I finally got it!!!!

So the day finally came! My plan with Sprint ended and I got the new Sidekick! I love it and in fact I am writing my post from my phone.
So in honor of my new phone I'm going to do something different. I'm going to show a week's worth of outfits that I wore and what inspired me to wear them.
First:

Now, before I begin telling about this outfit let me explain. I went through this phase where I was obsessed with boots, like deeply obsessed, so now I have tons of pairs of boots that I never wear (I mean why should I when I live in Florida). But on this particular morning I woke up and it was raining so I thought I can finally wear my boots! So I threw on these black ones and everything else just fell into place. place.

Another funny story, I was at JcPenney the other day and I saw this skirt and at first I thought it was cute but then I saw the price tag it was $2.00! I grabbed it up and raced to the register and now I wear it all the time. It especially looks cute when worn as a high waisted bubble skirt with a vintage t-shirt. Looking back on this outfit I'm not sure if I love it but it's okay.

This outfit I had to get two shots because I wanted to show the cuteness of the shoes, they're black booties! I saw them and immediately loved them. I wear them all the time to work (not really to school though because heels on my campus is not realistic). I also love the dress it's a sweater dress and really comfortable.

This picture is kind of funny because actually the pants are blue jeans and the vest is supposed to be black but the picture makes them look backwards. I also had a scarf around my neck (which I stole borrowed from my mom) because I woke up and it was FREEZING! But then it warmed up to the 70's. I also showed my hair for this picture because I loved how it looked that day (the pic doesn't really show how cute it was). I cut my hair right before the fall semester and I'm still trying to get used to it so when I have a good hair style I get really excited. I mean it looks good down but not really up.

It's still a little too warm to be wearing this coat but it's really cute, it's like a plaid fabric and it fits really well and again I'm wearing my favorite booties. I really don't like this picture because I feel like I look like a fat cow. And I'm usually not one of those girls who complains about her weight just so others will say she looks good but in this instance I really think I look fat.

I wore this outfit to work this week and I usually don't dress up much for work because I'm just a secretary but every now and then I like to dress the part. I really like this purse, it's a Kathy Von Zeeland that my aunt bought for me and I have definitely overworn it.

So what do you think? Do you like the outfits, is there something you would do differently? Let me know!

Why do these things always happen to me????

This semester as a way to save money I decided to buy my college textbook online (it was about $50 cheaper) but i opened it last night to read the next chapter (which we have a quiz on today)and it tells me that i need to update the system but when i go to the update page and push update it just keeps opening a new update page!!! It's so frustrating I want to throw my computer against the wall, so i just filed a customer service report (which will take years days but it still means i'm going to flunk this quiz, argh :( Anyway, I just needed a moment to vent (moment) okay, moving on.

So I read recently that Channing Tatum (sigh) proposed to Jenna Dewan last week (his costar from Step Up), and although I'm sad because I always secretly dreamed that he'd marry me one day I'm happy for them. But it got me wondering about marriage, particularly mine. Right now I'm single, in fact there really is no one in my life that I would even consider dating. It's really sad I have tons of boy guy friends (but you know how that goes) I would never date them. I'm sure it's probably for the best though because in order for me to even consider marriage they have to be able to support my fashion addictions haha!!

Now on to happier topics! Although I dread the fall becuase of the return of school there is a bright side (isn't there always). With the fall semester comes the start of new fall shows. I love TV series' especially ones about high school and college. And the fall lineups seems to be filled with them. Here is a look at what I'll be taping this fall:
Monday:


8 pm-Gossip Girl
9 pm- One Tree Hill (I've faithfully watched this show since the first episode and it gets better every season, if you haven't seen it you really should jump on the bandwagon)
10pm-The Hills (Another show I've watched since the beginning and seriously that is just way too much drama to be someone's real life)

Tuesday

8 pm-Secret Life of the American Teenager, but since that just ended last week I'm picking up Lincoln Heights in exchange
Also at 8 is 90210 on the CW so I usually watch one and tape the other or tape both in different rooms.
Also:

9 pm-Greek
Also at 9 Privileged- it seems really cheesy but i might watch to see how it progresses
10pm-The Rachel Zoe Project!!!!

This is what I have so far but I'll let you know if I pick up any others. What do you watch? If you have any suggestions let me know!

Rachel Zoe + Marc Jacobs=Flutterbygirl's Happiness


So...did anyone see the first episode of The Rachel Zoe Project. Well, I did and I loved it! I mean how fun would it be to get paid tons of money to shop for other people?! And she's so funny! I love the way she says "I die!" every time she sees something she loves. And her assistants are hilarious. Brad is so quirky and he dresses amazing, I seriously want that white Ralph Lauren sweater he wore on the first episode. And Taylor is the polar opposite of Brad but she's got amazing style too, and of course it goes without saying that I want every outfit that Rachel wears. If you haven't seen the first episode keep checking Bravo it comes on all the time and tune in on Tuesdays at 10 to see the new ones!

Now on to Marc Jacobs. His shows were, of course, amazing but I have to say I enjoyed the Marc by Marc Jacobs show a little more than the Marc Jacobs one. I guess because it is geared more toward the younger crowd.I wonder when I will make the change and start seeing more mature clothes as more fashionable? ...Oh sorry, I digress. Anyway, he always manages to do something fun and entertaining yet still make it fashionable. Here are some of my fav's from the event

Well I guess I should get back to work.

NY Fashion Week!!!!

Yes, I know its been forever but if you knew the amount of stress I am under in school you would be sympathizing with me, not blaming me. I really should be doing homework right now but I had to let everyone know the great news...Its finally Fashion Week in New York!!!! I know I am so excited! I have been checking Style.com every day checking out all the new styles for the RTW Spring 09 collections and let me just say that they are amazing! Here are a few of my favorites.




1. Rock and Republic
2.Gap
3.Gap
4.Daughters by Obedient Sons
5. Rock and Republic

Of course I am still waiting for the most anticipated show for me Marc Jacobs (sigh). I can't wait to see what he has in store this time around.

Going to fashion week is one of my dreams and I can't wait to finish school so that I can get a job as a fashion magazine editor and get to go to all the shows and get to write about them. I'm taking 3 journalism classes right now and they all require so much reading and writing but since it's something I love to do I really don't mind.

So, I love to look at different bloggers sites and get inspiration. I especially love frugal-fashionista. I love that they show you how to take a celebrity style and make it affordable for you so i was thinking about taking a celebrity or runway style and making it my own and then posting the pics on here. What do you think is that a good idea? Maybe first I should get a camera huh? Oh well, I guess I better at least do some homework.
