the one with the girls @ 12/11/09


The night was held at Punk (notoriously famous, i know it from kate moss and lady gaga performed last year)
We all had about 5 of those orange drinks... they were called the "swishys" in honor of the night! so delish! (eline, helen, me and sara)
me and sara, my first cupcake of the night and surely not the last!
everyone was so friendly, my friends and i even got to dance with one of the girls working the event. she told me she had only gotten 3 hours of sleep after a flight in from switzerland! had a nice chat with the in-house stylist about how to wear one of my tops... met some amazing bloggers and their friends.
these photos were taken by the event photographer more photos @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/franhales/4174482239/in/set-72157622845997229/
stuffing our faces with sausages, champagne, white wine, cupcakes, and little mince pies?
above- photo with mother nature! people drew all over her (on purpose) because no one loves her!! she is the reason girls get their periods!
me and my friends: (eline, helen, me, sara, and htat)
in the end, i got a large orangey tee and a really small vest with ruffles. my friends and i were so busy drinking and socializing that we hadn't realized the swishing had begun! we noticed after 5 minutes, and when there is a room full of fashionistas heading towards racks of clothing... that almost like being 30 minutes late! There were so many amazing items... i had picked out a laced blazer, but another girl took it from the other side of the rack! then i had seen this white jacket, and another girl took it right off my hanger! i probably should have been more aggressive! haha, but it's kinda hard when your holding a cupcake in one hand and champagne in the other!!
The event was glorious, i didn't spend a penny! left with two new (well new to me) tops and some great memories. although, i missed out on the goody bag :( apparently, some girls that weren't supposed to take them did... oh well, still a great night!

Having lunch with two of my friends today in Soho @ The Diner, it's American styled... and absolutely delicious, so looking forward to it. Christmas party tonight... saturday and sunday.. and then Monday I'm back in New York for X-mas! 3 more days.

loss for.. pictures! @ 12/10/09

The badge that they gave me!
Last night was the insider swish party where a bunch of bloggers and their friends came along to Punk in Soho for some swishing fun! Free drinks all night, even into the club hours... the cutest most delicious cupcakes, free boxes of tampax tampons (that's always a plus hehe), and so much more. I had a wonderful time dancing the night away with my friends and the new ones that I met. Unfortunately, because the club was so loud.. and the fact that everyone was intoxicated, finding out what everyone elses' blogs were didn't work out so well. I'm going to have to find a way to track them down! hehe, so many pictures. I've got about 200 on my camera and the photographer from last night has just uploaded 80 and has said there's more coming tomorrow. So I am going to post pictures as soon as I can figure out which ones to post, because surely I cannot post all (300) on here!!! Thank you to Nicola Jackson from 1000heads and her team for inviting me to such a wonderful event and to Tampax for helping girls outsmart Mother Nature! xx

days of magic @ 12/9/09

Fashion Revolution (SHOWstudio) at Somerset House, if you haven't gone yet, I strongly suggest you do. I think it's on until Dec 20th... when I went I literally had 40 minutes to see everything which is why I don't think I liked it very much. But I will try to go again so I can properly see each piece of art. I think it's worth it if you can spend at least 2 hours there.
above- is Naomi Campbell and all those squiggles are from my friends and I
below- listened in on ms.cole, ms.donaldson... and irina on their phone conversations. it's pretty weird to listen to their voice because it's not what you would've expected them to sound like.
cool cool cool cool cool
gimme them lips! I only recognized one signature, Kate Moss (below)
got to watch a live photo shoot: a big backpack, guy in wig, men in suits head to toe, etc. there was no flash photography- hence the dark photo.
how much does that middle dress remind you of project runway, the one where they had to make garments out of car stuff? i can't remember if that was the one with christian and jillian?
@ cafe de paris with some of my friends :)
I'm so glad to be done with school for the time being. It was really a hectic weekend trying to finish everything, and thank god I finished! Today I got my new brief (information on the next project) and I am totally... not looking forward to it. It has to do with uniforms... and it's just so different from my last project which was with Volcom. I guess I just need to get some form of inspiration, which I think I'm going to have a hard time doing. I have my last lecture tomorrow, lunch with some friends and a rooftop christmas party on friday somewhere in Old Street... and I have my assessment on monday (so nervous to find out my grade for the unit) and then I go back to New York that evening! This week/weekend is surely going to fly by and before I know it I'll be back in NY, sitting in the snow... which reminds me, I need to start on my Christmas shopping!

tonight is the blogger swishing party in soho, really excited to have been invited and see all these other london bloggers! will post some pics tomorrow or something!

the one with the italian @ 12/8/09

Just to mention: How adorable is this girl?! The photo above, with her Barbie pink bag!? It's like the perfect feminine piece to go with the blazer suit, which by the way is something I need to get my hands on. Maybe I'll have to buy an extra large Men's blazer and then alter my way down while keeping the length? It's the only thing I could think of...
3rd look with the sailor strips and bell bottoms, to die for. That's an outfit I'm so envious of because I know I could never pull it off! 5th photo, her stance is weird and makes her look old or like a young Coco Chanel, I know that doesn't make sense... but in one way she looks like Coco Chanel there and in the other she looks like a hunchback! I'm so weird.


It's crazy how she can go from the whole youthful, causal look and step into dresses like these and show off a completely different persona. Elegance at its' best.


I'd like to get a pair of those snakeskin trousers (last photo, above).


I'm surprised this is my first time seeing those boots (the ones with the floral design).. although I cannot be 100% sure they are not tights. Lovely, and if they are boots, who are they from?

I don't know anyone that can pull off yellow pants like those, that aren't even skinny jeans (but even the yellow skinny jeans I have seen are not flattering on the people that I've seen wearing them), and those yellow shoes, really amazing! That's when you know you're a true fashionista, when you can pull off the most outrageous colors/styles and make them look... like everyday wear and if you can manage to wear the same colored shoes with the pants- that's just a double star! The last photograph (orange-red dress) is exactly what I am talking about, this Italian sexiness that always prevails. She's almost completely covered up and she looks stunning! Lucky girl. (tfs images).

the one with the ostrich @ 12/7/09

what a fricken beauty. i've never really been into bags like these (the ones with the weird textures). a few of my aunts had/have bags with that weird dot texture and i always thought it just looked kind of disturbing... this bag has changed that all. Chloe oversized Ostrich textured leather duffel bag in sand. There's only three bags I want right now: the Givenchy black oversized from last season, the Proenza Schouler satchel (in my last post) and this chloe! its over $1,000 sold at intermix (and probably other places as well). I just know that it is 866.72 Pounds at Intermix in London... I think this would make a great christmas present wink*
I've finished my fashion design project for this term hallelujah! i actually finished everything at 7pm last night, yay for no procrastination. but then I had an essay to write for cultural studies... thats where it got bad. I started the essay (and reading 9 books) at 10pm. I ate dinner, then a snack, watched Glee, and then at 1pm started the essay for real. I continued writing until 6am. I am currently at school waiting to hand in the damn thing, I can't wait to get all of this stress off my back! Going out tonight to celebrate all my hard work with some of my friends, pretty excited about that considering I've been a hermit this entire weekend working! xx back to new york one week from today, i hope it's warm. although, that's doubtful.

furnished @ 12/5/09


left to right: chloe leather tote with chain link; proenza schoulder large croc satchel; givenchy large glazed nightingale; YSL crumpled nappa leather bowling bag; jpk paris pleated satchel; marc jacobs laser flash full shoulder bag

oh how i dream of these bags upon my shoulder. especially the proenza! which is $14,500... the cost of a car, so that bag is definitely just for looking! arg.
i finished my garment for volcom today! and doing a mini photoshoot tomorrow. i'm not much of a photographer so we shall see what happens. i've just got a few more things to finish up... actually to begin. this whole weekend is such a bummer because of all the work i have :( on weds, i've been invited to a vip blogger swishing party at a venue in soho, really looking forward to that! oh and i started watching nip/tuck today, i don't think i like it? i might try another episode... but it kinda freaks me out, especially the whole prison thing. anyways, back to work and eating junk until monday!

lost @ 12/3/09

I haven't gone anywhere, just super busy with schoolwork until Monday!!! Well actually Tuesday will be my last hand-in, but Monday it is! I've been super stressed out lately, living off of bite size pizzas, chocolates, jammie dodgers (i just bought a twin pack and finished it in 2 hours), candies, and water. Did I mention I was stressed? Total weight gain, face is breaking out- basically everything related to being stressed. It's horrrrribbbblllleeeeee! So yeah, I just thought I'd do an update post on my current well-being.
Now back to sewing and pasting random pictures on random papers. !! great.
