Fashion class

This is supposed to be my last post but I have been thinking I want to keep this going. I really liked this part of the class even though it took time every week now that I have time over break I want to keep it going. It makes me feel better to write about what I feel, and write about all the new fashion news and my crazy shopping habits.

Now I'm off to snow land Syracuse NY where their is NO fashion at all but soon I'll be off to sunny Florida to spend the Holidays with my family in a couple weeks...Shopping is out of control I need to start saving now so I have money for me and I guesssss buy others some gifts haha..

Loved the class thanks for a great semester!

XOXO New Kind of Merchandising

So I was just watching ShowBiz tonight and saw something that was real interesting! It is the XOXO store in NYC and their new window displays. Live girls changing into all different clothes in the window. I could not believe it! It is getting a lot of press because of the risque nature of this new visual merchandising idea. I don't know how I really feel about it...It is kinda wrong but it is definitely getting the press that they want because I know myself I have not heard of XOXO in a longgg time and I didn't even know they had a store in NYC. So this is defiantly working for them.

The girls are told to act like they do not see the crowd and act like they are getting ready together doing things like painting their nails. It is really different then all the other displays on Fifth Ave. It only is going on for another week so they are urging people to go see it now. Maybe XOXO will make a come back! Who knows....http://www.asylum.com/2009/12/04/racy-fifth-avenue-xoxo-display-has-live-nude-models/

Audrey Hepburn

I found this really fun and interesting. Audrey Hepburn's designer clothing is going on action in Paris next week. The most interesting piece I thought they are acting off is her wedding dress made by Rome based Fontana sisters. She never got to wear it because her wedding was called off but what she did was gave it back to the sisters and told them to give it to some girl who could never afford a dress like that one. That really is amazing to me. The last time they had an action of her clothing it brought in 1 million dollars. I wonder how much it will now with the economy being so bad. What a great piece of history to have if you could afford it!

Disney gone wild

Ok so I must say I was a big fan of Disney show when I was younger...but lately they have been getting the worst of the worst. Point in case Miley Cyrus first with her whole big controversy in Vanity Fair and she shedding her Disney image by dressing sexy and acting like she was a lot older than she is...lets remember here she is 17! Sometimes I forget and think she is my age...but yeah NO! So now she is out showing a new grown up statement a Tattoo and guess where...Under her left breast!!! Come on Miley! Anddd to top it off her bathing suit is hot pink and tiny...the best part is the pad you can see she added to look like she has bigger boobs! With all that money you think she could afford a nice bathing suit with padding you cant see!! She is going trashy now and its sad at 17! Least Britney at her age had cute outfits that everyone wanted! This girl just looks like she walked out of a trailer...Sorry Miley fans...Its just not right at her age!

A New Barbie Must Have!!

I have always been a huge fan of Barbie. My whole childhood I always remember having all the new Barbies it seemed like everyday I got a new one. But the ones I remember the most were the collector ones that I could NOT open!! My mother never would let me touch them and more than anything I wanted to play with them because they always were so pretty and had the best outfits! So last night I opened my email and I saw the best new Barbie and I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!! It is the new Christian Louboutin edition Barbie!!!!! Wow!!! I LOVE IT! It is the best Barbie I have ever seen!! It comes with 4 pairs of shoes and the red shoe bags and the boxes!!! It was sold and Net-A-Porter yesterday and is already sold out and on back order! It is $150 but totally worth it! I am so mad I did not buy one last night my mom said she was going to get it for Christmas but she did not know it was going to sell out that fast!! Ah I am so mad! But hopefully she can get it! www.net-a-porter.com/barbie

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Well after watching that makes you not want to eat ever again...ahah I know many people feel that way. But don't get me wrong I loved watching it but not many people can look as good in lingerie like them. I just thought it was real interesting how they showed the the wanna be Angles having their bodies critiqued that way on national TV. The guy was so mean about it and these girls were soooo skinny and pretty much perfect but to say they had flaws on TV really makes me think about the younger girls watching this show and thinking they need to be like them. No wonder there are so many girls with eating disorders. Was there not a whole big thing on models being too skinny?? And then to show this guy saying all this stuff about these girls who looked like they didn't eat? Just really took me back and really bothered me. Yes it is ok to show that they all work out but to say the flaws that these girls have was wrong in my eyes. They are giving this pretty much unattainable look to young girls.

No Time for Fashion

So as the semester winds down, the only thing on my mind is finals finals finals. But in the back of my mind there is Christmas shopping....Time for that is very limited for me this year. I have wayyy too much homework to spend the whole day at the crazy mall. I don't have time to search for deals this time of year...So it looks like I am going to be buying things at full price. I keep hearing everything is on sale and there are soo many good sales but when I try to find them I never ever do!! What is going on here?? Why can't I ever find a good deal...and why does everyone in my family expect me to buy them high fashion high priced gifts....ahhh just another downfall to the money we spend on fashion. I love it more than anything but not the prices. I am over this trying to save money and I know this Christmas season I have to! Oh well somehow we will all get through the holidays with some money for the new year!
