This was actually downtown Pittsburgh...i think its a little crazy. I mean, i think of 'downtown' as modern skyscrapers. Apparently im wrong..



Me with the flowers...these pictures werent, ahem, supposed to be taken. i guess my crazy mother did not see the 'no photography' sign. ah, well. they look cool! The museum was everything you would expect it to be-full of pop art, cool graphics, and classic photos that you've seen a million times but just now recognized.

Looks like a fake back-drop, doesnt it? But its totally real, i promise you. We were just there when there were no cars.
Bridge back into the city

More Pittsburgh pictures...these were taken the last day we were there. i was also very happy with them and was thinking about entering either the 2nd or 3rd pictures in teenVogue's It Girl of the Week contest. what do you think? its either one of these or one from the previous post.. i cant decide-i need a second opinion!

Pics from a few weeks ago, right before i left for Pittsburgh. I just sorta meandered out into the front yard, not really expecting anything great to come of it. But im actaully really, really happy with the way this batch turned out :) The contrast of the bright plaid and sand...the chic-ness of the outfit and the sorta dirtiness of the rocks and sand.. im not sure what it is, but i ike it a lot. And as you can see, i made it my header...so i hope you guys like it as much as i do!

im back from Pittsburgh and absolutely swamped with pictures to download, things to post, homework to do, gossip to catch up on...you can imagine! you cant just up and leave for a week and then return to normalcy..
anyhoo, these are the first of my pictures- lunch at Benihana last week- i love these places! the chefs cooking right in front of you always entertains me...


then we proceded to Sarris's Candy Factory. it was the craziest place ever! tons of candy, tons of stuffed animals (for no apparent reason)... lots of oggling people.





turns out they had an ice cream parlor too-yes, please!




(Forever 21 coat, Banana Republic sweater, Ann Taylor necklace, Old Navy jeans, Urban Outfitters beret, Groovy shoes)

It was a lot of fun, and of course, much candy consuming followed! And now, back to unpacking and preparations for...gah...a 6:15 wake-up call, closely followed by school. Hope your Monday wasnt too terrible!

Quick pic that was taken by my dad when we were out for a walk this past weekend at my cabin. The dogs, Lucy on the left, Sadie on the right, were quite energetic and it was more of a dog-walking-the-human kind of thing. Still, it was fun. And if you were wondering, yes, i have hair! It's in a side braid, thats all. :)

Loving this cropped studded leather jacket! I do already have a leather jacket, but hey...you can never have too many leather jackets, especially when your putting a new twist on an old favorite. It can glam up a plain outfit, be added to a feminine dress, or throw it on as you leave to go to dinner. Super easy, super cute, and the best part is it's made from vegan leather! Check it out at lulus.com.



Spring already! I can't believe it, and for now, im refusing to head in that direction (despite Chanel's ready-to-wear runway show being absolutely spectacular). instead, im happy with flannel, fur (fake, of course!), boots, and knit accessories! Here are a few of the Fall's 09/10 best looks:






(Missoni)




(Rodarte)







(Michael Kors)


  • Chanel's magnificent make-up and accent colour; mint green

  • Michael Kors neon obsession
  • classic 80's shapes and trends; strong shoulders, glitterati, bold colors

    (see style.com, or Harper's Bazaar special runway recap issue for a full report, pictures and all, of New York, Paris, and Milan's Fall Fashion fun)

Snaps for Alexander McQueen, who took recycling to a whole new level-he used countless props from seasons past, painted them all black, and piled them up in the middle of the runway! Not only was the outcome stunning, it reduced the stress on our earth.

and...

While i was perusing style.com, i came across all these great videos on the fall runway shows, as well as spring. Check them out when you get a chance, here are my favorite quotes from the Paris Spring 09/10 Recap video:



"I come to paris with a full beard, and i leave with a moustache" Michael Stipe

"Did you have to sneak out of school to come here?" directed to Charles Guislain

"Theres nothing simple about being womanly here" Sarah Mower

It's hereeeeee! At long last, my pre-ordered copy of The teenVogue Handbook has arrived! I belive i ordered it sometime during summer, and resorted to waiting. And waiting. But it was in my mailbox when i got home from school a couple days ago and i have had a hard time putting it down ever since. There are tons of great, inspiring interviews, stories, and tips and tricks of the trade to help you get started on your career in the fashion world. The catagories include designers, models, make-up artists, photographers, stylists, and editors. Check it out at amazon.com

Fall, and all its wonderful and familiar smells, colors, traditions, and most of all, outfits, has absolutely captured me. I am in so deep its hard to pull myself back to the unfavorable reality of tests, homework, and 6:15 a.m wake-up calls. My mother got a grip on our whole house in her halloween-inspired whirl-wind, and this is how it turned out...










I so wanted to do one big, huge fall post, but as you can imagine, i got a little carried away and decided that it would be wayy too much for just one post. This is the first part of Read My Lips; Fall Fashion Edition...my shoe line up!!



leopard flats-Rocket Dog
violet flats-Charlotte Russe
mocassin wedges-Chinese Laundry
cobalt blue pumps-Charlotte Russe
black boots-Steve Madden
gray boots-Mossimo for Target

These fiesty pumps are my latest purchase. They were intended to go with my black-accented-with-jewels homecoming dress, but it didn't quite work out. Instead of returning them to Charlotte Russe and to the possible (and probable) life of sitting on a shelf not being appreciated to their full value, or even worse, being worn in.....less than favorable circumstances, im keeping them. And you need not worry about their not being appreciated, because believe me, everytime i walk by my 'fall shoe line' up in my room, they are fully loved!
So there you have it, the first part of the highly anticipated (by me at least) Fall Fashion Edition of Read My Lips! The second (and possibly third) edition will be coming soon. Most of my outfit pics will be taken in Pittsburg when im there over fall break (yay!!). Any perfect fall plans in your futures?
xxoo,
K

Dance
as though no one is watching you,
Love
as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing

Live
