As the summer continues I can only think about shoes!

First, I would like to apologize to all of my adoring fans for my extended absence of amazing blogging. I know that most of you are completely devastated, but, crisis averted I am back to write you some great things about my life in the Fashion World. As I wrote in the title, I have been having dreams about shoes, which is somewhat strange but still lovely. For those of you who do not know, I am a bit of a shoe whore and I still feel like there is never enough. Well at least my small collection does not seem to fit into my fashion needs of the moment. One issue I have with shoes is that I have big feet! Not like my good friend Clementine who had to wear boxes without topses, but still a size 10 is hard to come by. I spend endless hours at the store, wishing I could fit into a pair of Jessica Simpson Pumps; But yet, my dreams come crashing down when even her size 10 is more like an 8. I have come to the rough conclusion I must suffer or wear 200 dollar Cole Han heals to make it through the night. But to those of you who do not have extremely large feet, please see the new styles of Cole Han anyways, very hot.
Moving on, I have been forever on the search of a good pair of jeans that flatter the figure. Unfortunately, I am not bearing good news, as I have not found the best, most comfortable, still stylish pair of jeans but the search is forever on. I have been impressed with Express jeans in the past but I feel I must move on, more to come on jeans in the future.
Now to the good part, shopping for school/work clothes for the fall. I have always had the tradition of shopping for the new year every August. (Just happens to be my birthday month ;)
This year is not going to break that tradition, I have been scoping various shops like Nordstrom to get my style ideas. Then with the ideas fresh in my head I jam down to TJ Maxx to get my discounted stylish fits. Even though some of the shirts look like they might have some sort of white foreign matter on it,(lets hope its just deodorant), I can still get my fashion fix on a budget. If this is helpful to anyone who is feeling somewhat down about shopping, or just wants to laugh about some fashion issues I am always down to give a good laugh. I will write more when I feel more inspired this is more of a rant. As always Peace, Love, Fashion.

As the days go by...Kors is on my mind.

In my so busy life, I am amazingly finding the time to browse the abundance of fashion sites when the chance arrives. The most interesting fashion news, as according to the web, is the attention Maria Sharipova is receiving reguarding Wimbledon.Is she really is going classic sheik this year? I know that this might not be what you think of fashion, I personally would not see this as a huge turning point for the tennis wear industry, but none-the-less; she will always be an icon. The word on the .com is that she is is downplaying her look this year, as opposed to the diamond encrusted getup she had last year. As this is not a blog about what the hot celebrities are wearing, I just wanted to throw that out there, and by the way who needs diamonds to play tennis?
Moving on to a more serious subject I would like to hit the main fashion areas of the world with my thoughts of newest styles. The first victim is New York. This classic city is known for making the girls scream with glee walking down the "ave". The most recent runway video I watched was Micheal Kors releasing his summer line. I know this is a little late in the season to be discussing the summer runway show, but I have been a busy girl. ( Don't worry I will talk about the fall 2008 line next.) This summer line was beautiful from Kors, He was giving woman an 80's meets Miami beach throw back. The bright flowey dresses reminded me somewhat of the woman from project runway who was all about the Miami look. Michael, you know better then to steal from your own pupils! I especially liked some of the itty bitty bright bikini's that remind of me of the 60's and 70's. Florescent pinks and oranges, swirling like rainbow sherbet, but in a floral pattern; Very elegant.Oh the classics will never die.
The fall collection of "Ready to Wear" by Kors is typical for him. He is mixing light browns with pastels to give it a feminine flair to drab fall weather.(which might not even happen this year if the weather doesn't get on some bipolar medication.) In any case, I have always been a fan of Kors, and this season does not disappoint yet again. Sailor style jackets are always a favorite of mine, and Kors does a cute skirt suit with the jacket to jazz it up. A few of the dresses in this collection make me think of 1942, an elegant woman with the curled hair, holding an extra long cigarette in her hand waiting outside of the swing club. Very Sheik. As to not bore you by too many details, take my word for it, Kors is going to be a hit this fall. Check back for my next runway show review. Peace Love and Fashion.
