New Soul

A 5 0'clock wake up time for a last minute physics cram session has left me just enough time to write a quick post before I begin getting ready for the day!

The flapper costume fell through. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to put one together. Instead, I was a hippie. A rather boring costume, but the easiest. All I had to do was open my closet!

Halloween day I was finally able to get my hair done!!

It's sad that Halloweenie is over :( Candy, pumpkins, candy corn...I'm going to miss it.
What did y'all do for Halloween??

Have a great week everyone!

Lucky

Yes, this post title is inspired by the over-played, but brilliant, Jason Mraz song...but I just felt it suitable considering how great life has been. I have been Taste of Fashion MIA for a long time, but I am back and better than ever :) This school year has been grand. Everything about is good. I'm challenged, but not overloaded with work. I am constantly surrounded by friends and family. I am immersed daily with fashion and the arts. ...and gelatto, warm apple cider, candy corn, and pumpkin flavored foods are part of my daily diet. With October may come the despised cold weather, but it has to be one of the most fun months of the year. I have gone to a Halloween decorated theme park, apple picking, fall football games, and soon to be Halloween shopping.

This brings me to a, much needed, blogger friend favor. I need YOU, yes YOU to help me out with my Halloween costume. I'm going to be a 20's flapper...but need ideas and advice! So post a helpful comment or send me an e-mail with pictures of ideas. Your advice is greatly appreciated :) I wish I could say the best advice will win you a prize...but that's not true...you will be my new blogger best friend!! (who wouldn't want that!)

Scarves have generally been October's accesory staple. I went into Target this evening on the hunt for moccasins, but came out with brown boots, black flats, and a yellow scarf! Gotta love the scarfs.

I give each and every one of you full permission to scold me on my lack of posting... those leather shorts I bought in the summer I had yet to post a picture of. Well, there you go!

Monique Lhuillier...perfection. Everything about the show was lovely.
Have a wonderful Autumn filled week everyone. It's good to be back.

Quando Quando Quando

School has started. I have dreaded the beginning of the school year since the first day of summer vacation. Now that it is here, I am realizing that school is not that bad. I will be the first person to say I hate school, but I can totally get through this year. Although it will be a difficult year, I am positive this will be a brilliant year...even though I am currently writing a boring essay.skirt from Macy's, racerback tank from Forever 21, earings from an art festival, vintage belt.

Not having a camera is really sucky :(

When blondes wear blue in a sophisticated style, it looks fantastic.

Have a great week everyone!

I Will Possess Your Heart

School starts in two days. GASP. Yes, two days. The end of summer is always so sad. Suprisingly, I'm not too sad this year. I'm actually quite indifferent. Sure, this summer was fun but nothing too exciting happened. I enjoyed myself, but most of my time was spent working and relaxing. It was a good summer :)

I already have my first day of school outfit planned out. This picture isn't the best because, since I don't have a camera, it was taken on my phone.

dress from american eagle, lace nighty (underneath) from aerie, belt from lucky brand jeans.

Is it a good first day of school outfit?? I like it. Originally, I was just going to wear the lace nighty, but I think this is more appropriate.

Have a great week everyone :)

A Drop In The Ocean

I just realized that I can take pretty good photos on my phone. HOPEFULLY I will have an outfit post soon! Certainly there will be one for the first day of school. I already have my outfit planned out. I recently made an order on www.lulus.com. Here's what I bought.


Chelsea Girl Vegan Leather Shorts.

Alternative Apparal Madonna Slouch Pocket Tee in Grey.

Alternative Apparal Madonna Slouch Pocket Tee in Navy.

Airline to Heaven Dress.
Dress detail below.


Lulus is such a great site. I found so many things I wanted. I had a wishlist about a mile long, but one can only buy so much :( I'm happy with the staples I bought. As you can see, I adore Alternative Apparal. Hence, the green bag I cart around every day.

Have a great week!

Carry Me Home

Unfortunately, tragedy has struck my household. A family member has passed away from cancer. Therefore; my family will be taking an unwanted vacation to the funeral. I will also be missing the Blink concert :(

But life must go on.

Looklet is soooo much fun. It's so nice to be able to see clothing on a model. It's better than polyvore!!! This is my mood of late.

Having no camera is so sad. I have worn so many outfits I've wanted to show you all, but can't because I have no way of documenting them!went shopping yesterday. I've loaded up on the same laid back, casual, pants in shades of green, tan, grey, khacki...they are so comfortable. I also bought a long tye dye peasant skirt, a plaid shirt/dress, purple tights, grey tights, an orange embroidered tank dress, a flowery lace lingerie inspired dress, headbands, and a suede fringed vest. It was a successful trip.

Have a great week everyone. Summer is almost over, go outside! Enjoy what is left of this lovely season :)

Maybe

The Ingrid Michaelson concert was amazing to say the least. Can it be possible that a singer sounds better live than on record?? Not only does Ingrid have an engaging stage presence, but a crystal clear, spot on, beautiful voice. Her backup singer/guitar player was extremely talented as well. My friend and I thouroughly enjoyed the concert. We were thrilled when we received autographs and hugs from Ingrid after the show. My favorite song from the set was "Maybe" from her new album. Check it out!!




I wore: black dress from Forever 21, shoes from Forever 21, necklace from a fair, bangles from boutique in Florida, bag from Alternative Apparel.

Last week I was lucky enough to go to two concerts! Towards the end of the week I went to a Cute Is What We Aim For Concert. Although my expectations for the show weren't very high, Cute Is What We Aim For played an awesome show. AND raised a ton of money for a local theatre's restorations. Shant, the lead singer, has a suprisingly good voice...and enduring stamina. His acoustic performance of Lyrical Lies was really quite lovely. But my ultimate favorite of the night was an energetic performance of Hollywood. PERFECT.

I wore: shoes from American Eagle, leggings from Hot Topic, grey dress from Forever 21, black shirt from my auntie :) , necklace from a fair, bag from alternative apparal.

Less than a week left before the Blink-182 concert!!
Have a great day everyone :)
