If there was a fashion time period of which I would adore to be a part of, it would be the 60’s. The colors are bright, eccentric, and most of all powerful. Women of the sixties ventured out in the mini skirt designed by Mary Quant and left the poodle skirts at home. It was a daring time that took a youthful woman willing to take the next step for a fashion revolution.
Mini's even being used in a work day uniform.
Down With Love, a film centered around the 60’s brings out some of the most wonderful attributes the time has to offer.
With Fashion Week among us, it is no surprise that Kate Spade’s Fall 2011 RTW line is nothing short of extraordinary. Mixing punches of color with classical prints of plaid, check, and floral, leave me flourished with happiness and excitement. From neon tights to hot pink gloves, this collection is drawn from a classical time of powerful women on the search for beauty.
In a world filled with metro cards, skinny jeans, and blackberry’s; there is a comfort of knowing that all I have to do is step one foot out the door to feel right at home. The city is full of high expectations, immense amounts of culture, and an unforgiveable impression that will last a lifetime. I have found my days to be consumed with walking up and down avenues drowning with amazement of the different styles and fashions of Manhattan’s residents. You can shop in SoHo with thousands of others, jump on the 6 train and walk up a few avenues and enter an entirely different world of peace and tranquility while strolling by the strawberry fields in Central Park.
Three rules I’ve learned in my first week:
1.Don’t apologize when your bag brushes up against someone in the sardine filled subway.---they will look at you like you are from planet Pluto.
2.Carry cash on you at all times. Whether it’s for an emergency cab ride or pretzel on the street. You’ll wish you had it when you don’t.
3.Make sure you stop every so often just to take in the fact that you live in the most fabulous place on earth.
It’s true what they say with every song ever written about New York. Whether it’s the city that never sleeps or the concrete jungle where dreams are made of; it is filled with fascinating mysteries of people, places, museums, restaurants, shops, etc. It’s truly never ending. So I ask myself who do you want to be in this new found haven? And to be perfectly honest, it is way to grand to choose just one. My list will grow everyday I step outside.
Merry Christmas everyone! I have decided to start 2011's new year's resolution early and start a blog. As most of you know, I am moving to New York in about two weeks and it dawned on me on this wonderful holiday that things are going to be extremely different. While I will still be calling my mom four times a day just to tell her about what I had for lunch, it will be very hard to keep everyone else updated on this exciting adventure I am embarking on. So, I am going to try my hardest to keep this updated with any events, stories and musings that go on in my new start. Photos, links, everything! I hope everyone had a great holiday!
