Winter is here!

And you know what that means. IT'S EFFIN' COLD. But there are perks to cold weather. For example, epic snowball fights, hot chocolate, and a warm fireplace. And then there are miserable things about cold weather, such as blizzards. Like the day-after-Christmas blizzard of 2010. The one I got stuck in while driving through New Jersey (which is the pits). But I'm going to use my winter experience as an excuse to share this cute illustration by Lauren Bishop. I discovered her years ago, and often find myself wandering to her website to check out new fabulous works of art.

(disclaimer: the snowstorm I got stuck in looked nothing like this. But we can pretend.)

I love checking out independent fashion illustrators. Seeing the different styles and techniques of the individual artist really inspires me. Lauren Bishop definitely exhibits a certain grace with a somewhat retro flair in her work that I am drawn to, and her use of colors, prints, and space is exquisite and consistent. Each drawing has such an intense personality. I especially like the elegant lady shown above, and she was the perfect image of the romantic winter. The coat print kinda reminds me of a winter storm, but it's contained within the silhouette, and therefore becomes elegant and beautiful. Perhaps I am merely overanalyzing... but Lauren Bishop is definitely worth checking out. You can view her website here: www.laurenbishopillustration.co.uk

PS- anytime you're feeling down, think about a box of kittens~

Goodbye to autumn...

The warm weather has LONG since gone, and winter is already announcing its arrival. Up here in the good 'ole northeast, it feels like fall lasted an entire 2 weeks before it skipped town. But don't let the cold keep you from having a good time! All over the city, shops and markets are preparing for the holiday season. I've already found some neat places to go and exciting things to do for some old fashioned winter fun!

1. FREE-ICE SKATING!
You remember Bryant park? The Southwest porch, the fountain, and a huge field of grass for picnics, movie showings, and massive yoga sessions? Since chilly weather rolled in, the park has been completely transformed into a holiday wonderland! A huge ice-skating rink has been set up and the entire facility has been set up as a picturesque winter getaway, with spruce trees, a bar and lounge, gift shops, and old-school holiday music. A relaxing, yet fun experience.


2. HOT CHOCOLATE!
Nothing beats hot chocolate when its cold outside. It'll warm your hands and your insides as soon as you take the first sip. But you can't just drink any old swiss miss this season. Hop over to Chocolate by the Bald Man and sample Max Brenner's version of the perfect hot chocolate, chocolate shots, or any kind of chocolate, because it's all DELICIOUS. You can get a cup of their creamy, real hot chocolate at their restaurant in Union square, or at their booth at Bryant park.


3. Holiday Markets!
You know you need to get that Christmas shopping done, but you don't want to get your family and friends any old gift. Check out some of the Holiday Markets that have popped up around New York City. There are the shops littered around the skating rink at Bryant park, as well as a in a few other well known places, such as Union square, Columbus circle, even Grand Central Station! So no matter what part of Manhattan you're in, some good shopping is right around the corner! Check one out!

Nick and Norma's Infinite Wellness!

When you push yourself to write every day, it starts to become difficult to think of good topics. So my writing yesterday consisted of notebook thoughts/word vomit. How Romantic...
But yesterday I discovered the delights of Norma Kamali's Wellness Cafe, located in her retail store in Midtown Manhattan. My purpose there was not to experience the cafe, but during my wait I was offered a warm sample of her organic green tea. I have to say, it was QUITE delicious.

The idea behind Norma Kamali's Wellness Cafe is based on the health properties of olive oil.

Olive oil is a healthy unsaturated fat that contains high amounts of antioxidants and vitamins. I'm not an expert on nutrition, so you can view a more detailed description of olive oil's health benefits here. --> http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/olive-oil.htm

So anyways. Back to the tea. Lucky for me it was a free sample, because a pack of the tea herbs costs about $15. It might be financially better to go to the drugstore and pick up a box of Celestial Seasonings Herbal tea for 2 bucks. MMMMM tea! <3
Next week will be the arrival of a new type of organic tea for the Wellness Cafe... Oolong! I might actually have to splurge and get some, because oolong tea is amazing. And, you know, the weather is getting colder, and a cup of hot tea is perfect for staying warm and healthy.

Letter to my Notebook

Dearest Notebook,

Your crisp pages have seduced me. Lined paper can be so ruggedly pure, so painfully innocent. May you never abandon me, for your tangible existence drives my heart to lusting. You are the best listener, the warmest comfort, and the most compromised entity I know. For you were once a thing so strong and immovable, and now you've been reduced to being malleable and thin, forced to bear the burden of knowledge and emotions. Notebook, though you may be brittle, you are under no circumstance unloved.

Lanvin for H&M

Watched this video on Anna Dello Russo's blog. It made me happy, so I decided to share.

Chicken Fingers!

So it's Day 3 of my 'write every day' promise, and I have already failed! It's true, I didn't write a darn thing yesterday. BUT, I did spend some time in the city with an awesome friend of mine. :)

A Regular Adventure with Shantay:
1. FOOD. Preferrably with lots of grease. Like Chinese. Or McDonald's.
2. People-watching. Such as rating each wipe-out on the ice skating rink.
3. Loitering at every Duane Reade/Walgreens/CVS or Rite Aid we happen to come across.
4. "Shopping" -As in going into stores and shops and thinking about buying things but usually not. Or if we do buy something, its always awesome. Like Hot Chocolate and new notebooks!
5. Hand to Forehead.
6. Dr. Pepper pit stops.
7. Hoakie New York souvenir shops and laughing at misspelled T-shirts and inappropriate gag gifts.
8. Getting mistaken for lesbian lovers? What?
9. Random picture taking/Photo Booths/Disposable Cameras ARE THE BEST.
10. Making friends in unsuspecting places. :)

But I digress. I really wanted to share my fantastic find at a local street festival the other day.


Yes, that is me, hardcore cheesin'. BE HAPPY!

Chicken Gloves! They are super wonderful wool-knit mittens with a polyester fleece interior to keep my digits toasty warm! And they look like chickens. YES.
Also featured in this photo: I got new specs! Lucky for me, my mom works for my eye doctor, so I scored myself a pair of Armani eye glasses for wholesale price. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT. I've had glasses since 6th grade, but I never actually wore them on a regular basis. But these glasses are sexy designer goodness, so I think that should be considered incentive.

Well, since I didn't write anything yesterday, I think I'll write twice as much today. Oh, sweet paper notebook, how I've missed thee~

10 Things

As I was browsing through some other blogs, I saw that Flashes of Style had created this list, and was challenging others to do the same. So I thought, why not?

10 Things that make me happy.

1. Getting flirty sweet text messages from the one I love.

2. Shopping for the cutest shoes and finding the last pair in my size.

3. Splashing through puddles without my feet getting wet.

5. Random things. Like pineapples.

6. Sketching to some awesome music.

7. Eclectic yet beautiful fashion editorials.

8. Falling in love with something that I created.

9. Doing something to make the person dearest to me happy.

10. This incredibly adorable dragon ring on Etsy.com! MUST HAVE.

A Coming-of-Age Tale

Foxfire (1996)
Cast: Angelina Jolie, Hedy Burress, Jenny Shimizu, etc.

I decided to watch this movie on a whim. I wasn't sure what to expect, but despite a few moments of predictability, I was blown away. It's a classic depiction of 90's teenage angst and a world before cell phones and parental paranoia. The characters gain a sense of freedom, confidence, and audacity through the strength of their friendship.

One of my favorite things about the movie is Angelina Jolie's character, 'Legs', and her complete lack of inhibition. She's the ultimate badass. I found this screencap (via Google) of her tattooing Hedy Burress, an incredibly intimate scene, and probably one of my favorites.



As each girl is branded with the symbol of fire to "commemorate" their adventures, Mazzy Star's "Into Dust" makes the perfect musical accompaniment.

Goldie: "Wow, this is great! Buttinger is such a Fuck!"

I'm going to try to make a point to write every day. It might not be on a public blogging site, but writing is a good way to keep the mind fresh and the creative juices flowing. I actually started this post weeks ago, but never got around to completing it, not being able to find the words to say to describe the basic feelings in my head. So, in short, I wanted to say that Marc Jacobs is my hero and the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2011 collection is beautiful. Instead of struggling to go into painstaking detail on all of the individual elements that make it whole, I'm just going to say I love it. The colors, the textiles, the silhouettes, they are all ingeniously styled and constructed. Here is where I have compiled a few of my favorite looks.





The open tops with the frog clasps are my favorite things about the collection. They have completely seduced me. They just look so easy, and I don't mean in a vulgar way. It's the simplest of garments, yet worn in a way that really flatters these lovely ladies. I'm in love.

The hot pants, on the other hand, I'm not too crazy about, but I can acknowledge their importance to the collection. Of course, the last look posted here has a rather awkward "tuft" in a rather suggestive place. Need I say more? >_>

Continuing on. I'm going to try to write every day. May it be a blog post, a poem, or a collection of my thoughts, words shall be my muse. And maybe I'll share a bit of it, too.

Fashion Week 2010. A few thoughts...

I decided to share Vassilios Kostetsos' Spring/Summer 2011 collection for a few reasons. One, that I was privileged enough to be present, Two, that I honestly didn't care too much for the collection at first, which leads me to reason Three: it surprised me. I realized that even though this collection is in now way at all wearable, (I mean, it's fashion week, how many actually are?) it is definitely full of drama and glamor. After watching it backstage and then seeing it on the bigscreen a few more times, I came to see an underlying notion I hadn't noticed before. Of course, I could be way off base here, but this collection, even the designer, is very focused on the glamorous idea of fashion. The idea of fashion being fabulous and beautiful and dramatic all the time is purely fantasy. Many people fail to acknowledge the less-than-wonderful aspects of fashion: Haute Couture is disappearing, and WalMart and Forever21 are banking on private label designs. This was not a million dollar collection. It may have cost that much, but that money is not coming back. Hopefully Kostetsos has a perfume or accessory line to fund his over the top line, but I will say that as a show, this collection was a success.

Well, Kostetsos could either be brilliant, or delirious. Maybe this is the only fashion he sees, and everyone who disagrees can suck it!

P.S. You can totally see me in the background at precisely 29seconds. WHAT. xD

A little bit of boredom + a closet full of accessories = my little shoe ensemble here.


Here I paired my strappy little Calvin Kleins with a stripey pair of socks, and topped them off with cozy brown legwarmers. It was actually quite comfortable. And you can also see a display of my disgusting ugly wallpaper from the year 1963. (Maybe that's exaggerating) But I like this ensemble because of the variety of hues and textures. It's playful and eccentric.

This might be an interesting photo story. A cacophony of feet.

Networking is Notworking.

Hello to all who happen to stumble across this blog. There has been a serious lack of posting as of late. It depresses me. Which it should. Because my life was so exciting that I had no time to write! Alas... my internships and freelance work have all ended, so I'm back to the drawing board.

In short: I need a job.

But I can't complain! New York Fashion Week turned out to be one of the most amazing experiences I've had since coming to New York. I was given the opportunity to work backstage at Alexander Berardi, and I was able to get backstage on several other shows just because I was escorting a young teenage model. Words cannot describe the amazingness. Here I am, some nobody, breathing the same air as Christian Siriano, Vivienne Tam, Victoria Beckham (who even said hi to me)... THESE THINGS DON'T HAPPEN TO PEOPLE LIKE ME. And yet they did. So maybe... just maybe I'm meant for bigger things. I refuse to accept that my moment is over. This is the beginning.

A teaser from Christian Siriano

ooooh SHINY!

What are you inspired by?

I love walking the streets of New York and window-shopping. There's a lot of ideas lurking behind polished glass, twinkling at you in all its glory. I especially enjoy fabric and trim stores. The funny displays in the windows, some of them where they just drape funky textiles over a mannequin, set my creative juices flowing. (haha)

But there are so many things to get inspired by. Magazines, catalogues, advertisements, blogs, and of course the ever-so-wonderful internetz. One of my favorite things is street-style. If you pay attention to what people are wearing, you'll see some really interesting things. (And sometimes, that means interesting in a bad way. But not always!)

I just try to absorb everything I see. I rely on visuals so much, but a picture can be enhanced with sound. The runway is enhanced with music. A dress enhanced with texture... All of these sensations! Sigh.

Sidewalk Catwalk #1 Donna Karan

This summer, strutting down Broadway is a series of artistic displays created by many well-known New York designers and artists. As much as I would LOVE to share them all, there are quite a few of them, and that would take a considerable amount of time. xD

But today I decided to snap a quick pic of Donna Karan's piece, a nifty little ensemble that I would wear in a heartbeat if it weren't already occupied... sigh.





There are several HUGE designers among Donna Karan who contributed to the art, including Nanette Lepore, Diane Von Furstenburg, Tommy Hilfiger, Betsey Johnson, (AHH SO MANY) just to name a few! Not to mention how amazing it is to walk down Broadway, enjoying the sights of New York and these unique and sometimes unusual creations.

Love <3

Le Intern

So being an intern has turned out to be incredibly stressful and rewarding. I finished embellishing a fabulously cute dress, and was complimented on my work! Even though I ended up having to redo part of it so I could add a few more beads, the finished product was very satisfying! All in a days work! But that wasn't the best part of my day. Because at approximately 9:47 this morning, I was waiting to cross 39th street, when I happened to notice a man in a pin-striped suit standing nearby. This man happened to turn to his right, when a shocking realization hit me. I was standing within 3 feet of the iconic TIM GUNN.

And I didn't say a word.

That's right. I simply stared around me, wondering if anyone else was seeing what I was. Unfortunately, there were only a few old people milling around, and no doubt they didn't even recognize him. But boy, did I recognize him. I practically had a heart attack there on the sidewalk. Butterflies beat against the inside of my torso with baseball bats. And yet, the little light man blinked to life on the crosswalk sign, and Tim Gunn strolled down the sidewalk, stopping to ponder a small newspaper stand on the corner. I kept going, stepping within feet of this man, and too afraid to just say hello.

But that sounds depressing. It was a GOOD experience, I promise! I'm just still kicking myself for being so... me. hahaha. I didn't want to seem like a creeper, even though Tim Gunn is a good man, someone I greatly respect, and probably wouldn't have been bothered at all.

But no worries. I spend 5 days a week wandering the fashion district of New York City.

I may get a second chance.

Waif

Just a quick post. It's resort season, and the nineties haven't quite disappeared yet. In fact, there are quite a few subtle grunge-y influences appearing here and there, such as in The Row, where each model is sporting a pair of flat black loafers. Casual? Methinks so. Every collection is different of course, but there are many who exhibit these tiny tastes of waif goodness.


featured: The Row, Burberry Prorsum, Marc by Marc Jacobs

I especially love the Burberry look, the nude color of the dress looks so transparent, I feel like tuning into some Nirvana and Alanis Morissette.

And of course, Marc Jacobs, who cashed in on the grunge look when it was big, and became an American fashion icon. To have a cute little white dress paired with an unremarkable black hoodie, you'd think the girl didn't even care.

Perfect.

To design, or not to design

Apologies. I have neglected my blog as of late. But, to anyone interested, I have successfully relocated to New York City, and am currently interning under La ROK. Today was my fourth day working, and it has been FANTASTIC. Our tiny little office shares a floor with many other lines, including Elizabeth and James, and Steve Madden. We even have a chic little showroom.
Plus, I admit it was very exciting to see Mary Kate and Ashley walk within feet of us lowly little interns. =D

I love the city.

ROOTS

So, I have returned to my roots, and changed my blog title... again.

But no worries. I have decided to just be the Poptart Bandit from now on. 'Tis me, and nobody else. So, this will not only be a fashion blog, but a music, art, and fanciful blog of loveliness.

Innocent Seduction?

So! I still haven't decided on how to change my blog layout, etc.
But when I do figure it out, it will be EPIC. =]

Meanwhile, here is a nifty photograph by the famous fashion photographer James Hickey.



It reminds me of bubblegum and cotton candy.
I could go for some watermelon flavored Bubblicious right about now...

Music #1

I wanted to share this video and its adorableness today. It always puts me in a good mood. A thanks to J. Denson for sharing it with me! =]

It's quite a stretch...

The purpose of this post is to share a lovely impulse buy!

It's my $8 flower stretch ring from Payless! Random, I know, to walk into a shoe store and leave with only a ring. But, it spoke to my heart and therefore now rests on my finger.



I have lately become quite intrigued with these gawdy, sparkly rings.

Yearning for something a bit more valuable? Check out these Chachabella friendship rings, made with Swarovski crystals and pearls. Only $67...



I'm in love. They feel like the perfect blend between chunky, eccentric, and feminine, not too big, but definitely not small. Not to mention, chunky cocktail rings have become quite a trend this season...

For those of you who are interested, here are a few other flower ring picks.


Featured: Charlotte Russe (left), Forever 21 (right)

And! My designer pick for the day... Juicy Couture~


Sparkle Flower Ring.

There were so many awesome rings to choose from, but I decided to stick with flowers in order to narrow it down... whew~
Forever 21 also had some super cute bow rings, and even animal rings too. Alas... perhaps I can share some more finds next time. :)

I like/love/hate

This is from Cassie's Therapy Video, my own version.
I got the idea from The Little Blog of Happiness. ^^

Abracadabra, Wow!

I hate being cold
I hate running out of eggs when I want a bowl of ramen

I hate irrational fears
I hate being insecure, it's not the same as being humble
I hate when innocent beings suffer due to others' ignorance

Feel free to fill out your own!

Doodles~

I wonder if you're one of those kindred spirits that has more doodles and rambles in the margin of your school notes than actual information. I definitely am. And this doodley~ habit of mine has inspired me to... REVAMP MY BLOG!

I know it isn't the most beautiful or interesting blog on the planet. But I think it needs to be more reflective of who I am, and what I like. Which is a lot, but I think I can narrow it down to some of my favorite things.

So, from here on, I will try not to be neglectful. And I hope to make some interesting changes as well. I've got to brush up on my code... haha.

In the meantime, here is this wonderful comic!
Written by yours truly ~



Disclaimer: Purely for entertainment only, does not reflect anything from real life. ;D
p.s. I'm not stereotyping either. hehe

As Dr. Ahn would say...

DONE!

I have successfully completed the last final exam I will (hopefully) ever have to take. And now the hard part... transitioning from this Po-dunk town to the big apple... so excited!

I am definitely a city girl. Chaos is my life.

So if you're interested in seeing some amazing, chaotic, and colorful fashion photography, check out Iain Crawford. I found these photos of his featured on THECOOLIST.







They are truly beautiful, exploring unusual poses and media, including giant splashes of paint.
I feel like they represent a piece of my soul, in a way.

Give me chaos, give me color, give me NOISE.

Another day, another Dolce and Gabbana

So finals are coming up. This is the big one, since you know, I'm supposed to graduate and all. But seeing as I'm super-struggling with life right now, that might not happen. Hence the lack of posting the last couple days.

But hey! We must take pleasure in the small things, like this scandelous D&G advertisement. Well, to be honest, compared to many, this particular ad is quite tame. But I like the naked french lady surrounded by sexy romantic men.

Anyhoo.

Now, I have to focus on not surging a hole into my final project for my design class. Because thats a pretty major set back. Especially since it's due at 2pm.

Folly.

Oh, Karl.

I found this photo by Karl Lagerfeld and was swept away to a fantasy land where fashion is life, life is art, and art is expression.

I can't wait to leave this place...

Happy Earth Day!

"Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth." ~Henry David Thoreau

I figured since it was Earth Day, I should post something about being green! For those of you who are interested in crafty things, such as knitting and crocheting, I would like to make a recommendation. Caron's Simply Soft Eco Yarn is made from 20% recycled plastic bottles and so far has kept almost 2 million plastic bottles out of our landfills.



I have used this yarn myself in an attempt to make a scarf... I never finished, BUT don't let my procrastination stop you... I highly recommend this yarn! It's very soft, and it contributes to creating a greener earth. That, and it comes in some amazing colors! You can buy it at Walmart, or any craft store.

Do it. =]

Bubble Gum

Just kidding. =]

I stumbled across the 2010 Spring Collections for Bergdorf Goodman, and was truly inspired by the photographs. I wanted to share a few of my favorites here.

First, we have a few more dramatic photos. I really love how they took the organic elements of the garments themselves and paired them with natural surroundings that reflect the shapes and prints of the dresses.


Dress by Thakoon


Dress by Emilio Pucci

I also wanted to share these two handbag shots, because I love their quirky personality.


Bag by Bottega Veneta


Bag by Chanel

The little rabbit makes me really happy! Haha.

Well, I wish I could post every picture from the shoot, but alas... that would be overwhelming.

If you want to see more from the Spring 2010 Collections magazine, check out their website!

Maybe you will be inspired.

I HEART NEW YORK!!!

I haven't updated in a while, but I have to write a post about my amazing experience in New York Cityy!!! It pretty much went like this. I found out I had an interview for Thursday on Monday, scheduled two more interviews for Thursday and Friday, booked train tickets Tuesday, and hauled a$$ to New York Wednesday! Unfortunately I had to come back on Saturday. Sad... =[

So, I now have an internship! I won't tell you who its with until the final decision has been made... tee hee! ;D

So I've started a tradition that everytime I go to New York, I buy something from H&M (which has only happened twice, but hey, traditions have to start somewhere). This time I splurged a whopping $13 on a striped T-shirt dress!

Here are some pics. Enjoy!



This is me in Central Park! In a tree! And if you're paying attention, you'll notice that I'm wearing my white vintage boots. =]

(p.s.- I'm also wearing my boyfriend's hoodie and jeans. It was cold, hahaha)



Central Park was beautiful...



And last but not least, I would like to give a shout-out to my awesome friend Jaylynne, who spent Friday exploring Manhattan with me!!



Oh, what debauchery shall thus proceed...

So the day was spent popping up around SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown, East Village, Central Park, and Times Square! It's a beautiful (in its own special way) and amazing city. I intend to move there promptly after Graduation... I can't wait! I'll possibly be a Brooklyn Babe... ;D

Anyways. The city is truly inspiring, for the people, the places, and simply the fact that you'll see just about anything and it not be out of the ordinary.

It will soon be my home <3

El Fin.

Internships... GAHH!

So, I just applied to some more internships. I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my mind very soon...

But good news! I received an email from one of the Marc Jacobs internships I applied to!
I'm hoping this means they reviewed my resume and portfolio!

In the meantime, I also applied to Cynthia Steffe, and upon browsing a few pieces of her line, I came across the 'Sam' ruffled dress, which I really like.



I really like the combination of the watercolor print and the unusual ruffles. It's definitely a strong spring piece. And perfect for pale people like me!

Well, thats all for today. I might indulge in a spontaneous photo shoot, in which I will post pictures ASAP!

Peace. Love. Inspiration.

I wish I may

On a side note, congratulations to me for applying to Marc Jacobs Internship program!


But this post is more about something I want.
And I want Betsey Johnson.







These are a few new items in the Betsey Johnson accessory line. I fell in love with these earrings because of their simplicity and elegance, and they represent Betsey's fun attitude. I miss wearing funky earrings, and I know if I had these, I would wear them all the time! I especially love the mismatched bow earrings. Being assymetrical is fun! And it gives you a new edge, one that makes people do a double take when they see these adorable bows dangling from your ears...

Lets be earth-friendly!

2 posts in one day! Hooray!

I got really excited when I saw that H&M now has a collection made from recycled and organic materials, so I went on their website to check it out!

I am a strong believer in creating a more sustainable earth, so whenever I get some money, here are a few items in the Garden collection that I am in dire want of.





The collection has a lot of colorful prints and solids, and the pieces have a playfulness about them that is very appealing. It's hard to imagine that these garments aren't made from your every-day fabrics! And yet they are still stylish and affordable, so find something that fits you at their website!

Loverly <3
