high heel heaven

happy sunday fashionistas! i hope your weekends were enjoyable. i got home today from a weekend trip to philadelphia. yep, that's right! patent leather shoes made an appearance in one of america's finest cities. every time i go to philadelphia i am pleasantly surprised by my endeavors. it was nice to enjoy restaurant week there. and the weather was unbelievable, which made walking through the streets even more pleasant.

i sported my navy patent leather pumps to the city, paired with my wide leg trouser jeans by seven, and my short-sleeve white tory burch blouse. also.. i wore my black leather belt. it was a great clashing hit! comfortable for the drive.. and chic for our nice dinner.

if you can believe it, i have never been to king of prussia. yes, the second largest shopping mall in america. i have heard girls gushing over the stores and going on and on about the endless shopping opportunities within this arena of retailers. my girlfriends and i had plans to make a saturday afternoon shopping trip to the mega-center (unfortunately this did not work out.. boo) to buy a pair of heels for my roommate. note.. these would be the only pair of heels she would own. okay, some girls were born in heels (like myself, over here in high heel heaven.. i'm super tall and i still insist on purchasing 4 inch heels) and others favor the flats (which is fine in the summer months, especially at parties on grassy areas).. either way, i think each co-ed needs a bit of assortment. heels and flats to liven things up a bit. i'm very upset this trip didn't go as planned because every girl needs heels.

back to my roommate.. some of my fashionista crazes have rubbed off on her.. i've gotten her to match her hardware, clash colors, and wear a long necklace (it 's fun.. i get to accessorize her night outfits!) now.. once we get her that pair of heels, we will be in 'heaven'.

i am fashion

check it out fashionistas!

it's my claim to fame...

btw... i was not wearing silver flats, i was actually wearing pewter flats. like i have said before, i do not pair silver and gold together.

my legs look kinda short here.. hmm.

wednesday campus inspirations

wednesday campus inspirations.. a weekly post commenting on trends and styles i see on campus. sit back, relax, and enjoy..

and a special thanks to ms. angeline for providing me with my first weekly review!

channeling some retro styles, combined with a touch preppiness, add in a little school spirit.. and you have angeline's fabulous combination of a youth crew neck sweatshirt paired with a pink polo shirt. when i first got to class this afternoon, i commented on her adorable polo.. white and pink stripes.. it was a great top for this warm weathered day!

afterwards, during our walk downtown together we were discussing the awkwardness of fall weather. how the early morning hours are in the freezing cold forties! while the sun shines and heats up campus into the seventies by early afternoon. well.. this combination of cold and warm does not provide for ideal wardrobe options for any fashionista. nobody wants to walk outside in the cold with short sleeves on.. nor does any collegiate fashionista want to lug around a jacket all afternoon when, after all, their outfit was designed around those adorable tory burch buttons showcased on its front (yes.. i am referring to a specific ivory jacket i have from tb.. and my clothing choices are usually channeled around this one piece when i wear it).

so angeline's solution to the problem this morning was to pair a youth crew school sweatshirt (which she got for sale at work.. yay for saving a few bucks!) over her collared shirt. she was able to fold her sweatshirt away by 3 pm and not worry about wrinkles or distracting others from her adorable polo shirt. well.. i must say angeline.. a job well done! this combination was a hit. navy sweatshirt with a pink collar was uber cute. it was preppy, conservative, school spirited, and fashion-risque all at the same time!

while some of you fashionistas may be frowning at the sound of this combination.. please take a second and absorb it. think about the ever popular spin-off.. t-shirts paired with polos underneath. it provides for a preppy sport look. i know i am a fan of these.. especially at football games.

it's been a while since i've paired a crew neck -- sweatshirt or t-shirt -- with a polo.. but thanks to angeline, i have a feeling that i will be thinking up many combinations in my head for the near future.

college boys and their mouths...

so my friend frank and i are here drinking merlot and watching the yankee game, and i'm checking all my bloglines updates and he goes.. "you're such a blog queen"

hahaha.. yayy!!

ps-- he wears argyle socks that are so uber cute!

look how cute frank and i are here... we went to a charity ball together and we're dancing like goofs :)
props on your outfit frank.. any guy with a baby blue shirt and pink tie has a good sense of style
ps-- my dress is a "chetta b" black cocktail dress that my mom sent up from home.

to: metrosexual dads from: fashionista daughters

happy sunday blogosphere! i hope your weekends were enjoyable! well, here i am.. 7:30 sunday night, all caught up on my homework.. sipping a glass of merlot.. and waiting for my veggie burger to finish cooking for dinner.

my daddy came to visit me at school this weekend!! yay for parent visits, because you seriously get the best [free] food!!

i have to say, one great thing about my dad is how well he keeps himself together. he is always dressed to the nines.. and groomed meticulously.

he's also very fashion conscious (minus his futuristic sunglasses that we bicker over constantly).. when we went golfing today he was buying a wind breaker. he couldn't decide between the beige or the navy (which actually looked like black in the store.) so.. he asked for moi's advice.. his personal shopper/collegiate fashionista.

daddy wanted to know which was the better purchase.. since he wears black and tan pants paired with a collection of solid colored shirts. he ended up buying both.. but it was still really cool to offer him my trendy fashion advice for his golf attire. i swear, every time i see my dad i am more and more impressed by the trends he notices.. and the designer jeans that he buys!

so this blog is dedicated to all metrosexual dad's out there.. thanks for making your fashionista daughters proud!!
