100th POST!!! :-)

This is my 100th blog post on STOPTALKINGTHANKS.BLOGSPOT.COM!!!

Thanks to everyone who has read ANYTHING on here so far

& Thank you to everyone for reaching 17 states in the U.S. and 24 countries in the world

in the four months since April when I started!!!

I would just like to take this time to talk about everything going on in my life right now since it is a Sunday and all of the Fashion Blogs don't publish new stories on the weekends. 

After a pretty intense school year last fall and spring, I am so happy with my life right now!

I am finally feeling like I am growing up and becoming an adult. I have finally decided what I want to do with my life and where I want to possibly end up with my career and life. While fashion is the main focus, (as it should be for ALL) , anywayyy...I also would still like to work on Editorial sets and the more design and layout parts of the Magazine business. I think people don't consider fashion to be a form of art, and it very much is...without it, I would be no one. 

Maybe one day I will become famous enough for that last sentence to become a quoted and published quote somewhere. That would be amazing! Anyway, I am getting cross-tracked and becoming "bloggergasted" (--a form of being flabbergasted while blogging---...TOTALLY just made that up...and now I am copyrighting it.)

RECENTLY... I have become content withOUT living in NY from consideration and help from influential sources. :-) Looking at NY, I guess I only wanted to live there because of the intense focus on fashion and the "business" in general, but there is really no appeal to me much anymore besides the stores and the Fashion Week(s) so without further ado, I would like to bring it to attention that Chicago has become my city of choice unless otherwise persuaded! It seems smart also to be in a big(GER) city when entering my Junior and Senior years to be closer to the more important internships later on down the road. 

So here's to a great rest of the Summer and Fall Semester because who knows where I'll be in January 2010?!

Summer Lovin'

As Summer weather approaches, I would like to share my Must-Have pieces for the season. 

1. A simple White V-Neck of course. (shown: Hanes)

2. Nice pair of comfortable/light-weight/"airy" Jeans. (Preferably Seven's, but not necessary.)

3. And as odd as this sounds, a nice cut-off/denim short is very comfortable and apparently coming back in style (which was shown in one of my previous blogs). (shown: Levi's)

4. Also colorful shorts are a great choice to put together with a simple shirt and stand out! (shown: Ralph Lauren Polo)

5. Classic sunglasses are always in style, so why not look great with the sun in your eyes with classic Wayfarers & Aviators.

6. Men's gladiator sandals have not made their break into the main-stream world outside of the runway, BUT if you're as daring as I am, you'll try a pair & if you're not in the mood to go all out and buckle in then try a nice durable flip-flop, but not those cheap ones, try Havaianas.

7. Also, a comfortable boat shoe or slip-on is great for the "on-the-go" situations that Summer brings.

8. Colorful belts are great to tie around the shorts and let them hang down through the loop and add another pop to the outfit so that it offsets the other colors.

9. White Jeans. (enough said...as LOUD as they are, 

EVERYONE knows they are a Summer must.)

10. For those breezy Summer nights try a cool cardigan to keep you in the Summer feel. 

11. AND if you're DARING & IN THE MOOD TO IMPRESS, a nice Fedora is always a nice accessory to any outfit that has a laid-back feel.

W W W D ?

This afternoon, as I was sipping Iced Coffee, I was just about to spit it out when I realized I was in public. Why, you might ask would I want to spit out $3 coffee? Well, as I was reading THE CUT/NY Mag Fashion Blog, they reported that Whitney Port is leaving DVF and returning to People's Revolution. What will this do for the City? I am interested to see... 

On, another note, Gossip Girl is a re-run tonight and will not return until next week, guess I'll just have to find something better to do tonight...

I have a feeling it is definitely going to be worth the wait though....

Just saying...
