Interior Design Inspo

Blogging has been on my mind constantly, but school work is what always wins. For some reason, I've had this passion for redecorating my room. It all started out with the desperate need of a new bed... then I just needed a vanity table. I stumbled upon Ikeahackers.net and became obsessed. People create one of a kind furniture with Ikea products. If only I knew someone handy enough! This 'project' has included me de-cluttering my room and closet with the stuff I don't wear or use. This whole thing makes me wonder if I have an interest in interior design... hm. Anyways, I'm dying for a uni (and work) break! How is uni and/or work going for you? 

Runway Rewind

 Let's look back at the Fall 12/13 runway looks!

 Michael Kors

Moschino Cheap And Chic

 

 Rag and Bone 

 

Jason Wu

 

With NY Fashion Week, so many people were featuring the wonderful images of the S/S 12/14 fashions. I decided to rewind back to the Fall 12/13 shows from Feb. 2012 showcasing this seasons fall fashions. Sweaters, jackets, boots and more tea! I am so excited! Plus there's school which I have been super busy with!

 

My favorite shows were deff Rag and Bone and Jason Wu! So many pretty colors, jackets and of course sweaters! Fall is my favorite because I loveee layering. Plus, it's not too hot and you're not forced to throw on shorts and a tank just about everyday. What's your favorite designer and/or trends for Fall 2012?

Nicole Richie for Macy's

Nicole Richie has always been a style inspiration for me. I love her long dresses, boho style and 70's inspired looks. So of course I was extremly excited when I heard that she was hooking up with Macy's line Impulse and creating a fall collection. The pieces are supposed to range from $49 to $149 (which sounds like Macy's). I absolutley cannot wait for this to hit stores on September 12th. Below are some of my favorite pieces so far. 

I'm loving everything with the leather inserts for fall, but I picked at least two favs without leather... and not all of them include leather, so don't worry!

Leopard Print Skirts

Charlotte Russe Skirt, Aldo Bag, Rag Doll Studded Flats 

Leopard print, oh, leopard print. I imagine for years to come that leopard will be a 'basic' closet necessity. It spices up any outfit no matter what look really, minimalist, glam, sexy, edgy, etc. I got this skirt a while ago from Charlotte Russe and I love it really for both summer and winter. I of course had to feature my spiked flats once again because I am smitten over them! They're available at Rag Doll for $35 (forgive me for the shameless promoting :P) 

I really have to work on my messages for each post. I guess what I've been reading about a lot, due to some IFB drama, is the terms, definitions and desires of 'top tier' bloggers. You know, the ones we lust over? I admit I was caught up in it for a while, but I realized that it isn't who I am. So you truly have to blog because you love it and I do! 

My Week #3

leopard print shorts and lovely spiked flats

delicious pizza and skelenton ring

the best ice cream in the world and awesome high-waist shorts

My week was filled with food and awesome new RagDoll merchandise! Shoes, ring and shorts are now available in the shop! School begins next week as well as my job at Macy's. Can you say busy? (and discounts) Which I think I'll be. I already got one syllabus for a class and I got a bit nervous, because it's an online class. They are indeed the trickiest. I also began watching the show Once Upon a Time on Hulu and I'm hooked! What's your plans for this week?

Back To Campus

1. Aldo Backpack, 2. Bamboo Paper App, 3. Victoria's Secret Water Bottles, 4. Victoria's Secret Student Planner, 5. RagDoll mini bag, 6. iPad Stylus

You would think that 'Back-To-School' lists go away after eighth grade, but they don't. Upon figuring out that the semester was closer than I thought, I subconsciously generated a list of things that I needed before school began. 

Although I have about five backpacks, what's wrong with a new one? Especially a cute mini one for when I want to feel smart and carry by books in my hand? I can never find a cute planner, but these VS ones are adorable! Plus, a water bottle for my 4 hour art classes to save some $$. I also found this awesome app called Bamboo Paper for my iPad which I plan on using as much as I can. It lets you create multiple notebooks and handwrite (that's where the stylus comes in) on multiple types of 'paper': lined, graph, etc. Hopefully even more text books are available electronically, too. I'm ready for the semester to start so I can get busy and... attempt to make some friends. When is back-to-school for you and what's on your list?

A Day in DC

Spent a day in DC last week and it was great! My boyfriend and some friends caught the metro to DC and explored. We hit up the Smithsonian, Dupont Circle where he hit up an Italian restaurant and Krispy Kreme and ended it at Pentagon City Mall. I let my boyfriend take a round with the camera and these were his results! I was tired after walking all day, but it was definitely a trip worth taking. Every time I go to the city, I want to move there. I love the movement and the places to eat and shop. Pittsburg and New York are surely next on the list. What's your favorite local place to visit?

I hope everyone had a great week! I did. My boyfriend and I have been out and about which has taken me away from my computer a lot. I'm also excited for some new RagDoll merchandise! We're gonna have some sale items soon too! The story behind this outfit is dinner with some friends. We went to Bahama Breeze which has the best dish ever- Lobster and Shrimp Linguine. It's heaven. I am also in love with these red pumps from Aldo. Perfect combo with snake skin print! Please bare with me! I'm still working on my outfit photos! (: 

My Week #2: Dear, Dear Photo Diary

My boyfriend and I went out to eat with some friends. I love the shrimp and lobster pasta from Bahama Breeze! 

In RagDoll news, a studded bandeau. Should it be added to RagDoll? And a happy customer! 

More food. Delicious salad and some arm candy!

I haven't done a photo diary in a while. Although things are rough, I can't complain about my week... or life at that. How was your week?
