I Love...Cardigans

One of the things I love most about fall/winter are the fall/winter clothes. I love wearing my boots, long sleeve shirts and throwing on a cardigan to top off the outfit. The one I have on is from Forever 21, I got it a few seasons ago.

It’s hard being in Florida with their faux winter and me wanting to wear my winter clothes. But I usually have the excuse, “it’s November, it should be cold so I’m wearing what I want.” Here are some cute cardi’s I found all under $50.

Kimora Lee Simmons New Judge On ANTM

Oh Shoot. One of my favorite shows is getting its act together. Kimora Lee Simmons is supposedly going to be the new judge on the next season of America’s Next Top Model. If you remember she was a judge on the very first season of ANTM but I’m assuming was fired. Now she’ll be back helping Tyra pick the season 14 winner. Also, Miss J is said to be going back to being just the runway coach instead of a judge. Supposedly Vogue Editor, Andre Leon Tally will be taking his seat. I guess we’ll see next season. Woo hoo!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

So I go to school in the most tropical place in America, Florida. And this week hurricane Ida decided she wanted to bless us with her presence. I’m from the northeast so I’m not use to psychotic downpours of rain and wind that literally blows me off my feet (sheesh I only weigh like 100 lbs). But I figured since I’m here I’d better get use to it. One thing I never really needed to buy back at home were rainboots. But since in Florida it’ll rain even when it’s 100 degrees and the sun is out, I thought I should invest.

My grandmother bought me these cute Juicy Couture rainboots last year at Bloomingdales. They’ve been very helpful in my struggle to get to class without looking like a wet dog. Here are some other rainboots I thought were cute and you might like.

Lady Gaga In Vogue

So everyone knows I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga right? Okay well my life got a little better this week (it was already going great thanks for asking) because she’s in an editorial spread for the December issue of Vogue. The spread was shot by Annie Leibovitz and was inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel. I believe she’s the witch in the story, looking as crazy and fierce as ever. I love this Lady.

Ballet Flats For Under $50!

One of the things I am obsessed with is shoes. I love heels, boots, my converses, everything. But one type of shoe I seem to never have enough of are ballet flats. Every time I buy them they just end up disappearing into the depths of my closet. This summer I bought a pair of Steve Madden black ballet flats to wear during my internship at Glamour, and by the end of the internship, I literally had holes where my toes should be. Needless to say, I need to keep refilling stock. I think they’re great to have if you live in a city because you can just throw them in your bag and change into them when needed. And you can put them with any outfit. You’ll especially need them if you work/intern in the fashion industry because you are literally running around all day. Here are some cute flats I liked that are all under $50.

Pakistan's First Fashion Week

Pakistan had its first Fashion Week that launched last week amongst security concerns and the Taliban to the north. The four-day event was rescheduled two times because of security fears but was nevertheless a successful event. No foreign buyers or designers were invited because of security measures but fashions were a mix of couture and ready-to-wear. “Many designers made reference to the turmoil, reflecting the contradictions and tensions coursing through this society,” according to the AP. “Some women strode the catwalk in vicious spiked bracelets and body armor. Others had their heads covered, burqa-style, but with shoulders — and tattoos — exposed. Male models wore long, Islamic robes as well as shorts and sequined T-shirts.”

The show took place in Karachi, the largest most cosmopolitan city in the country, at a five star hotel next door to the American consulate. The location is only two hours by plane ride for al-Qaida and Taliban. Nevertheless, the CEO of Fashion Pakistan Week, Ayesha Tammy Haq, was optimistic. “This is our gesture of defiance to the Taliban…there is a terrible problem of militancy and political upheaval ... but that doesn't mean that the country shuts down. That doesn't mean that business comes to a halt."

The fashions definitely showed the spirit and style of Pakistan, I think they were absolutely beautiful. Click here to see more designs from their fashion week.
