Fashion for everyone

Just hanging out with Kate and Adam at Starbucks.
These shoes were a gift from ModCloth. While we were in NYC, we were each given a voucher for a Chictopia dress, but unfortunately it didn't come in my size. The ladies at Modcloth were nice enough to allow me to get a pair of shoes instead, and these are the lovely heels I chose! The order came quickly, I would definitely recommend ModCloth if you are look for unique and quirky peices online.

Gift from Adam Gap cardigan. Thrifted dress, sunglasses and belt.

Modcloth All Around The Mulberry Heel. Gift from nenee socks.

Despite finding out that taking pictures of fashion shows is actually fairly difficult (darn you, catwalking models!), I had a fun time documenting my first real show. Toria and I got ready at her lovely apartment, then headed out to the Westin Bayshore. Drinking gin and tonics (Toria is just holding mine, don't worry she isn't double fisting!), we got snapped by random photographers and chatted away with other guests. We were excited and nervous to dash in for seating., and somehow we managed to snag decent seats! There was an array of designs in the show, from sportswear to formal gowns. I personally liked the fluffy feathery number that you can kind of see in the blurry photo, there were so many feathers!The night was a lot of fun, and it was really nice to hang out with school friends outside of a school environment. I also got to see Julian again! He's friends with the lovely Marisa (wearing the vintage peach blouse), and is a very stylish lad. Check out his blog! We walked away at the end of the night with a lot of fun had, and some lovely swag. A solid one in my books!

After falling deeply, madly in love with this H&M dress in blush pink, I was delighted to find an emerald green version on sale for 10 bucks! Its first outing was the Blanche Macdonald Graduate Fashion Show at the Westin Bayshore, and now I can't decide which color of this dress I'm more in love with.

A couple friends and I had a party, and we all filled out nominee ballots.
I'm still surprised that The Hurt Locker beat out Avatar in so many catergories!
I've seen both movies, they were sort of too different to compare, but it's sweet to see that a great story can beat out a blockbuster (albeit a pretty good blockbuster).

Red Light hat. H&M lace detail t-shirt.
Thrifted skirt, jacket, sequin heels.
Urban Outfitters web tights, leather gloves.

I thrifted an epic cape a couple of weeks ago ($7+$16 alter=very happy camper).

So, in honor of this find, my lovely sister Grace and I took a "magic hour" stroll down to a nearby park and staged a woodland fairy tale...of sorts.

Another cold snap outfit. It was so bitterly cold that day.  The only saving grace was getting to wear my lovely thrifted sweater. It is delightfully cozy!
