Boys&Clothes

Boys are like clothes. When you get them, you are oh so thrilled to have them; you feel like you have accomplished something because you are now in style. As time goes on, you realize the holes and missed stitches and you come to a conclusion that it wasn't a good buy after all. They end up getting recycled and reused by someone else and you recognize that you're better off without them. You discern that there are so many more and better in other stores. And before you know it, you've fallen in love with that one perfect dress you've been looking for, just spontaneously walking down 5th Avenue one day. It'll happen...

The City

My best friend named Issy just arrived from New York! Being there for a week, going shopping is a given, so I was ecstatic to see what she had brought back. I was in awe when she pulled out a navy blue blazer, a floral pencil skirt, and several beautiful tops. "I must go to New York!", I thought as she explained Time Square and Central Park to me. A hopeless fashionista would no longer be hopeless in a place like that... I now dream of the day I can walk down 5th Avenue in a striped blue and white dress, nude wedges, my pearl necklace and earrings, and a large floppy hat, smile and say, "I am officially, home."

Mornings

It's so tiring, waking up in the morning... But I do love waking up because that means it's time to get dressed, do my makeup, and curl my hair. This morning I chose a classic look: dark-wash skinnies with a ruffled indigo tank, a gray cardigan, my prized salt water pearl necklace, my Tiffany sterling silver bow earrings, & my irina turquoise sandals. I chose to do smokey eyes and do a have up-have down with my crisp, new curls. I consider this casual but my small town in Florida considers this dressy. Sometimes I wish I lived in the 20's when women wore long, beautiful dresses, hats, pearls, and heels and men wore nice, slick suits to go everywhere. Hmm...

Fashiondreaming...

At the moment, I'm sitting at my desktop, gazing out the window, daydreaming. Daydreaming about the world and how it's always changing; how fashion is always changing. How it progresses but also travels back in time, bringing back old styles that the genius designers of our time transform into a mix of new and old. This then leads me to ponder about who in fashion exactly decides what's in style and what's from last season. The magazines, the celebrities, teens like me? Who knows?
