tulip insanity

Why does our garden not look like this? Not fair

something pretty sweet

Sooo I was looking at Urban Outfitters Community page, and found this pretty sweet musician, Nikki Lane...

And the pretty sweet photo shoot UO did with her...

Pretty sweet huh?

change

GUESS WHAT!


Good job. You guessed it. I just posted a new post. Please, please, hold your applause. Okay, I know my sad sarcasm does not account for my absence. But its not like anyone is actually reading this. So what the heck.


As you've probably already seen, I changed my blog title to "Le Vie en Rose." And yes, it is inspired from Louis Armstrong's hit song. My decision had pretty much nothing to do with the lyrics; I just like the song (and the title of course). For those of you who don't speak french, it means "The life in pink."


I am a Christian. Yes- like those crazy people way back when who made big ships, walked on water, and ate fish n' chips. Anyway, I believe that seeing "life in pink"does not give an accurate account of this world. Our world is completely awful! I mean seriously, take off yo' glasses and look. We murder, steal, lie, and no body gives a "bleep." However, there are also those people who wear poop colored glasses: ALL they see is the lying, murdering, and angry things of this world. In the mean time, they miss out on all this amazing stuff like sunshine, good food, friends, parents, flowers, music, cake, cars...I could go on and on, as you can imagine. I'm not saying everybody has this stuff, and must be happy about it, but I am saying that there's a lot of awesome things out there.


OKAY, so, my point of having this title for  my blog is to redeem the idea of "wearing glasses." Instead of posting stuff only about fashion (as was my original intent), this blog is kind of going to be a life diary. I'm going to show you folks what its like to see through the glasses of Christ. Yeah, I know, it sounds a little cheesy, but bear with me. It might just turn out pretty cool.


If it doesn't, I give you permission to beat me with a stick.
Ok not really, cause that would hurt.
This was way too long again.
Here's a song to make you happy

in love

Is it possible to be in love with a pair of Dr. Martens 1460 boots? Because I think I'm am.

If only the $125 price tag didn't come with it... We'd have been joined long ago. The color is plain down perfect and I love the white stitching on the sole. Ahhh!!! I want it so badly.. Too bad my $20 a week job says I can't afford this. Blahh.

Oh yeah, it also turns out that I DIDN'T sign up for Vogue so I DON'T get more stuff to look at. More blahh. 

feeling lazy

It's been about a week now.. and I'm thinking I should post something. Even though I'm suppose to be doing my homework right now, instead I've been browsing through my all time favorite fashion blog, The Sartorialist (Click on it! Ahh. I love tagging). I'm not sure whether I should be glad that I'm learning more about fashion, or mad at myself for procrasinating. Hmm. 


I had to clean my room this morning, and as usual, it was quite epic. I made a couple new fits (outfits) and took some pics. However, I can't find the camera card reader thing (my computer savvy-self speaking) that hooks up to the computer. Sooo, for today you just get to read my uninteresting ramblings. Woopee!

vogue and grace coddington

Last night my mum and I watched The September Issue (directed by R.J. Cutler) and it was absolutely amazing. It sort of made me realize what a crazy world the Fashion industry is... but it was a great eye-opener as well. Grace Coddington is my official hero. As my mum said, she was sort of a grump, and rather whiny as well, but her creative sense is truly incredible. She did 3 shoots in just a couple of weeks for this issue, and every single one was AMAZING. I especially loved the 1920's themed shoot.

Aren't they stunning??

I just subscribed to Vogue (accidentally actually..) so now I'll get more stuff to look at. **jumps for joy and runs in a little circle**

premiere? pilot? i don't know...

Hello everyone! My name is Madi, and I am 15 years old. I haven't had very much exposure to fashion, but recently I've been really getting into it. Therefore, I decided to be brave and start my own "fashion blog." Hopefully I won't just be reading it by myself.... or get nasty remarks from my mother like Julie Powell. Anyway, I'm from a little town in Pennsylvania, that is just popping with amazing fashion. In case you couldn't tell that that was sarcastic, it was. Most people belong to the "oh I just want to be comfortable so I'll wear sweat pants, sneakers, and a t-shirt with a frumpy sweater" club and often join the "I hate good fashion" as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe this is necessarily bad or anything, its just that I have quite a difficult time finding people who enjoy clothing as much as I do. 


As for my fashion sense- I love vintage items and anything new and different. Fashion to me is when someone takes their life and their surroundings and mashes them together to create something new, something unique. Fashion can be taken from everywhere and everything, you just have to look hard enough and keep an open mind. Ok, I'm starting to sound all deep and philosophical. (HELP!)

My goal is to post something at least once a week, and hopefully two times, if I can get around to it. I'll be talking about what NOT to wear, catalogues that come in my mail, new fashion collections, other bloggers, and general life experiences that have anything to do with style. I have a flickr account, and if I can figure it out, I'll start posting pictures of myself on here as well.

Well, I have a million things I want to say, but I think my attempt to constrain my fingers is working... so far.
