Aspirations

I personally have no aspirations to become a fashion designer or anything of the sort, I think to be one you have to be ridiculously meticulous, and almost a perfectionist, tied together with a wicked imagination, three things that I am not. But I got really excited when a employee of a casting company contacted me about casting aspiring entrepreneurs in fashion in an upcoming Kelly Cutrone TV series, and I love that I am able to share this with my readers ! So here is the info, let me know if you get in! And remember, you can't get anywhere without a lot of effort and hard work, so if you try out for this, please pour all you have into it!

so recently i began reading Nina Garcia's "One Hundred things that every stylish woman must own" and I really loved it. so i decided to make my own list of things that i do not have that Nina suggests, and i came up with 42 items. so, i am going to make a new blog post each time i get something off of my list, and i am pretty excited to do this. Here is my list, i suggest you make your own, its a lot of fun :). oh and also, my goal for this list is to get some of it from the salvation army and goodwill, those stores have so much to offer and it love finding stuff there!


  1. a-line dress
  2. ankle bootie

  4. black opaque tights
  5. boyfriend cardigan/cosby cardigan (a salvation army find for sure)

  21. patent leather gloves
  22. havannas
  23. hobo bag
  24. kahakis
  25. knee boots (i think this may be the hardest, just because they are usually very expensive)
  26. little black dress

  28. a man's white shirt
  29. minnetonka moccasin (okay, i am really excited to get a pair of these)

  39. trench coat (like an olive color, but not a creepy one, a cropped one!)
  40. vintage watch (another goodwill one im sure!)
  41. wide leg trousers
  42. matching yoga outfit/track suit.
So just think of this as a mini bucket list, just i want to finish it by summer. I really enjoyed doing this because i was able to do an inventory of what i have and what i still want. do it! let me know how it goes!

baby its cold

it is so cold out!

 my favorite coat this season:





the camel pea coat - love this.

now for guys : i think that many guys think the pea coat is too feminine but i love it on a guy, it shows that he knows how to dress, and that is attractive to me.



"how you doin'?"
haha, stay warm!
