Up until this point, I've been selecting one look from several fashion shows and categorizing them by the show date, but after I saw this show I had to stop: I couldn't simply pick one look! I'm a huge fan of Betsey Johnson; I love her carefree spirit, the way she incorporates music and vintage themes into her collections, and the fact she's a 69 year old woman still running her brand! This new collection has to be one of my favorites; it screams "Parisian sexy" while still giving off her trademark punk rock feel. Take a look for yourself

My Picks: Spring '12 New York Fashion Week, Day One
Greetings my loves! As many of my fellow fashionistas know, today is the start of New York Fashion Week! As a college freshman, I often dreamed of being front row at a Marc Jacobs or Betsey Johnson show, and now that I'm a disgruntled (soon to be) college graduate that has recently moved back into my parents' home, my dream of being there feels farther away than ever. Despite my pessimistic attitude (that's a whole 'nother blog post!), I'm still ooooohing and awwwwing other today's shows. Here's my top pics...  |

Slave Earrings: Really, Vogue Italia?
So apparently Vogue Italia thinks 400 years of oppression is the next fall trend.
Vogue Italia recently published a post called Slave Earrings on the Shop The Trend section of their website, saying...
"Jewellery has always flirted with circular shapes, especially for use in making earrings. The most classic models are the slave and creole styles in gold hoops.
If the name brings to the mind the decorative traditions of the women of colour who were brought to the southern Unites States during the slave trade, the latest interpretation is pure freedom. Colored stones, symbolic pendants and multiple spheres. And the evolution goes on."
Needless to say I am deeply disgusted, but not surprised. I've never been a huge fan of any edition of Vogue(except for the occasional British Vogue), they always seem a bit dry and out of touch to me. You can read the actual post and comments here.

My Birthday Wish List
I can't believe that in a mere 10 days, I'll be 22! It seems like just yesterday I was buying my first legal drink, and now I'm delving deeper into my 20's. Most people stop caring about their birthdays as they get older, but believe me I'm not one of those people; who in their right mind would turn down cake and free stuff?? Not I! Anywho, here's some things I'm hoping to see on August 29th.

Buy or Bye? The Showstopper Bra by Victoria's Secret
 | |
| Lima at her Macy's appearance |
Cult lingerie brand Victoria's Secret is launching yet another bra to satisfy their loyal customers. This time, it's called the Showstopper, a lightly demi lined bra that the brand claims won't show through clothing. Yesterday Adriana Lima made a store appearance at Macy's Herald Square to promote the new bra, saying, “It shows nothing but your shape and provides no-show coverage right where you need it..."
The bra ranges in price from $45-55 and can be purchased here.
Any thoughts on the new bra? I'm a huge fan of their panties, but their bras never seem to wow me. But then again, I usually only buy bras during the Semi Annual Sale.

Buy or Bye? The Kardashian Kollection at Sears
 |
| Kourtney, Kim and Khloe |
So it has recently come to my attention that the Kardashian sisters (Kim, Khloe and Kourtney) are launching a product line at Sears. Sears is the last place I think of when it comes to fashion (didn't they used to have a line by LL Cool J? Ummm yeah about that....), but I'm sure getting the uber famous Kardashian sisters, who also did a line with
So what do you think socialites; Is the Kardashian Kollection worth shopping? Personally I don't think I should be buying one of these dresses for 70 bucks when the Dow Jones just dropped 600 points yesterday.
