xoxo, gossip girl style series no. 2

In need of more Halloween inspiration? Look no further than the most glamorous show on television, Gossip Girl. Because like everything else, the Upper East Siders do Halloween a little differently. Picture this (or watch the episode, How to Succeed in Bassness) : A club filled with socialites sipping martinis dressed in sparkling vintage 1920s frocks. Jealous much? I was, as I am quite infatuated with all things 20s. I even wrote and produced a play set in that time period (for more 1920s style click here, for more gossip girl style click here). Anyways, my eyes were literally glued to the screen. Oh how I wish to stroll around in a glamorous sequined mini. Sigh. A flapper would be a fabulous Halloween costume. If you decide to take on the role of a 1920s temptress, do send/post pictures!

For more 20s inspiration take a peek at this Vogue editorial. The Lady is a Vamp ♥ ..

By the way, sorry for the constant Halloween posting.. What can I say, I'm very excited!

A Magazine to Worship

Went to see The September Issue last night. Honestly, it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. And I'm not exaggerating. I had heard that it was brilliant, but wasn't quite sure if it would cut it for me. If it would satisfy my craving for all things Vogue and Anna Wintour. Well, The September Issue did much more than that. It was informative eye candy. This movie allows you to look into Anna's, as well as Grace's (Vogue's acclaimed stylist) lives. Their glamorous yet stressful lives that I now know are certainly worthy of my lust. I would definitely recommend this movie for all Vogue readers or anyone who's ever dreamed of working in the fashion industry. Trust me, it's worth your money :)

Wishing For [ P a r i s ]

I wish I were in Paris, strutting along in stilettos, but alas, I'm not. I have to let go of my fantasies and realize that I still need to go to school and handle all of my day to day responsibilities. So, once again I'm quite sorry for the lack of lengthy posts and/or any posts at all. I hope to return to constant blogging ASAP! I hope all of you are having a fabulous week. Kisses!

CHIC.

Halloween, the one day you can be anyone or anything you want. A sexy seductress, whimsical fairy tale character, frisky black cat, or even the classic witch; no matter what you are, have fun with it. Halloween only comes once a year ;)

There's nothing quite like a steaming cup of cider, a bag full of delicious treats, or crisp air filled with blowing leaves. All of these things give you a feeling that you will only come across on this one day. Halloween brings back childhood memories of sticky candy corn and the visits to the dentist that followed. You remember running down a chilly street, ringing countless doorbells.

I have thousands of Halloween memories, but one that stands out among the rest. After a long night of trick-or-treating my younger sister and I would come home and watch Tim Burton (one of my favorite directors) movie marathons. Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd were among our favorites. As you must have guessed, this is why I posted this Tim Burton editorial; for your viewing pleasure, and my reminiscing.

So, what am I going to be, you ask? Well you'll just have to wait and see ;) I made my costume all by myself and I am actually very proud. It turned out much better than I expected. Previous costumes of mine include the likes of Little Miss. Muffet, a flapper, a lion, a witch, and Audrey Hepburn.

What are your Halloween plans, or memories? And what are you planning on being? :)

pretty please;

Mmm. Christopher Kane for Topshop. I need this dress ASAP.
