A Little Bit Fabulous.

Honestly, I don't follow runway as closely as I should. I appreciate looks here and there, but it's rare for me to really fall for an entire collection. However, when I came across the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2010 RTW collection on style.com, I fell in love. Frills and lace, ruffles and prints, tough shoes and killer necklaces. What's not to like?

To The Core.

This week marked my second week of taking a step class. My mom has been doing step for fifteen years, and I decided that in the new year it would be a good idea to join her. My (main) resolution this year was to get in shape (I also resolved to be a consistent blogger!) So, step class has been a good start. I'm going twice a week, and the only real issue has been what to wear. (Okay, I was a little fumbly at first, but things are going better, that wasn't a real issue.)

I've taken gym classes in school before, but of course they're is a gym uniform for that. I'm run on the treadmill in my basement before, but it doesn't really matter what I wear down there. I haven't been to a public gym since elementary school, and I had never taken a workout class before. Of course, the age old question of how fashion and practicality should mix for exercising arose.

I picked up a few things to start wearing, and I've taken a fairly simple approach to workout dressing. Lots of v-necks and tight black bottoms. How much fashion do you try to incorporate into exercise clothing? I may be in need of cute sweatbands and sparkly tennis shoes!

Better Find a Niche.

Pillows are some of my favorite things ever. They can instantly transform a bed, and in my opinion, really make a room. I'm always buying new pillows, and my bed is practically overflowing with them.

So, it seemed fitting that my first project with my new/old sewing machine should be making pillows. Fun and (hopefully) easy! I have a few pillows planned, and I got the supplies today. It isn't like I really need any more, but can you ever have too many? I'm thinking that I'll do an Audrey Hepburn pillow (we'll see how this goes) and two cute printed ones.

I'll be sure to share the results!

If you have any fun (easy) sewing projects or pillow ideas, share! I've made some basics (dress, pin cushion, tote bag, pajama pants), but I'm a little rusty.

Dripping In Metal.

I wish I could pile on jewelry like that. I'd happily kiss a giant silver skull in order to be able to.

Can You Feel My Love?

I made the best of my first day back at school after having two weeks off by donning my new boyfriend blazer. It's definitely another one of those pieces that makes you feel just a little more cool. I wore it with a Fifi Lapin tee and was good to go. A tee a jeans would have felt too bare for me, and as much as I love cardigans, that wouldn't have been right either. But a boyfriend blazer instantly pulled my outfit together and got my day off to a good (as good as a first day back from break can be) start.

How do you like to wear boyfriend blazers?

Back Off Baby.

I've always been a big supporter of purses you could hold all your possessions in, but lately I've had an itch for a smaller purse. Not a clutch, but something that has room for just enough things. Alas, I came across this bag at Forever21 and was smitten. I think the little studs are the really the perfect touch, trendy but not too much.

I'm really pleased so far, and it'll go perfectly with the Miss Marc coin purse I (finally) decided to order.

Little Bunny Foo Foo.

I've been anti-graphic tees for a while now, but something seems to have swayed my mind. That something is the world's most stylish bunny, Fifi Lapin.


I mean, how could I resist these? I'm now the (proud) owner of two Fifi Lapin shirts. (The one in the center and the one on the right.)

Paired with my new boyfriend blazer, which is exciting enough in it's own right, these are the perfect whimsical and fun wardrobe addition.
