Well said, Tinie Tempah. So chances are, this phrase is a disclaimer placed in direct correlation with my adventure-filled not-real-life of a life (whether this movie would be a cartoon or a soap opera, however, is up for debate depending on the current weekend's events). From 1) scavenging a second-home-status frat house fridge to snatch, microwave, then consume a senior brother's leftover <a href="http://www.jasonsdeli.com/">Jason's Deli</a> sandwich... to 2) drawing wall-to-wall sunshine-yellow crayon squiggles on the 25th floor hallway of <a href="http://www.stonehengenyc.com/properties/The-Olivia">The Olivia</a>, I feel the constant need to say "oopsies" for anything that happens to innocent, sober bystanders between the hours of roughly 9 PM to 6 AM.<br />
<br />
Well, that was a nice interlude into my post dedicated to <a href="http://www.shopnastygal.com/">Nasty Gal</a>. In short,the same principle applies. With this multitude of images and lack of writing, I'll apologize for tonight tomorrow morning. My usual rhetoric will back shortly.<br />

Pioneer meaning an admitted trailblazer within the Business and Enterprise Management major. Me creating my own concentration basically translated to, "Yes, bitches, I'm serious about this being a viable career." Whether it's merchandising, buying and planning/allocation or brand management, by conducting my own time-consuming research and reaching out to those far more educated than myself, I've learned a shit ton about the fashion industry and the careers that lie within. That being said, as the second half of OB has taught me, it's now my turn to step into the mentoring cycle to provide knowledge to my own little minions of fashion within business. Exhibit A: <a href="http://fashionbankfb.blogspot.com/">Raquel Scharyj</a>.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I seriously applaud <a href="http://www.cocokouture.com/author/raquelscharyj/">Raquel</a>'s willingness to wear six-inch heels to finance class (in B-02, of course-- the practicality factor of Murphy's Law), as well as her effortless employment of my two most essential philosophies: balance and layering. From the scarf over sweater over dress top-half to the just-above-ankle socks / cognac footwear contrast, it's as if all my principles have come together before my eyes in a single cohesive form, a stylistic execution that approximately 98.27435% of girls at Wake Forest have yet to learn. And from the trials of Theresa Breitton, we all know just how damn comfortable these <a href="http://aldoshoes.com/">Aldo</a> oxfords are... naaahhhhttt. So let us raise our glasses to the future fashion trailblazers of Kirby Hall, and wish <a href="http://www.cocokouture.com/author/raquelscharyj/">Raquel</a> well on the final half of her semester before she begins a kick-ass internship at <a href="http://www.oscardelarenta.com/">Oscar de la Renta</a> in the greatest city in the world.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Damn. How did I make it here?

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Texture:</b> So much three-dimensional movement here. I'm positively in awe. The first <a href="http://www.camillaandmarc.com/">camilla and marc</a> dress is actually so elegant it hurts. The drape and flounce potential of these looks reminded me oh-so-fondly of <a href="http://manrepeller.com/">Man Repeller</a>'s <a href="http://www.manrepeller.com/2011/01/spring-couture-will-men-dispatch.html">"vag couture post"</a>, and warrants opposite bodycon separates to strike an appropriate balance. Just envisioning a cup of Everclear-and-God-knows-what-else punch defacing the virginal white accordion-pleat tank pains me, but I would definitely make it a point to somehow assimilate that fun black ballerina skirt into real life. Pretty sure Carrie Bradshaw would approve.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br />

If college has taught me anything, cuteness trumps the pain of frat wounds. Always. It's also the night when a certain frat star (Face? Name? Recollection? Nope.) exclaimed, "I like your sparklies!" Practical application of the term "it's not gay if you're in a frat." And to think I wasn't even going to go out that night... But I digress. A good metallic fabric will make a world of difference in any and all situations, even if the name of the piece is "Oil Slick"... questionable yet awesome.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Zoo: </b>There's no denying that people (even mainstream mall-ers) became super comfortable with rawr-esque prints and textures this past season. While there were some who insisted on wearing fur vests with the wrongest of bottoms (let's say, for instance... <a href="http://www.ae.com/">American Eagle</a> jeans and <a href="http://www.uggaustralia.com/">UGG</a>'s) and sporting leopard print on otherwise demure blouses, <a href="http://shopbop.com/">Shopbop</a> shows us that there is absolutely a right way to wear zoo prints and a huge return on investment to be gained when done correctly and in good taste. To be honest, my favorite of this entire set is the fur collar with chains. Sure, the piece's name sounds like something more appropriate for a large dog than a small Asian, but I'm lusting for it though Spring is upon us. Also, those open-toed <a href="http://www.openingceremony.us/">Opening Ceremony</a> booties are so fluffy and weird that I can't help but want them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Time for homegirl over here to indulge in some cheesecake and discover the enhanced wonders of music through my pristine white <a href="http://beatsbydre.com/products/Products.aspx?pid=B3808">Studio Beats</a> (thanks again, Gilberto... love you xoxo).

Regardless, this entry, being post #90 (whoa.) marks the very first post in my blog's three-year (whoa...) history to actually feature me. Surprise! Bet you didn't realize I was actually a small Asian. So as I've made redundantly clear over this cherished span of time, my heart belongs first and foremost to fall fashion. These autumn shots courtesy of fayettevillemandy's Nikon D60 recap the day I arrived back to "DR" with a new pair of combat boots and fresh mindset on risk-taking thanks to my bffl, <a href="http://fixmefancy.com/">Karen Ashley Fabella</a>. Thanksgiving = Nemo-and-Stitch-a-Palooza, in case you were unaware. As mild as I now perceive this outfit to be, I was initially instinctively cautious of its <a href="http://manrepeller.com/">man-repelling</a> potential...WWJT? (What Would JBiebs Think?) clearly topped my list of concerns.<br />

</div>I love this look because it totally lends itself to a rather significant throwback-- my double-denim obsession of second grade. Yes, with my Arizona Jeans Co. light-wash denim shirt and Kids 'R Us-belted New Legends skinny jeans and hiking boots, I believed full well that I was the shit. (Sidenote: Holy shit. All of these companies are now obsolete. Saauuuu '90's.) Thanks to <a href="http://singer22.com/">Singer22</a> and other sources of encouragement, I'm proud to report the ensemble has been resurrected in a positive light. It goes without saying, however, that there will always exist those trailer park honeys who give double-denim a painfully bad name...but if I started writing now, I'd be the next character featured on <a href="http://thingsidoonaddy.com/">thingsidoonaddy</a>. And all I have to say in response is should I make it on that page, I have way better stories to offer than this.<br />

Aggressive, violent, geedy? Yes. But to call these sentiments unwavering would be an egregious understatement, especially as a seasoned fourth-year undergraduate whose summer was spent socialite-ing around the world's greatest city and being exposed day-in and day-out to what fashion truly means. Attention all die-hard <a href="http://jackrogers.com/">Jack Rogers</a> and <a href="http://verabradley.com/">Vera Bradley</a> fans aka logo-obsessed fools: I dare you to spend an afternoon in Chelsea. Yup. Enjoy being ripped to shreds by people with aesthetic standards that aren't shallow as a shower.<br />

Now that that's out in the open, I hereby declare that I will forever associate <a href="http://winknyc.com/">WiNK</a>'s in-house label with flowy silk dresses and bright, punchy blouses-- and vice versa. The colors and textures are wholeheartedly representative of the brand, thus creating its own visual textbook definition among my spectrum of stylistic differentiation.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><div>Organizing my GMail address book this morning, I got a bittersweet reminder of my summer in the city when I came across the contact information of <a href="http://winknyc.com/">WiNK</a>'s undeniably baller founder and manager, Ilse Werther. Talk about dream job. How awesome was it for me to browse the Columbus Ave. store (aka heaven), inquire about retail opportunities, receive the card of the company's manager, then see her in real life... on <a href="http://www.mtv.com/shows/the-city/season_2/series.jhtml">The City</a>? OMG is right, boys and girls. (Side note: thank you to Theresa Breitton, once again, for opening my eyes to the actual relevance of <a href="http://mtv.com/">MTV</a> to my life... seen only once in a blue moon, it tends to make an appearance every once in awhile.)<br />
<br />
This all being said, I hate missing out on the good stuff just because I don't go to school in the best city in the world. So here begins my mini-story's happy ending: words can't begin to express my sheer joy upon seeing the banner stating, "ONLINE WAREHOUSE SALE: UP TO 80% OFF". Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss.<br />

I don't think there's a more perfect term to describe my impulsive / resourceful behavior than "engaging in a spree". Oopsies. These actions can absolutely be attributed to Theresa Breitton's presence, which is more than anything, truly wonderful. (If you want a little insight into how our brains work, please feel free to take a peek at <a href="http://twitter.com/JaniceSzeto">my</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a>. I'm such a kindhearted individual, no?) Regardless, being the bottom-of-the-iceberg slightly bitchy nicest-girl-ever is not what leads me to receive the regular, "You know fashion. Let me ask you something" 's. I'd like to think my refined judgment and zeal regarding personal style, however, is.<br />
<br />
That being said, enter my recent purchases circa two nights ago.<br />

On the (perpetually sloppy) rack, this sweater kind of looked like a tragic lump of unwanted fabric, dusted slightly with a hint of glitter. After putting it on though, it's like the boho-chic fashion gods approved. Even with my ultra-petite frame, the sleeves don't even come close to swallowing up my arms and twig-thin wrists. If anything, the volume of the sleeves is what adds to the drama of the entire piece itself. Fortunate timing for me, my fellow Delaware fashionphile and newest bff, <a href="http://www.d2bdmelrose.blogspot.com/">Melanie Rose</a> was also browsing the <a href="http://www.shopchristianamall.com/">Christiana</a> <a href="http://www.forever21.com/">XXI</a> and I received her sign-off to purchase it after providing an elucidated rebuttal about why I couldn't find a comparable piece at <a href="http://www.familythriftctr.com/">Family Thrift Center</a>.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And so begin the <a href="http://hm.com/">H&M</a> purchases.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To my delight, I found the acid wash leggings on my way out. So excited to break these out in a frat basement and freak people out. As I told Amanda, I've been getting addicted to the shock factor of outfits, so I can proudly say I've been carrying out my first resolution very well (see: outfit I wore to <a href="http://www.toscanakitchen.com/">Toscana</a> / <a href="http://www.harrys-savoy.com/kidshelleens.asp">Kid Shelleen's</a> last night).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And one final thing to ponder (among many...), what about these <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp;jsessionid=bweWKBAp4R8a?popId=WOMENS_SHOPBYBRAND&navAction=jump&navCount=18&id=W_ACC_BRANDS_DEENAANDOZZY">Deena & Ozzy</a> lace-up combat boots? They were kind of stiff to the touch, and the arch of the heel was unbearable. But for $30, I almost had to get them. Even though I mentioned <a href="http://villedela.blogspot.com/2010/10/inspiration.html">here</a> that a foldover or sweater-knit top would be prerequisites for my single pair of laced combat boots, I was really drawn to these (or the price, at least) and can't decide if I should go back and get them. I could be throwing away a huge investment here (or, just $30), but as was the theme this weekend, "let fate decide". Thoughts?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

But in the spirit of honoring what could have possibly been the very best weekend of my life, I think it's appropriate to concretely address my sartorial goals for the upcoming year. 2011. How the fuck did we get here? I honestly didn't think I'd make it past first semester freshman year (which happened, but just barely). Now, I'm sitting here with my sixth BlackBerry and officially-retired cognac <a href="http://www.hm.com/">H&M</a> cross body bag (which has since been replaced by an <a href="http://anntaylor.com/">Ann Taylor</a> semi-quilted black leather gold-chain-link satchel, similar to the one below sans the bow, and half the quilting), and wondering what I can actively do in these next five (less than five, really) months in terms of improving myself before the culmination of this entire college experience: graduation.<br />
<br />

I know this post sounds like it's headed somewhere lame and nostalgic, but one has to wonder what these past four years would have been like without say, my beloved/necessary Calloway locker, breakout room #117B (more recently, C), and of course, fratting hard and often. Engrossing myself completely in my studies and social life at Wake has influenced me in ways, but I still vow not to fall victim to engrossing myself in its rather defined culture of dress. After spending the past celebratory weekend in my favorite city in the world, something innate challenged me to go riskier than ever before. Marbled acid-wash denim leggings paired with 6-inch suede-velvet over-the-knee boots (foldover, and thus convertible to thigh-highs)? Done. I can't wait to see the look on people's faces when I break out my silver sequin shorts or massively torn jean cutoffs (thanks to a single day party, in fact) over a pair of sheer black tights to a lounge party. We shall see.<br />

</div>In keeping with my goal of making goals, here are the resolutions I've established, listed in descending order of urgency. (If you know me at all, this should not surprise you one bit.)<br />
<br />
1. Yes, an outfit may look like it works. But would it make a statement when getting drinks at <a href="http://www.sohohouseny.com/">Soho House</a>? If the answer is no, it'll be my duty to make it more interesting. For an outfit to be truly awesome, something should look a bit off about it. Being too obviously and consciously put-together is overrated. Effortless layering is way more fun. Unless I'm going to a business casual event or networking dinner, there are no excuses to looking shamefully safe and commonplace.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigAkuZ3at7ULTwtXJGVAZBmTDdMj0x6qZp-Cb8gyW-mmWpvqsP1e_GF5t6F34C0ON-g8W020WBwyPi6YKbrYROh5jq6ymjWk0jifCGAYSSPc_lguviGKVnk0D_MkGttxS3GA9jBPBBqo/s1600/lf+over+the+knee+lookbook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigAkuZ3at7ULTwtXJGVAZBmTDdMj0x6qZp-Cb8gyW-mmWpvqsP1e_GF5t6F34C0ON-g8W020WBwyPi6YKbrYROh5jq6ymjWk0jifCGAYSSPc_lguviGKVnk0D_MkGttxS3GA9jBPBBqo/s400/lf+over+the+knee+lookbook.jpg" width="385" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My philosophy of balance and layering in a nutshell, courtesy of <a href="http://www.lfstores.com/">LF</a> <a href="http://www.lfstores.com/trendreports.html">Trend Reports</a>. Nicely done, and totally inspirational. Shoutout to <a href="http://fixmefancy.com/">Kara Fabella</a> on this one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>2. Make heels a regular occurrence. I'm absolutely not talking about some unnecessary pointy-toe stilettos, but rather, over-the-knee boots, gladiator wedges or heeled combat boots. It's normal in the city, so why can't it be here, too?<br />
<br />
3. Make a constant effort to accessorize. This has been my goal since seventh grade, and I'll admit, to this day, I still haven't mastered it successfully. Don't get intimidated by how much a necklace or earrings will drastically improve the dimensions of the outfit. In the end, the ROI of taking the time to pick out the piece will be well worth it. Scarves are good, too, as long as I don't lose them...<br />
<br />
4. Wear fur, studs, fringe, cut-out and leather at Wake, somehow, some way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfzhwtjb_F59vV4wwGz542cC8tbCGgsgVPvrLnMo-yguhYkIFaUVbm7NdzONLQZL23-vZAJDttJ8-EH7iZaNyBGYCUCIhY8XObCHsLaURom46FWxgErpoc4BXdg6a_2yC9DeIXkAB66A/s1600/victoria+beckham+posh+leather+leopard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsfzhwtjb_F59vV4wwGz542cC8tbCGgsgVPvrLnMo-yguhYkIFaUVbm7NdzONLQZL23-vZAJDttJ8-EH7iZaNyBGYCUCIhY8XObCHsLaURom46FWxgErpoc4BXdg6a_2yC9DeIXkAB66A/s320/victoria+beckham+posh+leather+leopard.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCdHdWur85aHn8HVFRNgapNe4TarbnSjED_JXI55dsrWyFPg1ZDr3C2x7o8A_v3XiqSURknrvxqHPsgz5ygKUR8aAUPf2A7vpyTDhSjeDl2ykSBqda3mAvqU9aQ79Qmb_AZ9ko-0VY5Q/s1600/lindsay+lohan+fur+coat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyCdHdWur85aHn8HVFRNgapNe4TarbnSjED_JXI55dsrWyFPg1ZDr3C2x7o8A_v3XiqSURknrvxqHPsgz5ygKUR8aAUPf2A7vpyTDhSjeDl2ykSBqda3mAvqU9aQ79Qmb_AZ9ko-0VY5Q/s400/lindsay+lohan+fur+coat.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wow. Seriously, what would people do if I tried to channel Posh or L. Lo while walking through the Swan Room? Lolz.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>5. Look for pieces in places I wouldn't normally go. This break, instead of heading to the usual trusty suspects, I ventured out of my way and made some of my most versatile purchases (imported cowboy boots, oversized flannels and black suede lace-up booties) at <a href="http://www.zanewestern.com/">Zane Western Apparel</a>, <a href="http://www.kohls.com/">Kohl's</a> and <a href="http://www.trafficshoe.com/">Traffic</a>... I'm dead serious. Initially cringe-inducing, yes, but after taking the time to filter out the 99% of absolutely heinous stuff, it's completely worth it.<br />
<br />
6. Actually go thrifting. Man up. Stop being a snob, accept that other people previously owned these items and recognize that this may be the best $6 I ever spent on a jacket or knit sweater.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxzotAT_ZtWwHsFehOpouUBSIDrl03hy0o-3B0FMwKiP-vMaEVUXLxvB74uBUlkcelIC2tfnD5mnkfUNcX9CClq-_MpCW5wjSzznBjLASvn3_BH8rtpod9NO18yjPZc_EskdbI9mDDmWE/s1600/little+boys+blazers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxzotAT_ZtWwHsFehOpouUBSIDrl03hy0o-3B0FMwKiP-vMaEVUXLxvB74uBUlkcelIC2tfnD5mnkfUNcX9CClq-_MpCW5wjSzznBjLASvn3_BH8rtpod9NO18yjPZc_EskdbI9mDDmWE/s400/little+boys+blazers.jpg" width="385" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Both of these little boys' blazers (<a href="http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/509-Sailors+daughter-van-heusen-blazer-target-top-forever21-skirt-old-navy-shoes">1</a>, <a href="http://wilmaandwinston.wordpress.com/">2</a>) were less than $5 from thrift stores. Baller.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>7. Invest in blazers. Differentiate from my beloved black, pinstripe-lined original and explore different color palettes and textures, like velvet and herringbone.<br />
<br />
8. Research a new coveted celebrity every few weeks and incorporate elements of his/her personal style into my own outfits on a daily basis.<br />

Sounds like the most fun and baller job EVER. Real life aside, I found a post that featured the most beautiful over-the-knee boots I have ever seen in my entire life. Simple but not bland, worn but not rugged, <a href="http://toryburch.com/">Tory Burch</a> but not the <a href="http://www.toryburch.com/reva-shop">Reva flat</a>. I'm undeniably in love.

Gawd. These captures are from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375173/">Alfie</a>, one of the most depressing yet lesson-to-be-learned movies of all time, even if I was enjoying it with the best possible company (second family) in the best possible place (<a href="http://www.silversteinproperties.com/properties/one-river-place">One River Place</a>, apartment #428). But yeah, sucks to be Mr. Perpetual Bachelor, no? Someone cleely needs to watch this movie, maybe learn a thing or two... probz not though. xoxo gossip girl circa summer 2010.

Researching, taking notes on and applying successful celeb accessory usage tops my list of New Year's Resolutions, though. If I've learned absolutely anything this year, follow through is vital. So you have my word on this one; unlike the beginning of every other year where I vow to experiment with layered turquoise necklaces, brushed gold bangles and chunky rings... and then freak out and revert to my original <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/">Ann Taylor</a> single leaf-strand necklace (faded as it is)... I'm promising results in the shape and form of accessories responsible for tying every outfit together. No more intimidation factor. <a href="http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-100701/pid-320170/pgid-394446">Man Up.</a><div><br />

Let's be real. My ultimate goal is to beat the system and get the highest ROI on the amount I spent... dividing total retail cost by # of times used = "actual" cost (Hmm, $32.40 divided by 900 times worn... would make that cost pretty low. I'd say that's a good goal.) and perceived value to me as the consumer. I just love philosophizing aka justifying all my purchases. Maybe there is an up side to over-analyzing absolutely everything? Clearly. I know what's best for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Photos like this are the reason I respect Europeans so much. While these girls were just hanging out in between classes, their outfits are just so much more awesome and interesting than those of anyone you would find in the US, particularly at Wake. I don't remember if the glasses belonging to the girl on the left were solely for aesthetic purposes or not, but they just work. I love the interplay between her structured blazer (great metal hardware at the sleeves) and the hot pink pashmina that totally changes the outfit in a great way. The girl on the right has gorgeous haircolor, and she also makes great use of a rich knit scarf. I love her oversized parka for the soon-to-be chilly fall weather, and that pair of brown leather knee-high boots is an undeniable staple item that transcends all seasons.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After exchanging "do you know this place"'s regarding London and the several tube zones, I complimented them on their concepts of layering and balance (surprise, surprise). While the girl on the left probably was not even planning on being photographed in her ultra-casual outfit, I applaud her use of a zip-up vest over the simple grey hoodie. This look inspires me to try a fitted charcoal/grey hoodie (maybe zip-up, maybe not) under my black shrunken motorcycle jacket with the hood and longer sleeves exposed. I'm a fan of those skinny <a href="http://www.keds.com/">Keds</a> sneakers they're both wearing, now deemed rather city and hipster by brands like <a href="http://urbanoutfitters.com/">Urban</a>, selling a simple pair of cotton sneakers for upwards of $24. Ouch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A brother-sister graphic design team stationed in Valencia, I met this well-dressed group in line for bocadillos and onion rings. Classy, no? While looks like this are just finally starting to surface via fast fashion chains, the girl here dressed innovatively at least a year before her American counterparts... shame on our parts for not hitting the ground running in terms of the international fashion curve. I can't stop zeroing in on the wash of her grey leggings, which contrast sharply with the harsh line of her classic brown combat boots... utter perfection. And those guys are just awesome with the blazer/scarf/jean/sneaker combo. Casual yet put-together, something that 99.9% of straight guys in the US have yet to figure out, let alone master.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Currently working at an ad agency in her hometown of Vancouver (yes she's Canadian, but awesome), this girl knows exactly what flatters her enviable slender frame with a studded bodycon dress from <a href="http://zara.com/">Zara</a>. As I've stated earlier, I'm not a fan of cap-sleeves, but this dress not only makes the concept work, but creates a need for it in order to create the very best sense of cohesion. The cut-out laced black patent oxfords are also an incredible touch. Never at Wake would you find such awesome shoes to go with an otherwise classic LBD-- the toes are pointed! Inspirational to the max, I'm planing on style-stalking Loveleen's facebook to find more incredible ideas (thank you, and you better stick to that New Year's resolution so we can be blog bffl's).</div><br />

And I don't mean east coast to west, but from countries like Sweden (Molly, on the left) and England (Lizzie, on the right). Making use again of my favorite concept of balance, they both exhibit a sense of nonchalant, understated elegance that I respect so much. Instead of grabbing what's easiest and safest (read: ratty old zip-up hoodie) to pair with a pair of <a href="http://citizensofhumanity.com/">Citizens of Humanity</a> jeans and grossly-overplayed <a href="http://uggaustralia.com/">UGG</a>'s, I'd like to challenge more girls at Wake to utilize a crisp blazer, something that completely transforms an outfit. Entering the most fashionably conservative context possible, let's imagine an outfit constructed of a simple Hanes wifebeater and a pair of dark denim skinny jeans with cognac leather riding boots. Instead of going for the black <a href="http://thenorthface.com/">North Face</a> <a href="http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/womens-denali-jacket_2.html">Denali</a> (don't even get me started on the <a href="http://burberry.com/">Burberry</a> scarf, the constant peripheral good of this piece), a blazer brings the outfit full-circle and ensures a much more grown-up, polished look that a fleece zip-up otherwise would not warrant.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My party-hopping week in Vienna definitely allowed me to soak up as much global fashion as possible, so thank you again, Nats. And all in the kitchen of a university dorm? God, I love Europe. Only a year older than my sister, Tess is probably the coolest 17-year-old I know (16 at the time this photo was taken). I love how she uses the popping colorblock skirt to the outfit's advantage, that fuschia strip bringing to life the entire otherwise-monochromatic palette. Her friend on the right makes great use of those black leather over-the-knee boots, tied with tassels at the back adding dimension and texture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Interning for the likes of <a href="http://oscardelarenta.com/">Oscar de la Renta</a>, Hillary exudes the sophisticated dress of an UES socialite constructing her outfit from some of my very favorite esoteric labels-- <a href="http://www.larok.com/">LaROK</a> and <a href="http://www.misssixty.com/">Miss Sixty</a>-- and a touch of vintage with the chain-link bag she stole from her mom's closet. Mixing textures of the shiny silk blouse with the luxe white winter coat, Hillary's outfit screams nothing shy of remarkably put-together. In a single word: fabulous. While my tastes are beginning to lean more toward the spectrum of risky and even slightly ridiculous, this look reminds me of how fun it is to dress with some ladylike swag, as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was skeptical, initially writing if off as just another name to add to the hypothetical Rolodex of online boutiques, but after showing me her recent purchase, a pair of <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/reporting-for-duty-military-lace-up-boots-p-2183.html">taupe leather combat boots</a> for a mere $42, I starred the page and dove right in per usual.

While many of us were planning to raise our GPA's, drunk text a tad bit less and/or keep our thighs in manageable condition, <a href="http://www.dvf.com/">Diane Von Fursternberg</a>'s New Year's resolution was to make a name for herself in the world's fastest-growing market for fashion and luxury goods. Lofty goal, no? Enter China, which according to a recent <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">New York Times</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/fashion/19Diane.html?_r=1&ref=fashion">article</a>, can be described as "a nation where the Cult of Mao is quickly being supplanted by that of <a href="http://www.louisvuitton.com/">Louis Vuitton</a>, <a href="http://www.gucci.com/">Gucci</a> and <a href="http://www.armani.com/">Armani</a>." Well, thank God for that. With its fashion capital of Shanghai and the cultural metropolis of Beijing, why wouldn't <a href="http://www.dvf.com/">DVF</a> want to add a few push-pins on the map and increase her number of global boutiques past the current three dozen?<br />

</div><div><div>During a recent meeting in Beijing, everyone's favorite wrap-dress designer, along with her team of associates, prepared the Chinese for a future display quite appropriately titled, "Journey of a Dress". As expected, the retrospective presents <a href="http://www.dvf.com/">DVF</a>'s career, from the birth of her iconic signature design in the 1970's to the namesake fashion empire she's responsible for today. Getting China excited for a glitzy "Red Ball", Ms. Von Furstenberg is employing the help of one of her bffl's, Hong Huang, otherwise known as China's <a href="http://www.oprah.com/">Oprah</a>. No. Big. Deal. If business school has taught me anything, it's nice to have friends in high places, but it's even better to be a regular part of that network. I'm all for mutually beneficial strategic alliances, especially in this holiday season of giving (aww).</div><div><br />

</div><div>Following Anna Wintour's first exploration into the Middle Kingdom (which took place only a few weeks ago), <a href="http://www.dvf.com/">DVF</a> has even contemplated learning Mandarin... and we know as long as she doesn't take lessons for Moran, she'll be just fine. Continuously taking advantage of business opportunities from the beginning of her career until now, props to you, Ms. Von Furstenberg, for always challenging yourself and your brand, especially with this new mission to cater to the most intimidating market in the world. Needless to say, I'm very excited to see how this one turns out.</div><div><br />

When else does a handbag style's waiting list generate more hype than the design or origin of the bag itself? That's why I find it impeccably clever that a company cutely named <a href="http://www.thufri.com/">Thursday Friday</a> created the <a href="http://www.thufri.com/collections/together">Together</a> bag, a utilitarian piece to spark conversation among fellow fashionphiles. Reminiscent of a six-faced die (strongly resisting the urge to make some type of quant reference), the bag is printed on five sides, daring to propose a completely new type of statement.

So I was thinking... since I'm still at this over a year later, why not finally post the brilliant, inspirational London locals I photographed last F/W? According to my very favorite words from the wise <a href="http://kanyewest.com/">Louis Vuitton Don</a> (as terribly douchey as I'm sure many of you may believe him to be), <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7hiVqODCM4">"I know it's late and I took all year / but you can stop complainin', 'cause I'm finally here"</a>.<br />

I wasn't going to leave it and pray no one would notice, because let's be real-- who doesn't judge a book by its cover? Realizing my serious interest in fashion by age 9, I was obviously one of those kids. Now back to these girls I met in line for the <a href="http://www.londonfashionweekend.co.uk/">LFW</a> '09 indoor sample sales, I was mesmerized by their effortless skill of layering. Even though it was nearing October, the center girl clearly didn't let the sharp London wind stop her from sporting a rather leg-bearing structured skirt. Paired with a navy blazer and those badass motorcycle boots, she conveys a take-charge look that perfectly suits her build. This skirt and boot combo represents the perfect departure from the unfortunate American desire to perpetuate the destroyed jean skirt/sand-colored <a href="http://uggaustralia.com/">UGG</a>'s look. So high school, so Jersey and just so embarrassing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love Blink Girl's (please never let her find this site...) drapey chambray blazer; the zip detailing is very different from the typical single-button schoolboy blazers you find in preppy goldmines like <a href="http://jcrew.com/">J. Crew</a>. Ever since I read the <a href="http://teenvogue.com/">Teen Vogue</a> (if I remember accurately) feature in high school celebrating the combination of denim and cognac leather, I will always deem an outfit 900x more aesthetically pleasing should it display this particular interplay of color and texture. The girl on the right displays the quintessential candid celebrity outfit: oversized layered tops balanced with leggings and dainty ballet flats on the bottom. Seeing fashionable girls in group does to a certain extent seem to exemplify parts of the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cheerleader%20effect">Cheerleader Effect</a> (props, Mr. Stinson), but if anything, it works to your benefit if everyone is dressed consistently well.</div><br />

Making wonderful use of suede knee-high boots in two very different shades of brown, these girls played up their otherwise monochromatic outfits (besides the <a href="http://www.patriciafield.com/">Patricia Field</a>-designed limited edition <a href="http://popsop.com/27333">pink leopard-print Ugly Betty Coca-Cola bottles</a> we were gifted, of course. Yes, I still have mine). Standing by their neutral color palette, they make it work with their black minis and utilize shiny black leather in the form of an oversized tote and shrunken moto jacket to create another dimension for the top half of their outfits.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Because it's awesome to have a professor who sports a black leather motorcycle jacket, it was just as awesome to meet her niece Georgia, who expressed her fascination with American brands, particularly the very familiar <a href="http://abercrombie.com/">A&F</a> and <a href="http://hollisterco.com/">Hollister Co.</a>, and it was a great fashion-pertinent example of the cultural diffusion I learned so much about in Middle School.

How gorgeous are they? While the girl on the left's ensemble is not exactly groundbreaking and is actually rather reminiscent of the black elastic-waist colorblocked dresses I'm so very fond of (I say this dripping with sarcasm), it looks great on her, accentuating her tiny waist and hourglass figure. The girl on the right exhibits great use of dark tights and an adorably feminine dress. Usually I'm not the biggest fan of cap-sleeve blouses or dresses (this isn't fifth grade anymore, after all), but I am in awe of the major strengths of this dress. The jacquard fabric works perfectly with the textured trimming on the hem. The black vertical lines create a lengthening, corset effect, which I love. Certain dresses and tops get this line concept terribly wrong, but this is great.</div><br />

This girl's outfit isn't in any way over the top because it's quite the opposite: dressing well because it's the norm, not the exception. I love that in London, you can walk around for five minutes and find that nearly every female dresses like she walked out of an international fashion magazine without even trying. And I ask, why can't Americans everywhere dress like this? Instead, they resort to designer denim (yes, intuitively good) but pair it with something blah like a candy-colored <a href="http://www.michaelstars.com/">Michael Stars</a> or <a href="http://www.threedots.com/">Three Dots</a> cotton top (usually costing somewhere between a painful $50-$100... for a plain cotton tee. Why.), a black pashmina and <a href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/">Sperry's</a>, defending their need to "look put together". Or maybe I'm just channeling the South. Regardless, this girl's use of balance and dark colors is just fantastic overall.</div><br />

What's not to love? Sure, it's slightly crazy, but that's also what's so damn commendable. Huge fluffy jackets, skinny jeans and shiny oxfords. While present-day American girls are just starting to experiment gingerly with one of the above trends, London locals seem to just have it in their blood to take risks and go a little wild. The best part is, to them, this is no big deal, even mild relative to actually going out of their way to dress with true innovation on the mind.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">In short, while I undoubtedly wasn't the happiest girl in the world in London (minus spending 100% of my time with the wonderful Kristen Wood), I turned it around, learning a hell of a lot about myself and my interests, and was able to absorb as much as possible about their fashion-obsessed culture and norms of dressing. Juxtaposing a typical outfit of a British university student with that of a typical Wake Forest undergrad (guy or girl), I can't help but shake my head in disbelief at the extreme discontinuity in what's considered clean-cut and even worse, "cute". We'll see how this new year shapes up.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Six legitimate items for a total of $97. I love you, <a href="http://forever21.com/">Forever 21</a>, but only somewhat. Let's please not get into the gritty details of the plastic-<a href="http://www.aeropostale.com/">A<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15px;"><i style="font-style: normal;">é</i></span>ropostale</a>-drawstring-shopping-bag-toting preteens greatly representational of how do we put this... the very worst of Middle America. Or shall we? Unfortunately, these little 14-year-olds sporting vom-inducing light wash <a href="http://www.ae.com/">American Eagle</a> bootcut denim (thanks to some very indicative back-pocket stitching) and imitation signature <a href="http://www.coach.com/">Coach</a> handbags (even more vom-inducing) are the ones responsible for giving discount chains like <a href="http://forever21.com/">Forever</a> and <a href="http://www.hm.com/">H&M</a> an at-times horrendous name. Surely, the all-too-diverse offerings cater to a world-- and I mean a world-- of individuals, but that's why it takes me so much damn time and effort to peruse the entire store counter-clockwise at least five times (obsessive process, I know), then take about 900 items into the fitting room six at a time before deciding to purchase an average of two to three items at most. It's worth it, though, because when I found that perfect $50 black faux-leather jacket to pair with my ankle-zipper <a href="http://diesel.com/">Diesel</a> <a href="http://www.diesel.com/collection/diesel/dsl-fw2010-denim">Zivy jeans</a> or my fuschia-over-black layered <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=8961&PageID=38487297060661&kw=Aqua&loc=leftnav">Aqua</a> skirt, it's like my worlds collided, counter-intuitively entering a serene sartorial high/low balance.<br />

</div>As I continue my conspicuously snobby rant, let me just say, shame on the few bad apples who do purchase the legitimate-enough looking fur vest but decide to pair it with plastic leggings from <a href="http://aldo.com/">Aldo</a> (<a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/accessories/womens/legwear/79066482-torreano/70">the ones that come packaged are NEVER a good idea</a>) and dare I say, classic short <a href="http://www.uggaustralia.com/">UGG</a>'s. Whyyyyy. These clueless souls serve as a microcosm for the entire poorly-dressed global population, sporting items that either a) are an ill fit for their hair/skin/body type, b) clash painfully and/or distastefully with the the rest of their clothing choices, c) are a fashion travesty for the amount they paid, or sadly, d) all of the above. What kills me is that these stores continue to manufacture some of the most heinous items possible in calculating hopes that they'll generate profit (which they do), when in reality what they're doing is perpetuating the general acceptance of poorly-constructed garments originating from less-than-favorable fabric... and this is even BEFORE the said bargain hunters blindly and haphazardly throw the pieces together, exclaiming the all-too-familiar, "Oh, this looks SO cute!!!". Spare me.<br />

I agree that the endless process of sifting through racks and bins in hopes of stumbling upon something a bit more brilliant than poly-cotton tops and subpar denim is what makes fast fashion such an adventure, but come on.

Clearly, I haven't studied my español since senior year of high school when I somehow managed to receive a 4 on the AP exam, but what can I say? Everything Señor has taught me since seventh grade stuck. Now, who would have thought I would be applying this knowledge to my own little fashion blog so many years later? More importantly, who would have thought I would reference two professors in one post? Creepy. Moving on.<br />

</div><div>In essence, partying happens here. Party is not a passive verb, but if you understand what I'm trying to convey, it just kind of works... similar to how "fratting" became a gerund as ubiquitous among my daily vocabulary as is the word "Calloway". Double lives, anyone? But I digress. So it's that time of year again: final exams, heinous Christmas sweaters and apparently, chasing black raspberry Belvedere with Four Loko. Christmas time is upon us, meaning New Years isn't far behind. I always like to give a nod to everyone's beloved <a href="http://topshop.com/">Topshop</a> during the holidays because it's a brand which exudes such sparkle year-round. In short, if the holidays were rolled up into a sole apparel brand, <a href="http://topshop.com/">Topshop</a> would be it. This year's NYE selections highlight texture, movement and simplicity-- three of my favorite concepts for sure. Last year, I was about vintage (thanks, Mom) mixed with fast fashion basics; now, I'm intrigued by understated pieces that can be played up by meticulous details and loud-in-a-good-way accessories.</div><div><br />
