The Best Dog

  A couple weeks ago, I went to my cousin's wedding. The bridesmaids and, of course, the bride looked stunning. But my favorite part had to be the couple's dog, Cash, dressed in a tux, accompanying the groom down the aisle. 

 (That's what i wore)

Grunge?

  Taylor Momsen is a goddess. No joke. Look at her! 

But serious envy aside... I admire her for finding her own niche in the crazy Hollywood industry, even if it's not exactly what was expected of her. And I'm LOVING her updated grunge-chic style! 

   I guess inspired by her personal style, I've tried to branch out and try some grunge-y looks of my own. Sort of. There's only so far I can go! But here are a couple recent looks I've attempted to pull off... what do you think?

3.1

  I generally don't take pictures of what I wear to school, because I generally dislike what I wear to school. My school follows a very strict dress code policy, which includes relatively high necklines, a ban on sleeveless tops, and the restriction that skirts must come to the knee. Today, I happened to really like my outfit, for the first time in ages. I only managed to snap this picture before dashing out the door this morning:

(Jacket from Marshalls. t-shirt from Forever 21. Skirt from H&M. black studded flats from Marshalls.)

The following are 3 outfits that I liked from the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2010 show. I found most of the collection uninspiring... a lot of the same old trench coats... sigh. But these are great:

 

(This feels a little bit Rodarte to me...)

Sun Dress

  An outfit bought for my summer trip. It makes me feel like it's genuinely summer, despite the constant rain.

An outfit post! An outfit post!

  I have decided to follow in the steps of such legends as Alix from The Cherry Blossom Girl, Karla of Karla's Closet, and Marie of Rouge Marie. Not that I could ever measure up to them. 

  So I'm not too good at this yet, but here goes....

Spring...maybe

  The weather in NY may not be too convincing, but it actually is Spring. A few recent purchases to pull out when it starts acting like Spring around here:

 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume

American Rag blouse

Gap sailor-style t-shirt

Dress I got from my friend in a clothing swap

Forever 21 t-shirt and H&M skirt. I'd like to try this as an outfit.
