It's not easy being green....

Lately, as I look for clothes I have been keeping one key factor in mind. Is this organic/sustainable? Yep, I have been caught up in the "green craze" that has been sweeping the nation, and I am loving it! However, because of its brisk ascension into popularity, finding "green" clothing has been slightly expensive. Particularly for a soon to be college student who is despretley trying to save money!
Shockingly, WalMart has been my saving grace. They offer 100% organic cotton tees and tanks in several colors. They also have organic towels and bedding (which is great for dorm room shopping)

The world of summer fashion has officially hit my doorstep! I have been living in sandals, skirts, dresses, and shorts. Managing to stay cool while at the same time, exposing the rest of the world to my "fish belly white" legs...as my mom so lovingly refers to them!

Wow...I have problems

The whole "I am determined to blog more" thing, just doesn't seem to work out well for me. Ces't la vie I guess! Anyway..consider it a brief hiatus and now think of me as officially back (at least until further notice).
My life has changed considerably during the past few weeks. I graduated from high school just last night, and now feel totally different. I never thought that would happen to me, even though it was a big occasion. I feel like I have passed into the stage known as adulthood. I have entered into the realm of responsibility, and I am starting to feel the "weight" of it if you will...
Enough of the serious, and into the fashion...
I have had a variety of outfits these several weeks...but I only managed to take pictures of a few of them. I just got a camera for my grad. gift, so all of that will soon change!

La Dee Da....

So..I should really work on posting more often. I feel as if I haven't been on in ages.
So, Spring is most definately in the air and I believe I have a case of spring fever. When I can't stop frolicking at work, you know that there is some sort of problem.
But it is a problem that I would be loathe to part from.

Ahhh florals..I have been addicted to the lovely flowers which have been popping up everywhere lately. It is a very new phenomenon to me, but I am loving it!!!

Well..until next time *which will hopefully be soon!*

The Acadamy Awards....Red Carpet Dahling!!!!

This is the one award show that I can actually stand to sit through.
I think part of the reason, is the Red Carpet Pre-show..
If fabulosity were actually a word, it would apply to this event.
Here are my best *and worst* picks of the night.

Fabulosity:

Has Amy Adams been in anything other than "Enchanted"?? Loved this dress, and the bag was simply splendid!

I loved the unique quality of this dress. I am not generally a huge fan of red dresses, but this one took the cake!

So this was probably one of my favorite dresses of the night! I loved it. The details at the bottom were great, and I loved how she had her hair in a ponytail! Tres Chic!

Cameron caught a lot of flack for this dress, but I really like it. The color is so soft, and the design so simplistic, that you pretty much can't go wrong with this!

So Ellen Page just looked cute! I loved the flapper-esqe dress!

Another Dress that I absolutley loved!!! loved the nude color, and I thought the necklace made the whole thing look very eclectic, which I love!

I had to post my favorite guy!!! I was unsure of who he actually was when he first came onto the carpet, but i knew that he looked good! I thought that Javier was pretty much the best dressed guy in the place!

I am sorry that the images are so small...however I am sure that you get the general gist!
Next time I will post some outfits, if I can get my camera up and running that is;-)

Outfits....

Here are three outfits that I have adorned myself with over the past couple of days....

Details:
Shirt:Forver 21
Pants: H&M
Scarf: Thrifted

Shirt1:Van Heusen
Shirt2:H&M
Shirt3:Old Navy
Pants:Thrifted

*I was also wearing GORGEOUS black boots....unfortunately, they are unable to be seen in this picture....Drat you mirror!!!!!
Thanks for all the comments by the way!
You guys rock!
Until next time!

Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear

So....I was perusing the plethora of fall collections, and I just had to post some of my favorites!

Betsey Johnson:






Vera Wang:



Temperley:













Aren't they lovely.....I am particularly in love with the Alice Temperley colors and shapes!!!!

I should be studying but i really don't care!

Today, I went to the FABULOUS king of prussia mall for the first time....(Tragic??? yes I know). While I was there, I discovered the absolute thrill of Urban Outfitters....I did not realize that I had such a fantastic store right at my fingertips. Not only did it have fantastic clothes, they had fun books, cool music, and stupendous decorations. Seriously, as soon as I got home, I had the urge to paint my whole room and decopouge everything I could get my hands on!
Here are my purchases from the Mother of All Stores.



These are acutally snakeskin, but I couldn't find a picture of them!



Until Next Time

Dress For Less

It has been a short while since I have posted on this lovely blog, so if I have any readers, then I apologize to you!
Christmas was delightful, and I have been taking advantage of the FANTASMAGORICAL after Christmas sales.
In other news, Masterpiece Theatre is starting a Jane Austen Extravaganza which starts next Sunday at 9 p.m. Being a die hard Janeite myself, I can hardly wait. This long awaited event has put me in a very British Frame of Mind, and therefore, have been walking around my house speaking with a British accent, and dreaming of tall, dark and handsome men in neck cravets.

And now, for some outfits!

This was my outfit that I wore to church today!


Recently thrifted and revamped Louis!!


Erin Featherston from Tar-jay!!! $11. 25 each!!! so siked
Until next time!!!!
