A Salute...

This summer, army green is totally in, and believe it or not this is not an easy trend to pull off. I personally wanted to buy this perfect army green cardigan from Target the other day but as you can see in the about me section, I am flat broke til I start my new job at the local library. Until then all I have left is fantasies...so here are a few ways I think the army green trend should be shown off.


  • Cropped cargos. I know cargos aren't exactly high fashion but I own a pair and they are so comfortable and simple so you can add other wild items to spice it up or just put on a loose white shirt and stick with the basics!

  • Hobo bags. Do I love my hobo bags...I tend to carry a lot of junk in my purse so the large size of these is perfect for me, but if you prefer a smaller size be daring and try a trendy fanny pack. Fiona from Burn Notice(one of my favorite shows) pulls them off very nicely.

  • With Doc Marten's. Now these boots are not my favorite...I personally think they are tacky and a little poser-esque for the punk scene, but don't let that stop you from trying them out! Miley Cyrus and Dakota Fanning wear them well.

Okay that is it for today, I might come back later and add some photos to show off this trend.


A la Prochaine!

Here Goes Nothing...

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while now and I finally decided to just do it. I don't know what I will be doing specifically but I do know it will be about fashion. Fashion is my love and has been since the ripe old age of 9, when I got my first sketchbook and decided to draw a dress. Wow was that an ugly dress, but that didn't stop me from drawing more. I want nothing more than to be able to sit in a loft in Paris with giant windows facing the Eiffel Tower and design beautiful dresses for beautiful people. I have a long way to go but I know I will make it. This blog will be a diary of my journey through the exciting world of fashion, I will critique, learn, and just have fun.




I have decided to set some goals.

  • I will add a new post everyday even if it is just a picture of my outfit.


  • I will make at least one of my designs by the end of they year.


Those are my goals so far, I might add more later.



My outfit today:



I have on a green tank top from American Eagle, a high-waisted mini skirt with belt from Forever 21, a boyfriend cardigan from Target, and sandals from Target.


The skirt, cardigan, and shoes are some of my absolute favorite pieces of clothing in my closet. The skirt is extra high-waisted on me because I have very defined hips and it's impossible to get it any lower than it is in this picture, I know from all the pulling down I try to do when my mom complains about the length. The cardigan is so comfortable and it goes with pretty much anything, it's not a new trend but I wouldn't considered it a faux pas. The shoes are fairly new, only 20 bucks at Target and OMG are they comfortable, I'm not sure if anyone can say that about 4 1/2 inch heels, but they really are, and so easy to walk it.


I know the lighting is pretty bad on this picture but I couldn't tell until I put it on my computer and by then it was raining. That's Florida weather for ya.


Okay that's it for today!


A la prochaine!
