{Fail.}

Sooo that wonderful, relaxing snow I mentioned in my last post? Yeah, it ruined my relaxing weekend plans. Though we got no snow here in New York, my hometown in New Jersey got so much that I couldn't go home. I am hoping to go home tomorrow night for some rest & relaxation, but as would be my luck, another snowstorm has been forecast!

Snow or no snow, I have a super busy week ahead. Fashion for Philanthropy is selling candy grams for $2 all this week in the McGinley Center (come buy some to send to your friends!), so I will be tabling and baking all week for that. I have interning tomorrow and Friday, AND Saturday, AND a 6:30 AM call time on Sunday for the VPL fashion show at Pier 59! I am super excited to be involved in fashion week, but 6:30 a.m. is a little scary. I am also now a writer for The Ram, and have an article due Sunday. Then there is always homework and readings to deal with, other odds and ends for the club, and trying to find time to work out and relax!

During my last moments of solitude for the week this morning, I spent a lot of time looking at bedrooms online, mostly on myhomeideas.com. There were so many great bedrooms that I loved, it really got me itching for my own place! Or at least a renovation project on my own room at home!

How amazing and relaxing is this room? And that view! I am admittedly lucky enough to live on the water (at both my mom and my dad's houses!), so I love water views. However, my views tomorrow will be bleak and apparently snow covered, and my bedrooms look nothing like this. I love the plush white linens and clean lines of the room, and I would love to drink my tea on that balcony every morning. What good sleep the owner must get in this bedroom, it is so serene!

{The shape of things to come}

As mentioned in an earlier post, I am ready for warmer weather, mostly because I am tired of my current wardrobe. (Though I am sure that when fashion week starts next Thursday and all of the AW 2010 clothes come out I will go right back to wishing it was October, but I digress.)

Now that I am *thankfully* beyond the age of Abercrombie & Fitch cutoff jean shorts, I prefer my vintage Levi's these days, and tight tank tops, billowing tops or sailor striped shirts are more my thing anyway, as my spring and summer staples, dressing for warmer weather has a whole new meaning.

The SS 2010 runways saw a slight departure from the short dresses, ruggedness, and exaggerated shoulders that had seemed to rule the runway for the past few seasons. Though those looks were still present, the ones that really caught my eye were looks with a definitely 70's vibe, mixed with a little boho-and-boudoir chic, as well as an understated elegance.

I can't wait to get my hands on lovely, looser fitting pieces. Both to layer together for an all-out flowing look, or to mix with my staples, like the striped shirts mentioned above, to make the look my own.

Model Anja Rubik photographed by Tommy Ton. How awesome is that dress? I can see an outfit like this working for all seasons, with the right fabrics and colors, of course. I had the pleasure of working with Anja and her boyfriend for Vogue's February issue in their Manhattan apartment - what sweethearts they were!

If I were a celeb and had to attend an awards show, this would be my pick.

Alexander Wang, SS'10

I am in LOVE with this hairstyle. Ironically, the idea of "controlled mess" is how my hair is most of the time anyway. I will definitely be rocking this look well into summer.
