A nice length, styled great, curly bangs (which seems impossible for me to achieve); curly hair that looks styled and looks good with their overall style. My curls just feel frizzy, limp, and almost verge on dreadlocks. I spotted Ioana on 2nd Ave and chased her down half a block for her picture. I love how effortless she looks, and how great the brown Ecote shoes from Urban Outfitters pop against the black layers of her outfit. But the main reason I wanted to take her photo was how great her hair looked. I am kind of obsessed, in a ridiculous way, with curly haired girls who have really great hair styles.<br />

One day, I want to grow up and be a classy lady that has amazing hair, perfect makeup, amazing back seams and the most perfectly tailored winter wear with a lot of chutzpah who sounds just as confident and in charge as Scarlett O'Hara. For now, I am continent to wear my beat up brogues, torn tights, and bright red lips.<br />
However, back to Jasmin, check out those studded leather gloves! The fascinator hat, the fox fur scarf and studded leather gloves all worn together?? This outfit is insane in the best way, so elegant and fierce at the same time. <br />

Julia traveled all around the country, sometimes by train or by car, and around Europe, living out of a suitcase. Most of her clothes are from the thrift store around the corner from her house and she always, without fail, looks like a beautiful vintage lady that lives in a refurbished barn in the middle of a tall, green forest and drinks wine while she paints. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

The red jeans, chambray button down, leopard print heels, beige buttery leather tote and round John Lennon/1920's sunglasses? Yup, all of that. Combined that I saw her in front of a cute green house and she was just sauntering along to a lunch spot? Check that as well. The thing I really like about this image is that she looks really put together and almost conservative, since she's wearing jeans, heels and a button. However, then you notice that she's wearing leopard print shoes and bright red jeans, and then it becomes a super interesting outfit. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I showed up, and I was super excited since I had seem some of the new Theory, which I had assumed it was Theyskens' Theory. Turns out, it was just normal Theory. There was this amazing sheer collared button down in a photographic glitter explosion print, in addition to leather mini skirts, velvet blazers and sleeveless wool drop waist dresses. </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A lot of these elements, leather, velvet, sheered collared shirts, and drop waist dresses are present in Theyskens' Theory. My theory on Theory, as clever and pun-y as that sounds, is that the success of Theyskens' Theory and the obsessive cult following it has garnered has gotten the attention of the bigwigs at Theory. If adding more of a "Theyskens" edge to normal Theory, while still keeping true to the basics that Theory sells, might add to an increase in sales, then why not do it? This is an idea that I like because, honestly, I have always found Theory useful but boring and staid. If a woman needs a slim cut suit, you go to Theory. If a woman wants a unique piece of clothing, it wasn't going to be Theory, until recently. What Theyskens is doing with contemporary fashion is brilliant or rather that he was hired at Theory is brilliant. Why not try to make basics more interesting and unique while still staying true to the brand? <br />
Why not indeed! </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These photos epitomize what I love about Houston or rather why it will always have a soft spot in my heart. I moved to Bunker Hill, a suburb of Houston but still considered a part of Houston, from New Orleans when I was eight. My mom thought we would only be in Houston for two years, enough time for my dad to set up the Houston office of his work place, and then move back to New Orleans. Two years ended up becoming ten years and then I went off to college. In high school, I dressed like a decora kid from Fruits magazine and I loved punk music. Houston, since it was so big, allowed me to dress any way I want and I didn't have to worry about my mother's friends would say if they saw me, b/c the odds of me running into them across town was slim to none. And since Houston was so large and we were a pretty far drive from Austin, it had a great music scene and all the bands I would like there on tour. Bianca and Sean, in the above photographs, remind me of my friends from high school. Some of them I don't speak to anymore, we fall out or "broke up" in the heartbreaking way that high school friendships end sometimes for one reason or another. Some of my high school friends are like my family and I can't imagine my life without them. Regardless, even though I don't live in Houston anymore, I feel pretty grateful for spending my awkward years there. It was a great place to run around, be exposed to art, to hear music, specially punk music in shitty clubs and go to all ages shows. It was kind of awesome. </span><br />

PS I'm wearing a Harry Potter tee shirt, cut off jeans underneath my pink Betsey Johnson skirt, black and white striped socks and my worn out black converses with bright pink laces that i wrapped around my ankles. I am too cool for words. </span><br />
