Auslander 2012 S/S campagin: Andrej Pejic & Rick Genest

These photos are beyond dope. I feel like Auslander shot this campaign not to show off their S/S 2012 line but rather, with the objective to make me happy. What are the chances of 2 of my absolute favorite men in fashion being paired up together in one campaign? I am living for these photos! I want them hanging on every wall in my house!Specifically the 3rd photo from the top hanging above my bed. I think the black bottoms and muted white walls would be a great contrast against the bright white walls and painted white, brick floor of my bedroom.

Falls hottest trend: The Starbucks cup

We are now two days into full on Autumn weather and everyone I know is already busting out their fall favorites; Leather jackets, scarfs, fur vest, hoodies, hats, and boots. These are all beyond obvious fall trends that show up year after year, and will continue to pop up in early September until the end of time. The one fall accessories I did not mention above is the Starbucks cup. I have seen more Starbucks cup in the last 2 days then I did in all of the summer months combined , and to be honest I really think it adds a little something to any outfit. Obviously, Starbucks saw an opportunity to venture into the accessories world and jumped at it. The white and green Starbucks cup looks great when paired with almost any other fall apparel. For example, you will look to-die-for if you just throw on some wide legged trousers, your highest, high heels, over sized sunnies, a fitted jacket, and your cup! Another way to shut it down with the Starbucks cup is to pair it with a super chic, cropped leather jacket, again, your highest, high, drag queen, platform, heels, and a pair of jeans that are obviously 2 sizes too big. You dont have to worry about going out and buying new jeans, however.With all the Starbucks you will be drinking there isn't going to be any time for real food, in turn making all your clothes just fall off of you. There is only one woman to blame for this trend and her name it Rachel Zoe. Ever since she first appeared on our TV screens, Starbucks in hand, a few years ago with her show The Rachel Zoe Project this trend has been gaining constant momentum each fall and winter season. Reaching all time highs this past week. Ironically, the same week as the 5th season of the RZP aired. coincidence? I think not. Rachel really should look into partnering up with Starbucks and designing a line of cups with her RZ logo on it. Maybe even concocting some sort of limited time only, low calorie, non-fat, soy milk, dry, Americana, mocha, vanilla, Caramel, pumpkin spice, peppermint, double shot latte.

Andy-ism: NYC Andy Warhol diet!

"If you do watch your weight try the Andy Warhol New York City Diet! When I order in a restaurant I order everything that I dont want, so I have a lot to play around with while everyone else eats."

Fall is back!

Fall is back, and I could not be more excited! My iphone is telling me, at this very moment that it is 67 degrees outside, but there is no way. I tried to leave the house this morning in only a tee shirt and jeans and was elated when I felt the first chill of fall and a slight breeze blowing up my short sleeves and down threw the bottom of my shirt. I ran back into my house for a quick wardrobe change; I looked at my ranks of clothes and knew exactly what I wanted to wear to class! I threw on a black, girls, basic, long sleeve tee from American apparel, my tightest, dark blue jeans, my signature, silver glitter TOMS, and a silver, fox fur boa from Sabau furs in Lakewood, Ohio and was out the door! I'm not sure how many of you wanted to know how my morning went or what I am wearing today but I am so excited about today's weather that I felt I needed to tell everyone! Now that I have shared all the details of my morning with you I have to end this love letter to Fall and outfit of the day overview and get back to my Pumpkin Spice Latte and try to make a dent in my more exhausting homework assignments.

Andy-ism: Sexy like a super model!

"When you're interested in somebody, and you think they might be interested in you, you should point out all your beauty problems and defects right away, rather than take a chance they won't notice them..."

Andy-ism: Get perfect skin!

"When I did my self portrait, I left all the pimples out because you always should. Pimples are a temporary condition... and they dont have anything to do with what you really look like."

ITS HERE!; Lagerfeld for Macy's

Lagerfeld for Macy's is final here! This is more exciting to me then Christmas morning! The line was released yesterday at midnight on Macys.com and later that day at select Macy's stores. I literally counted down the hours until it was released, and for good reason! The line is just as brilliant as I expected it would be with a few welcomed surprises. The line is extremely reflective of Lagerfeld's signature look consisting of blacks, whites, and grays, laces and leathers, and a consistent rocknroll edge. Being sold at Macy's, the line is obviously not as expensive as his own line or his lines for other luxury brands like Chanel, Fendi, and Chloe but he has done an excellent job of hiding the low price points with very convincing fabrics and attention to detail. Most of the garments are  made of a cotton/polyester blend instead of the silks and cashmere's he is accustomed to working. Non the less he has pulled it off. Proving that he really is a Renaissance Man when it comes to the fashion industry. He can do it all, and do it all well! The only issue I have with the line are the photos. The promo photos that showed up in the September issue of Vogue show models being photographed by Lagerfeld but when shopping the line at Macys.com the photos you are shown look as if they were shot in the Sears photo studio by someone who has never been educated on photography a day in their life. Like the photographer just set the camera on a tripod, told the model to stand on a dot, and pressed the shutter button. A minor detail like this is really nothing to harp on, especially when it come to Karl so I am going to over look this one and leave with this; I LOVE LAGERFELD FOR MACY'S!
