Why You So Obsessed With Me?

There is no amount of basic cotton T-shirts that would every be too many. The perfect white tank top or t-shirt is one of my favorite obsessions. Black and heather grey are also among my personal favorite color options for favorites.

Spending $90 on a V-neck shirt might sound unreasonable to some, but if I had the money I would love to splurge on the basics. How many times are you going to wear that dress you bought for a wedding that was close to $200 dollars. How many times will you wear a plain white t-shirt? That's what I thought, it would be more than worth it.

A tribute to my love of the basics:

Paint the Walls

I recently read an article about Charlotte Ronson's apartment and how she decorated it. There were photos of her apartment and an article accompanying the images by Lili Dialo, the author of this book:

I instantly became enthralled with the idea of myself painting walls and sanding furniture that I found at a flea market while re-painting it bright colors. Who am I kidding, this will probably never happen. I am however interested in the idea of the book and am considering purchasing it.

One reason I enjoyed the book (besides the glossy colorful apartments of perfectly styled "eclectic apartments") was one special decorating tip:

• Organize your books by size or color so that they don't look cluttered on the shelves.

Oh! I could manage that! New goal organize books by color or size and have them displayed in tall narrow book shelf*.


*in the fantasy the book shelf is one I hand sanded and then repainted a whimsical color

This book holds my apartment fantasy...Buying the book may be the only part of the fantasy I full fill, but hey I can dream.

The Return of Kiki

One of my favorite blondes was recently featured in Blackbook magazine recently. Loved the photo shoot, makes me want to cut my hair and wear green eye shadow as every day make up....Hair cut might be under actual consideration.

If you follow this blog you are not surprised to see another Kirsten Dunst post. How can you not love her?

Seeing Spots

Leopard print has always had a little piece of my heart. Recently, I saw The Graduate and I was obsessing over Mrs. Robinson's leopard fur coat.

  Then I saw Mia Wasikowska's photo shoot in the January 2011 edition of Elle where she sports a fantastic leopard coat as well.

Everywhere I look there are wonderful leopard print coats and I want one of my own. Add some leopard to your life and your wardrobe.

Sweater Song

Knitwear! Lately I have just been obsessed with knit wear. I don't know if its the cold weather in NYC or not, but everywhere I look there is a new sweater that I begin to obsess with.

After seeing the "Back to December" music video by Taylor Swift I became obsessed with her outfit. Who would become obsessed with a white tank top and a think knit cardigan? I would. That pretty much describes my dream outfit. Basics with a thick knit sweater....Love, I've come undone.

Remember When I Blogged?

I remember when I last blogged. It was 2010 and September. Given it is now 2011, I am long over due to start posting again.  I am starting it up again with a renewed level of dedication. Part of this is that I have now entered a new phase of my life where I am no longer interning, working, doing homework, going to school and not having  a second for myself ever (as I had been the last few months).

Currently, I have started my first full time "real" job in fashion as I have now graduated college. Now that we are all caught up on me, I can return to the pretty and the ugly.

Let's start off with a quick look at gorgeous Proenza Schouler's Spring Campaign. Love.
