smokes and orchids

I've been really slacking! Not like anyone reads this, but still!

Okay so I've been really wanting a black blazer.. see The Veronicas below... love love love her blazer and her blonde locks. I have been hoping to grow my hair out because the A-line I got a couple years ago is suddenly the most popular, conformist hairstyle of all time and I need to change it up! It's so difficult to grow out though because of the back! Ah! I want it to be long and gorgeous and I miiiight want bangs like hers, but that could be risky. 

Okay so here are some of my cravings today!

Shoulder pads in regular, boring v-neck tee shirts! Chic! And also her pale pale lipstick.. 4th and Bleeker is such an inspiration! Thennn, this acid washed jean jacket! I think I could rock it and make it look so pimp. 

This little blue dress has the cutest silhouette I've ever seen and I love the shade choice. I am so stuck on my LBD-obsession that I'm aching for some color! ANDDD a bit of Azzedine Alaia is always welcome. I love this mannequin and love the Alaia black pieces in the background. I guess I'm just craving some Azzedine Alaia genius!

As a night owl, I should really invest in this lacy, black number. Who needs blackout curtains when you can slide this over your mascara-smudged eyes?! And orchids in perfect, black geometric planters looking out over some Manhattan brownstone maybe? This just sums up my fall craving in one snapshot. I couldn't ache for Manhattan any harder than at this moment!

I will leave you with this... 

Although I'm all about the haute couture and the glitz, I think I will always savor this look: a girl with the perfect pair of skinnies or bootleg jeans with a classy ballet slipper and the perfect button-up dress shirt paired with a shiny silver watch. Ah. Unfortunately for me, she is usually dangling a cigarette between her perfectly manicured hands and has her long hair tied up in a chic knot. I need to grow my hair, my nails, and my wardrobe. AND get rid of asthma! When did smoking become so fashionable again?
