Searching: a place to document style progression

An old "look" which a fellow blogger encouraged me to post more. That didn't work so well.

I am a big fan of reading blogs, even new ones. While reading Arash Mazinani's blog, a great find, I stumbled across this article about creating your own lookbook in order to organize your wardrobe. Now while that seems excessive I think Mazinani has a point. Searching for that "perfect" style is not the goal here. There is importance in building from your own experiences. Arash suggests to look to others style but I think I would much rather go solo and find my own way. Now all I have to do is wait for my nifty camera to arrive and snap, snap, snap! I guess all that is left is a membership at Chictopia or Lookbook.nu. Any suggestions?

New York Fashion Week Day 4: More Bloggers oh my!

There were two events that I attended and they all reinforced why I like to be a fashion blogger. The first was the Chictopia10 after party which Corrine of Chictopia invited me to. What an honor! The store was more glamorous than what I thought it would be and I got some designer silly bands. I am now apart of the crazy silly bandz club.

This the wonderful Dara (with her two good friends) she has been working hard as a Teen Vogue intern.
She, along with Chelsea are an inspiration! 

 

Yes I went shopping. I ended up with a long pant jumper. 

Love ladies. To the left is Laura of On The Racks.
She is super sweet and hope to see her next season!

To the right is Pamela of Market Publique. I was drooling over her dress.

If you are fabulous enough to use a rhinestone encrusted mouse then you should have one.

The next day I  went to the IFB Tweet Up in the Skybox. Micheal Boardman (aka Mr. Mickey) of Paper Magazine. There was an eerie silence but so many of the bloggers in attendance had great questions to ask. I've never been one to think of a good question to ask at these sorts of things but I did take a few pictures!

Excluding the bag I love this look. It is a weird combo but I think it works well here.

Not too sure about the flip flops but I am all for the pants and hat. The hair adds a little somethin' somethin'.

What can I say? This is amazing. The look is made soft by the layered maxi skirt. Check the glasses dude!

Emma Nygren, you are awesome. I would love for her to be a stylist and teach a lesson in dressing oneself. She is a true inspiration to me.

Ok, so I have seen this girl around on some street fashion blogs especially Street Walker (twice in a row) but I love this look! If I had the balls, I would wear this. It is almost Greek goddess like.

While I find lookbook.nu hyper inspirational Chictopia is stepping up its game. This look is no exception. Look at the great pop the pink gives! The coat is so drapey, which we all know is something I love.
