A Gilmore Girl For A Day

So I've just finished season one of Gilmore Girls (I know I'm late to the party with this show) and I absolutely love it! Whenever I watch it my wit somehow increases along with my affection for coffee, and honestly I'm not opposed to either of those things. Anyway, for the longest time I've done this thing where when I get really into something, my style will be sort of inspired by it. It could be a tv show, movie, book, blog, youtube channel, or whatever. 

I vividly remember being ten years old and super obsessed with the Molly An American Girl on the Homefront movie. We had it DVR'd (yes I just made that a verb), and I would just watch it over and over. I also remember loving Molly's style so much. I went through our Christmas wrapping box to find a ribbon to tie in my hair, which I paired with a skater skirt and a sweater. I loved that movie so much that I needed it to be apart of my life.

A couple years later, I got into the show Once Upon A Time. I still adore the show, but again there was this period of obsessiveness about it, to the point where I wore my leather jacket with a gray tank top and jeans to school. To some people that would seem like a normal outfit, but for someone who usually wears pink shirts and sparkly shoes, it was not. I was again unapologetically letting my style be influenced by what was impacting my life.

Now we are at present day, and I love the Gilmore Girls. The show is comforting, fun, and makes me nostalgic for some weird reason. So anyway, I got this idea to have one of my outfits be inspired by an episode. Nothing major, nothing strange, just a few elements of my look being inspired by the characters in the show. And then I got so excited about it that I thought I might take a few photos of the look and put them on my blog. And then this idea came about! I thought to myself that it would be a cool idea to make this a series on my blog where whenever I become obsessed with a new show, I could make an outfit inspired by it and throw up a fashion post along with a review of the show under the Films section. I haven't been this pumped about a blog post idea in a while, so I hope you enjoy! :)

I really loved this outfit/shoot for so many reasons.
  1. Double denim=totally early 2000's vibe which is the Gilmore Girls time period
  2. Wide leg jeans, something Rory and Lorelei would've worn
  3. White converse, another Rory staple
  4. The pins. My pins on the denim jacket made the outfit more personable in my opinion, but also a bit quirky in a good way
  5. My hairstyle, which is totally another Rory go-to
  6. Coffee, coffee, coffee. To be a Gilmore girl is to live on coffee
  7. The library, because Rory is obsessed with books
  8. The antique store which reminded me of Kim's antique's from the show

#NYFW 2017

9/9/2017

Hi! I'm back again this year with everyone you need to follow on social media to get the most out of New York Fashion Week. Snapchat, Instagram, and Vogue have you covered. Let's get started on my favorite week of the fall.

  1. My ultimate hack to experiencing NYFW while not in NYC is subscribing to the Vogue Runway email list. They are uber on top of all the top shows. Also, just visit the Vogue and/or Teen Vogue websites for an insider look.

    2.   My second tip to keeping up with NYFW is downloading the NYFW app. They have a lot of super cool           content on there, like the schedule of some of the shows, and a video of each of them. They only                 have a few popular/well known brands on there, like Christian Siriano and Project Runway, but it's a             really useful tool I wish I had known about last year. I highly recommend downloading it on the app               store.
    3.   Tip number three is a list of people to follow on Instagram who attend the shows (and lots of the                 designers themselves! They sometimes have the best content)

An Outsider Looking in on #NYFW

9/11/2016

It's New York Fashion Week, and all the shows so far have been amazing.  Or at least that's what I've gathered through social media.  Between Snapchat, Instagram, Instastories, and just the internet in general, it's fairly easy to keep up to date on what's happening at NYFW.  For someone who's obsessed with fashion but isn't able to attend NYFW, this is a pretty amazing thing.

Tommy Hilfiger TommyxGigi Fall 2016 Collection

Between models, bloggers, Youtubers, and celebrities, there's an endless supply of accounts to follow to keep up with NYFW.  One example of how I've gotten to experience NYFW was the Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2016 Show that was held at Pier 16.  There was carnival food, rides, games, and not to mention the very nautical ready-to-wear Fall collection.  It was so cool to see the show basically live, since Snapchat and Instastories are real-time.  I didn't have to wait until the next day or even up to a week later to hear all about what happened.  That's just one example of how social media made me feel included in NYFW.  If you can't be there in person, then it's the next best thing.

​It's been so cool to see all the highlights of fashion week so far, including TommyxGigi, Alexander Wang partnering with Adidas originals, the Marissa Webb collection, and Christian Siriano including plus sized models in his show.  I can't wait to watch the rest of NYFW unfold through social media, instead of sulking about how I'm not there.  Hope you enjoyed :)

Project Runway

This is probably one of the best shows in the history of TV.  I'm absolutely loving it!!!!!  Project Runway is a fashion designer show.  They pick 15 fashion designers to be on the show, and every week there's a new challenge for them to compete against each other.  First, they compete in the challenge (whatever it may be).  Then, they go to Mood (fabric store) and buy the materials they need to create the garment based off the challenge.  Next, they all head back to the Parson's School of Design and start sewing and putting together their designs.  They usually don't have a lot of time to do that.  The next morning, they have about 2 more hours to finish their garment(s) and put it on the model.  Then, all the models go down the runway, one at a time, and the judges write notes and vote on who's they like best.  Then, they say who one the challenge.  Finally, the person who lost the challenge has to go home.  It's a really exciting show, and I suggest you watch it :):):):):):):):):):):):):)

My Opinion on Some of My Fav Stores :)

8/13/2013

Here are some of my favorite stores to shop at with one of a kind clothes.

~Delia*s
I personally love it because I get a ton of fashion inspiration, and the fact they have a mixture of styles, but still really cute clothes.  They're a little expensive, but with great quality.  I also love to cut out pictures from the magazine and create inspiration collages out of them.

~Kohl's
I think about 3/4 of my wardrobe is this store.  They have such a fashionable juniors section, and my friends and I go there all the time.  This is the store I most recommend.   

~Target
What can I say about Target.  It is a fantastic store that makes looking for clothes really easy to find.  I usually head in there with a list of things to get, and find pretty much 3/4 of the stuff on the list.  Target has some of the cutest clothes!!!

~Burlington Coat Factory
This is one of those stores where if you're looking for something particular, you probably won't be satisfied.  But when you are just looking around and shopping, you can really find one-of-a-kind items here.  It's a very unique store!
