BAYYYUM!

So my beloved Weardrobe.com (the folks responsible for the NYC Bloggers' Conference) has this nifty new feature


My girl Krystal got it down:

Not only can you upload and cataloge your own style photos and closet items, but now you can actually shop via their site, as they recently partnered with like.com, an online shopping site that gives you similar item suggestions from a wide variety of retailers.

In other news, I've been featured on Befashionlike.com, trés nifty

And there is some sad news today as well.
Daul Kim, a remarkably talented model, blogger, artist, and style icon has died at the age of 20.
She leaves behind an incredible body of work, and she will be missed

Lies My Weatherman Told Me

Excuses for infrequent posting:
-College application essays (can't wait 'till I'm done with theseee!)
-Lack of a feeling of creativity
-More college apps
-Photobucket hates me (ARGH MY BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED)
-Modeling:

I was outrageously fortunate to have the opportunity to model in a local fashion event called Mass Appeal in which I donned a piece from the line Dazzle Me Formal & was made to look totally badass (I couldn't help but think of YSL fall 2008 when they gave me black lipstick).






Since Buffalo isn't really a center for fashion like, oh say, Toronto (only 2 hours away!), it has been really hard for me to find consistent modeling work even though I have an agency & I've worked with many photographers in the area. Modeling has been an amazing source of connection to the fashion industry for me, so I can't help but feel a passion and love for a modeling job whenever an opportunity comes my way.


As a born and raised New Yorker having only lived in Buffalo for 4 years now, I was amazed and pleasantly surprised to find out that this event allowed me to see a new side of the Buffalo, one that I hadn't thought existed. I mean, Buffalo isn't exactly a fashion mecca, but it's full of creative, fashionable, diverse and realistic people when it comes to style. Oh, and did I mention that Adam Lippes of ADAM is from these parts? All-in-all, I met some wonderful people, got to spread news of my blog a bit, party it out, and managed to not smudge my black lipstick in the process.

By the way, you should check out my awesome friend Matt's blog 'cause he's cool & can rock a black bar on his eye like nobody's business.

In other news...
The weather we are experiencing here is totally not normal for November usually by now we're getting a little bit of snow or it's at least below 50º but it's been in the high 50's-60's lately I'm certainly not complaining :]

From School to Taking Photos in my Attic

Yay! Myself and my fellow weardrobe conference goers have been featured on the Modcloth blog Modlife!
We were all sent the awesome weardrobe LBD to style up, it was indeed fun

I've been totally dying for a pair of over-the-knee or thigh-high boots for ages, and finally, I think I found a pair that I can afford if I managed to save up enough... Behold:

Jeffery Cambpell
I mean, they're totally Rodarte knockoffs, but rarely can a high school student afford bondage-esque awesomeness for under $200



It's kinda funny how accessories can completely change the vibe of an outfit

switch the backpack & add on a few gazillion bracelets and...

Okay, so the change isn't that extreme, but I can't carry my text books in such a tiny clutch and all those bracelets would have sounded like a sword fight in the middle of math class...

Another note, the chignon happened completely by accident. Life is good
