Now You're in New York

These shoes are so hood and would go perfectly with my new leather jacket. I've been wearing a lot of black lately, I blame it on this city, not even mad.

Inspiration and entertainment for hours...

Lookbook is the new Facebook. Spend hours stalking people from all over the world who have chosen to share their mostly-superbly styled outfits. Rather than get jealous of wallposts or who poked who, get inspired by Lookbook's submitters. The Europeans have us in fashion, for sure. If you've got some time, click here to take a peek. I only say if you have time because it will suck you in for hours.

hugely badass

badass combo: Beyonce and Lady Gaga

I dont know how to post videos onto blog yet but you can watch the vid on youtube by clicking here
I think it's pretty awesome, you? Definitely a different side to both B and LG in this one. B so sultry, so ghetto and LG so normal.

My Modeling Debut

I got to model a dress for an Us Weekly fashion segment on NBC's LX TV on Monday. Very fun, kinda scary, they didn't give us make up or even lotion...and there is so much focus on my legs. Check me out here

I <3 Your Style by Amanda Brooks

For all of you shopaholics, impulse buyers and trend-crazy shoppers, here is your new Bible. I have a serious problem with shopping and after reading this book, I've been able to limit my trend buying (H&M, Forever21, etc.) and focus on what is important: the classics. Best lesson learned from Amanda Brooks: only splurge on clothing items that you know will last forever, not just a season.

If I could be anyone, I'd be Hannah MacGibbon

Hannah MacGibbon is hands down my current favorite designer. She was appointed Creative Director of Chloe in 2008 and is responsible for steering the Ready-To-Wear collection in a more flirty, girly, young direction. I love the scallop detailing, the bows, the colors, the simplistic detail, everything...she is my inspiration

Where to find what that girl was wearing...

If you're anything like me, you constantly observe what women in New York City are wearing. Not a day goes by when I don't want something that someone passing me on the sidewalk is wearing and as much as I hate it, ShopStyle is there to help ease the jealousy. They've also got a Polyvore thing going on, which I love.

I don't condone copying outfits head to toe but when you see something you just have to have, you have to have it and ShopStyle will help you have it.

Karl Lagerfeld, love you even more Mr. Chanel

(In an interview with Sigrid Agren, supermodel, before his show [courtesy of Interview Mag])

LAGERFELD: I don’t want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven’t done. There’s no “again.” There’s only the future. I hate the past—especially my own past.

AGREN: Do you have an all-time favorite musician who you’ve loved forever?

LAGERFELD: Yes. Some of the musicians from the ’60s, because there has been nothing better than them since, you know? What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones . . . You can remember every line to their songs. But today, how often do you remember any of the lines to songs? I mean, I know Lily Allen’s last album is called It’s Not Me, It’s You. [both laugh] But I don’t know how the songs go.

AGREN: Where do you feel most at home?

LAGERFELD: Yes, I don’t have the notion of the feeling of “home,” or “Heimat,” as the Germans say. That doesn’t exist for me. I bring myself with me wherever I go, so it’s okay.

and this time I've decided I'm going to be a fashion blogger. Move over Jane Aldridge. Calliegator will be > Sea of Shoes....

A few weeks ago I posted on my FB status that I would like God to send me the Jeffrey Campbell heeled creepers and today, my prayer was answered. He may not have miraculously put $ in my wallet to buy them, but I finally found them at LF Store. LF claims that these are limited edition and exclusive to LF however, I saw the exact same ones on shopnastygal (where
it was love at first sight. So, here is the debut of my new shoes....
