  • 1. Here's what I saw yesterday...from the outfit in THIS post. I'm entered as one of the 14 entrants to win a balenciaga bag! So awesome. Knowing my extremely bad luck in giveaways, I probably won't win. However, here's to hoping?
  • 2. Another pic from NYFW, HERE'S the rest of the photos.
  • 3. Outfit that I meant to post LONG time ago, but never did: colin stuart boots, vintage blazer, old navy shirt, f21 skirt
  • 4. HOW SHOULD I WEAR THIS DRESS? I made it and the black belt doesn't seem to do it justice... since it was my 2nd project I sucked and made the waist 2 inches too big... so until I have time to fix it I'll have to belt it...only question is, what color of belt/accessories shoudl I choose? I want a luella vibe to this... very spring-like. Maybe I should go through the luella archives?
      Oh, it's my blog's 6 weeks! Thanks to everyone who's followed and commented... I never thought a nerd like me would get so many people that care about what I wear. :D
