if i make it back, i'll still want more.

Merona shawl cardigan, H&M striped raglan, PacSun jeans and necklace, mum's penny loafers, and Simply Vera Wang bag.

Since magazines have been promoting all the new spring clothes it's so hard to dress for this rainy weather without craving the new season. I think I have been really interested in colour lately, whether it's primaries or wearing the same palette of a colour. I'm hoping to get a few primary coloured dresses into my wardrobe since I've realized I have a lot of florals. I'm thinking emerald green, red orange, and navy blue. I'm also so in love with the colour coral. It's so refreshing, like a grapefruit.

It's rainy here in the Bay Area, and I'm still going to have to be out and about! Oh well, I hope you all have a great weekend.

Love, Jenae.

green finch and linnet bird.

Gap trench coat, Simply Vera by Vera Wang dress, socks, bag, and heels.

Remember that trench coat I talked about awhile ago? I got it. :) I've worn it a lot but haven't got pictures of it yet. It's wonderful; it's comfortable, flattering, and has kept me dry in the rainiest weather. Everyone should have one.

I'm pretty much decked out in Vera Wang in this outfit. Have I ever told you that she is one of my favourite designers? 

I'm currently working on my mood board for my fashion design class. I should hop back on it. It has to be amazing. I'm also in for a pretty busy weekend. Till then.

Love, Jenae.

Hello my lovely readers! I've had a pretty hard week so I haven't got the chance to do everything I want to. I still haven't got the chance to sit down to look at the Paris collections! I do have some outfit posts saved that I think I'll start showing, it's been awhile.

I've still been busy planning for a fashion show, fashion school, regular school, college placement tests, evening events, catching up on sleep, and when I get the slightest bit of free time; read the few new books my mum got for me. And I'm still waiting on my magazines to come in the mail.

So I should be getting back to my work. Hope you are having a good week so far. I'm excited to wear green tomorrow.

Love, Jenae.

lovely.

This picture was taken awhile ago by The Sartorialist. It still keeps haunting my mind, but I just love it so much.

Hope you are having a nice Tuesday.

Love, Jenae.

Fall 2011: Part 3.

Acne

Love the dusty rose and navy combination. The different fabrics such as the leather, velvet, metallic, and chiffon is amazing. Simple but very well made and lux.

Alberta Ferritti

The review of her collection might have been a bit harsh but I still enjoyed these dresses. Very pretty and very Alberta. (Can I have the one on the right?)

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Usually I am afraid of the colour orange because those are my school colours but it looks lovely here. The colour seems so warm and comforting. I love the silky skirts and dresses. In love with the styling too. Love the menswear too. New tweeds and the suit is adorable. 

Marc Jacobs

For awhile I didn't like polka dots but recently this past year I have come to like them again and I love the polka dot mixing here. I'm glad to know that my polka dot tights will still be in style. The silhouettes are good too.

Due to recent events this past week I haven't been on the computer much. So I haven't been able to look at the Paris shows but I'll get to it when I have time later this week because this week will be a bit rough also. 

I've got some piled on school work, a fashion show to plan within a month (and we still don't even have much clothing!) and my collection to think about for my Fashion Design class. Plus some college placement days.

Well, back to writing my fatty paper. It's on and off weather in California and it's pretty cold right now. I would love to just live in my trench still this awkward winter/spring rains are over.

That's all for now. I hope you are having a nice evening.

Love, Jenae.

3.1 Phillip Lim

I love the whole sporty, clean look.

Proenza Schouler

Prints and colours are amazing. Especially with all the nice fabric. Wish I could own.

Rodarte

Lovely of course. 

 Vera Wang

Loved the whole gothic feel. I now seriously need to get some black wedges. Had a huge crush on that red dress.

Fall 2011: Part 1.

I've been watching videos and looking through images from Fashion Week and have been picking four of my favourite looks from select collections that I particularly liked and putting them together into these images.

Band of Outsiders

Menswear was great, I loved the colours used and the styling.

Jason Wu

One of my favourite collections; I liked the lace used in a new way and the patterns are pretty and the clothes looks so well made. I would wear every piece in this collection for I feel it is mostly my style.

Monique Lhuillier

This is actually from her Pre-Fall collection. I have always been a fan of her dresses and I loved this collection. I wish I could have one of the two dresses on the right for my prom. 

Oscar del la Renta

Always pretty, of course.

So, I shall have more to come. I hope you have a great weekend.

Love, Jenae.

dream dress.

My dream dress from Foley & Corina if I got to prom. It's perfect because it's long but sheer so the dress won't swallow me whole with my petite frame. It's dreamy, elegant, and different which is what I usually am for. But sadly, it is out of my price range. So I'll have to find a better substitute. Anyone know of any?

It's been cold here in the Bay Area, there are saying snow tomorrow, but I am not getting my hopes up. But I have my new trench coat prepared for it. 

I hope you are having a good Thursday.

Love, Jenae.
