There's nothing more relaxing on my day off than listening to music and becoming inspired or lost in deep thought; Today was no different. The Dum Dum Girls 2nd album , Only In Dreams, is an amazing indie pop album and conveys so many emotions as well as kick-ass music. I normally have a thing against filtering my pics, seeing as this is a blog and not Instagram, but it went with the whole, low-fi, garage indie pop, no care attitude. In my opinion, this genre of music has a had an impressive impact of current trends vast across the board, not only pertaining to music, but including movies, fashion, photography, and even food. That's a completely different stream of ideas though...

This collection honestly changed my outlook on fashion and what it means to be sexy and effortless. That lemon-grapefruit print defined spring/summer 2011 as the season of fruitful designs. My Apparel Design final project was inspired by this line (all of the pieces all created are scattered across the country with different friends) and I will never forget it.

Tangerine Tango is the "it" color for 2012.

Tangerine bright and fiery disposition is a great contrast to last years subtle honeysuckle. I personally enjoy the decision as i have a couple tangerine pieces and love them. They stand out with any outfit and they can masquerade as statement pieces without much convincing. Tangerine took over for last fall in a couple of collections and stood its ground in being the color of choice in the form of daring cuts, beautifully crafted pieces, and stunning accessories.

Tangerine has also made its mark on cosmetology. There are lipsticks, eyeshadows, liners, etc glazed with this wonderful shade that adds a hint of dare and personality to anyone's palette. All in all, im ready to see where tangerine takes 2012.

Mala Noche.

After packing for seemed to be hours and hours of relentless dust clouds in my face and rediscovering lost socks and shirts from various place in my dorm room, I took a break and decided to catch up on some Netflix which is fucking heaven sent for the bored and (or) lonely. After scrolling for a  surprisingly short amount of time i came across, Mala Noche, a movie shot in Black and White, 16mm, I think, about a store clerk how has a crush on a mexican immigrant boy who comes around the neighborhood. This movie not only satisfied my pre-established boredom but increased my inspiration in a new moving trend for spring, Black.

This spring Black clothing is in, and its mainly for like a rocker look, but I im inspired for a Black, Americana-grunge style mixture. 2011's take on flannel shirts and different blends of denim. I know this sounds like a homage to 90's, almost like a psychopathic declaration of vengeance for the Kurt Cobain meet Levi's Store movement. No, its not. I only take the images of mixing dark jeans with cowboy boots or any loosely western inspired boots. Modern flannel shirts and Denim Shirts for an updated look, so your not stuck too much in the past. The look this spring, for me at least, is a slight return to the rugged male prostitute look. While the rest of the men's fashion world is indulging in the Polo-esque 50's Americana, I think i'll go the way of the Marlboro-esque 50's Americana. Whats your inspiration?

Amazing Grace.

First off, Happy Mother's Day! Secondly, my birthday was yesterday and I had an absolute ball getting drunk and running around the dorms and crashing into the walls like bumper cars. Extremely fun. Now its time to get busy studying for finals, and I'm in a lazy mood. Finals week is always the worst, mostly because I don't study. For anything. Ever. So when I'm asked to study continuously for hours-- even days-- I tend to put it off until the last moments or just do it right then with an evil aura emanating from me. All this is in reference to me watching "The September Issue" while I was suppose to be studying. I absolutely love that documentary and the behind the scenes grittiness of it. Its about Vogue Magazine, Fashion's foremost influential and recognizable print, and the work and drama that goes into putting a very special issue together, The September issue. After watching I got inspired to go and look up the movie's leadinG protagonist, Grace Coddington.

Now, I'm not saying look up like see what she looks like and see what's occupation , because I've known who the genius was for almost half of my life, And she is beyond amazing. I mean look up, in the sense of study her work and get a feel for what inspires her and her skills at work. If you don't know who the talented Miss Coddington is you are missing out, and if you are in fashion, then you should be killed.
