Don't hate the overalls! Just found this little treasure on a thrift trip back home in Florida!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People use to tease and despise these "dungarees" but now people are wearing them everywhere! At least here in the city they are. They're so great to wear on a casual Sunday: Grocery shopping, brunch, lounging, basically any lazy and leisure activity.</div>

PS. If P.Diddy can wear sunglasses at night, so can I. Who does he think he is anyways?</div>

Just kidding, it was for photo purposes only. I would never actually wear my sunglasses at night. So tacky.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Designer Discovery is a new addition of blog series I will be adding to my usual outfit posts.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
As an aspiring fashion stylist, fashion consulting is another aspect of the job that I really want get involved with. To help develop and style a designer's collection and bring it to it's fullest potential is something I really want to partake in. Especially with having a background in fashion design. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to spotlight up-and-coming young designers that I find interesting, so you won't be seeing established designer's like Pheobe Philo or Marc Jacobs within this series. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I hope you're just as excited about discovering new designer's as I am!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

First off, is anyone else's eyes green with envy for that jacket with the mongolian sheep fur sleeves? I die! That would be a great addition for my F/W 2012 wardrobe (hint hint). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran into Wen Shi's work while doing some research for my job, through her win at the Gen Art "<a href="http://www.genart.com/news/drum-roll-please-crest-3d-whites-little-white-wardrobe-designers-have-been-chosen/">Crest 3D White Design Little White Wardrobe Competition</a>." Congratulations!<br />
<br />
Aside from the beautiful jacket, the first thing I noticed was the contrast and balance between the soft and structured designs. For someone new to the game of fashion, I think Wen Shi successfully merged the two styles and was able to produce a beautiful cohesive and modern collection. Some of the pieces alone are quite simple, yet they still make a strong statement. Less is more in this collection's case and I am all for it! It's all in the details.<br />
<br />
I love the soft wide-legged pants paired with the structured peplum jacket and the simple-modern draped gown. All a lady needs with that white gown is a statement clutch, necklace, messy-chic bun and she will be talk of the town: underrated elegance. The construction and execution of the clothing is applaudable as well, such as the short cocktail dress. The way the princess seams flow right into the ruffles on the skirt is really beautiful and well done.<br />
<br />
For a fairly new designer, any viewer would be able to decipher Wen Shi's design aesthetic. To which I congratulate Wen Shi. She knows who she is and who her customer is, an aspect of the business that many new young designers struggle with.<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing Wen Shi develop and grow as a designer over the next few seasons!<br />
I will definitely be keeping an eye out for her!<br />
<br />

I'm still alive and yes I'm also still wearing my <a href="http://www.31philliplim.com/">Phillip Lim</a> Necklace... Other than my usual abusive-overuse and wear of my Phillip Lim necklace, there have been many new and exciting things that have entered my life. I'm sorry for my month absence but in order for me to give my best effort, I had to focus on other aspects of my life. I still do need to focus on the other aspects but this blog is such a fun creative outlet that I can't neglect it. So, bear with me for now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most exciting thing that has happened so far is probably getting an internship at, <a href="http://v/">TWELV Magazine</a>. TWELV Magazine is a new fashion, art, music, and charity magazine that just released it's first issue this past June. One of the many things that makes TWELV unique is it's perspective and promotion of charity; 12% of print and digital sales are actually donated to a variety of charities. Which is unheard of from many other fashion magazines. So far I'm having a knowledgable and enjoyable experience at TWELV. In addition to gaining knowledge, I'm making friends and connections that I never thought I would have! As of now I'm really grateful for my experience at TWELV. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh yeah, let's not forget I still have my part-time job in retail... I'm sure anyone with any experience working in retail understands how I feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a little life update, but I'm back!</div>

Finals time! Only one more week of the school semester is left!<br />
I'll be back!<br />

My to-go/school bag aka my only bag broke, so as a substitute I was using a heinous canvas tote. It was clashing with every outfit I pulled together, and I was desperate for a new bag. But I wasn't going to purchase and settle for any bag, it had to be perfect because I honestly hate carrying bags so I prefer to keep my bag collection to a minimum. Which is like two bags. . . Then, I found this little beauty on Etsy (my newest online addiction/distraction). I was actually looking for a crocodile briefcase/messenger/satchel bag, so it was just perfect timing! I love the elegant briefcase structure, and with the crocodile embossed leather it gives the bag a special edge and adds a perfect touch of texture to all of my looks. It's my precious!</div>

While viewing all the shows on style.com (because I'm not legit enough to actually be invited to one but one day!) during fashion month I noticed that one of the hottest styling trends for fall is wearing a pair of pants under a dress or skirt. Almost everyone was doing it! Now, all those girl's that always go out in those tacky skin tight dresses in freezing cold weather no longer have a reason to freeze their legs to death because it is now "in fashion" to wear pants under their dresses or skirts! Fashion has just saved them from a frostbite free season!<br />
Will you guys be rocking this most definitely "man-repelling" look in the very distant season?</div>

Quite recently, I had the lovely opportunity to be interviewed by <a href="http://www.wiseling.com/">Wiseling</a>, an up-and-coming online clothing marketplace. Here, I just share some insight regarding my closet and some thoughts about my style. For some reason I keep forgetting that bloggers are real people and that we only exist in a virtual world; so, it's interesting/strange to hear bloggers talk. . . Is it just me that thinks this? But anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the mini interview!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've been kind of obsessed/abusing with overthrowing a blazer, jacket, or coat over my shoulders lately. There's just something so regal and cool about an overthrown jacket. Maybe its the fact that it limits your arm mobility. It's like, oh I'm too fabulous to give you a legit hug, or "hey, can you get that for me," because I can't reach for anything above my chest because my jacket will fall off. It's just like ancient China and the Empresses bound feet. She was far too fabulous and important to even walk! So she had her little people carry her around in a carriage all day to whatever destination she desired. Such a carriage-setter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or maybe, it's because it makes me feel like superman. . . with the jacket being my almost cape. I'm secretly fighting villains and saving the day in my head whenever I'm running around town with an overthrown on. . . I still have the imagination of a 5 year old. Don't hate.</div>

I think we're all obsessed with mint right now! I can't get enough of it!<br />
Wearing an oversized sweater with a pair of skinnies always make me feel like I'm wearing Isabel Marant. If only I was actually wearing Isabel Marant. Especially those freaking <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/180878">Willows</a>!</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, while I imagine and pretend that I'm wearing Isabel Marant I'm going to kick off my non-willow boots and relax because I am now officially on my spring break! No school for a whole week! Oh hello kitty! I'm really looking forward to doing. . . absolutely nothing. Just kidding, I actually have quite a few things to look forward to this break! You guys will find out soon enough!<br />
<br />
ps. Thank you for all the encouragement on my midterms! :)</div>

Midterms! It's now the second most dreadful time for all college students! The first most dreadful being finals! I went out the other night in hopes to take a mental break and escape from all the terms, formulas, and hypotheses! 3 down and 3 more midterms and 1 more presentation to go! Wish me luck!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good luck to those who are studying for midterms/exams as well!<br />
So please allow me to excuse myself, as I unfortunately, doze off as I try to "study."<br />

This was a look that I put together for the "You've Got the Look" Competition by Lord & Taylor. It's a styling contest that consists of FIT and LIM students with a grand prize of $10,000! $10,000 freaking dollars! Which of course would go towards our college tuition. We were given three trends; power pastel, global view, and bright side. Obviously, I chose power pastel and the key item for this trend was pastel denim. First we had to submit a photo of a look consisting of clothes that relate to one of the trends. Then the top 8 whom are chosen by Lord & Taylor's fashion editor at large are then to style a look from Lord & Taylor's Spring 2012 contemporary collection. Unfortunately, I didn't make the top 8. At first I felt like a complete failure, but after seeing the top 8 styled looks. . . I'm not going to lie but those feelings of failure went away. Although, I was a bit upset I didn't make the top 8 I'm still really glad I entered because in the beginning I wasn't going to bother to enter. Then a few days before the submissions were due, I was like "why not?" I have nothing to lose! Except for some money, I ended up keeping the mint pants! But those 10,000 buckaroos sure could have helped out my parents a lot!</div>

I've been waiting the longest time to wear these chiffon pants (poly-chiffon unfortunately), and finally yesterday presented the most perfect opportunity with the most beautiful weather! As much as I love these pants, wearing them is like a death trap because I am always tripping in them! I actually fell a few days ago on my home from the grocery store and bruised my knee, but thankfully there weren't too many people around. Only three girls that happen to go to FIT as well. . . so embarrassing but so funny at the same time. I'm just glad my eggs were ok. These pants were actually purchased from ebay as well; although, I did put a dart in the back to give the pants a more straight wide-leg rather then the super-flared look they originally were.</div>

I think I'm a grandma at heart because I have such a weakness for clothes that contain beading, embellishments, pearls, and sequins, and when I saw Balmain's fall 2012 collection, I died. I literally want every single piece from this collection. Wearing these pieces is like wearing a piece of Versailles or a Fabergé Egg! I am drooling over the sweater and jacket in the first and second look. Feed me these clothes! Forget food! Oh my goodness, not to mention the blush wide legged pants with the pearl beading! I seriously can not contain myself right now. I need to calm down.<br />
Having experience with hand-beading garments, I give major kudos to Balmain's seamstresses because this beading is jaw-dropping amazing. I can not even imagine the amount of time it took to embellish all these garments. I also can not imagine the price of these garments; although, I really would like to know. . . Personally, I really love the new direction Olivier Rousteing (Balmain's Creative director) has been steering Balmain towards. Before Olivier was appointed as the new creative director, I wasn't exactly a fan of Balmain. I look forward to Olivier's future work!</div>

I'm pretty sure everyone on the east coast experienced some abnormal weather yesterday. Such as being almost 60 degrees fahrenheit in the middle of February. Now that I'm looking at these photos, I can't believe I was wearing shorts yesterday! I mean its February! Last February it was snowing, blizzarding, school was getting canceled, and I most definitely was not wearing shorts. Oh hello the end of the world.</div>

Hoorah for color. Color is such a great way of adding a little "zest" to any monochromatic look. I don't know if you guys have noticed but color is slowly making its way into my closet! This look reminded me a macaroon flavor, "Orange Blossom," which I had this past weekend from the oh so famous, <a href="http://www.laduree.fr/">Laduree</a>. My beanie reminded me of the flavor not just because of the obvious (color orange) but because made my head look like a little flower bud (thanks to my oddly shaped head). Then there's the connection between a flower bud and a blossom, and thanks to that little thought tangent, I now have a title for this post! But referencing back to my little comment about my oddly shaped head, I can't pull beanies off as well as most people can thanks to my strange head. For one thing, my ears stick out further then most people. Secondly, my head shape is like an oblong oval and the beanie looks like a a <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&biw=1279&bih=679&tbm=isch&tbnid=77w0SPJhu9GTRM:&imgrefurl=http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/victreebel&docid=MoHRBepkjXiFmM&imgurl=http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/victreebel.jpg&w=300&h=254&ei=dw9DT7LiF4TX0QGtw_ywBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=350&vpy=203&dur=475&hovh=203&hovw=240&tx=97&ty=121&sig=111781130088200436789&page=1&tbnh=131&tbnw=155&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=0CEsQrQMwAQ">Victreebell</a> (pokemon) that's about to devour my head. I think beanies look better on people with a more. . . voluminous top head. But it's ok.</div>

This blouse is by far my most treasured thrift find ever! I still can't believe I came across this little beauty in a run-down-kind-of-creepy-thrift store in the middle of nowhere! Florida seriously has to be one of the best states to thrift in, since a decent amount of it's population consists of retirees that no longer care for their apparel that they once wore in the 80's, 70's, etc., and they all range in income levels so sometimes you can find some amazing vintage designer items. Such as a pair of vintage Versus by Gianni Versace pants for only $10! Like me! But anyways, did I mention that I only got this blouse for a mere $1! Could you imagine what the price would be if it were in the mass retail stores? Although, the only downside I have to say about this blouse is that it's polyester! If you guys didn't know, polyester isn't exactly on my nice list. Such an evil fabric, suffocating my body with every movement made. But I still love it! The store employee told me that many people wanted to buy it but it was too small for them. For once the small size is still left. Being skinny thrifter in a retirement community has it's benefits after all. . . :)</div>

This past winter break while I was home I didn't want to be a fatty and sleep and watch T.V. all day. So I made a to do list to keep me productive. In addition to reading the Hunger Games, which was amazing by the way and I highly recommend everyone read it if they have not already. I'm obsessed with the series and I can't wait for the movie to come out! Oh Peeta (character from the book)! But like I said, in addition to reading I also learned to crochet! Which was something I have been eager to learn for some time now. This scarf is the first project into my little crochet adventure and it's not bad! I'm actually quite proud of it! As I stated in my <a href="http://popstylecle.blogspot.com/2012/01/cobalt.html">cobalt</a> post, I've been slowly integrating color into my wardrobe and I think this scarf is a perfect addition! I love the sunburst orange, it just warms my little heart everytime I take a glance at it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually learned through a youtube video. Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_NZGUko-8c&list=UUtbqgnrBzJ7O42snbp7DaUw&index=30&feature=plcp">here</a> to watch it! It's really easy! I made mine wider and longer (10ft) then the example provided and I just bought my supplies at <a href="http://www.joann.com/">Jo-Anns</a>. Have fun!</div>

I am obsessed with my new faux fur coat that I purchased through <a href="http://en.stylenanda.com/">stylenanda.com</a>! I have been looking for a white shaggy fur coat since zara made one last fall/winter. Although, I will say the quality of the garment isn't the greatest. Whoever was the seamstress for this particular jacket wasn't exactly at the top of his/her game. But hey, you get what you pay for! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://en.stylenanda.com/">Stylenanada</a> is a great online shop that I recently discovered and I can't stop browsing through all of their cute clothes! They're based in Korea so the international shipping is a bit pricey depending on your location but they clothes are cheap and cute. Although, don't expect amazing quality because as I said before, you get what you pay for! Their shipping is pretty quick as well. My jacket arrived about a week after I purchased it, which is amazing considering it's international because I just received my order from romwe (in china) that I purchased a month ago. . . never again.</div>

To celebrate the year of the dragon, <a href="http://i-donline.com/">i-D magazine</a> created 12 different and inspirational covers all shot by Chen Man for their pre-spring 2012 issue. Each and every cover is so beautiful and creative that I don't know which one to buy! Although, only four will only be published and on newsstands, while the remaining 8 will be online. Another thing I love about these covers is that it doesn't feature well-known models. I was surprised not to see Liu Wen, Shu Pei, Fei Fei, Ming Xi, and Xiao Wen. i-D never disappoints when it comes to their covers. </div>

I just want to steal Daphne's lips, they're so plump and perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This fashion story is a prime example of how I want to look this spring. Pastel wide legged pants. Amazing long blazers/light jackets paired with short shorts. Leather jackets in delicate shades of yellow. Pink eyelashes. . . I want it all! Ok, maybe I can eliminate the pink eyelashes (but I do love them)! I'm completely embracing the pale pastel trend this coming season and I can't wait to see how Zara and H&M interpret this trend so poor people like me can somewhat come close to<a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-LVUITTON"> Louis Vuitton</a> and <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-GIVENCHY">Givenchy</a> S/S 2012.<br />

I spotted this vintage 80's sweater on etsy this past december and with the cute teddy bears and the scalloped collar, this was a sweater I had to have in my possession! Then I thought. . . christmas present! So I showed it to my brother and told him to get it for me. But by the time he opened the link to the webpage, someone had already purchased it, or so he says. Since I was obsessed with this sweater, I scurried all over the internet trying to look for another one and surprisingly I did. This time I purchased it on my own because I was not letting anyone else get their hands on this little vintage baby. In the end, the first sweater did get sold. . . to my brother! He tricked me, so now I have two. Yay! It's one of my most favorite presents ever received.</div>

All I have to say is that I'm obsessed with my new handmade DANNIJO x MR Aram necklace. It's completely worth every penny. It's a great simple statement piece and it's amazing on it's own. It's easy to wear and looks perfect with just a t-shirt. I layered it over my phillip lim necklace just add a bit more statement to the already stated. . . and it adds a nice touch of color. You guys can expect to see this a few more times in future posts. I'll try not to over exhaust it.</div>

I finally got my Dannijo Aram necklace and I'm so excited! Once I saw this little beauty online I knew I had to save up for it! When I got my first paycheck EVER, this was one of the first things I purchased! Initially, I was feeling really guilty and kept thinking to myself, "did I really just spend $158 on a necklace?" Only because it was money from my first paycheck and I feel like I should have saved it. . . but whatever I worked hard for that money and I knew I had to have this! I have no regrets. Can't wait to wear it!</div>
