Fashion At the Gym!

I've become a recent member at my local LA Fitness. Working out has always been a great stress reliever of mine. This morning I saw this stylish Blond haired woman two treadmills down from me. Out of all the people in the entire building she was the most fashion forward. I was simply wearing an old Alabama State tee shirt, old ratty sweats and my black painted converse. Since I'm typically the kind of person who works out at home I never felt any reason to even lok half decent. Now that I'm once again a gym member I began wondering how to look cute while working out. Like I usually do when I'm fashion stumped I search for celebrity outfit inspiration. I came across this blog entry where it explained what outfit goes best with your body type. Spandex pants and plain tee's are the route I'm going. The best ways to dress up a gym outfit are with cute shirts, running shoes, bags and headbands. Whatever way works best for yoou. It also wouldn't hurt to throw on some of your favorite mascara.

Devil Wears Prada Book to Movie

I remember when I first saw the preview for the movie "The Devil Wears Prada", me and my friend Korinna were in the movie theater and as soon as Anne Hathway walked into the office of Runway I knew it was going to be my new favorite movie. So I read the book after like millionths time watching the film because I wanted to see how different Andy was in the book. Like every book that's turned into a movie many important parts and characteristic are left out but the only time I noticed this was when I watched Twilight. Not to get me wrong I love the movie, in my opinion they are like to completely different things. Andy in the book doesn't seem so dorky and smokes cigarettes. Now that I finished the book I kinda like the novel a little better. I think its cool reading and watching the behind the scene actions at a magazine. Hopefully someday I can walk in the Jimmy Choo's of Emily or Andy.

My Problem With Men And Lounging Gear!!!

So I talked about my men clothing dilemmas a lot before on this blog but I've noticed this fashion epidemic amongst young men around the country maybe even the world. Every time I see these items on a man it makes me cringe. Every guy I know owns at least 4 pairs of basketball shorts, a pack of plain wife beaters, and last and least those damn annoying slide on athletic sandals. To some men this may be the ideal outfit of choice but it bothers the hell out me. It flabbergasts me every time I see some guy in these pairs of clothing. Being a guy seems to be the easiest thing in the world so way is it so hard to just throw on jeans and a casual tee. To some it may seem as if I'm going overboard but If I have been been a dress in heels, a man should at least be in a button down or some khaki's.

No School School For Me!!!

So I've almost completed my 2010-2011 "Fashion Guide" and I was wondering If there really was a reason for me to go school shopping this year. Pretty much every fall and winter trends is are already stored away in closet. I think the only real thing I'm missing from my wardrobe is something "Military Inspired". This trend always seems to reappear every so often. Navajo (Tribial or Indian Influenced) and Large "Grunge Sweaters" seem like their easy to find but I don't know where to find any army influenced things. The best school fashion purchase I've made in a long time was a pair of faux leather gray boot from Charlotte Russe. These amazing 3 in 1 boots are so unconventional. You can wear them above the knee, mid calf, or ankle lengths. This makes it so easy to switch up outfits with only one pair of shoes. Now that my guide is almost complete now all there is left to do is just to find a outfit for the first day.

Airport Dilemma

I'm leaving for vacation this Wednesday. I'm visiting my home state of Virginia to see family I haven't seen in almost 8 years. I having the hardest time deciding what to wear. I have two flights one is 8 hours to Atlanta, the next is from Atlanta to Richmond. I want to do my best to stay both comfortable and stylish. I was thinking of wearing an oversize tee shirt and leggings. Or maybe I'll dress as if I'm going to the gym. Idk hopefully I think of something.I do overall want to make a good first impression.

School Preparation

So school is right around the corner which gives us students a chance to recreate ourselves. All the drama and failures of the previous year have been put away along with yearbooks. So even though its just now august I've started preparing for the up coming school year. This year is my Junior Year which is supposedly the hardest year of high school. In preparation I created a 2010-2011 school year fashion, make-up, and lifestyle guide. I'll admit the project was partly just something keep me busy but it actually turned into something really fun. I went through all my old magazines and collected everything that would help me with outfit and make-up ideas. Okay so part of my reasoning was to prevent myself from wearing sweats. This year I hope to come into my own style, oh and also to get good grades=)
