope was to continue the elegance of Dior but to give it his modernistic twist. During Paris Fashion Week in September he did better than expected revolutionizing the brand for the better. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you read my blog you should know by now the obsession I have with Cara. It started with her Burberry Campaign ad for Spring 2012 with Eddie Redmayne. Ever since I have loved following her crazy life through pictures and shows. However, after she won model of the year during the British Fashion Awards I realized the impact she has had on the modeling/fashion world as a whole. With her crazy personality and her openness to sharing her personal life she has shown another side to modeling. Not only do you see pictures of her eating McDonalds but you get to see the fun side of being a supermodel which isn't the image the world has seen the past couple years. So thank you Cara for making me want to be just like you (good luck to me)!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I heard that there was a mini dance performance at Stella McCartney's Presentation Dinner I was beyond jealous I wasn't there to see it in person. But when watching it online it was a joy to see people like Shalom Harlow, Amber Valletta, and Yasmin Le Bon dancing on tables and chairs in front of fashion's finest. It was a dinner to show off McCartney's evening capsule collection and it was definitely one that will be remembered for years to come.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Being a 90's kid I grew up watching Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen on TV and in films. So the moment I found out they won Womenswear Designer of the Year award at the CFDA's I couldn't be happier. Seeing them grow and develop their brands has been a joy to follow and considering the honor this award is in the fashion world this is definitely a year they will remember. Now on Forbes Top 30 Under 30 they are considered the top competitors in the world for fashion and arts. (and now I'm in the mood to watch <i>Getting There</i>... yes, its on netflix!)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No it wasn't the dress the necessarily got the attention... it was all about the leg. It was the most tweeted about topic the night of the Oscars in February, it even received its own twitter name @AngiesRightLeg. The high slit in the dress made this beautiful black velvet gown by Versace very memorable. I do also believe this started a trend, I started seeing a lot more high waisted skirts with long slits along one of the legs. So Angelina, even though you got quite the banter about the leg, you sure did look gorgeous with just the right amount of sex appeal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year certainly has been crazy but it makes me all the more excited to see what is to come in 2013. Although there were certainly many more fabulous fashion moments this year these are some of the few I will definitely remember for years to come! Happy New Years Eve everybody, enjoy your last moments in 2012 before rushing into the new year!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I pretty much have been M.I.A this past month. Basically sickness and exams took over my life but that doesn't mean I haven't been looking into these new collections. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Overall, these collections have been a great follow-up to Spring 2013. With a lot of moody palettes and awesome prints there has been a lot of personality to them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While looking through the collections I did notice a handful of designers used the conservative pencil skirt. I have always been a fan of the pencil skirt when it is worn in the right way (the tight short pencil skirt isn't so attractive for work ladies). With the length hitting below the knee, it is perfect for colder weather when approaching fall/winter. Also you can see in the Prabal Gurung, the high waist to shin length skirt really elongates the figure. I'd have to say the conservative skirt suit has never looked so appealing till now.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Where I live its not too cold and not too hot. So this always leaves me with the same question when I step inside my closet to get dressed; what the hell do I wear? Whether its going out to dinner or going out for a couple drinks I want to be appropriately dressed for the weather. I put this outfit together based on one of my favorite fashion idols, the one and only Rihanna. I love her sexy, edgy look and I think it's a perfect for a fall look. Bustier tops have been in for a while but adding a good pair of leather trousers makes the outfit all the more trendy. A covered heel with a peep toe add to the edgy style and give into the weather. When it comes to accessories add some fun colors; you can never go wrong with a playful lip and nail color. </span></div>
