I absolutely loved the wide array of fashion links and news updates. Each and every one of them was an interesting read, but a few really grabbed my attention. The butterfly inspired gowns were oozing sensuality and I adored the ethereal-like quality they all radiated! The light, flowing layered look seems like a hot trend for the spring season and something I’d love to invest in. Hopefully, the lower-end retailers would have produced their version of the trend soon enough for me to get my hands on it!

The celebrity endorsement trend seems to be increasing in popularity over the years and several retailers have resorted to celeb clothing lines. It would be interesting to see how Ashlee Simpson’s line for Wet Seal fares for the company especially since last I heard, Wet Seal’s sales had been plummeting and the company was closing down several stores. Hopefully, Ashlee Simpson mixes her designs with some sophistication and style instead on focusing on punk-inspired tees which have been soo overdone!

Lauren – Absolutely, I heart your blog! And I know, work just keeps piling up right now, it’s insane! I have tests next week, plus the boyfriend is visiting, plus working on projects.. blogging is of course what I want to do most, but I can’t fail all my classes to do it! So annoying.

Emma – Ooh, sweater vests are super-cute! I like the white blouses idea. Maybe if you could find some similar blouses in different colors that coordinated with the vest, they would look good too! I like the idea of a button-down collared top that is longer than the sweater vest so you can see the bottom of the shirt under the vest. Pair with a mini and it’s so Cher in Clueless! Hope that helped!

Cadi – Those are good ideas for a sweater vest. And I’m glad you appreciated that makeup article, I thought it was so gross what actually goes in to some of the stuff we put on our faces! I guess it’s grosser to imagine going totally without makeup though.. ;)

And I am a Biology major/Chem minor, so that makeup chemistry article was AWESOME. Wish they’d had that when I was in middle school. All we got to do was baking soda volcanoes.

Thanks!

second of all, i totally understand how burned out you’re feeling right now. I’ve had a rough last couple weeks of exams/papers/projects. those teachers just love cramming everything into the last month of school! good luck :)
