new blog

It's been a while. I don't know why, but I've sort of lost the motivation to post on this particular blog of mine. I guess I just felt it was too messy. So, I've started another blog that's more simple and I hope that all you will continue to read and support my blog there. I really appreciate it!

Love,

Shirley


PS. I will leave this blog here though, as I've written nearly 600 posts over the course of three years on here! 

the spectacle of nobility

Words cannot describe how delighted I am to see Julia Stegner walk in a Spring 2012 show! She's been my favorite model since forever, and there hasn't been much of her around recently in editorials and runway. Although it does make me smile when I see her Maybelline campaigns. Here is the most recent editorial of her from Vogue Japan October 2011! 


I really hope she shows up in Milan or Paris.

just cause it's fashion week

How many browser windows do you have open at the moment for online window shopping? None! I'm trying to be good to my wallet. 

What's on your iPod right now? You really want me to name everything...?

What was the last article of clothing or accessory you purchased? I think they were my Jeffrey Campbell Litas, but Jeff bought me those.

What piece do you wish most to add to your closet at the moment? A cape for when the weather gets cooler.

What current trend are you loving the most? Neons! I know they're everywhere, but I can't help it!

What current trend do you hate the most? Um, I can't think of anything...but there must be something...

What is your fave fashion-centric television program? Sex and the City! 

Who is your favorite designer at the moment? I don't really play favorites with designers, but I always love Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant.

What is your favorite footwear line? This is a toughie. I've always wanted a pair of YSL Tributes/Tribtoos, but there's so much variety elsewhere!

How fast can you Name That Model on the Catwalk? I used to be pretty good at naming models, but I haven't been paying attention to all the new girls.


Three words to describe your overall sense of style? I don't know!

How would you describe your winter look? Lots of layers, and I get a bit lazy. 

What will your look be this spring? I have no idea what I'll be into by then, but I imagine there'll be lots of color and prints. 

What trend do you see becoming the biggest come spring? From what I've seen from the past couple days of fashion week, it looks like a lot of colors and prints...

What's your pick for the "it" tech gadget of the moment? My iPhone? Although I feel like tablets are really "in" right now.

Who is your pick for the most stylish "it" celeb? Diane Kruger for events, and Rosie Huntington-Whitely for candids. 

If someone handed you $10,000 where would you spend it? I'd go on a vacation to Paris and spend it there.

Favorite shopping destination? I can't really have a favorite if I haven't shopped in a lot of places - so it's Boston, I suppose. 

What are you reading right now? I just finished One Day and I'm planning on seeing the movie.

Favorite snack? Sour cream and onion chips (with ruffles). 

missoni for target

Ever since it was announced that Missoni was doing a collaboration with Target, I have been keeping track of everything related. I've never been so excited for any other designer collaboration before! Today is Fashion's Night Out, and if I were in NYC I would have definitely been waiting in line for their pop-up shop. However, since I'm stuck here, I'll have to wait until the collection hits stores and online next week. I've made a list of my favorites, and hopefully they have them in stock at my nearest Target store!

So, when can I move in?
