We're Back!

As our previous post mentioned, we were up in Quebec freezing our arses off on a grade trip. I'm not usually one to sacrifice fashion for practicality, but I had to rock the oompa-loompa look to keep from turning into an icicle. Don't let Rebecca's lack of oompa-loompa jacket mislead you- she had, of course, many layers under there. We visited the old Quebec City, which was gorgeous...it looks like a mini Paris! We also went on a hike (as seen in the pictures above) and went snow tubing at night. I loved how  the French-ness of Quebec made us feel like we were in a completely foreign place, although we really were not that far from home. J'adore Quebec! 

Photo Diary of the trip to come!

si longtemps et adieu

In Google translate that means so long and farewell.

We are sorry to say, we are leaving you.

PSYCH, we're not going anywhere!

Just kidding, we're actually going to Nowhere, Canada for the weekend- 

but we'll be back next week with outfit posts a'plenty!

MISS YOU <3 <3 <3 !!!!

Denim n' Prints

(Photo Creds: Rebecca)

I've begun to feel naked only wearing one layer, and I've been really loving the denim-peeking-out-from-under-printed shirt look lately. Its a good way to add a pop of color to a look and to keep warm. Another mini photo shoot taken fooling around during a free period. Cue the charity box being used as a clutch.

Bombay Meets Paris

The Chanel pre-Fall 2012 show was by far one of my favorites. I loved the way the Indian theme was extravagantly portrayed with the set up of the runway and of course, the clothes. The long, winding runway of white banquets together with the clothes that payed homage to such a rich culture was stunning. Here are some of my favorites.

 I really liked that the color palette and style stayed true to the traditional inspiration but also mixed with classic French touches to create a luxurious collection. What's even more exquisite is that Karl Lagerfeld was able to put this collection together without having ever gone to India. “It’s much more inspiring not to go to places than to go," he says.

After reading a short description about this line and seeing a few pictures, I immediately thought of a quote from the late Alexander McQueen- "Fashion can be really racist, looking at the clothing of other cultures as costumes... That's mundane and it's old hat. Let's break down some barriers".
I believe that Karl Lagerfeld definitely paid respect to Indian dress here. He beautifully fused the Indian tradition of dressing with the timeless Chanel style to create garments that harmoniously represent the two.

Pictures with Captions

On Thanksgiving Day (before my and Leetals encounter with aliens) my friend Sarah and I went out for a few hours to work up our appetites before our feast. We took a lot of pictures...

...and I took the liberty of captioning them.

I bought this sweater from Zara in the summer, and I just couldn't figure out how to wear it. That is, until I saw Aimee Song's post wearing the same sweater with plaid pants (songofstyle). But since I don't own red plaid pants, I went with the button down instead. These pictures were taken in the school's "secret" dance room, although it's not so secret since everyone goes up there to make their mark on the school. I thought the graffiti on the wall would compliment the different prints of my outfit nicely.
