This is Even More Intense Than That Time I Forgot How to Sit Down.

So I decided to start blogging again! I can here the hallelujahs from across the world. ...Not really. But I wanted to give it one more hoo-rah and one more go. Especially since I've been indulging in as much fashion as I can lately. Updates so far? I'm nearing the end of my first quarter at FIDM (I will make a post specially dedicated to this school, because, frankly, I dislike it), I am getting my own studio apartment, I excitedly sit at home most days, 30 Rock is my new favorite show, I have not shaved, and I am currently watching The Last Airbender... this God-awful movie.

Sounds like fun!

I Know Where I'm Going for FNO!!!!

Fall 2010 Trends: Army Green

The most obvious trend of Fall 2010? Army (or Military) Green. It kind of all started with Christophe Decarnin's Spring/Summer 2010 RTW Collection for Balmain, though. A whole season before. But it was such a rejuvenated trend, many took it and ran with it for this coming Fall. I feel this trend is so simple and self-explanatory that I don't have to say as much as I did in my last Fall trend post. Let us just enjoy these collections with one of the season's most-casual colors.

Moschino Cheap & Chic had a Fall 2010 collection that kind of embodied every up-coming Fall trend. Very quirky and commercial. But out of all the looks in the collection, two stood out with the trend of topic. The components that make up the looks work very well together and are spot-on with Fall 2010 trendy-ness.



What do I love most about this collection? The coats. Burberry Prorsum brings great coats for females and males in the Army Green color. Fur collars and trims, oversized, gold button detail... I want to wear them all. The styling with black bottoms/boots to match the green tops is a constant in the show. It also extends the kind of "dark" style to match the trend.



The collection that started it all was Balmain Spring/Summer 2010. Christophe (still on that first name basis wish) projects trends as if it were his birth rite. Deconstruction, golds, army green. The trend was set off earlier this year, due to this show, and will continue through the Fall season.



The revival of this color from earlier this decade was a complete success. It's a casual color this season that has actually been a must-have the entire year. Let's see how much longer it lasts!

Black Swan

Was on Rotten Tomatoes a few minutes ago. Saw the trailer for Natalie Portman's new film Black Swan. The ending seconds of the trailer are terrifying. I want to see this film.

My Thrift Findings

I've been meaning to post my latest findings since Thursday. But work has prohibited me from doing so! Oh and cashiering for 5 straight hours can sure make one (me) tired. Anyway... this past Thursday, after departing my dentists office from my teeth cleaning, I stopped by the new thrift store a few doors down.

I ended up picking out 5 items and left with 4. The cost? $13. It would've been $16 but I stopped in during 25% off day (YES!). What I feel the biggest success of the trip was the Disneyland baseball tee. It had no price marked on it so when I got to the register I let them know. The guy said "$3?" I said hmm... "Let me wait and see the others first." So then he says "What about $2?" Not being stupid... I said "OKAY!" Now here are my findings:


I've wanted a classic-like plaid button up for the longest.


This (infamous) shirt is from the Hong Kong Disneyland Grand Opening. Do I have to say more?


My explanation: When the 90's come back full force, I'll be ready.


Red wool blazer with a single button and a Bermuda patch. Fall trend: preppy.

Fashion's Night Out

In about 17 +/- 18 days (September 10th), Fashion's Night Out will commence internationally. I want to attend FNO in New York City. Most likely, I'll somehow make myself go. But what a week.. Gaga on the 7th, possibly Gaga on the 8th, then the streets of Manhattan for FNO! In my post below I mentioned how I scheduled to take out my wisdom teeth on the 10th, the day of FNO and the day after NY Fashion Week has begun. I'll change that, definitely.


I'll post my itinerary later as the date gets closer and as I get it fine tuned. I definitely want to see M-K & A, go to Opening Ceremony... Bergdorfs and Saks? Remember my talking about my uncle who works at Kirna Zabete? The tiny boutique on Greene St. in SoHo? Well, they're throwing a little soiree. He really said party but I wanted to use that word as a funny. So KZ will be one of my places of visit for the evening. Maybe I can pick up a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag or maybe a Wang Darcy Hobo bag? We'll see... I just want to go to the city for that night!

And possibly drop some money... But how much can one male buy in a sea of womenswear?

New York City September 10th 2010 on the heels of New York Fashion Week from 6-11 PM. Be there.

Wondering If I Should Start Outfit Posts?

Hate to be a bore. I wish I were in the mood for posting something interesting or fashion-related. It would most likely consist of my desire to go to Fashion's Night Out on September 10th. But uhh... I kind of scheduled myself to get my wisdom teeth pulled out that morning. Horrible? Yes. So I should probably change that. But this post will happen tomorrow.

I'm debating if I should start posting about what I'm wearing. It's a little suckish because I do not have a tripod and I never find the time to look for one. We'll see...
