Casual Corner

Loving this beautiful weather we are having here in sunny North Carolina.... I just hope that it stays this way, Carolina weather is known for being loopy


entire outfit is thrifted with the exception of the sandals got them from some store in DC four summers ago when I worked at a camp by the name of "Camp Sonshine" It really wasnt my idea of fun sitting in the hot sun while swatting at flies and listening to adorable but still equally annoying three year olds whine about how hot it was.... while maintaining a fake smile and singing trivial little songs. Not my cup of tea that is why I NEVER returned.... OH well...

pics from the kings of leon concert coming soon!

thanks for reading my loves!

Dear Lazaro and Jack .......

I am writing in response to your pre-fall 09 collection... This collection was undoubtedly one of your best! Dont get me wrong I am an avid follower of your work and I count all of your collections as separate entities, magnificent in their own right but this one was different it really spoke to me i feel that each look was custom made for ME from every meticulously placed dart in your tailored jackets to the sparkling delight that is the sequin top. You guys covered all the bases; the perfect amount of layering, the monochromatic grays, a splash of color, and those gloves oh the torture! How I yearn for the day that I am rid of all the scholastic prerequisites so that I will be able to afford even a stitch of your clothing! I applaud your swift success in the world that is fashion. You two have come a long way since 2002 and I only see your future being brighter so bright that your going to need shades, speaking of shades I love the ones in your pre-fall line-up! Thank you for putting together such a well thought out and cohesive collection you truly brought tears to my eyes. Long live the creative genius that is PROENZA SCHOULER!
With Love,
From your biggest fan
Jules

just one kiss

Fashion Bailout

I posted this editorial for the simple fact that for me it depicts the present state of the fashion industry from an economical stand point.... The styling has a very avant garde approach. You can see that their objective was not to evoke conventional beauty, but rather to express a higher message one that involves the unfortunate woes that have claimed so many fashion patrons already, increasing the number of casualties daily--Ok well I am done shedding light on this subject; this ed really speaks for itself.....

Thanks for reading!

I-77

An instinctive cue went off in my mind when I saw this photo that hedi slimane took at Coachella. I was like this reminds me of something but I couldnt quite figure it out (dont you hate that!) so I saved the picture to my computer and didnt really think much into my weird reverie. I am riding in my car on I-77 going 80 blasting my "Because of the Times" Kings of Leon CD and it dons on me when "On Call" starts playing that this song more specifically the video to this song is what reminded me of this picture. Im not going to spoil it for you, watch the beginning of this video to see what I mean (avid KOL followers may not need to view it ;)
Anyone that knows me knows that I love Kings of Leon and because of this maniacal infatuation I have for their music (their also not too bad on the peepers either) I am going to their concert next week! I dont know what to wear, so that is what I will be doing today, oh and I promise to take loads of pics for you guys!

D is for Daria!

I love this photo of Daria.I especially love the Chanel jacket. I am working on a project with a boucle jacket I found at a thrift store. I decided to experiment with chains instead of studs I want to still keep that "classic chanel" look but add a little modern twist to make it a bit edgier. I can't wait to show you guys the outcome-- follow me on twitter I will do updates sporadically on the processing of it all (just type in styleanthem in the find people bar)I will add a link button to the blog later, kinda lazy right now totally drained from studying I think a Coca-Cola Zero will hit the spot right about now!

PS so mad that i missed the New Moon feature on Entertainment Tonight, I planned on taking a thirty minute nap and 30 minutes turned into 3 hours hahaha

READ THE NEXT POST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!! :)

Say What? Rachel Roy for Macys?!?!

I have to say when one thinks of Rachel Roy and her line they visualize downtown sophisticate meets urban socialite meets globe trotting influence and it's pretty much safe to say that they DO NOT picture motorcycle boots, printed skinnies, and bleached minis(do I detect a bit of Balmain referencing?!) but I guess that is what she has in store for her diffusion contemporary line at Macy's this fall. I am loving a lot of her jewelry pieces more than the clothes actually(although I do like the fur). The price points are pretty steep the line retails from $59 to $299 for sportswear, $79 to $199 for footwear, $40 to $195 for jewelry and $69 to $109 for handbags. Really Macy's?!?! for a diffusion line the prices are kinda ridiculous.... What do you guys think are you feeling this collection from Mrs. Rachel Roy? I am getting the rings and the suede boots!!!!!!

PS i didn't post everythinng if you want to check out the whole range click here

Spring is in the air......

Hello ladies and gents! Jules here, I struck thrift gold last weekend when I went to the local Value Village(haha for some reason that name is so funny to me) ok so I decided to take pics of my finds outside because the weather was so great. From left to right on the first pic: top row- vtg linen blazer(for the warm weather), vtg silver medallion belt (hung on blazer), vtg aztec print bucket bag, vtg cadet button up shirt; bottom row- vtg multicolor patchwork bag, vtg liz claiborne striped sweater (i have wanted a top like this for ages). By some miracle I decided to look at the sunglasses and I got a pair of round ones a la John Lennon recently brought back from the fashion archives by the infamous MK. I also grabbed a pair of vtg wayfares, both were a mind blowing 50 cents!!!! Can I tell you that I literally squealed with glee when I saw the aztec printed tapestry bag. I have wanted a vtg Louis Vuitton Petit Noe (bucket bag) for a long time as well as a Gucci Hysteria tapestry bag, my prayers were answered because I found a hybrid! A bag with the shape of the Noe but the print of the hysteria, my life is complete!!!!!!!
PS: Aren't the dogwood flowers marvelous?!?! The only down side was that bees were everywhere and me and my friend Bri had to run off screaming like idiots between each shot. Gotta love my state flower!!!
Thanks for reading my loves!!!!!
