< class="post-title entry-title"> On our last trip to the Salvation Army, my sis and I got hold of a 2003 September Issue of Vogue. We spotted it amongst the sea of magazines that were on this huge shelf - the issue is incredibly huge so yes, it caught our eye quickly. We found this cool article on the 10 Commandments of Fall - definitely stuff I will follow to have the fashion gods in my favor, lolz. I think though they are 2003 advice, they are applicable to any Fall Season, my notes are in red. The 10 Commandments of Fall 1.Be Perpetually Polished-from the tips of your fingers to the toes of your alligator shoes, well groomed sheen is queen. 2.Keep Them Guessing-over the knee boots and leather opera gloves, leave something to the imagination. 3.Take a Deep Breath-waist cinching coats, curve clutching skirts and tight little sweaters are sleek, sharp and positively aerodynamic. 4.Invest in a Chic Party Dress- dance floor sweeping or upper thigh grazing,

I have a feeling that I won't be having that much left over cash this Summer. Why, oh why are designers teaming up with affordable brands?? Ok, it is a good thing, but it's gonna leave me broke! I mean after J.P. Gautier's and Zac Posen's (tho I was kinda dissapointed with Zac's - the prices are a tad out of my league; I am a poor college student after all) collections with Target and now Alex Wang & Vena Cava bringing the khaki deal back to life (and to my closet) I won't have any spending money left over for ice cream. However the pieces are pretty imaginative. Safari anyone?? The designers: The Pieces:

All you need to create something astonishing is hidden in the past. History is a wonderful source of inspiration, of knowledge. I believe this year's Betsey Johnson Collection has this explosion of the New and the Old. I believe that she not only combined elements from past designs (like the flower on the dress - that was pretty typical of her designs in the 90's) but she has a marvelous representation of past decades of fashion history colliding with modern looks and uncontrollable splashes of color in every piece. I just had to pick my fave designs from this Fall's collection to show you all. =) Enjoy!! j Isn't she awesome!! Ok, so I love her style and how she does the cartwheel in every one of her runways; so unique. Oh, tomorrow is finally my 23rd b-day! Yes, I'm ultra excited even though I must go to work and proceed with my everyday weekday tasks, lol. I can't help but feel that I'm getting older and it does somewhat frighten me. Still

This New York Fashion Week was incredible! Ok, there were some designs that did disappoint me like Rodarte *cough cough* but overall every designer had something totally incredible to offer. Fast Forward New York Fashion Week Begins... Rodarte Proenza Schouler was just brilliant! I love Milly's Upper East Side, Gossip Girly looks. Nanette Lepore is dangerously sweet! Oscar de la Renta ... speechless. Love this Phillip Lim number, that pants are incredible! What designs did you Love & Hate this NYFW??
