iTouch or not?

Listening to: Meiko - How Lucky are We?
This might be incredibly lame. But I have yet to get a mp3 player of any sort. And finally going to get one. So I was looking at the ipods on apple.com and I came across the new iTouch. It's just like the I Phone but with out the phone. You can listen to music, take pictures, watch moving and videos just like the regular ipod but you can also go on the internet with Wi-Fi. So I thought it would be amazing if I was shopping or saw someone on the street whose style I admired, I could take a picture and post it on my blog right away. How amazing would that be? Of course it would be expensive it's $300, plus the 20 or 30 dollars a month to pay for Wi-Fi. But I think it's worth it. What do you think?

Latest Inspirations


Listening to: Rilo Kiley - Silver Lining

I have missed blogging a little bit. There was no computer in my presence for a little over a week. But I have kept busy. Homecoming was Saturday, and I actually didn't get any of those dresses I posted below. I got one from forever 21, I know it's not the best quality but it was cute and cheap great for a dress I will only wear two or three times. But I will hopefully post a picture of me in it in a post in the near future. Homecoming was great, I went to dinner at Macaroni Grill with friends 5:00 P.M. and then the dance started at 7:00 P.M.

Moving on. I have two blogs I use for inspiration regularly, Fun Hunter and Moderniteter. Yvan's (from Face Hunter) eye for style is incredible. A lot of photos he takes are little crazy, but then theres a lot of people with unique, quirky, chic style that is still wearable.

My Favorites of the month from Face Hunter:












Favorites of the Month from Moderniteter:









And this months issue of Harper's Baazar and Allure Magazine (it's their annual best of beauty issue) was great. I suggest picking it up.

Homecoming Dress

Homecoming is in about 3 weeks, and I'm not sure what dress to get. I have picked out kind of a lot to choose from. And I just can't decide, so that's were all you other fashionistas come in.

Advice?




Teal Gathered Knit Dress, Forever 21 $18

I know forever 21 might not be the best quality but I can't spend too much money. So this dress would be cute and pretty comfortable which will be nice.



Mod Mini Dress, Forever 21 $23

I love the satin and I love the pattern. And it will be a lot different then what anyone else is wearing, which is kind of what I'm aiming for.



Little Black Dress, Forever 21 $30

I love the little black dress. I would probably wear it with red or purple heals. It would be great, but I don't have the best calves, and that's kind of were the dress would end so I don't know how flattering that will be.



Black Satin Tent Dress, Forever 21 $28

I love this one, It would look so chic with colored tights. So this one is one of my top chooses. But I don't know if I want a tent dress for a dance.


Pink Bubble Mini Dress, Urban Outfitters $58

I love this dress. It is one of my top chooses. But the fabric looks kind of sheer, and I would want to wear black tights under it but it would probably show through. So I don't know.

I would want to wear tights under most these chooses. And I would know what shoes to wear with them. So all I need is to choose which one and what jewelry to go with them. I also saw in the teen vogue issue this month (in the "Shopping Spree" section on page 219) a red satin dress from forever 21. They don't have it on the website yet, but I think that it would be a good choose for homecoming. And if you have any other ideas for dress that will be $60 or under please do tell. Your help will be very very deeply appreciated.

P.S. I'm not done with the post below, so don't worry I'm not just going to forget about it.

DupliKate

Listening to: Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins - Melt Your Heart



Do you know which one is Forever 21, $25 and which one is Kate Moss for Topshop, 150?


Thing is Kate's dress is a copy of a Versace dress she had in the 90's.

But do you think that will stop them from sueing? I dought it.


Truthfully I accually like the Forever 21 dress (Left) the best.
