Chloe Sevigny and Lookbook

So, today while I was (cue air quotation marks) "working"in the school computer lab, I stumbled upon the Chloe Sevigny for O.C. Resort 2011 Collection. Wow. Just wow. If I had any of these pieces in my wardrobe, I would wear every single one. And the location for the lookbook makes it that much more amazing. Here are some of my favorite looks:

I really must be fixing these small pictures. I'm sorry about that. And-- a shout out to the beautiful Yuri Lee, who welcomed me to Lookbook. Thanks a bunch, Yuri! I'm so excited to be a part of the Lookbook community (I'll try to post my first look this weekend).

Have a Fabulous Day,

Abbey

Always Inspired

You know what I love about fashion? You are constantly inspired. Whether it be a collection (new or old), a blog, or just random people who walk by you on the streets.

These days, I am inspired by:
The details of Anna Sui (Fall 2010)

Danny Roberts

These days, I'm constantly gazing at Danny Roberts' artwork. A good portion of his artwork is fashion-related and they are absolutely stunning. I thought I must share some of my favorites.

Alexander McQueen

Isn't his work amazing? I especially love the Chanel one. It's so pretty. You can visit his Etsy shop here. And click here for his blog, Igor + Andre. Did you know that he's making a shirt collection for Forever 21? Well, maybe I'll take an eight hour drive to Forever 21. Or, you know, maybe not. A girl can dream, though.

Oh, Nylon. How I Love Thee.

Well, somebody's rediscovering their love for NYLON magazine. I don't know what it is about it, but it's just so fun in a "you might not think so, but I'm the coolest fashion magazine" kind of way. And that probably made no sense to you at all, but whatever. NYLON has so much color in their pages and in the clothing they use, and I need that, because without color, fashion would be nothing to me. I sometimes try to make myself like a collection that only has black garments, but I can never bring myself to like it. And I'm not saying that I don't like black pieces, because I do. I'm just saying that a whole collection of black can bore me to tears. Even a whole collection of yellow could bore me to tears. I just need colors. Colors. Plural. Maybe it's because I'm young (EHMAGAWSH, MOMMY! RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS!). And now I shall stop talking about this, because now I'm boring you to tears. Scroll down to see some lovely pages from from NYLON. (I will post them, when I am back from a short game of tether-ball in the rain, with myself. I have a cool life, people.)

Okay, I am back. I won.

Look. At. That. Envelope. So loving the Nylon undie-pants.

IMG_7379
This is what I love about you, Nylon.

IMG_7381
Yes, yes, yes!

IMG_7383
THIS is art, my friends.

IMG_7385
The Factory Girl article is one of the best parts of the magazine for me. You can also watch Factory Girl episodes on their YouTube channel. I so want her job.

This was such a great article on Kate Nash. Like no other article you would read about a celebrity.

"Hey, what's up everybody? I moved to New York and got fiiiive piercings!"

Power to the Cat.

So, what do you think of Nylon? No, really. Honestly. If you think that there's something utterly repulsive about it, tell me. If you think it may be the most amazing thing on our planet, tell me. If you use it for kitty litter, tell me.

And Now...
Goodbye!

Oh, and please click the shirtless woman to the right to be our first follower on BlogLovin. I'm so obsessed with BlogLovin right now. If you don't have one, you should definitely go get one. Right now!

Ravishing Rompers and Perfect Playsuits

I'm really loving rompers and playsuits these days. There is just something so fun about them, which might be why they call them playsuits. I think I may need to go romper/playsuit shopping soon. Or, you know, I could just marvel at these beauties through my computer screen:

Photobucket

1) Shay Todd - Romance Twill Playsuit - $265 (Net-A-Porter)
2) Anna Sui - Satin Sleeveless Playsuit - $85.50 (The Outnet)
3) Alexander Wang - Jersey Drawstring Playsuit - $420 (Net-A-Porter)
4) Diane Von Furstenberg - Rompie Printed Jersey Playsuit - $245 (Net-A-Porter)
5) Jason Wu - Button-Front Tweed Playsuit - $1,295 (Net-A-Porter)
6) Forever 21 - Woven Tribal Romper - $19.90 (Forever21.com)
7) DKNY - Sequined Silk-Blend Playsuit - $595 (Net-A-Porter)
8) Adidas By Stella McCartney - Studio Zip-Detail Playsuit - $130 (Net-A-Porter)
9) TopShop - Tropical Print Playsuit - $50 (TopShop.com)

So, a fifteen year old like me might only be able to afford 2, 6, 9, and if we're lucky, 8. But I don't mind just daydreaming about them, and visiting them on the world wide web.

Strawberries and Shoes

It is so gorgeous outside these days. Not hot, but definitely not cold. Perfect for eating supper out on the deck. Here's a pair of Aldo gladiators I bought yesterday, when I went to the city. They're Aldo Kids, because my feet are way tiny.

And, I just can't seem to get enough of my favorite fruit these days, which happens to be strawberries.

Have a Great Day,
