Dr. Martens and Carson


I have them and it seems like everyone in the world has them. Lourdes Leon, Lauren Conrad, Kristen Stewart - but what are these things you ask? They are the adorable Dr. Martens pronounced (Doc//Martens: A type of work boot). Though these boots were made initially for workers, they've become a fashion icon.

Teen Vogue Puh-lease.

Time to celebrate! Teen Vogue has had 64 issues today! With Dakota Fanning on the cover, they couldn't have done it a better way. Here are some pictures and info about some of the best Teen Vogue Covers and even the first, and my experience with Teen Vogue. In this picture of Teen Vogue with Hayden Christensen and James King is the first issue of Teen Vogue Ever!

Someone Who Understands Explain Christmas

I being only 12, have only had several Christmas's in my lifetime. They all seem to stay under the same genre, though this year I would love to convince my parents to go more traditional and make new traditions for our family. My family is the kind of go with the flow, easy type of people we're okay with a 5" plastic Ficcus of a Christmas Tree. Our Ornaments break easily and our from the 99 cent store, but I guess we only focus mainly on the presents. I mean who can't? Brightly wrapped, near the chimeny, bows, and ribbons and stockings stuffed with presents upon presents just for YOU. No Holiday can get better than this, besides Birthday's.

I've been trying to convince my father to get a real Christmas tree, even though it's only November. As he's inspecting the old one in the garage, the "leaves" are falling off of it. " I don't see what's wrong with it," he said putting the " leaf" back on it. " Looks about fine to me," he said grabbing his gardening tools. I role my eyes and put my hands on my hips examing the scrawny little thing.


" This doesn't even count as a Christmas tree, Dad! It's a ficcuss!" I said annoyed, " look at this." I said touching the tip of the tree, several leafs fell off.


" I f you keep doing that it won't make it till Christmas," he laughed shutting the garage door, we both walked out. I was still very angry about this, I mean I really wanted to have a good Christmas. I want a real tree, stockings, hot chocolate, gingerbread man, and television specials on the big screen television with my family! Is that too much to ask for? I would write a letter to Santa, but I'd be embarassed not to put it on my signature pink paper, which was low at the moment.


I went to go talk to my mom after telling her exactly what I want for Christmas, " A Free City sweatshirt like the one Dakota Fanning has, A Blackberry Pearl with a crystal case, Tory Burch Moccasins, and a Rodarte for Target dress." She ignores me because she's on eBay buying her Christmas gift, from herself, to herself. " Mammy, are you listening?" I asked waving my fingers in front of her.

" Can't talk, busy bidding on Pucci bra!" She repeats, and she won she turns to me and says. " Now what were you saying about The Jonas Brothers?" I grunted then walked out of the room.

" Nothing mom," I really won't be satisified without a real christmas tree. So when I'm doing my reading in Vogue the Decemeber issue i'm circling everything that is Christmas related, and sadly only one thing related to a Monorah. But there was tons of Christmas, Holiday things. I cut them out, glued them on a piece of paper and put them on a fridge leaving a note. " This is Christmas. If these things don't happen I migth revolt." Happy Holidays everyone!


Fashion is Like Chocolate, depois de uma mordida vocĂȘ anseia mais

"Fashion is Like Chocolate, depois de uma mordida vocĂȘ anseia mais." Which is Portugese for, " Fashion is Like Chocolate, after one bight you crave more." Which is honestly the truth. One day when I was skipping through Walmart I past the magazine section. My eyes glazed past the usual Teen Vogue and Nylon { I was already subscribed to them and utterly bored}. My eyes met the Vogue September Issue with Charlize Thereon on the cover. This was my first Vogue ever!

So now that I'm looking back, flipping through the magazines I realized that 2/3 of this magazine were ads. And the rest of the 1/3 were pictures or like landscaping or something. With this in mind I grabbed my Harper's Bazaarus also the September issue with Leighton Meester on the cover, and realized it was the same. I thought to myself, " Where's the Fashion?" and was hopelessly confused. So as I studied Leight, Charlize and Anna Panquin on the cover of Nylon I realized that the Fashion was the place you least likely suspected it to be. This one might be a shocker so hold on tight: THE WORDS!


The words had the fashion in it the whole time. Reading over it I found out that Diane Von Fursten berg was mostely famous for her wrap dresses, and that Oscar De La Renta's outfits can sometimes be really extravagant and even sometimes dangerous! This all fascinated me, and I share this upon all of you. Escalaber and read, find out things you never knew before and maybe you can find the monsters within.

Before and After Perhaps?




When you're front seat at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and Coco Rocha and Iekliene Strange come prancing down the runway looking extra fabulous you wonder, if they've always looked this way. Now we've already established Chanel Iman used to be an average face, but lets see some before and afters shall we?
The picture on the right is a Polaroid picture of Coco Rocha with Elite Model Management, it's one of the pictures they do when you basically, "audtion" to be a model for their company. Well I think that Coco's just stunning, but in this picture her usual outrageously gorgeous features, look like the characteristics of a fish.


Don't get me wrong or anything, Coco is amazing, Vogue, Bazaar, Pop, Teen Vogue even Vague (which seemed down until she picked it up after Cory Kennedy). Now comparing the too Coco and Cory you can see the similarities and things that just don't add up. Coco has a little bit of a smaller nose, Cory's is more rounder. So when Coco's gracing the cover of Vague you're thinking, " Cory?!" But don't be fooled by the fox-faced beauty it is for sure Rocha.

Un, Duex, Twa, Cat, Sank

Trying my best to understand French. One day I told myself, " I'm going to learn French, go to Paris talk to someone in French and go shopping in SoHo Le Freencee." Or maybe just go Des Les Garcons or something, maybe even see Yelle at her favorite store. So I'm looking at French Vogue online, something that I do a lot when I see similarties in the Rodarte dresses for Target and the ones on Runway.


This Rodarte Spring 'o9

Rodarte For Target: The Dress I Love

Chanel Iman, That's About All I Can Say


So Chanel Iman, I'm looking at her and I can see she's obviously beautiful am I right? But where's the model, so I begin to look up different pictures of her. Because let's just face it people you can't flip through basically any magazine without seeing her or Karlie Kloss in it. Except for Vogue India probably, that's mostly the beautiful Frieda Pinto. After searching through several stunning pictures I see the model in her, and in these pictures I even see it anymore. Though the first picture looks like some average, 5'11, thin girl if you keep looking at it you'll start to see more and more of the model in Chanel!

For goodness sakes she's on Vogue: Korea! If she's on that she has done a lot with her life. I guess she's frequenting around New York now, going to various Gosee's or something along those lines. I've giving this once average looking girl a new nickname. The World's Next Supermodel! Not only has she graced magazines and runways all over America, but even more! Jamaica, Hawaii, Paris, Italy, even KOREA! So Chanel you've been graced on by me and Chanel{my bag}, you're welcome.






Dakota Fanning and lots of Coffee

I know it's a little bit too early, butt I'm figuring out what I want for Christmas, more or less what I want as an adult and what I'm going to be. Plastic Surgeon? Fashion Photographer for Bazaar? Intern for Teen Vogue until it's end? I don't know all I know is that Dakota Fanning has a Phillip Lim shirt that driving me crazy, I have to have it. Guess what else the pint-size actress is wearing with it? The Free-City Sweatpants of my dream, she's wearing the ankle boot chocolate Uggs, and a Burberry Scarf around her neck. In her hand is Starbucks, which is obviously hot because her pale hand is redder than the other. Her hair is put up into a nice high ponytail and she's smiling at the Pap's(Short for Papparazi). It's probably like 1:00 - 2:55 am in the morning and she looks absoloutely fabulous, even when she's just getting a Caramel Mociato. Me and Chanel are super jealous.

Thinking About Jacob, Marc Jacobs.

Thinking about adding some fashion pictures, and even some links but still delibarting about this all. Also thinking about Jacob my love, Marc Jacobs that is. On my birthday I got a lot of presents; Juicy Couture Charm Bracelet, Prada Wallet, etc but I don't think they could compare to the Miss Marc Jacobs bag I recieved. My mom put the bag in a different bag, and passed it to me, one look inside I said smugly, " Marc Jacobs."

My parents laughed, and my mom said, " You're good - eh?" and I nodded, then she gave me another bag and it was a dress that was blue and silk and had a giant blue bow. Guess who it was by, I'm still sort of in shock. All I can say is that I love that my mother.

Vera Wang is a Life Saver!

I'm flipping through the tv guide, when I see Keeping Up With The Kardashians: The Wedding Is On. I'm quite fascinated with other peoples lives so I decided to watch it, I didn't even care that I came in an hour late. Khloe wanted a Vera Wang dress in just a week, I lifted my hands up laughing, " Yeah right, darling!" But Superhero Vera, managed to make just about one of the most stunning dresses ever, which fit Khloe like a glove. I've come to the difficult descision of saying that Vera Wang is cooler than Spiderman. Chanel{My Bag} flipped the Chanel to The Devil Wears Prada and sat for two hours in complete aw of the amazingness.

Rodarte Is With Target Now, This Is A Good Day.

So, I'm doing my usual flip through Teen Vogue (I just look at the pictures). When I see a pint size girl, and underneath her is a stunning tan dress. Immediatly I flipped the page, I'd be devistated when I saw the price and whom it was by, but being the braveheart I was I went back and read, " Rodarte for Target, Dress: $40.00." I couldn't help but scream and shout and basically throw the magazine in the air, catching in a hurry I rushed to show my mother who nodded. " What's Rodarte?" She asked.

I cocked my head to the side and thought about this for a second. My mother, the Fashion Queen who knows every designer A-Z didn't know who Rodarte was! Well neither did I, " I dunno." I replied, " sounds fancy, looks cute," was about all I could manage to come out. I thought I've heard of Rodarte before, maybe in The September Issue perhaps? Or possibly I was frequenting www.style.com and clicked on it. Thought it still haunts me, why I didn't understand what it was I continued reading. After reading I began my research, on Rodarte and lets just say quote on quote, " I'm In Love." So I'm just waiting until Rodarte finally comes out with Target, so right now me and Chanel {My Chanel Bag} are glazing over the flimsy pages of Teen Vogue counting the seconds.
