in the still of the night

I'm making this post extremely fast because I'm about to go to the Britney Spears concert (to be honest, not a fan of her music but the girl can perform...) Its been such a crazy day, I auditioned for a movie this morning. Well not really an audition, If I get it I will only be an extra but hey its being shot at my school which is the most interesting thing that has ever happened to my area.
Here are some extremely gorgeous photos from the May issue of Numero 103 magazine, I can't believe they all came from just one issue:

hook and line

I apologize for the lack of update! It's been such a stressful week and now that its a Friday afternoon I have some time to make a post. I was going to make a "latest purchases" post since I had a shopping spree (aka my form of therapy) but now I can't find my camera so I'll have to put that off until it decides to show up.

It's sad how rarely we see female singers of relativity new bands being able to create rock music without being labeled as a poser. Alison Mosshart of the Kills, however, is defiantly the exception. If you haven't listened to the Kills, I suggest you download some of their songs. Not only is their music great but Alison is able to bring back the fashion into rock music again. Her style comes off as natural, not try-hard as so many others try to replicate.

hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

It feels good to be back home even if I was only gone for 2 and a half days. I missed the city so much and plus I was stuck in a place that had attractions that didn't necessarily appeal to me.... so I pretty much stayed inside my hotel room and watched tv. It was pretty relaxing until your brain felt like mush after watching 6 straight hours of sitcoms and then you felt dizzy when you stood up since you were lying down so long....
Anyways, so in my competition I competed in fashion apparel in the category semi-formal wear. Then they broke that section into groups but in my group I received a silver medal for my dress. Pretty proud, I guess, since I knew that I had enough time to improve my dress but didn't. Oh well what can you do.

Moving on....

I saw these bewitching photos over at the knightcat a few days ago that was taken by the photographer Chadwick Tyler. I haven't heard of him before so I decided to look him up and discovered that he had his own website. Just a glimpse of a few photos of his and I quickly fell in love. The models that he chooses are so naturally beautiful and haunting at the same time- perhaps this is why their names are listed under the category demons?

going going gone

I will be in Springfield over the next few days for a fashion competition for a dress that I made. I will be back on Saturday so until then posting will be on hold. Wish me luck ;)

sweet dreams

ooh polyvore, this program makes me angrier than when I browse through ebay for hours. Why? Because it's just like giving someone an unlimited credit card at Barney's but telling them you can't spend any money. Seriously it's that evil. And addicting. Browsing through all of those items.... a person like me who has made countless amounts of collages can spend hours on this site. Here are some that I have made:

check out my account. I haven't created anything new in a while but I probably will become attached to this site again.

Numero Toyko May 2009
"Havana rendez-vous"
Photographer: Jean-François Campos
Model: Sara Blomqvist

Now THIS is what an editorial is supposed to look like. The set is beautiful and complements the colors of the outfits. Each shot looks like a story of its own. The jewelry makes me crave for some heavily beaded statement necklaces and earrings. Not to mention how this makes me even more excited for summer (if it ever comes here). I don't wear that make color but this really wants me to look for some bold colors when it gets hotter outside.

What is your weirdest obsession? Intervention. I like to thank my sophomore health class for that. Now every Monday I entertain my self with two hours with watching people abuse drug/alcohol/etc. Also that show Toddlers & Tiaras. I love how wrong it is.

What’s the favorite piece of clothing in your own closet? My flannel shirts because they are soooo soft.
What is your dream job? Design costumes for broadway or movies. Except I would hate to actually plan/sketch/create the garment since I take about a month to make a simple dress but since this is supposed to be a "dream"...
Favorite style steal tv/movie right now: I honestly don't watch that much tv and when I do they aren't fashion related but I'll go with gossip girl.

On a random note- it is going to snow over here for two days. Yes it is spring and the beginning of April. I think I'll just go and stare at this picture while I freeze and put on more layers of clothing. Damn Chicago.
