Out of the Loop

Having no internet or cable for 3 days drove me crazy. Is that sad? Of course I read a lot but I love my bad TV shows. I think what it really did was throw off my routine. No blogging. No Vampire Diaries. Here are a few other things I missed this week:

Plus sized models protested Australian Fashion Week when they didn't use any in the shows, but booked 18 last year. Lame.

On a positive note, Polish Elle used plus-sized girls beautifully. Gorg.

OMG. Glamour used favorite size 10 model Crystal Renn on their June cover and they STILL can't win. Yes, I admit she DOES look a lot smaller than she usually does (2nd from left) but seriously, people. They're models. NOT real people. And they aren't supposed to be.

Opening Ceremony's Fall 2010 Lookbook is so drool-worthy that I might start "dancing" to afford some of it. OK, not really but I really, really, love the whole thing.


The 2010 Tony Nominations came out and I'm half excited and half disappointed. (FYI: I know I'm biased.) From Come Fly Away, I'm really happy to see Karine Plantadit nominated but sad they over looked Charlie Hodges (above.) My other complaint? WAY too many celebs. I'm sorry but Liev Schreiber? Not so much. It's awesome that The Royal Family, Memphis, Red, and Finian's Rainbow got some love since they are some of my favorites. And 11 for Fela! including Lillias White. So exciting. Kevin Chamberlain in The Addams Family? Great. Best Score? Um, no way.

I'm a New York woman in my 20s. I LOVE fashion and all things style. I'm a big SJP fan. I have zero interest in seeing Sex and the City 2. Am I the only one who's not excited? It feels so tired and lame to me. No one acts this way, at least not anymore. Every time I see the preview with them on camels, I grown. I know it's supposed to be a fantasy, I get it. I'm just not buying it. I'd rather go to the Pat Fields store and learn about her and the fashion of the show at the bookstore.

What else is going on?

Better Late Than Never

Some of my favorites arrived late to the Met Gala. They can't be ignored! 

Alexa Chung looks SO awesome in head-to-toe Phillip Lim. You can look sexy without showing a lot of skin! 

Always my favorite, the adorable Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu. 

Could she be hotter? Supermodel Chanel Iman in Michael Kors. 

I really like Elizabeth Banks's Gucci ensemble. 

Emmy Rossum looks beautiful in Kenneth Cole. I have a problem with this color too, though. I don't know why! 

I'm obsessed with floral but Eva Mendes looks like she's wearing a curtain in Dolce and Gabbana. 

Wow. Boobs! Super hot Janet in Lanvin. 

Supermodel Jessica Stam in stunning purple Rachel Roy. 

I was wondering where Leighton Meester was! Her Marc Jacobs dress rocks as does her on-again boyfriend Sebastian Stan.

This Dior dress is crazy flattering on the beautiful Marion Cotillard.

I don't care anything about Melania Trump but love the Christian Siriano dress. Navy!

Too cool for school, M.I.A., Alexander Wang, and Zoe Kravitz looking hot in Alexander Wang. 

Cute Jacket Update!

How cute is Alex in her new Anthopologie trench? LOVE it! (PS She has a great blog!)

Quarter-Life Crisis?

I've been gone from the blogverse for a while for many reasons, none of them too exciting. I have this thing where when I'm upset about something, I clam up and hide. I had (well, continue to have) family stuff that I have to work through. I tend to take care of others before myself. I am starting to focus more on my life now. Window shop and curl up in Barnes and Noble all day Sunday? Done. I'm even trying to TURN OFF MY PHONE. It's a work in progress. OK, now to more positive things.

While I was sitting in Organic Chem last semester, I had this what am I doing here? moment. The huge difference between what I felt I should be doing, versus what I wanted to be doing, became crystal clear. To make a really long story short, I am now a Journalism major and not Pre-Med/Pre-PT. Big difference, right? I still love medicine and helping people. I know that no matter what my "career" is, I will find a way to help the people I am passionate about. I can see myself volunteering at a nursing home on the weekends, and I know I will actually do it.

I'm currently tapping into the creative side of myself that has been buried by medical billing and the periodic table. I'm starting to write again and I LOVE it. I figured out that I'm actually good at it! I also know a lot about fashion and consider it more than a hobby. So why not put them together? Who else reads or buys more than 10 magazines a month?! I read some online but only the extras on the websites. I need the feel of a mag. I read every inch; I read the parts most skim over. I rip pages out and post them on my wall like a 12 year old with a Jonas Brothers obsession. (True fact: I actually love the Jonas boys.) It's only natural that I use the skills that I have to do the things that I love. Sounds easy, right? Of course, almost everyone in my life thinks I'm having a Quarter-Life Crisis. I think I'm just growing into my own and creating my own path. I'm really excited about it.

Update

OK, its not the best picture. Can you see her nails??

A better update.
