Gossip Girl



Blair Waldorf- At first I doubted you for your outlandish outfits, but now I'm starting to see the rhythm and ease with which you wear these attires. I'm starting to look forward to seeing what you've put together for your ensemble each week. I'm starting to think that perhaps I should purchase a headband with a big bow on it and wear black tights with dresses on a daily basis. Everyone was focused on Serena's big entrance, but what I'm starting to see now is that the focus has shifted. Looking forward to what you'll wear next week... xoxo!

I'm leaving on a jet plane...

Tomorrow I'm flying home for a few days and then I'm on vacation in Florida after that. So, I won't be posting much information. If I get the chance I'll get on and put up some news, but in case I don't, this will probably be my last post of 2007.

I started this blog in October and I've really enjoyed it every day since then. It's been a great experience and really provided me with a wonderful outlet for dumping all of the images and thoughts in my head in one place. I feel like my mind is much clearer now that I have this and I'm really starting to enjoy new things in life.

I have found new blogs each week to tune in to. Right now my favorites are listed on my blog, but in case you haven't had a chance to check out the new ones- please do. They are:
I Am Fashion, Get Glamorous and Frugal- Fashionista. They really do have great insight into the fashion world and all at very different perspectives. I can relate to each of them on a different level and appreciate each in a new way. I hope you're able to enjoy them as much as I do!

So, have a great holiday season and a happy new year and I will see everyone in 2008!

Frugal-Fashionista


Inspired by the Frugal-Frashionista, a site I visit daily now, I decided to find a celebrity's outfit for less. I have a lot of flying to do in the coming weeks and I need ideas for how to fly fashionably and comfortably. So, here is one outfit.
