Spaces + Faces

Ok... so another fail on my part. forgot to source these images. I know a few are from the ever popular Desire to Inspire but I can't remember which ones and how many. You know the drill, love the spaces love her jacket, shorts and overall everything lol.

Anyways! Yay! Its 2012! and time for a much needed change in my book. Time to get organized; not just with my things (or sourcing ability) but with my time and mental state as well. So I've enlisted the help of two much needed books:

1.  Journal

2.  Agenda Book

Now you may be thinking... ok? You're a 23 year old woman who just realized the importance of an agenda book? The answer is quite simply... yes. I'm extremely forgetful and that mind frame has taken over some very important aspects in my life. Journal is pretty self explanatory. Just a form of clearing my head at the end of the day. So like I said before, it's time for a change and why not now, right? No time like the present.

Here are a few of  my favorite things...
Color palette, hints of graphics, and simple geometric shapes.

Varsity Blues

Has anyone else noticed the wave of varsity jackets rolling in on the blog-o-sphere or is it just me? Regardless, I have always loved this kind of jacket super easy yet packed with loads of timeless style (even though its screams 1950's sock-hop its still extra timeless). 

I had a chance to buy one at a vintage shop in Chelsea, NY during fashion week and I didn't. I know... I'm a moron lol. Oh well, if its meant to be I'll run into another one and scoop it up like a slice of chocolate cake, without a moments hesitation. You'll be mine varsity jacket... you'll be mine.

Black on White :: White on Black

Firstly, I need to pledge my allegiance to Garance Dore. She takes such amazing portraits.

Love the black on white tones. Minimal graphic or pattern mixing here. Its just straight tone on tone. I've been seeing a lot of black walls in apartments and homes and I absolutely love it. Although I's love to the see the dimensions of the rooms with black walls. If you don't have a large room or massive windows to let in light, it would probably be a bit of a drag.

Secondly, I pledge my allegiance to Scott Schuman. Is it possible for me to claim dual citizenship here lol. 

Anywho... The photo above is one of my all time favorites. The outfit is just perfectly perfect with a touch of bright color. That being said its easy to see the relationship between the outfit and the spaces. Graphic with pops of color. That chandelier looks like a computer model right before it renders. I'm an architecture nerd clearly. 

Turn Back the Clock :: Fall Inspo 2011

Fall is among us. Personally, its my favorite part of the year. The weather is crisp with a hint of winter air. Of course where I live the weather remains in the low 70's perfect enough for a a layer or two which forces you to keep your style pretty simple emphasis on accessories like a great scarf, bag, scarf and a great laugh (ok ok I'm a cornball lol). But seriously, take note friends. Love this look.

Red and pink were everywhere during fashion month 2011. Such fun and whimsical looks. The good thing about red and pink is that every one and their mom can wear these colors no matter what the complexion.  Here are a few of some of my favorite looks from the that particular street style season. 

p.s. :: sorry about the inconsistent blogging. i'm currently in the process of making major/influential life decisions. :)

Peony Lim at NYFW 2012. Through a sea of extreme pattern mixing (don't get me wrong I LOVE pattern mixing) emerged this simple little number.
