I need your help.

Hi everyone! I need YOU to decide my next blog post! I will do a well researched post about your idea for a new fashion topic. It can be about a new trend, a fashion icon, a designer or something more creative that you can come up with. Simply become a follower if you're not already and leave a comment with the topic info on it. If I choose yours than you will get a $10 gift card to Forever21. I know, not much but they have great prices! So be creative and I'll close this contest on Saturday, February 6th 2010. Thanks so much!!!!

Trend Alert!

In case you haven't noticed, there is something that is taking over the shelves of the "trendy" or some of you might call them "teeny-bopper" stores. Maybe after Michael Jacksons passing the fashion world decided to fall back to his style. What is it? Military inspired clothing is popping up everywhere I go! Okay, okay, maybe not EVERYWHERE but it's definitely taking a huge part in the our fashion. Check out these photos and see what you think.
model Tiiu loves it....
It didn't get past the runway... Celebs are loving it....

I personally wouldn't mind a jacket or two (like the one from Armani Exchange in the turquoise dress) but some things are a little extreme for my taste. If you're interested go to these links to check out what you can buy!

I got a fiance! Well sorta. We didn't see each other for Christmas so he set up a "Christmas" dinner when I flew to Colorado to see him. And he proposed with dessert. A cake that said "Jes, Will you marry me?"

P.S. I was going to use RANDOM.ORG but they wanted to charge money so I went with the ol' pull the names randomly out of a hat! Thanks everyone for participating!

My Muse

Let me tell you a story. A story you all very well may know. There was a girl named Rebecca Bloomwood, and she LOVED to shop. She more than loved it, it was her life! She was a Shopaholic. I draw so many parallels to her story it's a little scary although I am NOT in $16,000 worth of debt. She said it best when she said "When I shop, the world gets better, and the world is better, but then it's not, and I need to do it again."(imdb.com) I hate shopping! I hate it because it's SO addicting! And it's so true that "A store can awaken a lust for things you never even knew you needed"(imdb.com)
So, my point to this? Well, I am in debt from my habits and I need to fix it. I propose to sell my biggest weakness: my shoes. As anyone close to me will tell you, I have a lot of shoes. I don't have hundreds or any disgusting number like 384, but I have a lot more than I need. Anyone interested? I think I'll post some pictures later(the green ones above are for sale too), or maybe on facebook to show you what shoes I can part with - still cute! I swear! And the best part is that I have so many shoes that they are all in pretty good shape. Oh btw, I'm a size 9. So what say ye fashion blog followers? Should I hold a private shoe selling party here in my home? Eh? Eh? Huh? Come on!!

Forever21/Polyvore

I was at Forever21 a few weeks ago and I tried on about 3 or 4 different outfits I put together. I took pics of them but then I decided it wasn't the greatest idea to post them without permission from F21. So, I went on their website and put those outfits together on Polyvore. This way you can click on the links to find out where they came from! I'm a little late in posting this because they are holiday party outfits: casual, work, and family. See what you think!

I know you've all been waiting for this... I am going to give one lucky commenter(is that a word?) a FREE pair of handmade earrings (made by me) to get more of an interest in my blog. Here's the deal: become a follower of this blog, post a comment below about your favorite thing you got for Christmas and I will RANDOMLY pick* someone to send these awesome(sorry the pics aren't great-camera was being temperamental) earrings to! I will contact the winner thru e-mail to get all the shipping info and they will get some free jewelry in the mail! YAY!!! No jokes here, I would just like more people to enjoy my blog!

About the earrings: they were made by myself with purple swarovski crystals, they are made with a plated metal earwire(if you need a sterling silver one let me know, but they won't look as good =), they'll come with some rubber stoppers and they are very light! You won't even know they're there.
