Update, returning from my hiatus and American Apparel Halloween costumes

Hey everyone, first I want to apologize for my total hiatus during fashion month.  I was incredibly disappointed but with the approach of the LSAT and midterms, I had to take a break from blogging, pry myself away from the likes of Vogue.com and style.com and focus on school work.  Second, I want to make a promise to you guys to post my favorite collections from London, Milan and Paris and get back on track with my everyday posts.  So, with the approach of Halloween, American Apparel posted its annual Halloween costumes created from its merchandise.  It was actually really funny because before I went the images went up, I decided I want to be Cher from "Clueless" for Halloween, and as luck might have it, AA channeled her for the "it girls" costumes, so I might take a little direction from that.

Anyways let me know what your favorite costumes are and what you are thinking of being for Halloween!

San Francisco Dreamin'

I was bored the other night and put this look together on Polyvore in honor of my trip to San Francisco and Seattle coming up.  I basically want everything or something like everything in the picture below, but what do you think?  Cute or not really?

American Apparel Halloween Costumes

It's the time of year again where people are carving pumpkins, decorating their homes with spooky lights  and American Apparel is displaying their famous costumes.

Here's some of my favorites, it really is crazy how you can make such cool costumes out of simple clothes.

Spring Trends

So, all this beautiful sunshine and FINALLY a little heat has inspired me to think about the days of shorts, skirts and tank tops that are just around the corner.

I am currently skimming the Spring Fashion 2010 Guide on nymag.com, and while the clothing is all fine and dandy for women with extra cash, I am going to find some substitutes from Urban Outfitters, Free People, and American Apparel.

Here we go....
