Victoria's Secret Goes Green!

Time flies. School is insane. Work work work no play play play. Plus seven hours of dance a week does not help my situation.
I'm going to try to blog more regularly, but everyone knows what happens when I say that. But I'm really going to try.

So everyone knows about this whole "Go Green!" campaign. With the reusable shopping bags, Kitson tee shirts, and newly recycled products - the campaign has made great progress. However, who would've thought that Victoria's Secret's Pink line would follow the trend? This is definitely a major step for all those going green, one of the most influential lines in the country is making a statement.


PINKThe new line at VS has tons of tee shirts and sweat shirts with this symbol - a recycled heart on it. I think it's adorable and I would wear it in a heartbeat.
Another thing, though not directly linked to the Go Green campaign, is the peace sign. It just flows with the mellowness that is invading our society. I think that this sweatsuit is tres cute. If Victoria's Secret is going to blingify a hoodie and some sweatpants, who wouldn't wear it?
This tee shirt kills two birds with one stone (hate that expression) by blingifying a peace sign made of hearts. A clever idea because it brings together the ideas of peace & love.
Victoria's Secret totes are famous in my school. Everyone uses them to carry around their books. Not only because it's a great fashion statement, but because they match with almost everything. These new ones, above, make some statements of their own. Two with the recycle love from the previous picture, another that says "think pink: go green" and one with a witticism, "save water; share a shower."

I definitely think that this is a huge leap not only for all those involved in going green, but for fashion in general. Let me know what you think!

XOXO, Gossip Girl

Hmmm...a new obsession? Yes, I think so. I love this show - not only for the clothes and the amazinggggg accessories - but also for the reality of it all. Did I ever mention that they were filming GG just outside my sister's Brooklyn apartment? And I saw Nate aka Chace Crawford. Well now I have. It was pretty cool even though it was over the summer just before the show aired. I'm going to try to go to more filmings of the show as soon as the writer's strike is over.

I love Blair's style on the show it's amazing
I love the red tights and how they match her blazer - I also like the Navy shorts and bow belt.
I love love love these red stirrup tights from American Apparel, they're so fabulous and so Blair - and for the small price of $14 I'd say they're worth it.
These shorts aren't exactly what Blair's wearing but they come pretty close. They're from Abercrombie & Fitch for $40 and you don't only have to wear them with the red tights you can wear them in all different ways.
I also loveee this outfit it's so fabulous she looks so effortlessly glamorous it's incredible
Even though this Velvet dress is completely different from Blair's it still gives the same affect and it's 90% less than Blair's dress, at $50 from Nordstrom.
I love these tights, I have similar ones but these are a lot nicer. They're $9 from Forever 21 and they go perfectly with the dress from Nordstrom.

So what do you think? I think I want to go shopping now. I especially love the second look - I wish I was Blair Waldorf!!!

I'm BACK!

Wow I haven't blogged in months! High school is tough, I'm not going to lie. My school was ranked #21 in the country, which I guess can be a good thing, but it just shows how much work school is for me! Anyway I'm going to try to update weekly - don't forget about me!

So yesterday I finally got a new bag


I've been dying for a leather bag, and I saw this one and fell in love. It's Michael Kors, and I loved the color. I picked it up at Nordstrom. Opinions?

Sneakers: Cute or Crazy?

Hola bloggers! My Columbia program finished, and now I'm smooth sailing for another two weeks. I've been obsessing over BP Nordstrom lately, and so I've been looking through all these new sneakers. I couldn't help but to realize how weirdly funky they are. I need an opinion. What does everyone think. Are these normal or weird? Haha. After seeing so many of them I started getting confused about this trend?

Adidas:
These are Adidas "Superstar Sleek" sneakers. I admit, they are pretty cleaned up - but what could you wear them with? Jeans and a white tee shirt?

Converse:
Not only are these platform, but they have this floral thing going on. I don't get it. Prints and patterns are for shirts, maybe even flats. But sneakers? Hmm...

Harajuku Lovers:
These are insane - the army print, the orange laces! Aren't they just too crazy! I'm sooo confused about this trend! Gwen Stefani is known to be a little outrageous, so maybe it's just her own thing? Who knows!!!

Rebel:

I actually like these. They're smooth, and can be worn with lots of things. The toe is blinged out, which can be dressed up or down. I totally put them in my cart!

I need opinions!! Tell me what you think - is this fad hot or not?

My Top Three Items this Fall

I'm superrr duperrr sorry about the whole never posting thing! I was doing my Martha Graham dance intensive, and now I'm doing a program at Columbia University for high school students that is really serious and we get tons of homework. My commute is more than an hour, and by the time I get home I'm pooooped. I'm SO SORRY. I'm trying to get better.

These are my top three items this Fall. Tell me what you think!

1) A Trench Coat
I've been DYING for the perfect trench - a mix of spy, glamour and London chic! A double breasted, long sleeved coat that reaches somewhere in the middle of my thighs - I need to get the perfect one! It's so hard to find, so I've settled for these few...

BCBG:
I like the belt and sleeves, very Fall-esque.

DKNY:
This comes in a champagne color with gold buttons and a brown color - they're both amazing and I wish I could pull this off, but I don't think so.


Victoria's Secret:
This is a very classic trenchcoat, and it's a great price. And being from Victoria's Secret, I'm sure it's great quality!

Tory Burch:
I love this coat, I think it's the best trench in the business. I could buy it for the $500 price tag, but I don't have the guts.

2) Clear Bags
I know that it's a summer thing, so I'm thinking those late August-early September days would be perfect for whipping one of these out! If you don't think you'll use it that much, I still think every girl should have one, so get this $30 one from Dooney & Bourke

Dooney & Bourke
It's the classic Dooney bag, but still so major for those weekends in the Hamptons.

Betseyville
I love this bag because it looks completely clear from a far, but on the actual bag it has details of all different designs like lips, small bags and jewelry!

Michael KorsI absolutely adore this bag. It's not really 100% clear, it has that translucent thing going on - which I LOVE!

3) Buckle Flats
Ever since I saw these FABULOUS BCBG flats in Bloomingdale's, I've been dying for flats with a buckle on them.

BCBG:
These aren't the ones, I couldn't find them online...but they're still tres cute!

Dior:
Oh, the love of fabulous bronze.



I am truly sorry about this whole posting thing, I just get soooo much work for Columbia. If I promised to link you and haven't already done so, please email me at lamadrama@gmail.com! Thanks guys!

OMG? Shoes!

Wow. I'm so sorry about the lack of postage, I suck. I have just been so insanely busy with summer! Taking dance classes, barbeque's, parties with friends and all this crazy stuff!

Basically, I've been addicted to looking at shoes lately. I want like 234,324,549 new pairs. No joke.

From cheap to expensive, from big name designers to no designer at all - I LOVE SHOES!

I've kinda only been looking at two separate styles lately - flats and boots. Maybe later I'll post about other types of shoes.


FLATS


BCBG Max Azria 'Cora' Flat
I'd never get these, since they're $210, but a girl can dream!

Juicy Couture 'Edith' Flat
I've seen SO MANY copies of these shoes, but they're just so gorgeous - who wouldn't want to copy them?

The ever so popular, Tory Burch flats
But I like the quilted patent leather best, I wish they were out earlier!

Metallic Ballet Flats from Urban Outfitters
These are so fabulous - they're the perfect ballet flats with a metallic touch!

Suede Ballet Flats
These are the same from Urban, but in suede. I need both!

DELiA*S Checkered Flats
I absolutely adore these - they can go with anything and spice up any outfit!

BOOTS


Tory Burch 'Uma' Boot
I know someone that has these, but they're $500 so you're going to want to invest. I think they're worth it!

UGG Crochet Boots
I've wanted these since last winter, but they were backordered times ten. I LOVEEEE them!

Urban Outfitters Suede Boots
These are my dream boots, but too bad they're all out of my size!

Be sure to tell me what you think!
