Fashion Findings

Since I am still a student (unfortunately), it pains me to say midterms are coming up. Shoot, I can't even believe that we're basically half-way through the semester already. O well...those of you who are "going through" midterms, you will be in my prayers and "In bocca al lupo!" Yea I know, I know. You're thinking, "what the hell does that mean?" It's the Italian equivalent of an American saying, "Good luck!" or "Break a leg!"

FANTASTIC QUOTE FROM THE GREAT VIVIENNE WESTWOOD

"There's this idea that somehow you've got to keep changing things, and as often as possible. Maybe if people just decided not to buy anything for a while, they'd get a chance to think about what they wanted; what they really liked."
~Vivienne Westwood

Found in The Coveted, by way of Telegraph UK

I think this quote is very important for fashionistas, especially student fashionistas. In all seriousness, most fashion-student gurus cannot truly afford to consistently be decked out in the highest quality, trendiest pieces as soon as they come out. And most likely that's not who you are, or at least it's not projecting who you are....your personal style. We need to really explore what our personal style is, despite what the trends are or what is "in" right now. Really tap into your likes and dislikes, and buy pieces that fit the mold YOU created. Number 1, you'll save money! Number 2, you'll be able to purchase high-quality items because you know most likely, you're going to wear it for a long time because you absolutely LOVE it! Ms. Westwood is right. We need to stop consuming for a minute, and meditate on pieces we loved throughout the years...NOT just liked.

YAY FOR L.A.



Los Angeles Fashion Week kicks of in two days! October 12- 18, LA Fashion Week Spring 2008 at Smashbox Studios is in full effect, packed with wonderfully talented L.A.-esque designers. This is my fav fashion week (I know...call me crazy)! I like NY fashion week and I like all of the European fashion weeks, but L.A. fashion week is my baby. I like it because it's interesting and lots of indie-ness going on. And of course because it's my hometown!

Don't live for the weekend, live for the entire week!
Ciao folks!
