Harper's Bazaar Part 2

Okay, so it took me longer than a day to finally start writing the second part of my blog about Harper's Bazaar- November issue, but I know I have to write it, so here it is! Woo hoo (:

Lately I have been obsessed with necklaces. So when I saw that there were many fabulous necklaces in November's issue of Bazzar, I was ecstatic! In the Editor's Letter there is a magnificent Kate Spade New York pearl and diamond necklace which is connected by sheer, white ribbon. $495





Then in Editor's Choice there is an Oscar de la Rente necklace that I think is fabulous, for whatever reason. I would never, ever, ever wear this necklace but am hoping to see Lady Gaga spotting it some day soon! $1, 190 (Picture coming soon!)








One of the necklaces that I fell in love with that I might actually be able to pull of is the Marni necklace also featured in Editor's Choice. $900





So, obviously ribbon necklaces are in this fall! They are popping up everywhere. Designers everywhere are selling ribbon necklaces...
1-Phillip Lim 3.1
2-Marni
3-Lanvin
4-Marni
5-Louis Vuitton
6-Louis Vuitton
7-Oscar de la Renta
8-Miu Miu
9-Lanvin



This fall we are not only seeing the typical red's, orange's, and brown's but also floral prints and summer colors; navy blue, greens, lemon yellows, and light pink are making their way into collections. I find this odd, I would never dream of wearing pink or green in the fall. Frankly I don't wear pink in summer either, but I would never wear it in the fall. But my opinion does not matter in the fashion industry; they don't even know I exist, and they can do whatever they want, so pinks, florals, and other "summer" colors are in.
Although fall seems to have a touch of summer this year, don't through out all of your fall clothes! We are still seeing those colors! In fact, even though I don't wear heels and am not a fan of neon, I have fallen in love with Jil Sander's neon orange pumps, $945. Of course, I would never wear them but for some reason I think they would be adorable on the right person with skinny jeans and a black or gray top. (:

We are also seeing lots of black and white. Black and white is classic, and always in, so if you have a ton of extra money laying around, I would definitely suggest Nicolas Ghesquiére's Balenciaga beautiful, black and white clutch, $1,160.
Or Jack Vartanian's black, onyx ring. $4,200. But if your broke like me then Forever has some really sick rings!


Beaded rose ring $3.80                     Round pollen ring $6.80                     Rectangle jewel ring $2.80   

H&M as well as Forever 21 have some affordable clutches too! (:

Yet another thing I don't love that are huge right now are... funnel scarves! If you like them then your lucky, you now have an excuse to wear them! I refuse to wear something that the fashion industry says is in that I absolutely can't stand.... just a side note.

There are two other articles that I'm absolutely in love with in November's issue! Cheap Thrills, and Crimes of Fashion.
Amazing photography and fashion! Props to the photographers Mark Seliger and Miguel Reveriego. Beautiful and outstanding work!

A few quick side notes and I'm done.

1. I'm not sure why I haven't written about this yet, but about a month ago the fashion industry came out with the statement that anyone over a size 6 is now considered plus size. I am NOT saying this to make anyone feel bad, I myself am not a size 6, but to inform everyone of the insanity. I love fashion, but I hate the fashion industry! As an aspiring photographer, when I am editing photos of my models I refuse to make them look thinner! I am realizing more and more what actually goes into photos and it is horrible and unrealisitic.


2. On a happier note: I went shopping two days in a row at my favorite store, Forever 21! I bought lots of cute stuff and will go into more detail later. I will also be visiting Scottsdale's H&M soon and will inform you guys on the little piece of heaven that is now available to us Arizonans. (:


Love,
