Happy Halloween!

  So i'm Jewish. But i don't think that should mean i have to miss out on all the fun of Halloween and other such non-Jewish holidays!
  Firstly, here come some pictures from Lula magazine, last year's i believe, that go right along with the theme of this post



  Though on Halloweens of the past, i stayed home and watched a scary movie or two and waited for trick-or-treaters to ring my doorbell, this year a few friends and i decided to shake it up. We took the packed train into NYC for the annual Village Halloween Parade. AMAZING!! I have never seen such incredible costumes before! And it served as serious inspiration for Purim (a Jewish holiday in February-March for which we dress up).

The Empire State Building even dressed up!

When else can you see a vampire princess and a banana walking the streets of New York at the same time?


Peter Pan nimbly climbed up on the scaffolding (between my friends and I and a ninja) to watch the parade proceed down 6th Ave.

  One last thing I wanted to mention is that I'm very sorry for not posting more! School has become ridiculously intense, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to save blogging for the weekends lest it become too much of a distraction!

The Edge of Love

  
  Saw this gorgeous movie a couple weeks ago. The plot is a bit hard to follow until half way through, but the costumes and scenery are beautiful throughout. Basically, it's about two women semi-competing over the affection of a poet, who end up befriending one another. Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller were magnificent. It completely transported me to a different era (the 1940's), and made me wish I had been alive then!


Sorry, Guys

I'm sorry for my lack of recent posts... my computer's being a
butt head and won't let me upload pictures!
I'll be back as soon as possible!

Best Job in the World


  I know what everyone says about models having a really tough job/life. But come on! Who wouldn't want to look like that and have such an exciting career, especially around Fashion Week season. These photos were all taken during Paris Fashion Week, of models looking just as stunning off the runway as on.

Burberry Babe

  Between AP Bio and AP English homeworks... here are some of my favorite looks from the Burberry Prorsum s/s2010 line:
 



  Bonus: Emma Watson, whom I adore showed up to support the brand she's the face of. Looking stunning as always.

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...)
