Style Addiction

Hey Guys,

I know it's been a while since I've posted and your very disappointed in me but believe me it will be worth it. I have been hard at work (such as the dress that I'm working on for my big 25!), not to mention classes started 2 weeks ago and they are already kickin' my ass.

Stay tuned! I have a lot to talk about. Just a few thinks to look out for.

I will be introducing a series called My Closet where I will be talking about styling and giving people information on things that every stylist should have to take on jobs and how to build a collection (i.e. closet) for work.

I also will be introducing a makeup/beauty series where I will be giving makeup tips. Since I also do makeup and that seems to be taking off it would only make sense to share that information and experience with everyone. If I can I will include YouTube videos to show some makeup look tutorials and I might include some hair tips also.

These ideas came from conversations I've had with friends. Some suggested that I do "what are you wearing?" posts where I put picture of what I am wearing that day on my blog. I think that would be a good idea as I can show you how to get the look.

Lastly, I have been considering creating a few garments for Spring 2010. This is still up in the air as I don't really know how much time I am going to have to do this. It would be called The Collection Series or something of the sort and I will take you through the process of creating my first full collection. It wouldn't be big; maybe about 10 pieces but I think it would be a great learning experience for everyone. It will take you through the sketch to the pattern to fabric to the end product (pictures included).

So with that said expect great things. Also, if you have any suggestions for the ideas above or any new ideas that you think I should try email me and let me know. I welcome the input.

xoxo

I saw these navy blue, satin, strappy, platform heels at the Zara store by Metro Center last night and they didn't have my size. I thought it was no big deal until I went home and thought of all the outfits in my closet those shoes would go perfect with. Now I'm obsessed!!! I'm going to the Zara in Montgomery Mall tonight in hopes that they have my size. If not then I will have to go to the one in Georgetown. This is a problem. I don't think I'm going to be content without them :(

So, I just found out from Stylehog.com that sLuxury the online retailer will be shutting down or converting rather. It will soon become a blog site for it's parent company LVMH to post information on its fashion labels such at Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs and others.

I'm a little disappointed at this news because I really like the sight and have bought a few things from them over the years even though it is expensive. But I am also interested in finding out how the blog turns out. Hopefully it goes well.

Seeing that a lot of people can't afford to buy the expensive merchandise on eLuxury.com except for maybe once in a blue moon like me, I can't wait to see what happens to the inventory. Zack Posen dresses and jackets and Gaultier shoes for 60%- 70% off! It can't get any better than that. I guess if the site carried Dries Van Noten shoes it could. I've been trying to get my hands on that label to add to my collection.

Here are a few things that I am (wishfully) thinking will go on sale before the shut down

This 3.1 Phillip Lim top for $625.00

A structured jacket from Zac Posen at $1,440
