it's hard to live in the city

I've been following you for blocks and I wish you would stop and tell me your name.

What we're wearing. (From beginning to end)

Pictures 1-4: I'm wearing a blazer, belt, bracelet and grey tunic from h&m, random grey tights, and B.P. fringe boots. All these pictures were taken at the little lounge on our floor at the hotel we stayed in. The city lights outside of the window behind me were so bright! But of course, they did not show up in the pictures. And oh, I was wearing Boris & Natasha nail polish (Boris and Natasha! Like Rocky & Bullwinkle!) by O.P.I.

Picture 5: This is me and my sister Jules walking along the beautiful Charles River. You can't really see Jules though.. Ahhh, I wish I was still in the city. I will talk about these outfits later...

Picture 6: My mom was trying to be "artsy" and took this picture of some window. It was quite a lovely window.

Picture 7: This is me, trying to look modelesque in Beacon Hill (aka, the Upper East Side of Boston). 

Picture 8: My sister Jules in an alley, looking ravishing in some clothing of which I do not know the origins.. I will have to ask her. Although I do know that she is wearing her Steve Madden Bonanza boots. She is such a little fashionista! You wouldn't believe it if I told you how old she is.

Picture 9: Me, Laur, in the same alley, attempting to model. Wearing my mom's Marc Jacobs sunglasses (I forgot my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses in the hotel room), my Tulle jacket, the same random beret from Nordstrom from before, purple Zara leggings, and my B.P. fringe boots.

Unfortunately my mom didn't want to have to lug the camera around to Blue Man Group, or anywhere we ate.. All of the food I had on this trip was exquisite. I also missed out on taking pictures of our day on Newbury Street. I found this lovely vintage Hermès t-shirt with a map of Paris on it. But it didn't fit good enough for $130 dollars unfortunately. I also didn't take any pictures of my cute little ensemble with my Marc Jacobs mouse flats. I love those little guys!

Well I will probably do another post on my trip sometime this weekend, going more into detail on what we did and where we ate.. If you are planning a trip to Boston I can tell you some great places to dine & shop! Hmmmm, I just love the city. Any city, in fact. 

Yours truly,

who won best picture?

That's who.

I can't even begin to explain how happy I am for everyone that worked on Slumdog Millionaire. I've never seen something so stunning in my life. They truly deserved every win they received, and if you haven't seen this movie yet, go see it tonight! Get some of your friends together, head out to the theatre, buy a ton of sweets (indulging is good every once in a while!) and watch this amazing film. Trust me, it will be worth it. The child actors in it are just adorable! Not to mention they were all at the Oscars last night! Seeing them on the red carpet just about made my day. 

All in gorgeous little Brooks Brothers ensembles. Ahhhh, everytime I see this picture it makes me smile. Now onto the best dressed..

Best Dressed

The beautiful Anne Hathaway;

Mmmm. I don't know where to begin with this extremely lovely Armani Privé gown. Not to mention those stunning Cartier jewels. I believe it makes Hathaway appear to be a dewey looking, gorgeous, sparkly mermaid. It fits her dreamily, and she looks happy wearing it. Well, who wouldn't be happy wearing that jaw dropping masterpiece?

So just to let you all know I am going away for a few days to Boston, my third favorite city, followed by Miami, and of course, New York! I'll probably be coming back late Friday night. I'm going to get my hair cut, and nails done, as well as go shopping. I'm also seeing Blue Man Group. I promise to take lots of pictures and videos of me in the city, plus show you all of my great finds! 

Until I return,

I've wanted a pair of vintage Chanel sunglasses for a while. So, which pair? I think I am leaning towards the black quilted ones. Because I don't wear much brown at all. What do you think readers?

Love,

friday night dreaming

If you remember a few posts ago I mentioned the Barbie 50th Anniversary fashion show. Well, thanks to the supermelon.com I can show you pictures of the show. Oh, this whole idea of a life-size Barbie fashion show brings me back to my childhood years. Ahhhh. Remind me to buy some nail polish in Barbie's signature "bubble-gum pink" color.

In other news, I have been feeling rather uninspired lately.. Which is part of the reason I haven't been posting much. But after reading La Couturier's latest post, I have been feeling rejuvenated! So thank you, thank you, thank you to La C. at La Couturier! And if you have never read her blog, now is the time to start! It is amazingly inspirational, uplifting, witty, and very well written. click!

Due to the epiphany I had while reading La Couturier I decided that I am going to make weekly inspiration collages and lists. As well as become a more dedicated blogger. Starting now.

So readers, what has been inspiring you lately? And oh, I know I made this very crudely and quickly. I am so tired and in need of sleep desperately. Also, I am going to answer some of your questions about me in an upcoming post. Anything at all. So ask away! Well I am going to get some shut eye :D

Yours truly,

Lust. Lust. Lust!

Love,

my apologies

Hey all. So sorry for not posting anything in forever.. Geometry Honors is killing me. Plus, winter carnival is this week at my school, and during winter carnival we do a lip sync. Basically I have to memorize the words to 2493247247 songs and learn dances for all of them. And I'm the one mixing the music. So that has pretty much taken over my life. Hmm, I'm not sure when I will do a real post, as soon as possible I guess.. But after lip sync is over, I will post pictures of it, or maybe a video if I can get one. You can see my cool moves ;]

Until then,

my heart beats for wang

I have been lusting over Alexander Wang's spring collection since I first laid eyes on it. I just adore the brightly colored blazers. I am getting an art-deco vibe from these clothes as well. I recently went on a trip to Miami which completely reminds me of this. Sometime I should make a post comparing the pictures I took on my trip to the clothes in this collection... Anyways, all of these clothes are definitely on the top of my wish list. What about you readers, what do you think of this collection? Comments would make my life nice.

Mattel will be staging a full-scale runway show for Barbie! Oh, how wonderful. Fifty designers are are creating looks for the real life dolls, including Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Sui, and Rachel Roy who designed the look above. Thanks to style.com for the picture. Oh and Christian Louboutin will be creating those classic pink pumps that clutter every five year old girl's room. This should be fun! 

Yours truly,

happy valentines day.

Hi all. Happy sunday afternoon. So, first of all:

say, "hello," to neon mango.

The brand spanking new blog of all things fashionable. My name is Lauren, otherwise known as Laur. I live in the middle of nowhere, and have no way to let out my sense of style. To help with with that matter, I hope that I will meet some of you who have also dedicated your life to shoes, shirts, dresses, jeans, tunics, jewelry, etc. By keeping this blog I wish to inform my readers of new clothing trends, my opinions on various topics, my insight into the fashion world, and hopefully, create an enjoyable reading experience for you. I will try to add video blogs on here as often as possible, and also try not to ramble on. I would appreciate it if you voice your opinions on my blog, and give me constructive feedback. However, I know that not all of your comments will be kind, and I am as prepared for that as I possibly can be.

Now I know this isn't really that interesting of a post, but I promise to start to become more interesting soon. Until then,
