I Am So Over It

Totally over being 'trendy'.

I want a lasting wardrobe.

Just thought I'd share that tid-bit and a link to my Polyvore page.

So you can be in with the 'in crowd'.

Keep up.

We're Going to College! Maybe.

Chicago, here I come. Let us cross our fingers.

I'm ready to take the next step in my life, meaning moving out, going to college, etc.

I'm mostly worried about my cat. I'll have to get him a buddy so he won't be lonely.

So, Harrington School of Design, it's gorgeous, it's vertical, it's in an amazing city, I want it sooo badly.

I had my first phone interview this morning, and my second one later this evening.

Wish me luck in two ways, getting this college thing snagged and convincing my dad Captain needs a friend.

Fashion posts soon.

XOXO,

What a Girl Wants.

Poor Amanda Bynes. (see title).

I want to completely change my sense of fashion to be more comfortable and more of my own.

I don't want to buy trends that I'll throw away next season, although my age statistically dictates I will.

I want to be more mature in my fashion.

Every (maybe) Thursday I'll check off or add things to my "New and Improved Wardrobe" list.

1. A perfect pair of bf jeans.
2. A perfect pair of black jeans. Not gray, not faded. Black.
3. Casual, thick sweater.
4. Comfortable t-shirts in my favorite prints.
5. A pair of long term ballet flats.
6. A heavier weight jean jacket.
7. Perfect leggings.

I say perfect, because I have a body shape that hates jeans. All hips, butt, and thighs with a smaller waist. Lots of gapping at the waist or "it wont go past my thighs". I hate jean shopping.

There will be more, but I plan on taking a shopping trip sometime this week.

XOXO,
Babette

Terribleness

I'm getting bad at this blogging thing.

I'm sick. Pity me.

I spent a lot of time at the zoo last week.

Here, have some cute.

Sleepy Red Pandas

The fish are my favorite.

He stared me down for a good five minutes.

Who doesn't love Giraffes?!

You can't be mad now. 

Hopefully regularly scheduled blogging will make a comeback.

XOXO,

Babette

Some Trends

After Fashion Week, we're probably all a bit jumbled on what we should incorporate into our outfits and what we shouldn't.

For example, there was a "nipple trend" on a lot of runways.

Photo Cred: MR

Honestly, I don't advise or encourage the nips to be out and about this coming spring.

The no pants dance, and the extreme print pants.

Diesel Black-Gold, Marc Jacobs, Theory, and Gerlan Jeans

Peter Pilotto

And Embroidery. Your grandmother's favorite trend will be back this (fall&) spring.
I'm not elaborating.

A few blogs with great trend posts:
Man Repeller 
Puseblog 
(Great for bag trends (as indicated by their name)).

Go forth and bare those nips, and remember to shave your legs!

XOXO,

Hiatus.

So, I've been on a bit of a hiatus.. Sorry about that.

I've been finishing up school, and now that I'm graduated, I'll have more time to spend working on this!

New post, soon.

XOXO,
Babette
