This Spring . . .

I know that these shows might be old news to some of us but since these clothes were shown for the season we are in now, why not show them off once more?

Anna Sui

When I discovered Anna Sui I was in awe of the playful beauty of each garment. The mix of prints is so bold which gives of an extremely playful feel. I would LOVE to walk in one of her shows. She is definitely on my list.

Oh My Goodness

I am in awe of these shoes. These shoes always pop up into

my dreams. I just can't get them out of my mind!! They are

like elongated gladiator sandals with a circus twist. I LOVE

IT.

Burberry

I have always loved Burberry. The sleek elegance and grace makes each garment breathtakingly beautiful. The pastels are so gorgeous and the draping makes the garments look so comfortable. Another show that I would kill to walk in.

DVF

Oh Diane. I love you. Diane Von Furstenberg is the perfect spring/summer designer. Her Kaftans are AMAZING.When I wear her clothes I feel so powerful and happy! They always remind me of wonderful memories at the beach. Walking in her show would be quite amazing.

Mini Post: Lindsey Wixson

Who is the new fresh face of the modeling industry? Lindsey Wixson is.

Where is she from? Wichita, Kansas that's where!!!

I would have never guessed that the girl I was starring at in my favorite MIU MIU adds was from my very own home town! Debuting at New York Fashion week during the Prada Show in 2009, Lindsey's career has skyrocketed. Now the face of MIU MIU (My biggest dream!) and most talked about "newcomer," she continues to wow people with her stunning features. Her signature "Bee Stung" lips and gap in her teeth help give her that 'it' factor that everyone looks for. And let me tell you, this girl has 'IT'!

I am proud to know that Miss Wixson is from my home town. To know she is 16, going to a local Wichita high school, and now has become one of New York's most talked about models, makes me think maybe I really do have a chance.

I hope I will become as successful as her! Congratulations Lindsey!

Nothing I Have Done Nothing . . .

Where have I been?? Well I am super duper glad you asked!

The past couple of weeks I have been sitting in school doing absolutely nothing. Me, just staring at a blank chalk board thinking to myself 'Rachel, what are you doing? Is there really an important reason why you haven't blogged?' And I would immediately answer myself 'no'. After contemplating for a week of why I have been so boring I decided to take some pictures after school. But guess what happened? I got sick for 3 days. For those three days I was too lazy and tired to get up and try to make myself more visually pleasing.

Soooo that is my reason for not blogging. On the more positive side I have discovered new things to blog about! And have taken many photographs.

Lets pretend like I haven't not blogged for 3 weeks, Okay?

TopShop NYC: Also known as 4 floors of sheer bliss.

The other day I found out TopShop has TWO NEW MAKEUP LINES. I know, I freaked out too. When I found out I almost fell out of my chair.

One line will be the Core Collection and the other will be a Trend Collection. The difference between the two is the Trend Collection will change according to the current season. This will make the products in the Trend Collection limited edition items. This is so exciting!

Both lines consist of lipstick, foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara. . . etc. My favorite pieces of the Core Collection are the lipstick in vintage - $14.00 :
