is decked out with stud and bead embroidery! The metallic paillette ties together the embellishments. Here are some of my favorites from the collection! I just love black jumper with pointed shoulders and the over-the-top embroidered mini dresses!

The lace shoes on the bottom left are gorgeous! She may not be the best designer on the Paris runways, but i still love her designs!

Agyness Deyn

I absolutely love Agyness! She has wonderful style, like can you believe that skirt??? I just love it!! The black tulle mixed with polka dots is to die for!

What a Stud!!

I went shopping today and bought these ADORABLE sandals!! The stud detailing and gladiator style are to die for!! I bought them at Bakers which was having a major sale! Some shoes were only 6 dollars!! What a deal! However these "Bracelet" sandals were full price due to being this current season. Not that that stopped me!

Wearing: Forever 21dress, Anthropology cardigan, black tights, Bakers sandals, and miscellaneous jewelry

Look at all the details!! There are all shapes and sizes of gold studs and jewels!

In a way my sandals remind me of the Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain heels that everyone is lusting for, including me!

INSPIRE

I just adoreee over the top feminine clothing. These outfits are certainly inspiration with that aspect. It's the little details that make the difference in clothing. The way the colors work together with the embellishments and fit to create a masterpiece!!!

Rock it Out

I was feeling a bit Rocker-ish this morning and put together this outfit.

Wearing: Charlotte Russe plaid shirt, Knitted & Knotted from Anthropologie cardigan, faux leather pants, Steve madden short boots, and my mom's old belt.

I am so glad plaid is back and not just the farmers can wear it now! I love it, and this shirt even has big ruffles along the buttons (hard to see in photo) and leather pants are a great accessory! Even if they are squeaky when you walk! lol.

Phoebe Philo is Back!!!

Can u beleive it??? After three years she is finally back in action. One of Paris' great designers, Phoebe previously worked for Chloe but now her debut is with Celine. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with!

Here are some pictures of her previous work with Chloe!

On the runway with the Autumn/Spring collection. She has such a wide range of design ability. Isn't the first photo with the ruffled dress gorg???

Outfit of the Day

I just love how the jacket is asymmetrical!! You can't find many items with this contemporary aspect. The outfit is a little boring but I just had to show you this necklace i found rummaging in my mom's closet! It's big, bold and funkyy!

Wearing: True Religion jeans, Hinge jacket, American Eagle stacked heel, some vintage jewelry.

Here's a close-up of the necklace! There is so much going on with the large beads and center medallion. I can't wait to wear it out!!!

Trash to Treasure

Using a simple white trash bag I was able to create a whimsical dress!!! It is a fitted tube dress with small detailing! I had so much fun putting this together this afternoon and heres a few pictures of it on.

Wearing: DIY dress, black leggings, and Madden Girl silver sandals.

Below is a close-up view of the detailing.

SHOES!!

What is the attraction women have with shoes? It's amazing how much a concept that seems so simple: where shoes to protect your feet, can evolve! Shoes are like an ADDICTION for many! So many varieties: sandals, booties, Pumps, boots, sneakers, etc. I myself love, love, LOVE shoes!

I ABSOLUTELY loveee this pair of sandals! Sold at www.urbanoutfitters.com, these Dulce Vita Dusty Hauraches consist of multi-colored leather straps. Something about the slight heel and minor stiched details makes me fall head-over-heels for these, literally!! ....Ahh ill be dreaming about these tonight...if only i could afford them=/ Well lets hope i can afford them in my dreams! Isn't it weird how some people spend their nights dreaming of scoring the winning goal or falling deeply in love with their dream man, and I'm off in the world of SHOES!

Sweet dreams, Abi

Ice breaker

I have probably been editing this for three hours... Being the perfectionist I am, I had to go through an assortment of colors, fonts, layouts, etc. Although I will probably continue changing it often, I'll leave it like this for some time.

A little bit about me: Well first off my name's Abigail but people call me Abi! I am a sophmore in highschool and play lacrosse. I don't know how I manage to deal with wearing the long black polyester blend skirts everyday during the lacrosse season! Somehow sports and skirts don't fit well. Even with shorts under, I have had my share of embarrassments. Well back on track... I pride myself in my clothes and shop soooo much!!! Half the stuff I want, I know I could never afford, but it inspires me to search for similar items. I am an artist and have won awards after entering some of my work to art gallery competitions. I don't know what I want to be in the future but I am exploring things in the design/artistic world!!

Most of the pictures i post on here were taken by myself so I hope you enjoy!!

Set in Motion

It has always been my DREAM to embark on a fashion career in my future; here is where i take my first steps on doing so!! The idea came to me while I was reading Teen Vogue when I saw an in-depth article on teen blogging. Being so new at this I'm sure it won't be the best at first but I hope to improve on everything soon!!
