Zoë's Choices

I took Zoë to the mall & here are a few outfits she styled together for spring.
She decided to work with blazers, pleats, and softer hues mixed with a bold look.

Featured Fashionista: Zoë

Zoë Z is a fellow senior at my high school & one of my very best friends. She is definitely an influence on my style habits- because of her I started wearing scarves. Here is an interview with her:

Question 1. If you can pick 3 words to describe you style what would they be?
 Zoë: Random, Scarves, Simple
2. Do you have a routine/pattern on how you pick out your outfits?

Zoë: Umm, not really. I usually end up going through my whole wardrobe until I find something I feel like wearing, and then I usually change it again, until I usually come up with just a scarf and plain shirt! 3. What is your favorite season?
Zoë: My favorite season is any season that I can wear a scarf and sweater in!
4. Favorite influences: band/designer/artist/brand/etc

Zoë: Umm, I don't really have any influences. If I find something I like, then I get it, simple as that! I really like American eagle scarves because they have cool patterns, and I like places that have a vintagey feel.
5. What are you looking forward to most about this spring regarding style changes?

Zoë: BLAZERS!!!!
6. If you could dress anyone who would it be & for what type of event?

              ex) Britney Spears for an awards thing
 Zoë: I would probably dress Zooey Deschanel for some type of awards thing.

Beautiful April

April showers bring May flowers, so even with all the gloom I can find inspiration all around me. First off, my calenders. I have a France calender and a Barbie sketch calender. Both are interesting and fun.
Here is my Barbie one, definitely a spring look with the shades of pink and yellow. I love the whole ensemble with the hair and flowers all over.

Here is my France picture for April. My France calender also gives a quote for each month. April's is bu Victor Hugo, "It is in Paris that the beating of Europe's heart is felt. Paris is the city of cities." I don't know about you but I love this quote. When I went to Paris I fell in love with the city, it is truly magical and breathtaking. There is so much history and art everywhere you look.

Do you have a go to source of inspiration?

A New Found Love

While I was shopping I kept finding simple dresses that I adored. Who could the designer be? Calvin Klein. I couldn't help but try on a few of the dresses. I even bought one.


I love the layers and how they are not all clear cut across the dress, one goes at an angle. I also like how the last tier is turquoise and not electric blue. It adds a little pizzaz to the dress. It's really soft and comfortable, not clingy like my initial thought was. I can't wait to wear it out! I will probably be blogging more about Calvin Klein, so be on the lookout.

Spring Florals


I went shopping yesterday and I found some lovely spring dresses. One of which is a floral print with an almost drop waist. I wore it today with a black short sleeve sweater & bright red lipstick (L'Oreal's Red Fatale). The dress is by Kensie and it's really comfortable.
Besides how I wore it today, I would love to pair the dress with my red blazer and some layered necklaces.

Prom 2012

This year's prom is going to be amazing. Senior year! I have a great group of friends, we're eating at the Cheesecake Factory, and the best part is my dress & heels ;)
My dress is strapless with a goddess feeling to it. Here is a picture of my dress:
My friends say it reminds them of a storm.

Here are some close up pictures:


Here is what the beading looks like. I really love how the larger beads have print painted on them. I think it adds something special to the dress.

And finally, here is a picture of the heels I am planning on wearing:
