i'll be the one to show you the way

hey lovelies!

i've chained myself to my laptop again, hoping to make a dent on the piles of homework that i have to finish. why do professors insist on throwing buckets of papers on us at the end of the semester? i was just taking a bit of a study break and happened across these amazingly gorgeous shoes. i can't figure out how to purchase them on the website and i don't believe i've ever seen this brand in stores before...i'm sure i couldn't afford them anyway...so i guess it's back to the books for now. i cannot wait for this semester to be over. only 2 weeks left!

and now i'm keeping my head in the clouds

again, i'm so sorry that i haven't posted anything in ages. i hate to make excuses but honestly, school and life are just way too crazy right now. in the meantime, you can check me out on tumblr, where i post a lot more frequently. it's mostly just little random things that catch my eye...i really love tumblr because of how simple it is.

hopefully this winter, when i have more time on my hands, i'll be able to work on this blog!! but for now...

a beautiful little fool

the name is taken from one of my favorite quotes from my favorite book of all time. i'll love you forever if you know where it's from!

save luella!!!

so sorry for the more than sporadic posting. school has been way too hectic for my liking, but the good news is, i'm going to be taking 2 months off after christmas, so hopefully i can use that time to work on this blog!

anyway...luella is one of my favorite contemporary designers. i absolutely adore her designs, so naturally, i was so shocked and sad to hear the news that her line is the latest victim of the crappy economy. if you look at back at my first (and only) outfit post, i was wearing my favorite luella blazer. i don't know what can be done, but so far i've done the whole #saveluella thing on twitter and joined the save luella page on facebook. whether it's too late or not, remains to be seen, but hopefully this is not the end of luella!

evoluzione della specie

elle italia november 2008 by ruven afanador

such an amazing editorial. i love the eerie vibe of the whole thing and the model, kemp muhl is absolutely gorgeous. and she's the girlfriend of beatles' progeny, so that makes her that much more rad in my books.

you've got to dance little liar

the woman who kick started my love affair with fashion

your pastimes consisted of the strange & twisted & deranged

ashish for topshop

i am so incredibly tempted to get these. they're kind of ridiculous and absurd, which is most likely the reason why i love them. decisions, decisions...
