Vintage Inspired, Gwen Approved

This is grand, this is great, I'm in such a happy state! Why you ask? Well the lovers have Valentine's day, the Pilgrams have thanksgiving, the French have Bastille Day, and I, I have fashion week.  I lock my door, turn off the TV and plug into all things of the upcoming season.  I truly forget that I am a College student in the middle of Missouri and imagine myself front row at Ralph Lauren, Tibi, or Lela Rose sitting between Demi Moore and Emmanuelle Alt.  Now I have seen pre-fall snapshots of everyone and everything, but no clothing in fashion truly becomes alive until it is seen on the grand stage that is New York.  To pump things up and get ready for the madness that starts tomorrow, I figured there would be no better way then to gaze upon the vintage inspired, much anticipated, Rachel Zoe's new clothing line.  Now one of my most favorite things about a fashion icon starting a clothing line is when you can truly see them wear every piece of their collection.  Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie and now Rachel Zoe, they all design their collection around their unique but unmistakable style. Do not hesitate to say any Zoe-isms when feisting your eyes on the gorgeousness that is, this....












AMAZED! && IT IS VINTAGE INSPIRED && GWEN APPROVED!

Venturing into Vintage

I have recently been finding myself perusing through vintage sections of my favorite websites like Modcloth.com, Americanapparel.net && net-a-porter.com, from there I even ventured into bona-fide vintage websites like LAvintage.  Now I have a few vintage experiences under my belt that include but are not limited to finds such as my Prada boots, Dior chemise && Ralph Lauren belt, yet I am hungry for more.  I think as I venture into the world of the unknown universe that is vintage I will most definitely follow [the golden rule of RZ], "Remember is to mix your vintage finds with contemporary picks. No head-to-toe vintage." Which means a current cocktail dress with vintage jewels, or retro boho frock with relaxed hair and a spakin' new messenger bag. The world is my vintage oyster...PIC TIME!

MAD about mad men

So just recently one of my besties suggested that i watch a show called mad men. She DID NOT steer me wrong, loves it. It is a sexy, witty drama filled with interesting people living in a mid-century night's dream. Mad Men is smart and tremendously attractive, and it stirs you more than it probably should (at least in my case). The clothes, cars and interior design seen on the show is equally as attractive. The 1960's fashion is so glamorous and intoxicating by capturing style and class of women such as Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.
