well, It's Day 22, tomorrow is the first day back.
After long days of research, I has finally come to my last post.
And I only missed what...10 posts? pretty good! huh? huh?
fine. be that way.
Anyways, I do believe I have come to a conclusion.
I was right in my first post. pink bubble dress and leather jacket are still the best combo.
until I remembered it's gonna be warm tomorrow. So scratch the leather jacket.
Now re-imagine.
Pink bubble dress on top of grey plaid skinny jeans and band t-shirt, with peter pan boots,and statement bangles.
Wow, I just summed up like 10 posts all in one outfit.
I LOVE this blog!
well, that is all for today, but I will be back to plan my winter wardrobe. thanks for tuning in!
Au Revoir!!

Day 3--Plaid
I feel it necessary for today's blog to be about the biggest trend this season.
Plaid.
Yeah plaid, like what the lumberjacks wear, but on *real people. Like this.
Plaid has invaded the runways, everyone is trying to get their hands on it. From Marc by Marc Jacobs to Liz Claiborne.
Plaid is it.
And I am not exaggerating. It is everywhere.
Which is why I feel the need to write about it today.
Now don't get me wrong, i love plaid as much as the next person, but it is just so overdone! I couldn't turn one page in 'Teen Vogue' without seeing it. Couldn't walk through one store in the mall without being blinded by the overwhelming amount of red plaid shirts, dresses, and jeans.
Just the quantity of the print is terrifying. Take a good look at the models shown above.
Now try to tell me that it doesn't look like those models have been eaten by an angry lumberjack.
uh huh. That's what I thought.
Although I must say, plaid is one of those amazingly versatile prints. It works for every season, every event.
A bright blue plaid in summer is fun and playful. A red plaid in winter is cozy and warm.
But that is the problem. It is all red plaid. red. not blue, or yellow, or green.
It just seems so wintry. Like something you wear while sitting in front of the fireplace.
And hopefully I'm not alone in trying to postpone winter for as long as possible.
Which is why I will be sticking with my hot pink bubble dresses and leather peter pan boots for now.

Day 1-- Leather
Hello world.
Today is Day one of my 3 week journey through fashion.
My mission, find my perfect style for the fall season.
The deadline, the first day back to school.
The trick? Everything is inspired by my trusted fashion magazines. Elle, Teen Vogue, Fashion, and Seventeen.
So today, I will be investigating a recent fad. The leather jacket.
Yeah, that's right, anyone who has been reading these magazines must have seen the excessive amount of leather jackets right?
It was number four in Elle's 'Hit List'.
Teen Vogue's "Urban Chic Must Have"
It just goes with the whole "femme fetal" thing that invaded the fall runway.
Luckily I like this look. So I put it to the test.
I went out and bought myself a new leather....well pleather, jacket, for $30 from Stitches.
And I must say, I am thoroughly in love with it!
Now, try to imagine a harsh black leather biker jacket placed with a hot pink bubble dress. Pull up the sleeves, add a few bangles, and you got one sexy outfit.
And with that in mind, I went out and bought new shoes to match.
My father described them as "Peter Pan with a Motorcycle".
Translation: I get to be eternally young AND I have a motorcycle.
How can you go wrong?
So for all of you afraid of going out in a leather jacket and a cocktail dress, remember the lesson of the day.
Leather is your friend.
