Designer of the Week: Balmain

Balmain designer Christophe Decarnin brings an edgier look to the fashion house that traditionally produced classic designs and dressed movie stars such as Ava Gardner.

It was this last dress that made me want to check out the rest of the Balmain collection. The whole thing is modern and leggy, and made for a girl who likes to party. But really, what is better than tons of sparkle and animal print combined?!

Feelin' Beachy

Yesterday I walked around the mall for a bit to check out some new fall stuff. There were a ton of sales going on but unfortunately I couldn't indulge! I found an awesome lime green bag that matched my shorts, but it was a bit pricey! Anyway, so here is me:

Ali in Cavalli

Ali Larter looked stunning at the Trump Tower Dubai launch. Her Roberto Cavalli dress was simple, yet stunning. She just looked super comfortable which is always refreshing to see on a red carpet!

New Shoes!

My mommy loves me!

She came to visit and got me these super cute shoes! I have been wearing them around the house but I can't wait to wear them out!

Missing: Lots of CLothes

I am severely suffering from lack of dressing! No, this doesn't mean I've been running around naked for the past 3 months! It means that I have a crazy (in a very good way!) boyfriend who is building a supercar out of wood. For those of you who don't know, check it out- http://www.joeharmondesign.com/
Since I finished school in May, I've been helping him with the project day and night. We don't do anything except work on the car. No one understands this, but it is true. (for example, it is 10:42pm and Joe is still out in the garage working. He started before 7 this morning. Oh, and did i mention it is saturday?!) So yeah, all this work means that I miss choosing nice clothes, doing my make up and brushing my hair! Well, I guess I could do all three of those, but really, I am so dirty at the end of the day that I am hardly recognizable and my clothes is barely visible under layers of sawdust and epoxy! In 2 weeks the project will be done and we'll take the car to a big show in Atlanta. Then I start school.
This means dressing again. It also means shopping again. I am so close I can almost smell and feel the fabric...
To my clothes that has been hanging untouched in the closet- you are my medication and soon I will be cured.

P.S. If anyone wants to leave me links of pretty clothes/sites/blogs to live vicariously through during this time, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
