by youth, for youth

I must say that 2010 has been a really fast year and I’m usually oblivious about a lot of things that a lot of people make a bid deal of. But this year for some reason, I’m looking forward to a new year, maybe a fresh start is what’s making me anxious, hopeful. I’m pretty happy with my experiences and this year because I definitely learned a lot about myself and how to improve the “harsh stuff” that I’ve endure this year.

For the first year of the new decade, the only trend I could remember would be 3-D movies. I don’t even go to the movies that often but after watching damn 3-D movie commercials every single day, you’d get sick of it and just want to throw shit at the people who are funding this.

I can’t really think of any specific, major “fashion trends” this year, but the decade is still just  a baby, I think it’ll be till 2013 till another “leg-warmer’, plaid shirt,bell0bottom” trend comes along. I just hope it won’t be stupid or ridiculous that it won’t be chic the decade after that.

When I was younger, I always wished I lived and grew up as teenager/young adult  in a different decade, 60s,70s,80s, and of course 90s. I always didn’t care or noticed about the great things I grew up with now and I used to just wish to live in those movies that showed the ideal life of the decade. But of course, I learned that movies aren’t real and life back then might have been a little bit easier, but so much harder in many ways as well. I’m happy to say I’m growing up in a time where modern, contemporary, lifestyles exist and not having to take anything too seriously. I don’t have to worry about getting drafted or targeted for being under suspicion for having “the gay curse”. I guess I wouldn’t mind be ing a teenager in the 90s, that would be really cool, but I’m glad I was a least born then. :)

I would be 30 if I was 17 in 1997, but at least I would be able to see Leonardo DiCaprio when he was just gorgeous in Titanic. He was sooooo cute and now I just don’t know what happened.

Okay, so I’m sure that everyone is familiar with the popular serios on Bravo, “The Real Housewives of…” and the latest edition, is Beverly Hills. Now, I hate all the ones that have already been launched but surprisingly enough, I really love these new set of ladies. First of all I love Beverly Hills, after watching the original 90210 and “Death Becomes Her”, L.A. seemed like that glamorous place everyone wanted to be.

One of the main reasons I liked these women more, is because they were more charming to me and kind of realistic to be honest. Most of these girls actually did have careers and earned their money instead of just marrying rich and thinking that they’re hot shit which I really hate, ahemmm “New Jersey”. Two of the women were former child stars, one being the little girl in the Original “Halloween” movie and the other, in the original “Escape to Witch Mountain.” My favorite one though probably is Lisa who was originally from London and I loveeeeee accents to death! She’s the grandmother I wish I had and oh she seems like the sensible one.

For some reason, I just love these ladies. They’re so much more better looking and I must say a lot more classier. The one chic that is the “Danielle” of this city probably has to be Camille Grammar who is now in the phase of divorcing infamous Kelsey Grammar which I must say is karma for acting like such a F#%&

It’s true when they say that whatever goes around, comes around.

Anywhoooooo, last night’s episode was DRAMMMAAAAAA to the fullest and I’m sure me and the rest of America loved all the verbal slams that were sent through the table.

A lot of people hate that Christmas has gotten so commercial the past, what? Three decades? But nowadays, it’s gotten so commercial to the point of Adult Swim shows, Starbucks coffee, and commecials that have no relevance at all. I’m one of those people who don’t find it horrible actually. The only thing about the holidays that I despise are the Christmas songs that are constantly played back and forth all day on the radio. I also hate the old Christmas movies that they always show this time a year, which really shows how much commercialism has taken effect. :O But I love the feeling of a cold winter day, going to Starbucks and getting myself a peppermint mocha drink wearing my cashmere sweater and leather jacket, oooooohhh comfy.

Since it’s the holidays, everyone’s bank accounts are sinking getting gifts mainly for themselves and I don’t blame them. I recently bought two Alexander McQueen dresses on Ebay, and the cool thing is, they’re studio samples. One of them has such a gorgeous print from his Spring 2010 collection that has an earthy moth/butterfly effect print and the dress in only 60% done which I fine really funny. The front looks pretty good, has the print, but the back is almost completely bare with the exoskeleton of a dress in the making. I wasn’t distraught at this idea because I plan on wearing my leather jacket over the dress to cover the bare parts which will work perfectly. The other dress I got has everything together, it just has unfinished seams on the collar and the hem needs to be sewn, but all in all it’s a gorgoues silk shift which amazing cobalt blue paint effects on it.

School is about to start for me in less than two months and honestly, I’m worried. Not about the classes, but the people. I’m going to have to be surrounded by a lot of snooty people probably which is why I’m so happy about my new additions to my wardrobe because the first week of school os all about “POWER DRESSING”. For my first week of school, I’m going to wear a different Alexander Mcqueen dress and hopefully people will back off and not mess with me because what could be more silent and deadly than a gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress to protect you. Luckily I only have school three days a week which only means three dresses but I only have two, which brings me to my next dress that I want for Christmas, which will be a present for myself if I get it. His prints are so amazing, the only time I will wear color if it’s McQueen because it’s worth it!

The one on the left is what I want. This is a pretty dull picture but in real life, it will be more vibrant and will stand out when the sun shines, hahahaha.

And since I’m going to start school, that means I’m going to need a schoolbag. Okay, so I always wanted a Cambridge Satchel Company school bag because it’s so classic British style, I thought it would be so perfect, but $158? I’d rather have that toward this Prada bag that I could use instead, it’s much more my style and for some reason, it suits me.

Gorgeous :DDDDDD

This is my favorite look from Alexander McQueen’s infamous Spring 2010 collection. The Darwin inspired clothing that depicted reptilian and amphibian creatures that walked the runway in 10 inch monster heels that looked like the head of a long lost sea monster. This was his last collection shown in London before his tragic demise that placed such a stone feeling on the pits of fashion lovers’ stomachs.

I would seriously kill or these babies. I would wear these on the street every single day if I could.

The  models came out, dressed in short, reptile-patterned, digitally printed dresses, their gangly legs sunk in grotesque shoes that looked like the armored heads of a fantastical breed of antediluvian sea monster. McQueen, according to an internal logic detailed in a press release, was casting an apocalyptic forecast of the future ecological meltdown of the world: Humankind is made up of creatures that evolved from the sea, and we may be heading back to an underwater future as the ice cap dissolves.

“The consequences, in fashion terms? Well, it was a one-note, unmissable formula of the kind several other designers have decided is the way to communicate this season. McQueen’s message throughout was essentially sunk into the short dress—a steady development of his engineered sea-reptile prints, worked into a nipped-waist, belled-skirt silhouette. The colors—first green and brown, moving to aqua and blue—were exceptionally executed and swagged, and molded across panniered structures. Each dress was a work of computer-generated art crossbred with McQueen’s couture-based signature cut.”

“In a section in which it looked as if McQueen was envisaging a biological hybridization of women with sea mammals, there were trousers whose bulbous flanks mimicked the skin of sharks or dolphins. A reminder of his taste in Savile Row tailoring came via a few looks in which formfitting gray men’s fabric was cut away to reveal “portholes” filled with turquoise (an effect akin to the view from a glass-bottomed boat). Finally, then? Although there was nothing to show McQueen breaking out from his set design mold, the way he’s embracing new computer technologies and the drama of the moving image puts him at the leading edge of change.”

I love this collection with a passion except the prices, dresses from $8000 will make you look chic and gorgeous and the center of attention. Can I win the lottery now pleaseeeee

The Mulleavys’ main conceit was marbling. Pale leathers and silk chiffons were printed or silk-screened to resemble veined gray stone, then cut up Edward Scissorhands-style, collaged onto skirts and minidresses—like Frankenstein’s skin was pieced together—and worn with fierce hip boots by Nicholas Kirkwood. “Like straitjackets” is how Laura described some of the bondage-y leathers. When it came to knits, the sisters swept away the cobwebs to make room for denser, shaggy cardigans and thick cowls.

If the unvarying silhouette (high hem, high boots) was a bit relentless, each number was worked in such an individual way that it looked handmade. What the show lacked in breadth, it made up for in singularity.

“They are unique,” said Kirsten Dunst of the designers. “They didn’t just study fashion. You can see that. It’s very emotional clothing.”

Fashion report quoted : Certainly the intuitive Pasadena-based sister act continues to bring a frisson of excitement to New York fashion week. Their clothes generate strong reactions—positive, more often than not. Backstage, editors were effusive in praise of the collection’s mix of Balenciaga-like futurism and off-kilter romance. The Mulleavys wisely moved away from the Japanese and robotic references this season and toward something more organic: metal, wood, and stone. “We were interested in the building and taking apart of homes,” Laura explained. “And then an image of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein magically popped into our minds.” Thus anime made way for…yes, monsters
