fashion can't come fast enough

thats what she said...ha..just kidding. I am all kinds of stoked for Fashion Night Out on Sept 8th and fashion week in general. I will actually be attending and covering a few shows...(i die).

I mean little ole' me from North Carolina will be going to my first fashion show at Lincoln Center..and I was actually invited. HA.

Excuse me while I freak the F*** Out for a moment.

(insert happy dance around my room jumping on my bed and jumping off and nearly breaking my ankle here)

My schedule for fashion week is PACKED and so naturally I went on a shopping spree to compile the perfect ensembles for the biggest and baddest week of the year.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be invited to a show. Heck I never expected for people to even read my blog but I now see the power of the bloggers and people like you and me who actually buy these clothes.

 I've been gathering inspiration fom some of my favorite mags.

Need bright red "look at me NOW" pants immediately.

hmmm may cave like every blogger in the universe and get this neon beauty...not until dead winter though so it can shock the color out of peoples eyes.

Check that $45 dress to the far right...i need it in my life....would go perrrrrfect with My Babies.

I've been thinking about crisp black and whites for Fall sophistication. Saw this spread in Glamour a day after I got this amazeballs BCBGeneration Jacket...I must be on to something.

This will be making an appearance at Fashion Week..perhaps over a lovely flapper dress???

Is it weird that I've already started planning outfits in my head for February Fashion Week?

I.AM.INSANE.

O_o

Marie Claire: You are my Favorite!

I've decided that I am in love with Marie Claire Magazine. I love Elle too but Marie Claire just gets me everytime with their content! I blogged a while back about an article titled "Gap Generation" about gap tooth beauties. This article really made me feel unique and special. I love that there is actual content in the magazine worth reading. The January Issue with Amy Adams looking amazing on the cover was an awesome read!

Yes, I was drooling over this cover, but moreso over that nail polish lol. I WANT THAT POLISH! It looks like the Chanel Polish but I'm not sure.

She looked amazing (love these shoes) and the interview was great!

There were some other really great articles as well such as: "What it costs to be me" which follows 5 women who live in different parts the world and how much they make, how much they spend, and their fashion expenses. It was really insightful and inspiring and made me feel very lucky. This is the substance magazines need more of.

There was also a great article on one of my style icons Stacy London.

I leave you with more photos of the gorgeous Amy Adams! If you havent picked up this issue yet it's a Must Read!

So whats your favorite magazine?

Mine at the moment is Marie Claire followed closely by Elle and then finally Lucky Magazine (cause a girl loves to shop!!!)

XOXO
