I was going to post an outfit today but I didn't have time on Monday and I was too lazy yesterday, ha ha...so I'll have to photograph today's outfit unless something insane happens.
Today I'm posting some more Spring 2012 looks that could also work for fall because of their color palettes. First up is the Rodarte collection. I love how they used Van Gogh paintings as inspiration and the dramatic makeup used. And as you all know I LOVE wearing purple, so that makes me love this collection even more.
Next we have Yves Saint Laurent, once again TONS of purple, YES! There are a lot of separates which is great because you can then mix and match all these great pieces together for many more looks. I'm glad to see the jewel tone trend is going to continue because those are the types of colors that look great on me.

Today is my 23rd birthday! Yay! Sadly I will be spending it at work and won't really be celebrating, but I don't really make a big deal out of my birthday anyway. I don't like being the center of attention and actually dread when my family sings Happy Birthday, ha ha. So yea, no real post today...but here's a cute picture of me when I was little, wasn't I adorable ;)
22 was a pretty darn good year, I'm not sure if anything can ever top the awesomeness...let's do a short recap in order of occurrence, shall we? [it will link to a post if there is one]

- Getting to style and star in a photoshoot with The Outnet
- Going to Disney [one, two, three, four] and the HP Theme Park; it was my first trip to Florida
- HP Exhibition and DH Part I DVD launch for my site as a special guest of Warner Bros.

- And lots more that I can't remember at the moment...
I'm way late to the Spring 2012 fashion week party, I was going to try not to post any collections, sadly I fell in love with FAR too many! There are looks from 26 collections that I want to share but I am not going to do them all the usual way. I've made collages of all the looks from each collection that I liked and will be posting them in groups, except for Burberry, Chanel and Theysken's Theory because I couldn't narrow down my choices enough. I'm going to try to spread them out though so you won't be inundated with Spring looks, we are in Fall after-all.
Moving on, first up in the recaps is Burberry Prorsum, aka one of my favorites! I actually think most of the looks in this collection could be worn right now during fall, which is a plus in my book because I always love Fall ;) The rich colors Christopher Bailey used are perfection and I also love how he is starting to use more prints in his pieces, it's still Burberry but with a twist. So without further ado, here are my favorite looks from the collection! Click to enlarge.

Well today is my Mom's birthday but yesterday we had an early celebration of mine which is on Tuesday. We had some cake and I opened a few presents. My sister got me a ring and necklace.
My mom and dad gave me a couple Christmas decorations that I've had my eye on since last year (my mom actually bought one of them last year in the after Christmas sales and hid it from me, ha ha). I'll show you those later. My mom and I also went shopping for some clothes but sadly I found NOTHING...it was a total bust. I did find some cute flats at DSW though.
I think my problem is I can't properly shop when I know someone else is going to pay for it, I just feel so bad that I make myself hate everything I see. Oh well, I don't really mind not finding things, it saved my mom some money, ha ha.
In closing, look at this cute card from my parents:

UPDATE: The Outnet is having an awesome sale this weekend! Get 20% off EVERYTHING with the code SHARELOVE20! Get shopping!!! I may be bad and get myself the Alexander Wang Freja Booties as a birthday gift to myself...
This week was full up ups and downs. The weather was pretty nice and work was okay, so far, let's hope nothing goes wrong today. This Sunday is my mom's birthday so I'll probably be heading home in the morning for a full day of family fun, which I love ;) On Saturday I will probably just relax and watch some movies. What is your weekend looking like?
On the other hand we lost one of the best visionaries the world has ever known, Steve Jobs. Without him we wouldn't have Apple, Pixar and countless other things. I don't want to go on too much about it because I'm pretty upset about it so I'll end with this quote:

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.” [Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]

Here is my outfit from yesterday, it was SO nice outside, I was going to go for a walk after dinner but then it got too dark...so depressing. I wanted to call this post Plum Seduction, but this outfit (and I) am not exactly seductive so that wouldn't have worked. Anywayyyy, this is the first time I've worn this cardigan that I got from ShopBop with a gift card I won in August. I am glad I can finally start wearing these Michael Kors pants more often too, I've only worn them twice since I got them at the end of July, they were too fall-ish.
I had some difficulty with my jumping shots, none of them were coming out sharp enough...very sad, but lucky for you guys I'll be posting some bloopers on Facebook soon! ;)
Pants: Michael Kors (Marshalls) $40, Top: Rumors (TJ Maxx) $12, Cardigan: Ami Dans La Rue via Shopbop gift card, Wedges: Crown Vintage (DSW) $45, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs via Shopbop gift card, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

You all know how much I love Harry Potter and Emma Watson [duh I run a HP Fan Site], but I hardly ever post photos of her, so sad! But that changes today, I am so in love with the shoot she did for Elle France. She looks so pretty and edgy, its definitely one of my favorite shoots with her. The shot where she is sideways is AMAZING, the movement is so cool.
Sadly this is only the second time I have worn this Valentino jacket. There are 2 reasons... 1. It is too big so I feel weird and 2. It is REALLY nice and I don't want to ruin it. For those of you that don't know I got this jacket for $2 at The Outnet's 2nd birthday sale! Also, I am SO in love with these jeans, I know I already said that in another post but it has to be said again.
It was 6pm when I took these pictures so they aren't the best quality since I was losing light, grr! And sorry for the photo overload, as usual...
[UPDATE: I don't want to get the jacket altered because it's to intricate and I'm deathly afraid they will ruin it, AND I've never been to a tailer before because I'm scared of people :p I may seem outgoing on the blog but in real life I am afraid of everything, I have social phobia]
