Fashion Icon- Edie Sedgwick

Edie Sedgwick was the Fashion Icon of the 60's and believably so. Her sense of fashion was so uninhibited and free. Completely admirable. I feel like I chime on her fashion sense every once in a while, and her way of going about it. She would put together an outfit quickly and run out the door and it would all be pulled together flawlessly. You'd never guess no planning went into it. I think this is the greatest way to outfit yourself. You should love every piece you own and rock it when you wear it. I'm weeding out my closet for all the clothes that no longer reflect me and donating them. Fashion is a lot more exciting when you hold no boundaries for yourself, be the you you want to be no holds barred. Indulge in your inner Edie Sedgwick; and not just fashion wise but psychologically, (No do not go run and become a heroin addict!) but take risks, act spontaneously. Everyday can be a lot more interesting.

Here are some things I'm in love with at the moment:

Fashion No No...

Today as I was parading around campus during my downtime, this girl walked by me and I am not one to judge but I couldn't help noticing this crazy teeter tottering horrible fashion disaster. Heels with a backpack. What the heck! Her outfit was cute otherwise but the extra weight was throwing her into a wobble. It was extremely packed out and it was making her hunched and completely contradicting what heels do for your walk and posture. Heels make you walk with graceful long sexy strides, and straight posture. Backpacks make you hunch and put your balance off and frankly make you look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Backpacks are actually horrible for your back and posture. So in response to this, I compiled a list of things that work for me, that you can do to lug those books around without having to sacrifice your style.

- Bring only the books for the class you have next and leave the rest in the car.
- Get a locker. ( Most colleges have them for students with art classes.)
- Take advantage of the oversized bag trend, or purchase a stylish tote and stuff them in there.
- If you know you're not going to need your text just bring a notebook and pen.







Go nuts and buy something that really screams your individual style.

Fall is showing it's beautiful face!

I for one have been extremely excited for fall. It is my absolute favorite season. The weather is perfect and the leaves are ridiculously beautiful. I could stare at them for hours. I'm not even kidding. My main goal is to actually make it to Central Park this fall. It's so insane the way it looks. It's almost unbelievable that it is real. Seriously looks like it is right from a movie set. (picture above is central park in fall...amazing!)

Plans I have :
-Walk through Central Park
-Row Boats in Central Park
-Pick Pumpkins out East
-Make Pumpkin Seeds
-Carve Pumpkins
-Make lot's of cards for my friends
-Play in the leaves!!

I'm going to be a complete child again come this fall, I can't wait to play in the leaves. I remember my parents had to call me in the house a million times in the fall because I'd constantly be in the leaves and I always had them stuck in my hair. I'm a fall baby and you can definitely tell. I have a whole new vibrancy during this season. Soy Chai Tea, Pumpkin Spice, Caramel Apple Cider. Thankfully my boyfriend works at Starbucks because I'd waste all my money on these drinks. Ohhhh man I get all sentimental and can't stop thinking about cuddling up in cozy sweaters watching a good movie with a great big cup of tea. Swooooning. I will have fun posts coming up with little crafty and fun fall activities and events. Just you wait.
