St. Louie Style: 2012

A lot of the Fashion Week videos I've been looking at lately have really bad quality, so until I find a great show with great quality, here are some random videos for your very own entertainment from yours truly :) They're some of my favorites.

I watch these videos constantly in my free time...check out Megan's channel (meganheartsmakeup or meganjuliaparken) on YouTube! She gives makeup tutorials and shares her thoughts on fashion. I decided to share this one because she's in NYC, aka my favorite place ever!

Bryanboy and others at Peter Som!

AMAZING VIDEO. NO WORDS. Okay, I do have some words. This is Danny Roberts of the blog Igor + Andre. And this is my favorite picture. I got two of his paintings (and they're signed...eek!) for my birthday and am currently in the process of finding some frames for them. When they're up I'll post a picture and then send Danny a message with high hopes of a reply :)

So this one doesn't really have to do with fashion. Actually, it doesn't have to do with fashion at all, but it's just SO cool and this guy is just SO talented that I had to share it! He's dancing naturally (is that the right word?) to the Dubstep remix of Pumped up Kicks by Foster the People...and he dances exactly to the beat. It's truly awesome.

Here's my latest blog on lhsimage.com :)

I know everyone thinks they’re different, unique and expressive in their style, but in reality, they’re not. If you think about what girls wear at our school, I’m sure everyone would have the same answers. Leggings and Uggs, Sperrys, t-shirts and jeans, etc. I’ll even admit I fall into this category sometimes because I don’t feel like planning an elaborate and trendy outfit.

But hopefully, that can change. Being different doesn’t consist of wearing the same old thing that everyone else wears and shopping where everyone else shops. It means branching out and wearing something you personally think looks good and not what looks good on other people. It means trying out new patterns, colors and fabrics and not sticking to the basics.

So, to solve this problem, when you get dressed for school in the morning don’t think about what others are going to think about your outfit. You’re overlooking who matters most when picking out an outfit–yourself.

It’s not a bad thing to go along with current trends, because that’s why trends are there, to be followed. But if you want to take part in a trend, make it your own. Accessorize your ensemble unlike anyone else to make it truly different and trendy.

Personal style expresses who you are, and if everyone dresses the exact same, how can anyone be noticed at all?

SOOO anyway...that's just my opinion. But if you think about it, it's totally true right? On another note, I've been kinda reallyyy obsessed with Bryan Boy lately; his tweets just get to me. He's funny and fashionable at the same time...double win! :D He made me obsessed with menswear...

Also, Valentine's Day is quickly approaching! And if I don't have someone to spend it with, oh well, I can always spend it with my unconditionally loving fashion magazines. :)
