Evocations of Emotion

Victoria's Secret.  That brand name immediately makes me think of expensive butsexy and so totally worth it bras and panties.  It also brings to mind really nice clothing and shoes.  And what really comes to mind is the annual fashion show. One of the most extravagant fashion shows on tv.  Probably the only fashion show on tv.  The only problem with this show is that all of the models are super skinny and tall.  So for all of us shorter and chubbier girls, it evokes a period ofself-loathing.  It also makes every girl wish she were a VS model and it makes every guy wish he was dating a VS model.  But we watch it anyway. The VS Fashion Show is the guilty pleasure of both men and women alike.  No matter how bad it makes us feel.

This year's fashion show was split into the categories of Ballet, Super Angels, Passion, Aquatic Angels, I Put A Spell On You and Club Pink.

The Ballet segment was gorgeous with big, tulle skirts and laced up heels.  There were satin ribbons that laced up like pointe shoes.  There were wings full of feathers and dreamy, light colors. 


The Super Angels segment had fun colors and long flowing capes with "Boom" and "Pow" written on them.


The Passion segment brought sexy colors and Spanish influences into the outfits.  Take Adriana's outfit.  Her outfit had aspects of Spanish Flamenco dancers.

The Aquatic Angels had colors from under the sea and fun elements of shells, pearls and seaweed.  


I Put A Spell On You was boudoir at it's finest.  Corsets, fans and parasols from a romantic time period. 


Finally was Club Pink.  Club Pink was a perfect representation of fun, flirty and bright colors.  It looked like the models were having so much fun during this segment especially.  There were light up and sparkling accents.  It was probably my favorite part of the show.

All together, the show was amazing, as usual.  The outfits were completely over the top and always sexy.  It was classic Victoria's Secret. It was pretty cool.

Fiore Rosa

My friend was a model in New Jersey Fashion week.  It was only right that as her best friend, I went to support her.  I had to look good.  We went to a bunch of different stores, and finally we entered H&M.  I found the perfect dress.  I don't remember how much it was, but it wasn't insanely expensive and I paired it with a pretty silver bracelet, little black Madden Girl pumps and a necklace with a pink stone that my friend let me borrow.  The dress was a deep pink, almost a magenta, and it had layered ruffles and bows and it was just beautiful.




Maybe I should have worn a different bra, but oh well. Now I know for next time.

Clothes, clothes and MORE clothes

    So right now I have a huge Christmas list and all it has on it, is clothes.  I just cannot get enough.  Especially when it's cheetah/leopard print.  That is my absolute favorite.

   I am a clothing junkie.  Shopping is my addiction.  Shoes and clothes are my heroine. Which is probably better than having an addiction to actual heroine...  I'm just obsessed with shopping.  It also doesn't help that I'm an impulsive shopper either.

   Recently, I rediscovered Old Navy.  Surprisingly enough, Old Navy had some really cute stuff for cheap.  I bought this really cute off-white poncho sweater and a pair of brown riding boots for like $40 all together.  Not bad, especially since the boots were originally $40 on their own.
The boots
The poncho
How cute are they? And they're Old Navy, which really surprised me.  In a good way though. I paired them together with a pair of blue skinny jeans and a peacock feather necklace.  It was a good day. So many people told me they liked my outfit. I was happy.  I'm a curvier girl, so it worked well and I didn't have a muffin top, which is always so hard.
