Carnaby St | London

Wearing: Topshop Jeans | H&M Blouse (in stores now) | Helmut Lang Jacket | Topshop Shoes | Prada Sunnies

I officially want to move to London (for a year). Everything about this city is absolutely amazing, from its darling stone streets and the most beautiful buildings to its food and shopping of course. After my photo shoot with Boohoo yesterday (which was so awesome and I can't wait to share), I walked around Carnaby street with Max and shopped til I literally couldn't feel my feet. Keep updated on my travels through my instagram @weworewhat!

#ENKVegas

Wearing: Helmut Lang Skirt | Morning Warrior Lips Tee | Prada Sunnies

I had so much yesterday working with ENK Vegas on our blogging collaboration. Have you ever been to a trade show? If not, then you arre unaware of the massive tents with hundreds of the best brands presenting their latest collections in boothes inside. So having this as your closet for a day would probably be every girls dream, and was luckily mine. I pranced around the tents from booth to booth meeting up with some of my favorite brands and discovering new ones. Below are some brands I hung out with: Line & Dot, Rebecca Minkoff, Mink Pink (and their puppies), and Luv AJ. 

Also, there are only two days left to WIN A TRIP TO PARIS with me!! So sign up and vote for my picture here on Fashiolista!

InstaWeek

So, I can officially say the first week of the new year has been a great one. I'm currently working on a ton of new and very exciting projects that I can't wait to finally share with you guys when they're ready! One of them has to do with designing a little something of my own (ahh). From a new kind of french manicure to incredible leopard by Stella McCartney (found here), and even getting to see old high school friends.

Billboards for Brands

I've been deep in thought the past few days... Partly over personal things in my life, and mainly over my blog and the blogging industry. The blogging industry - isn't it crazy we can call it that, an industry? When The New York Times article was published, Who Am I Wearing? Funny You Should Ask, I felt a sense of pride. Look at us, being acknowledged by The Times as major influencers, style beacons, and billboards for brands. I then went on to my daily blog reading and found myself captivated by Leandra's words in her most recent post An Afterthought. In it, the Man Repeller addressed the effect of street style and street style photographers on fashion goers. Do we get dressed for ourselves or the people who are watching us? A question that has always been present, but just recently brought to surface with the evident authority bloggers have on consumers and press. "Street style isn't street-centric anymore, it's a string of calculated outfitting chronicles that every so ofter register somewhat contrived." I like this statement, and hate it because it's mostly true. Reading on to the comment portion of this post, I found something interesting by a girl named Hannah. She commented that it seemed like we were challenging the ideology of "pics or it didn't happen," which is really something that started with the growth of Facebook (in my opinion). I'd like to think this is partly due to something I myself suffer from, FOMO (fear of missing out). But let's call this one FOOMO (fear of others missing out). It's the fear of others missing out on our outfits, our great style, and our potential fame. This is really something we (and I mean I) must get over before it saturates the blogging industry and causes something so organic to become even more of a "business" than it already is. "We love fashion because it provoke an emotion without our knowing, but when you contrive that emotion, the fashion doesn't matter anymore. Being known matters." Let's keep it real guys.
