Vogue’s February 2010 Shoot: “Edgy Equestrian Fashion”

Vogue saddles up for “equestrian” inspired style, in this month’s issue.









Cover Story: “Model Constance Jablonski makes her American debut in an equestrian-themed editorial in the Vogue February 2010 issue. Photographed by Raymond Meier and styled by Elissa Santisi, the Vogue February 2010 shoot features spring’s hottest new accessories including the saddle-leather hobo bag and saddle-strapped watch. With creamy leathers and rich, complementary palettes, Meier captures this regal barnyard shoot perfectly with his hyper-real style.”

To be equestrian, (if you haven’t caught on the theme already) is to wear horse back riding attire. But haven’t this trend out for awhile? I mean, if you look at designers such as Ralph Lauren, it put a inspiration for this spring.

To all my little fashion monsters – XO !

A PaperDoll Tribute: RIP Alexander McQueen

British fashion icon, Alexander McQueen (6 March 1969 – 11 February 2010) who died at 40, committed suicide and found in his home earlier this morning in London, when his mother passed away days before.







He was indeed a mastermind in his work. Such a tradegy. May he rest in peace, and his legacy lives on in the fashion world.

So I went to the store to get a relaxer and pads, and I kinda detoured to the rack of magazines! And so, I picked up Seventeen and I started to read it. Not to mention this month’s issue is pretty good! I keep flipping through pages and it caught my eye…Nomination for a lucky Real Girl to be on the cover! I mean, about time because I always see celebrities on the cover of magazines although when off set they are “real” girls I just think somebody out the ordinary should be on the cover for once. I’d like for everyone to nominate me for the “real” girl cover for next month’s issue. You can cast your vote at ann@seventeen.com or post at facebook.com/annshoket stating : “I’d like to nominate real girl, Alexis Morrison to be on the cover of seventeen magazine for next month’s issue.” Thank You.

"Kickin' It Up A Notch"

Lately, I’ve been thinking to kick this blog up a notch. After a month, I think I’ve found my niche — strictly high fashion. Even though, I stick in something here or there, I didn’t drift from why I originally started this blog, as for fun and practice, a place where I’am allowed to express my feelings, and to show that 14 year old can go far where dreams can take her. After all, god blessed me along with a pair of wings. I soar far out so that I’m in my own world that nobody can take me out of, and with a little determination, I will get there…slowly, but surely without a doubt.

"That's Like, So Overrated." : The Do's and Dont's for 2010!

*Laughs*

I know what you’re thinking, what is she laughing about? Well, I thought about what people wore back in 2009, and back in the last decade it has been. I thought about what people wore and some are bringing this same fashion into 2010 and it’s a DONT. Tell me things that you are tired to see what people are (still) wearing, and what is a DO or things that should be a DO to see in 2010 (in the comment box below). I’m eager to see what you all came up with. Since it’s a new year, it’s time for new look, don’t you think?

xOXo little fashion monsters.

Gaga Fever.

Lately, I just been having “Gaga Fever.” This term is referring to women (and possibly men) who has transitioned in a fashion state of mind; meaning one being a lady gaga different. And, probably this is why…

M.I.A. 's New Song, Space Odyssey (For OL Dat I See) / Her Style

M.I.A. is back ! Her work is creative and articulate. I love her. When she gotten pregnant, I haven’t heard from her ever since ‘Paper Planes’. I want to say congrats to her baby boy, Ikhyd (first erroneously reported as Ickitt) Edgar Arular, and I wish her (and family) the best this new year.





“The Unique Style of M.I.A.”

If you’ve seen the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” or be anywhere near electronic hip hop in the past two years, then you’ve heard of M.I.A., the sultry British visual artist and songwriter. She loves her colors, her patterns, and the outrageous mixture of the two, and now you can be a part of it with her new clothing line!

"The Smitten Mittens"

MittenBerry Mittens – $24.99

Ahh! Frost Bite! I think it was time to get some gloves, it was going to be now or never. Soo I went on a mission to find (cute) gloves and after hours of searching — All I can say is, these mittens are so cute. I stumbled upon them on mittenberry.com and I was like, ” I gotta have these.” They have three colors to choose from:

Blush...


Gray...


…and Snow.


As I’m going down my checklist, it’s warm, cute… and oh, you have a free thumb to text. wait. WHAT? PLUS!! :-D

"Sea Sick"

While when I was internet Shopping, I spot a trend for spring 2010, "Nautical". From litte anchor jewelry, to sailor tailored dresses, I am thrilled for this upcoming spring. I'am so excited I already started saving some money to put some spring in my step with a fresh look.

Individuality.

Silence & Noise Strong Shoulder Dress – $58.

(at UrbanOutfitters.com)

“[Your Name], think out side the box.”

Ahh, I stumbled across this dress when I was Internet shopping and all i could say about this dress is hot. Although it’s a fashion throwback (from the 80s) this dress is edgy, different (of which reminds me of Lady Gaga), and most of all, chic.

Anyways, when I was reading the reviews on the dress (more like scanning through) people say that they don’t like how the shoulders stick out alot and causes so much attention. Well, I personally think:”You shouldn't have bought it.” Not to be mean, but HELLO! If you didn’t know by now, it is an BOLD dress just as you were BOLD enough to buy it. I can’t stress it enough (and i see it everyday!) that people are afraid to be different. I’am peeved (even to say) that when i see people with the same thing on, or even worst—they go ahead and get the same thing what I wear! Afraid of judgement, criticism, or even rejection maybe? Individuality is the qualities that set one person or thing off from all others; the quality or state of being an individual. Take this from a trendsetter and go for it.

Chanel Condoms!? Lets Have Sex in Style.

“For Use By Trendy Sluts”
When I heard of Chanel’s Condoms, I thought this was just a joke. But really, there arent and cost $279 for a pack (I think). Who would’ve thought of Chanel Condoms? Nicee.

"Girls' Morning Out"

Fashion expresses a person from head to toe and everything in between. On a sunday morning, my mother and I went on our “girls’ morning out”. We went to the nail salon. The nail technician asked what we wanted and directed us to the two seats available. Immediately, We gotten our nails started. “Design?” The man asked my mother. “No, french tip.” she replied. She always either gets cotton candy or french. “Why you always settle for something plain? Express yourself.” I said to her. “Yes, sure it expresses yourself but a woman and a man told me, it portrays something your not.” She said. “L-Like a nasty girl?” I asked. “Very much so.” She replied. I was stunned. And when the woman just got done with my last nail, I told her, “Take it all off. I don’t want my designs anymore.” She obviously seemed upset. I think she was so upset that she was talking about me when she was speaking in her first language. :D

The "Fashion 360"

*Shrieks!* "Mom. Don't you think this is sooo cute?" I asked. "Oh, I had something like that." My mother replied. I frowned. "Mom, why is it everything I pick up you always say the same thing?" I asked. She gotten slient and looked at me and finally said: "Turn around and keep spining until I tell you to stop.*Spinning* Stop. Well. As you know, I'm just as obsessed with fashion as you are. Clothes just goes and comes back into fashion, modernized. And, some things terminate or will always be in fashion." "Like a 360?" I asked. "More like a Fashion 360."

Definition Please?

Paper Doll (adj.) - A term referring to an upper-middle class or a upper class teenage girl. While girls think that she seemingly "has it all", guys think that she's physically attractive and this paper doll is completely aware of that! I mean, A girl who is materialistic (rather convincing), a people's person (popular), intelligent (also ambitious), straight-forward, and innocent maybe? Probably just because money is her "bestest" friend. Oh, and if you didnt know by now, if you hear a paper doll talks about her self a lot, or is in the mirror 24/7, that's probably because she's self-centered. There is much egoism in these girls. They believe that they don't have that kind of insecurity to compare themselves or to have the time to talk about others. More like you? Consider yourself as one! :)
