MirroredHeaven

I just bought the most fierce shoes. They are the ACNE Atacoma wedges in black+sliver. The platform is metal and works like a mirror. I am so so so excited for them to arrive in 2-3 weeks. <3 I also bought a green turban. I don't know why but turbans seem so chic and classy right now. I hope they look amazing! <3

What's on your Christmas list?

uh oh… IT"S CHRISTMAS SEASON OFFICIAL!

So I started decorating my room for Christmas at like 3 in the morning! I'm a total Christmas person. I decided to wear my H&M poodle shirt and a leather/faux fur vest. It's just warm and cozy! It's perfect for Christmastime in Chicago! Here's my outfit:

Like it? I just wanted it keep it casual for family time!

Has anyone else started their Christmas decorating? What holiday are you the most excited for?!

Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat!

I know Thanksgiving hasn't arrived yet and we're still in Autumn… but I am SO ready for CHRISTMAS <3! I just love getting to go visit my family and eat yummy food… and gifts… and shopping with Christmas money. I don't know… I just love the anticipation of waking up and having everyone actually be happy. I love watching the sappy lovey dovey Christmas movies and I love watching A Christmas Story every Christmas morning while I wait for my family to wake up.

I also love making my Christmas list. It's the best! It's great to know that you can write something down and receive it (some of the time). 

My favourite Christmas movies are Polar Express, Christmas Story, Elf, Santa Clause is Coming to Town and Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. 

What do you all do for Christmas? What do you expect under the tree? Do you celebrate Christmas?

Changes+Rediscovery

Heyloo
Thanks for reading my blog! There's going to be a lot of pictures posted today+a lot of outfits.

Changes...So I got this adorable bow dress by Lush from Nordstrom's for my graduation. I ended up wearing a bondage dress from BCBG MaxAzria. I absolutely love this dress though. It has a low cut slit in the back, low cut in the front and ruffled details near the bust. The dress is a classic and can be worn tons of ways!

Here's how I wear it:

Jacket from target, shoes from XXI, ribbon from XXI

Shorts from Buffalo Exchange

Purse from AKIRA

Rediscovery… I've had this striped romper from XXI since last Spring but I haven't worn it yet. It didn't fit right and I just hated it. I ordered it online so I had no clue what'd really look like. Well today I found it in my closet at the very back and decided to see if I could make it work. I think I just need to belt it or not button it all the way up. What do you think?

Any ideas?

xoxo,

Shana

Good Afternoon!
Sooo I have another NYR... wear less make up. I wear it like constantly and I think I need to wear a lot less. Caitlin and I are on the phone creating outfits while I am sitting in my room while blasting Lady GaGa. Perfect Sunday! I am starting to take dance lessons, singing lessons and piano lessons... finally. I need to find a talent considering all I do is sit at home on gossip sites. Hmm. Do you think it's possible to suddenly be decent at singing if you are terrible... :/ let's hope. I need to go on a shopping spree because my clothes are currently created from the Rodarte for Target line and AKIRA and Forever21... I mean I guess that is decent, right? Gahhh all I can think about right now is Alice in Wonderland. I am counting down the days...60 more!!! School is back tomorrow so today was spent doing last minute assignments. And Church :P. 
Keep following for my 2009 Playlist... Guaranteed to be posted in 2 hours. 
PS New website being created right now... keep watching these next few weeks for its debut. 


Hint Hint... It's about eco stuff...


FASHION. FASHION. FASHION.
So you all know Rachel Zoe. Well she doesn't know how to spell Marc Jacobs name. Considering he is like one of the most popular designers in the world I am shocked. Nice one, Rachel. 


TRENDS. 
So here's another new thing for my blog. I hope you all enjoy this :) 
The color for this year is TURQUOISE... oooh aaahhh. Celebrities like the gorgey Megan Fox and the original fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker! It was popular last year on accessories but this year you should try wearing it as your main dish... like a marvey One-Shoulder dress! 
Next trend is... (trumpets)... Zippers! Not just on your pants but like on your dresses... I know, I know, it's a hard concept to grasp but trust me it is so rad. :) 


(marvey=marvelous... gorgey=gorgeous...)

STORE AND ITEM OF THE DAY
The store of the day is ModCloth! Oh mah lord it has the cutest stuff there and everything has a vintage influence! They are only online but they are fantastic!
The items of the day is the Heart of Oceans Dress and the Wannabe Heels! There are so many other things from this site but I am trying to stay at 2 items.

11 Days til my Birthday

(January 13th)

Matilda, All-Nighter and Take the Cake Ice Cream!

Hey Hey Hey!
Since it is the final night of winter break I am staying up ALL night! It is going to be... yeah. So if there are any really random posts it's because my brain is slowly shutting down. Right now I am watching Matilda and eating ice cream  while texting my best friend Caitlin! YAY! So I realized how I have a few followers but I want to get that number up! Can you all send this blog to your friends and spread the word?! Thanks in advance!!! I think I am going to start a new thing where I tell you about the store of the day and the items of the day! All items are going to be under $50! Respond or comment if you think this is a good idea! My store of the day is AKIRA. It's amazing and I go there weekly. It is like a higher quality version of Forever21! It's only in Chicago so you have to order items online... but they ship quickly and are TOTALLY worth it!
Here's the link: http://shop.akirachicago.com/


My items of the day is
This sequin slip dress from AKIRA which is $32

HSPT, Test Prep and Lady GaGa

So here's the dealio...
I have my Catholic School Entrance Exam January 9th... which only gives me a week to learn all the crazy math stuff and to improve my vocabulary! *GASP!* I am going to lock myself in my room and play Lady GaGa while I go through my enormous test prep book! FUN SATURDAY RIGHT?! No. I just found a bunch of pictures on my laptop though which has thoroughly distracted me from studying. Here's one you all might like...

So in the fashion world Mariella Burani is slowly dying due to the economy. I guess this just shows that even the fashion world is affected by the same things as us! Oh so I found this SUPER cute dress that reminds me of my favorite outfit from the Barbie Fashion Show... what do you think of it?

First is the Barbie Fashion Show... Second is Notte by Marchesa

Well now I have to go back to studying.

Heaps of Love,

Shana <3

Happy New Year! :)

Hello Blog Readers!


I hope everyone had a fantastic New Year's Eve and that you are all enjoying your New Year Day! So the top headlines for fashion right now have been revolving around plus size models. Well I have some pictures of the spread which is going to be in V magazine!

These are 2 different models! I don't know why but I really hope this changes the way the fashion world looks at people. :)

Last night my friend slept over and we watched a fantastic movie called Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. It has my new love Aaron Johnson in it <3.  My friend also dressed me up as Lady GaGa... sorta. 

Luv you all tons!
