There is a reason stores aren't opened late at night

Last night was the first time that Fashions Night Out came to Los Angeles, and it was a night to remember. From Rodeo Drive to the streets Melrose people filled the the city with their shopping bags and their FNO t-shirts buying almost everything in site. I think the highlight of my night was walking threw Robertson, all of the stores on street were either hosting parties inside, doing photo shoots, having styling competitions, giving away prizes and a bunch of other things, but i was too tired to notice (i'm not the kind of person who likes staying up late). I saw the Mayor of Los Angeles go into Intermix where they were having a huge party with a DJ and a band from England, I bet there was a lot more going on in there but it was for people 21 and over so I wouldn’t know.  Next door to Intermix was  the Anya Hindmarch handbag store where they held a photo shoot, there you could pick any bag from the store and take a “creative” photo of you holding the bag. If you had the most “creative” photo then you would win something, but I was fatigued and the time they told me and so I don’t remember what it was. So when it was my turn to take a photo i used my camera and out my hands threw the bag which I though was a unique idea until I saw a lady do a head stand and balance the bag on her feet. We left at 10 o'clock because my family my friend and I were pretty tired, but it was okay because we covered almost ever place we intended to go. Lets hope that next year I will be able to stay up later.

As you can see this would probably win

"BOOKMARC"

Last Friday BOOKMARC opened on Bleeker and West 11th Street in downtown Manhattan. A Marc Jacobs book store. Other than books the store also sells journals, pencils and other things in that category. Oh and if this doesn’t excite you (which I'm not sure is possible) then this will, Robbery Duffy recently said that there is also a Marc Jacobs Cafe in the works! 

If only i lived in New York...

Brainwashed

Today was my first day of 8^th grade, and all I can say is that I’ve never seen so much plaid in my life. So there is a collar rule at my school and people usually go for the flannel collars, which I personally can’t pull off and think that if you can pull it off you still will look the same as most kids. I know plaid is trending again but, it would be much more appealing to the eye to see a put together outfit rather than a flannel and skinny jeans. I think that before the end of this week I will be completely brainwashed with all this plaid and probably start dreaming about picnic blankets, the only thing that will keep me away from these nightmares are these lovely boat shoes that I saw a few kids wearing by Steve Madden which I think is such a great buy cause you can always wear them. Oh and just in case those don’t keep the dreams away then my new obsession with penny loafers will, and there so comfortable and basically go with anything and you can find them at almost every store.   

Can fall come any sooner?

So with fall around the corner I can hardly wait to start wearing knits, camel coats, and mukluks. Even in this 93-degree weather today, I chose to wear clothing fit for a cold foggy day. There are so many great lines for fall and winter like Chloe, and my all time favorite Alexander McQueen. Both are very different, and both lines stood out the most to me. Chloe’s first look that came out on the runway was basically a summary for the rest of the line, it is a simple piece that, in my opinion is perfect. All the pieces in this collection are so wearable and elegant, you can probably keep them for a really long time. The McQueen line on the other hand makes me think of royalty because of the gold detailing and the bold colors. It's pretty a mind-blowing, edgy collection that you can look through over and over again and find different details that you hadn’t noticed before. If I ever owned one of the many beautiful dresses from this collection I would have to keep in a glass case.

The Escape

Hi, I’m new here so I have never really thought about blogging until recently. Blogging has always interested me, whether it’s a blog about photography or about books, but the blogs that I usually read, and have bookmarked on my homepage, are fashion blogs that I have been reading for about a year now. To me fashion is like a mood ring that keeps changing colors but eventually goes back to the same color most of the times with a different shade.  What I’m trying to say if that didn’t make sense to you, is that fashion is a cycle that keeps repeating itself with similar trends but differently. Oh and by the way my name is natallie, and I’m thirteen.
