Summer....get here quick!

Today my addiction is...this very Missoni-esque maxi length dress (at only a miniscule fraction of the cost!) by H&M. Good luck to those of you that can get your hands on one! I know I tried and it proved unsuccessful :(. For some reason this reminds me of when Roberto Cavalli launched his line for H&M and people were tackling and wrestling each other just to get their hand on something, anything, didnt matter the size. I remember one lady grabbing a bunch of zebra print tops and dresses from one of the employees and scurrying off like she had found some treasure- or "stole" some treasure (since that's exactly what it looked like!). So I guess this isn't the greatest comparrison, but for those of us who appreciate our "Missoni" and just can't afford it, we know how it feels! I love clothing launches, I hate the line-ups and I definately hate being at the end of the line- and left with NOTHING :(. I guess its about the atmosphere....if you like the hunt, the battles and the "jungle" of the "fashion hungry" then these launches are for you! hmmmm....people watching....fun....

I'm itching for the summer! I've converted and made this transition from the mini to the maxi. It's a great alternative for those of us who wish to keep our pastely white legs to ourselves!

Day 1



So....I had the random urge to start a "fashion blog" and probably chose a poor time to do it considering it is exam week....BUT thats ok...so I guess i'll start off with my new current addiction which is ...American Apparel right now. Yes I know, a little cliche...but I seem to find myself going onto their site day to day just to look at the awesome ads...I don't care what they say about Dov- he is a marketing genius...creating a brand by being "brandless". AND paying his workers decent wages...more incentive for me to shop there! I just ordered a cute gold lame bodysuit and it is to die for. The only problem is finding the place to wear it. I might venture out in my high waisted white denim pants, gold bodysuit and some wayfarers. They have a lot of great wardrobe staple pieces at fraction of the prices you might pay at any other "up-scale" store. Check it out, they ship their items pretty quickly and if you spend over $50 (and trust me, thats not too hard to do) then shipping is free!

This is the bodysuit- looks like a bathing suit but like the site says- its not made for the water. But hey, if you are wearing a suit this hot, who cares!? I could soak up all the rays and be perfectly happy just laying in the sand on the beach. Hmmm...I just might buy another in Lame black. Pair this with some lack eyeliner and a fierce attitude- I'm set!
