links

I haven't done this in a while, but here are some goodies for all you lovely dearies.



I want to go somewhere cold just to see people like this.

Inspiring.

The best way to mend a booboo, besides a kiss.

Knock yourself out.

People really are creative.

Amazing, cute, and quite a dilemma.

Black and beautiful figures.

Would you like to live in these?

How to be invisible.

:)

I want.

Short list, but that's all for today. Must really work on those college apps...!!!

corsets

There is something so seductive and beautiful about corsets. And it's really incredible how the form allows for so much creativity. There are SO MANY looks corsets can achieve... I actually think I just have a secret love for bust detailing. One of my projects to do before I die is to make a corset. These are so inspiring and amazing. Some designs to lust after:


Paul and Joe
cute and fresh... a girlish twist on the corset

Tuleh
super sweet and kind of reminds me of porcelain

Rue du Mail
i love how this is a reminiscent of a suit... corset + suit= amazing


Dior
strong and beautiful, love the vintage detailing

unknown
contrast between the small tighter bust area with the voluminous ruffles

Yves St. Laurent
hot. want one.

Peter Jensen
looks like denim. denim ruffles on a corset? lovely. good combination of textures and surprisingly unique. love the golf/sporty mood


Carmen Marc Valvo
subtle scalloped edges on netted lace corset, great contrast to loose gold pants

Isaac Mizrahi
adorable


Thakoon Panichgul
love the unusual print, a fresh take on a piece usually made with lace, leather


Antonio Berardi
sheer fabric sprinkled with sequins, seductive and glamorous

Bottega Veneta
relaxed, clean, crisp. a corset in the cleanest form

Dolce and Gabbana
classy shape, gold, nice fabric texture

hair envy



So I stumbled on this and well. It's interesting. First things first though... I'm literally turning into a witch envying her hair. It's amazing.

Second, I really like her outfit; it's super appropriate with the furry skirt and climbing floral top. Way to incorporate theme and fashion and look good doing it. Good job Blake Lively.

This reminds me, I really want to see Where the Wild Things Are. I haven't hit the movies in a disgustingly long time and it's about time. Maybe after my early application is done...

By the way, nude pump love <3.

here we go~


So. It's time for another rambly life post haha.

Hum.. It's senior year and well. Actually it isn't that bad. My academics are relatively balanced and not TOO difficult. Extracurriculars are piling up but eh. What else is new.

This year I joined Mock Trial, basically to kind of try something new. It's been pretty good so far, although I need to work on a specific character for my witness statements. Other than that, I'm also trying to get in Speech and Debate again this year... not sure how well that is going to turn out. It's pretty difficult to find the time to prepare and go to the tournaments, but I would really like to compete again in OPP or try out Impromtu speaking or Parliamentary Debate.

Marching Band has been... alright. Not the greatest year for me for a number of reasons, but I still love the people and friendships forged through marching band. Definitely one of the best experiences of my high school life; I will miss it when it's over.

Howler, Amnesty, and ATA have been all pretty good. I'm just trying to stay on top of stuff and not die. Heh.

This year has been pretty good in part because ... I don't know. I guess over the summer I realized how awful last year was, and how much of it was made worse by my constant complaining and whining. This year, I'm vowing to stay optimistic, and actually focus and get things done. It cuts down on the complaining and life is much nicer :). Though last year was really hectic, I'm glad that I learned a valuable lesson about balance and stress-management... and basically learned how to just suck it up and DO IT.

However... college apps. I really need to get going on that. I've started, but I pretty behind as of now. I think I'm applying early; if I manage to get in somewhere, it'll be so nice just KNOW in like December. I'll basically be home-free for like 6 months... Ah...

Early apps are due Nov. 1 so uhm... yeah. I'm working on it.

Hm. I think that's about all for now. I'll leave off with some provocative fashion photos from the Fendi S/S 2010 collection. More about this collection soon.
