love this chick: mk moment

The outfit in these images from Olsens Anonymous, the top image posted yesterday, definitely falls under my top three MK moments of all time. If you know me and my wardrobe well, you most likely have seen me wearing variations on this ratty tee + chunky rhinestone necklace combo a million times. Well, now you know where it all started!

This look was also included in my August 2009 Olsen style collage post. Mmmmm I just love it so.

And speaking of Olsen, check out the girls last week on Ellen-- great interview!

Sleep tight, kiddies.

want this now: what the editors are wearing

To me, fashion editors are like the cool girls in school. They’re the ones who know what’s hip before the rest of us and set the trends both in magazines and on the streets.

As you may know, fashion month is well under way (this week: Milan!), and I’ve found myself anxiously awaiting updates on Tommy Ton’s Style.com street style album (a veritable yearbook of fashion’s top editors) than images from the shows themselves. Why you ask? Because I am ready for a CHANGE, something fresh, something new in fashion, and I need the cool girls to be my guide.

What have they told me is in? Camouflage print, military colors and details, leopard everything, denim-on-denim ensembles and camel colored coats. Love, love, love and LOVE!

J.Crew obviously got the memo for fall and has an awesome selection of these trends, many of which are on sale now!! Camo print pants, dress, and skirt, flack jackets, denim shirts, a denim vest, a great camel peacoat and some leopard print ballet flats.

My friend Ana already has the denim-on-denim ensemble down, wearing today a lightweight denim shirt from H&M and a pair of dark lejeans (I refuse to call them jeggings). Personally, I'm on the hunt for a furry leopard scarf as pictured above on fashion's favorite redhead Taylor Tomasi Hill and the stylish show-goer above her. I already got my hands on an army green military shirt and you better believe that I've broken out my Abercrombie and Fitch camo cargos from eighth grade.

what i'm up to: ralph lauren collection ss11

Okay, so this probably goes down as a record for the longest time that I've gone without blogging--but it's for good reason, I think.

I posted my last entry on my first day interning at Ralph Lauren Collection and have been running around like a crazy person ever since, between moving back to Boston to start my senior year at BU, getting settled at school, Buzz meetings galore, celebrating the High Holidays and running back to New York in time for Fashion Week.

So it's pretty fitting that I am posting my first entry since my first day at Ralph on my last day: THE SHOW!!

I can't get into details about working during Looks Week, the fitting and backstage at the show, but I can talk about what's already been posted online! Like.....

MY FAVORITE LOOKS!!

UPDATED 9/19: To see the show in action, check out the video of the show on RalphLauren.com!

{shot of backstage after the show. can't see me but I see my intern friends!! from ralphlauren.com}

It was incredible to see the entire show come together to flawlessly the way it did and the collection surpassed my expectations it its beauty. I feel so fortunate to have had the experience that I did at Ralph Lauren this summer and greatly appreciate my opportunity to come back to help with the show.

Meanwhile, today very well might have been my last day ever as an intern. Next up: a real, paying job in fashion?! Could it be true?!

Guess you'll have to stay tuned to see what happens come May!! (Oh boy, freaking out again...)

Peace, Love and Neon,
