Pop.

pop magazine.

covers.

so i think i either did a post like this before or was thinking about doing one. whatever the case may be, i'm going to do it anyway, whether i did it or not.

so magazine covers are so important. being that i love fashion but am also in love with prints, layouts, ads, etc..i think that the cover to a major publication has got to be on point, or else no one will pick it up. pop has a phenomenal way of grabbing readers attentions. they always have such artistic flairs to all of their covers that are so eye-popping. the photography is always hella cool, as well as the colors, angles, and the models that are chosen. as you can see, i dig the shit out of pop magazine haha.

anyways, i'm going to go look at more reviews from paris fashion week. i'll keep you guys posted on the lasted stuff. toodles. ;)

wow, this is perplexing. dreams are so fascinating. i always wonder what goes on inside of the deepest layer of one's mind when they drift off into slumber. what really happens in there.? what scares them, makes them smile, or truly happy. dreams can take shape in a variety of forms and mean so many different things. i've always been piqued and amused by dreams and how you can close your eyes and drift off into a world that only takes place within the freedom of a person's subconscious imagination. it's enchanting to think about, isn't it? but can also take a dark form...and even be quite scary. but isn't that the magic of it all.

okay, okay, soooo i'm pretty sure my exclusive blog followers were already anticipating me to comment and i wanted to wait until the show yesterday to say anything. if you take a second to go back and look around my blog, you'll see plenty of galliano and dior posts all over the place. it is very clear that i'm pretty much a die-hard fan. and that's a big deal to me because since i consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable in this industry (well from an outside perspective) i try my hardest to absorb myself in a plethora of other designers and labels...but john galliano is always and has always been on the top of my list. yes, he has gotten a bit more conservative and less "out there" over the years, buuttttt that's okay. there's still plenty of people, like myself, who continue to enjoy and admire his work. when i found out what happened to him i almost cried. i couldn't believe it. i was like, "nawwww, there's no way my boy jay gee could everrr say anything racist or antisemitic." but then, i saw that video clip.....good going john. i was in total shock. how could someone that i've idolized forever and did nothing but praise on a daily basis do such a terrible thing...

i know he was probably under the influence of god knows what, but there's really no excuse for this type of behavior. i'm truly disappointed. and dior had zero tolerance for this. they kicked him to the curb as soon as the accusations became public. they gave good old johnny the boot. sooo now, the fans, the industry, the whole world even,...sits and waits. who will be crowned as the new head designer for christian dior. well..you know they MUST be off the chain because dior is the epitome of fashion houses as well as being a part of one of the exclusive and recognized haute couture labels. i'm kind of excited, but then sad. i want to see what happens. it's like a new era in fashion  is about to begin. ....just wonder what's going to happen to by boy galliano. oh well, we'll see. hopefully he can get it together and overcome this obstacle.

here's some pics from the show.

i was a little on the fence about it. great color choice, lush fabrics, then they moved onto lighter more airy things towards the end...but it really didn't have too much spark or life to it. i don't know,...kinda boring if ya ask me. anyways, have a great day fashionistas (i know i will.)

don't you love the cool kids.? we all know that we secretly do. no matter where you live or how you were brought up, those cool kids were always around. if you were one of them, more kudos to you. if not, which is most of the world, we all know that their are certain individuals that everyone tends to always idolize. what is it about the human race that makes us so unsatisfied with our own selves that we always try to imitate what other people are or what they are doing. i want to say to all of my little fashionistas out there, that it's always better to be yourself. if it's really within you to go out there and be rebellious and do things against the norms of society, then go ahead.(as long as you're not hurting anyone). if it's you to sit inside all day and read up on shakespeare and marlow, then you do that. if it's you to study up on the latest medical journal findings then by all means, do that. i wish that everyone could just learn to be comfortable with themselves, then i'm pretty sure if you stay true to that, then others will begin to admire the qualities that you possess, and you never know, you might become that cool kid after all. have a good one guys, stay safe.

wow, the depths of every human being is such an interesting topic that i could literally sit here and spend hours talking about. but, i'm not going to do that lol. i promise i'll try not to write an entire doctoral thesis on this subject. haha., anywaysss...this is so sinister, so intense, so deranged, and at the same time, so stunning. the darkness that lives deep down inside of some people's hearts is absolutely fascinating. i'm a firm believer in the thought that everyone, no matter who you are, has the capability to be creative, artistic, and look at things with deeper meaning which can then lead them to something great and they then have the power to discover the utmost wildest of things. BUT, i also think that this can only happen if one frees their mind to allowing such thoughts to enter their state of being. sometimes it can allow for them to be blissful, or can open up a window of burdensome sorrow. you never know. but i encourage everyone to explore their inner most self and really get to know the depths of their own heart. look at things in a new way and see if you can find a hidden meaning to what is going on in the world around you. if it ends up driving you mad, i apologize lol, (whoops) but if it liberates you to a greater enlightenment or essence, then by all means, go crazy. alrighty, hope you guys have a wonderful day.

there's something about simplicity mixed with elegance that transpires into artlessness and sincerity.

i think the cover for this high fashion russian magazine embodies all of those things. the softness and subtlety makes it all the more enthralling. as a person walking past this cover, i would immediately stop in my tracks and find myself going backwards to open up the pages and see what's inside. fashion is magic, embrace it, enjoy it, live it.

"Expression Rigurative"

well, this caught my attention and actually scared me for half a second lol.

i think the blue over-tone as well as the pink/purple hues in the makeup make this extra dope.

i'm tellin' ya, and i'll say it until i die, vogue paris is my favorite vogue of all time.

carine roitfeld is my girl and everyone else who works for that magazine. you guys know they always put out the most interesting, creative, and captivating issues of their publication. i love it. they win, hands down. sorryy...

Boredom.

image taken by me!

i'm trying out my photography skills haha.

dig it??

today was such a blahh day. i didn't have to work, and i don't feel like going out...soo i spent all day catching up on the mtv skins episodes that i missed and listening to music. i've also been obsessed with looking at clothes that i cannot afford, talking to old friends, and playing with my hair.

sounds fun right? lol, yeah, pretty boring if you ask me. i've been in this strange mood lately where i just simply don't have the energy to do anything..that's not good is it?? i know...oh well.

i've finally started reading the vogue us for march 2011...it's good so far i suppose.

i still have to go out and buy the harper's bazaar and elle us for this month, but the problem is i have no money. i seem to always blow it on candy and junk food, even though i don't even end up eating it all due to my severe lack of appetite. and i'm sure all of you are also just as pissed off as i am about these sky high gas prices. i'm to the point now where i'm probably going to start riding my bike everywhere haha...then i'll have some pretty killer big thighs, ehhh i don't want that lol.

okay, well...i just really wanted to show you guys this awesome picture i took today on my crappy camera, hope you like it. oh and be sure to check out my new youtube channel, no one's been subscribing to it. i need more subscribers like i had on my other one...so check it out.

i have yet to decide whether or not this is meant to be taken serious or if it's supposed to be fun..hmm..i wonder.

either way, i like it.

it looks like flashes of nostalgia that are supposed to come from some deep and provocative love novel or something. it also seems to have quite a bit of latin influences due to the style of the images, her hair, the wardrobe choices, as well as the abundance of florals. this is pretty cool..i guess.

A White Story.

sasha pivovarova and guinevere van seenus.

vogue italia.

april 2010.

by: paolo roversi.

(i am so surprised that i have never seen this before.) anyways, who ever thought white could be so haunting.? i mean look at his, everything is white, they're hella pale, the lighting is even washed out but everything still seems really scary and demented....and i like it. haha. i wish that i was good with a camera, or that i owned  a really nice one. every time i try to save up to buy my nikon, i always end up spending my money on some pointless thing that i don't need..i need to learn better budgeting skills.... the coldness of their eyes and the chalkiness of it all makes this particular editorial so fascinating. they look so depressed and bummed out on life it's ridiculous. i'm thinking that their clothes being tattered as well as the overall mood itself is trying to point out the unhappiness of many women...being forced to act and live in a perfect world, but yet they face many deep problems that eat away at them internally which leads to self destruction..not saying that they look like they're about to kill themselves, but to me it seems like they're on their way unless they decide to step out and getting a little sunshine in their lives lol. i think this also points out how certain things that women are expected to do such as get married, have children, be a "lady", so on and so forth really tear aways at people. when they give in to the pressures that they are faced with, they're left very unhappy, bitter, alone, cold, and often dead inside. sasha and guinevere are very good models that are excellent in shoots like this because they always seem to be good at telling a story, portraying a character, selling the clothes, as well as looking artistic and "fashiony" at the same time. bravo darlings. more of these chicks out here need to take notes. you guys are some outstanding professionals. =)

milan fashion week.

ok, so i'm thinking that of all the fashion weeks for fall 2011 that have gone on so far, milan is definitely in the lead for the best shows. i had a rough time trying to choose which show i wanted to discuss...soo i picked this one. the prada show has been getting amazing reviews and a ton of attention. it supposedly start an hour or so late because of model issues, then they had to replace a bunch of people at the last minute, there's debate over who opened the show..sooo a lot of drama went down, but the show ended up being amazing. miuccia amazes me every time. this collection was so fun, bright, eye-catching, and different. instead of focusing on women as wild sex vixens, she then wanted to make them look chic but with an innocence to them, and i think she did a good job of pulling that off. the show opened with these amazing jackets and dresses. there really wasn't anything too form fitting. there were a lot of thick fabrics, fur, and drop waists. but she managed to make it all look flattering and still feminine. there were amazing glasses and reverences to aviation via the head gear that was shown. i'm thinking about doing a post on hats later on because 1. i wear them ALL THE TIME and 2. i think they're a great accessory that really helps bring out beauty in people who have amazing facial features. so anyways, towards the end she moved onto this funky plastic, shiny, stuff that was used on the dresses, tops, and skirts. i think she did a job well done with the color choices for those particular garments, as well as the overall clothing construction. there were sweet clutches that the models held tightly as they walked through this complicated runway set up. hmmm..this post is getting rather long so i think i'm going to wrap it up now. alrighty, here's my favorite looks.

i don't know about you guys, but lately...besides the amazing items being displayed at fashion week...i've really been drawn to simplicity and not so "up-tight" fashion images, just like this one.

i like her pose, her hair, the minimal makeup, as well as her outfit.

i think things like these tend to relate more towards the average person who is seeking their own true sense of style instead of trying to be a label whore, that so many people seem to fall victim to.

Abstract Art.

john larson.

contemporary painter.

from new jersey.

okie dokie folks, soooo i don't really want to overwhelm everyone with a ton of fashion week posts because i think that would get just a tad bit too repetitive and possibly even a little boring, aaand we don't want that. sooo i thought that i'd go ahead and introduce you guys to another artist. as most of you are well aware, i am a big art geek. i get told daily that i am a hipster artsy person, and hey, i'm fine with that. it's my thing. lol. so i find this john larson guy pretty amazing. he does these incredible abstractions and fuses a variety of colors together to create these awesome textures that you can't help but be mesmerized by. it's pretty genius if you ask me. he started off doing simple still life paintings and it seems as though he got a little too bored with them. i can totally agree. as a person who does art on the regular, i can safely say that still life things do get a little blah after awhile. in order to really get deep into your emotions and create something that really captivates your feelings, i think that abstractions are the way to go. and that's exactly what mr. larson did. he uses mainly acrylic paints and blends the most vibrant colors together on canvas to create these epic works of art. all of them contain a similar technique but, to me, are all so different. really look at them and find the deeper meanings to them that rests beyond the paint.

have a nice days guys.

bye! =)

Badgley Mischka.

new york fashion week.

fall 2011.

ready-to-wear.

this is so much fun. i have always been a huge admirer of badgley mischka because i love mark and james' take on everything. they always create such wonderful elegant pieces that make me wish i had the money to afford them. this particular collection caught me by surprise because i wasn't expecting the show to pop, and be as loud as it was. now, in comparison to someone like betsey johnson or something it's awfully soft, but for badgley mischka, this is quite colorful and full of exuberance, and i love it. the colors revolved around black, turquoise, and fuchsia. but then, they also incorporated this sickest draping and bits of sparkle to catch all of the spectator's attention as the models walked down the runway. this was a very glamorous show. i enjoyed every bit of it. i also really liked the runway color against the clothes, i feel like it made them stand out more and complimented them in a cool way. it was all a mix of 30s and 40s hollywood glamour, simply breathtaking. i had a really hard time trying to choose the stills from the show that were my favorites to show you guys but it was soo difficult. i got all these pics off of style.com, so you can check that out...or you can google the show and see more reviews and commentary on it as well. have a lovely day fashionistas, tah-tah for now.
