I finally feel like my life is getting on track to where I want it to be. I quit my serving job which has relieved me of a lot of stress. I finally come to realize that while I loved the cash, working in a restaurant is not my cup of tea. My everyday happiness is much more important to me. That...

I am loving the fall line of Tulula available at Aritzia which unfortunately is only located in Canada, Chicago and parts of the Northwestern U.S. (not near me). Still, the photos have so much inspiration.  I love the floral leggings and the animal print tights.  They are so fun and carefree. ...

These photos were taken at a park nearby my house in a beautiful part of San Diego called Rancho Santa Fe. The park is huge with hiking trails and a large pond, just beautiful there. I loved how the sun is shining through the trees which unfortunately caused some lens flair, but actually I kind...

Thrifty Chic Edited by Retro Chick There’s a thrifty feel abound in this weeks Links á la Mode. Maybe we’re all saving money for Christmas, or perhaps we’re all those recessionistas I hear so much about. Oranges and Apples spends a week living out of a capsule wardrobe to prove it can be done,...

I love these pieces from snoflake’s Fall 2009 lookbook. The cream colored coat looks so comfortable and snuggly for winter and I absolutely  love the sheer white long sleeve shirt in the 2nd photo.  Snoflake is an indpendent line out of Toronto by Debbie Sutton.  You can check out the rest...

I don’t why, but lately I’ve had a total Nirvana resurgence. It kind of came out of nowhere. I mean, I’ve always loved Nirvana, but it’s been a great while since I’ve listened to their cds over and over again. Lately I’ve just been in the mood and it made me...

Bought this dress at a vintage store and had it altered because it was long, boxy and not very flattering. Now that’s it’s altered though, I love it. It’s such a fun party dress and is definitely eye catching. Dress: Vintage Hat: Forever 21 Shoes: Payless Bracelets: Flashbacks This...

As of late I’ve been more of a fan of new upcoming indie designers than the legends of fashion, but when I saw Valentino’s collection for Spring 2010 I became a huge fan again. The collection is so young and fun, it surprised me. When I think of Valentino, I think of long gorgeous evening...

Love this editorial from Vogue Italia.  It definitely has a late 80s, Madonna feel to it, plus a little 40s nior film vibe.  Love, love, love the hats and that jacket is to die for (as long as it’s faux).

Ethics and Morality in Fashion City Edited by Ashe Mischief This week’s Links á la Mode covers the gambit in regards to the ethical and moral questions surrounding fashion right now…. we have Confessions of a Fashion Editor’s take on fashion blogging & paid posts, and Oranges and Apples reports...

Took my new camera out for another spin tonight. I started when the sun was still in the sky, but because I’m a newbie at taking photos, none of them turned out the way I wanted. The sun was either washing me out or I was totally back lit and you couldn’t see me. Anyway, I definitely...

Since we’re in the midst of full on 80s fashion revival, this may be your one and only chance for awhile to really pull off acid wash jeans. Personally I think it’s a cute fun look and why not do it? I used to love the them in the 80s and it definitely fits in now. Also, it’s super...

Just got my new Canon Rebel xsi and I love it! Makes such a difference, so happy! This is a vintage dress from the 70s which I got a couple weeks ago. It was super long when I bought it, but I got it altered so it’s a little more sexy. This is the first time I’ve worn it since getting...

I’ve been thinking about getting bangs for awhile now and then I came across these amazing photos of Kate Moss for Paris Vogue. Hmmm, maybe it’s a sign because I friggin’ love her hair. Very hippie chic. “Sur la Route” issue: Vogue Paris, April 2008 photographers: Inez...

Fashion and music go hand in hand. Since the beginning of rock and roll, music has influenced the way people dressed and vice versa. Music has stood for something and said something about our society. Music has led revolutions and brightened people’s worlds. Maybe I’m an old fart at the ripe...

Luv the Twenty8Twelve Spring 2010 line out of London. The line, in case you don’t know, is designed by Savannah and Sienna Miller.  The frayed jean vests paired with a short floral skirt or high waist shorts makes me wish for summer again, but it’s worth the wait.  I am loving this...

Edited by Debutante Clothing I just turned 35. It’s a landmark year not just chronologically, but style wise. I am now approaching that next age bracket in the How to Dress for Your Age features in mags. You know the ones. Thank goodness for my blogger pals here at Independent Fashion Bloggers. You’ll...

I love fashion for all it’s creativity, risk taking and feelings of fantasy, but sometimes it’s nice to know that what’s on the runway will actually be something you can wear off the runway. That’s the case with Sykes, a new brand from London. Designed by Jo Sykes, the...

Adeline R. Marcia M. Laura A. I just found my old pair of Doc Martens recently from 1998! I seriously haven’t worn them in about ten years, but I’ve been inspired by Lookbook.nu to rock them. It’s definitely been a long while, but I do think that Doc Martens are cool again. Mine...
