Last Minute Loves

We're into the final stretch, folks! Their is only a week until Christmas, and I have just about finished all of my shopping for family and friends. Of course, my gifts to myself were picked out a while ago, but if I had to do it over again I would include some of the beauties below!

Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2013

If I made one mistake today, it was looking at Prabal's pre-fall collection before any others because I have fallen so hard for these gorgeous looks that I couldn't even get myself to look at anything else - I just had to post this right away! The use of prints, along with the colored tweed and well-structured pieces have me in heaven, and if I could get my hands on a pair of those silver trousers I'd be a very happy girl. Can we just focus on the shoes for a second too? I mean, the black and white, with or without added color, are all pairs to desire in general, but I just realized my total neglect of partially green footwear when I saw the boots in the first photo. Looks like I'll be in the market for another pair...

Model Style: Miranda Kerr

Recently, Miranda Kerr has been getting more attention than usual for her killer off-the-runway style that she's been showing off whilst on the New York City streets, so I figured it's a good time to showcase a few of the supermodel's latest looks! Here are just a few from the last three days alone!

(Note: This was worn at an event, so not quite street style, but post-worthy no less)

What do you think? 

Is Miranda's style all it's hyped up to be or is the Aussie beauty a bit overrated?

That Time Of Year

As just about everyone on the face of the earth knows, yesterday was Cyber Monday! I didn't partake in the  money-saving (and spending) extravaganza until last minute, so it was a bit of a stressful attempt at trying to figure out what deals were happening where. So, with my brain being fried due to discount overload, I decided to forget the strategic shopping and went straight to my go-tos instead...the go-tos being ASOS and Urban OG of course (because let's be real, it's totally about quantity for me). Below are the pieces I ordered, which does not include a single knit - the one thing I set out to buy. Oh well, at least I'll be set with cross rings! 

ASOS (clockwise):

Eye Linked Bracelet, Cross Charm Multi Finger Rings, Oasis Patent Lock Work Bag, Engraved Band Rings

Urban OG

Buckle Riding Knee High Boot, Reptile Pants (somebody fire that stylist), Two Tone Lace Up Platform Booties

Hopefully you all took advantage and picked up some pretty things for yourself! 

Long Time No See

Hello lovelies! Please excuse my extended blogging absence. I had no intention of taking a month off but with school and life in general I just could not get myself to keep up with all things fashion and blog-related. However, to make up it up to you, please allow me to now bombard you with pretty photos.

Now, with this little vacation came some extra time to think, and I came to a couple conclusions. First off, I really started having some blog withdrawals. Bad. I honestly didn't think I would but when I thought about whether or not it was even worth updating again I realized their was no way I was ready to call it quits just yet, which brings me to my second thought. The posts from the last couple months just are not cutting it. The effort hasn't been there, and it shows. Mostly this can be attributed to school and all around mental exhaustion, but also I have been bored. Maybe, uninterested is actually a better choice of word. Either way, I couldn't get myself to care, or be excited, or feel inspired. So, as I was thinking over all of this I decided one thing - no more phoning it in. If I'm going to do this, I want it to be something more than a "Quick Fix" posted every other week (though I do love a good "Quick Fix" from time to time). Anyways, I guess my point is that I'm recommitting myself to this blog and I'm excited about it! I fell off for a while but I think that was one of the things getting me down. I need to look at the stunning photography in inspiration posts, and gorgeous editorials, and all the different lust-worthy pieces that I can't help but covet because that's what I love to do and that's what makes me happy.

That was basically the long way of me saying I'm back to blogging, and this time I plan to make it a permanent thing : )

Do It In Furs

It was the battle of the cars vs motorcycles when it came down to picking an editorial to post this time, but Anna Selezneva's more simple and oh-so-Americana editorial in the November issue of Vogue Paris just did not stand a chance against the bikes and fur combo, so  here is Nadja Bender bringing the glam and showing us a whole new type of biker chick in this shoot for the magazine.

Most Wanted

In order to de-stress after midterms this past week (which went extremely well, might I add) I took to the internet to pick out the pieces from a few favorite spots to comprise my dream wardrobe for Fall/Winter, and unsurprisingly, it's textures and prints that are on my mind

Asos

Pixie Market

Topshop

Quick Fix

Magdalena in Zeit

To give you an idea on the lack of posts: It's nearly 4 in the morning now and I'm working on a midterm essay. That pretty much explains what my life is like right now. After Thursday I'll be done with my exams, and it is safe to say I'm counting down the minutes to when this is all over and finished! A celebratory night (or weekend) will definitely be in order, but until then it is strictly business, so enjoy the fashion world without me and I'll be back to blogging next week!

Runway Roundup: PFW Spring 2013

Lanvin

Lanvin consistently puts on stunners, and their was no exception to be found this time! Really, not a flaw. Their spring showing featured gorgeous embellished jumpsuits, all leather looks, and of course the pops of color at the end for the mostly all black collection came from the structured dresses that Mr. Elbaz is known for. Plus, we got to see Kasia rock that black one-piece like no other!

Dior

As usual, well-structured and feminine looks made it down the runway at Dior. However, I will have to admit to not being sold on everything this time (a section of three dresses came down that were just too reminiscent of an 80's prom), still the floral printed skirts and pleated coat dresses made up for all that.

Balmain

It was all about structured shoulders, raffia dresses, and leather pieces (it is Balmain after all). The collection was all very late 80s - early 90s, which in my opinion, did not necessarily work everywhere, but when it was good...it was really good. Plus, I love a good cage sandal, so Balmain got me again this time.

Chalayan

 Chalayan this season had sleek designs and well structured pieces. The looks were simple in the best way possible - the way that it makes you appreciate the craftsmanship of the clothes. The majority of the collection was white, with a few pops of color here and there, until the end when a section filled with graphic prints arrived that was very much welcomed. Chalayan honestly is not always one of my favorites, but this collection was just too beautiful to pass up.
