seems to be a pattern here and on and on you have to give again and again

I like looking at interior designs/decorations just as much as I like looking at clothes and food. I am so excited to finally be able to decorate my own place someday, with all MY ideas and with MY tastes. These are some interiors I am currently loving. I think I sense a pattern here. Apparently I love stark white walls, ceilings, floors.. everything! And lots of open space. My "dream home" would be simple and luxurious, and yet still homey. It doesn't have to be big, just well decorated. It's about quality not quantity.

I love putting together "inspiration boards" (this isn't a real one per say which is why I put it in quotes). Inspiration boards help me see patterns and trends and my current preferences. They give me some insight to my mood and attitude and help me understand myself better. Is that weird? Probably...

On a side note: a great site I visit to admire interiors is Anthropologie home. They do SUCH an incredible job putting together rooms. I would live in any room they've ever decorated. They also have great furniture and let me just say I am obsessed with Anthro mirrors. One of my coworkers got me hooked on their mirrors after she bought one for herself. This one is pulling at my heartstrings, but it would also break my bank so I just have to look for now.

an ideal space to call my own

What I would give to be able to hang out in a place this uncluttered, clean, and just, simply pretty! I'd even love to work in a place like this, I'd be a lowly intern grabbing coffee for whoever wants some, running errands, picking up dry cleaning, you know, the usual. Ah, someday I am going to decorate my house just like this. All white with simple fixtures and simple decoration.

frilly.

I am girly. Very very girly. One of my coworkers today mentioned how everything I wanted was so girly. I can't help it, I love being a girl and I love playing that up. The more ruffles, tulle, and lace the better! Here is a editorial I am loving currently. Especially girly.

oh karl lagerfeld how i love thee.

side note: This girl ^^ needs a Big Mac meal. The one thing that really bothers me about the fashion industry is THIS.. :(



Looking through my Italian Vogue "free gift" of the SS10 fashion show guide for the billionth time (it's already about to fall apart), I decided that I just HAD to do a post about Karl Lagerfeld's amaze-za-zing collection. I am just swooning over all the black/white combos. It's my fav, as seen here. The stark contrast of black and white is just so appealing to my eye. It's also why my wardrobe is almost entirely black and white (with shades of gray). Karl also threw in some orange! Ahhh that brings me back to highschool days and our school colors of orange and black. One time at an away game the other school made fun of us "Last time I checked it wasn't Halloween" YEAH. Real original kids, we've never heard that one before...

Aquilano.Rimondi

So recently I fell in love with Aquilano.Rimondi and when I say fell in love I mean fell in luuuuuuhve. The other day I bought Italian Vogue, because it came with a "free gift" of the SS10 runway guide. And this thing had EVERY. SINGLE. FASHION. SHOW. imaginable! From Badgley Mischka to Hermes to Alexander McQueen (whom I also loved) and Blumarine. Everyone who's someone in the fashion world. Even though it cost $15 I couldn't pass it up. And I'm so glad I didn't. Because I found Aquilano.Rimondi and I wanted every thing in the collection. They had the cutest cut cocktail dresses. And they were all the perfect length: mini!!!! If I was famous and had to go on a tour for the Premieres of my amazing new movie (I'd be in a blockbuster like Avatar) I would wear one of these dresses to every premiere.


PS. My textile science teacher told me a funny joke the other day: Boys are just like parking spaces, all the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped. HAHAHA. He's so cute and cracks jokes all class. I think I'm gonna love this class.

long distance inspiration

More like time capsule inspiration.. While cleaning my room and finally discovering what lived under my bed I found my "inspiration" binder from the summa of 08. I posted a pic of the cover down thurr in the previous post but I loved it so much I had to have a post devoted to the innards. And there were a lot of innards. I must have had so much extra free time 2 years ago...


The first page. A couple of random pics. But all I see is Leighton's hair!!! I loved it then and I love it now, funny how 2 years later I'm still in love with her hair.






THOSE CHANEL TIGHTS!



I think I liked the draping and wrapping of this top. Eh not so much in love with it now but 18 year old Sonja loved it. I guess.




I abso-frickin-lutely adored this spread, as in I was probably literally drooling on the pages. All the outfits were school girl inspired. Very Blair Waldorf.



Monochrome. Neutral. Nice.



Blazer + miniskirt. Still in. Pretty sure we have a mannequin at bop wearing a black blazer with a champagne color miniskirt.


Shoessssss. Lacy/nude + black was obviously the theme I was going with here.



A purple/pink inspired collage. When I first started this thing it began with collages. That I spent hours on every night. Hello? Where was my social life?!



Collage revolving around that Ralph Lauren ad. Ooooh and that Gucci model! I forgot that this was the season they did the white makeup on the models and all those fringed scarves!



Tropical vacation inspired collage. With lots of wooden detailing.



The back cover of my little binder, aka my second favorite picture at the time I made this. I love how I wrote the prices on this. The jacket is 2 thousand something, the skirt is 1 thousand something and the shoes are around $800. It's all Moschino, if you wanted to pone up four grand for this outfit, or just in case you were wondering..
