I can't believe it, I have about a foot and a half of snow where I live. Earlier in the day, I went sledding with my friends, and then we had a make up contest. In five minutes, we had to make a Lady Gaga look. I won. Oh yeah, I know.<br /><br />Since there's so much snow right now, I think I'll be ironic and talk about spring fashion!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=13723701"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 252px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=13723701" alt="" border="0" /></a>Well, hello gorgeous. There are MJ shoes like this that Lizzi from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/13goingon47.wordpress.com">13 Going on 47</a> showed me last year, in ironically enough, spring! They were more jelly like, where as these babies look like a suede-like material, with a sticky plastic-canvas material that only a genius shoe designer would know the name of. The Marc Jacobs were unfortunately, about a gazillion dollars, but these are $38! I think they'd look great with a simple outfit. Plus, not one person at my school will have them. Unless, of course, Marc Jacobs flys to our town to obviously meet his awesome fan Lizzi that has great style. Then, he'll give them to her, and I'll be forced to steal them.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2010RTW/THAKOON/RUNWAY/00030m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 371px;" src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/S2010RTW/THAKOON/RUNWAY/00030m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Hey Thakoon Panichgul, you're wonderful. Awesome print top? Check. Colorful trousers? Check. Kick-ass shoewear? SCORE! This is such a great ensemble, I love the pop of the pants against the top. Plus, he obviously designed the shoes with yours truely in mind. Man oh man, me, him, Marcie-poooooo, Karl-dawg, and Lady Gaga would make a FANTASTIC group.<br /><br />' by the way, that was total sarcasm. Karl is Karl Lagerfeld, not "dawg", and I'm nowhere as close enough to Marc Jacobs to call him that. Maybe one day, though...<br /><br />UPDATE:<br />OMG ! I JUST COMMENTED FIRST ON TAVI'S LATEST POST!<br />I AM INSTANTLY HAPPY AGAIN.<br /><br />going to go happy dance now,<br /><br />xox francesca.Francescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15285977930228222929noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856215095002786113.post-38618882716986588612010-01-26T19:55:00.002-05:002010-01-26T20:06:16.034-05:00fashion is an art.You know what I realized?<br /><br />Take the kids who are obsessed with Abercrombie. (I don't hate Abercrombie, I do hate their logo tees, though.) The ones who wear only clothing from there or clothing that looks like it's from there. Skinny jeans, UGGs, (and the occasional Coach sneaker- gasp!) and a top. They only only ony only only only only only only only only and ONLY shop at Abercrombie, hollister, etc.<br /><br />Now, take us. The fashion foward, cool kids. We shop all over place. We own a pair of designer flats, and we also own a thrift store sweater. We have GAP shopping bags in our room, but take the time to look at Lanvin's newest spring collection. Our outfits change on a daily basis, and we mix it up. From bright tights to distressed denim, we go with the flow and wear different things. We have a extreme love for fashion, yet we are able to shop at different stores. The Abercrombie zombies only shop at around 4 or 5 stores, and no where else. They can't risk wearing anything from Forever 21. We can, though. I could name at least 10 stores I like to shop at.<br /><br />I just thought that was interesting. About how we love fashion, we worship it and obsess (yeaah!) over it. Yet it's the people who constrict to a basic uniform every day who are the supposedly "picky" choosers, who shop at certain stores. I'm not going to lie, I used to love Abercrombie. Gosh, I feel so stupid. Especially with some of it's expensive prices, I feel so bad for my parents that I said abercrombie was my favorite store to shop at. I didn't demand to shop there though, thank goodness, I shopped at Old Navy too. But now that I'm a biitttt more older and wiser, I'm so thankful I can shop at a variety of stores.<br /><br />Plus, fashion should make you stand out. You should have confidence to rock your crazy outfit, despite your best friends who are in love with Abercrombie mocking you. Last year some of my friends constantly talked about my "weird" outfits. (Hey... even if you say it's weird, at least it's not BORING AND THE SAME AS EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON IN OUR SCHOOL! OHHH SNAP.)<br /><br />So yeah.<br />Peace.<br /><br />xoxFrancescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15285977930228222929noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856215095002786113.post-18587807573700278392010-01-17T23:09:00.003-05:002010-01-18T17:34:38.606-05:00what's that, you say?

AND PERFECT FOR THE MONTHS COMING UP, COUGH COUGH SPRING. (no, pshhh, this is soo not a hint to hurry up and come already!) I'm so sick of this dreadful winter weather and all this silly white stuff they call snow. It falls, it looks pretty, then it melts away and DIES. I'm sure I'll live somewhere warm in the future.<br /><br />I'm already thinking about what to wear for spring and summer. I want pretty, colorful pieces, that epitomize a flowery feeling. I'm also looking foward to wearing my new floral Urban Outfitters dress without tights! This also goes with my many Forever 21 skirts that look so much better with bare legs.<br /><br />Some things I would like to purchase would be a lightweight cardigan, and definitely a romper. A cute romper, to wear with a short sleeve cardigan to school. Oh, and a crazy pair of nice flats to dress up my very casual outfits. I hate looking like everyone else at school. (By the way, it's less abercrombie logos now, but still buzzing around. More like plain Abercrombie stuff or floral Abercrombie. Either way, it doesn't matter.) I would wear those shorts tucked into a tank top, with some gold necklaces, a pair of sandals, and a ruffly cardigan from J.Crew. Oh spring, how I love you soooo.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=8327686"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=8327686" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=11840166"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 364px; height: 364px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=11840166" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />How perfect is this romper? I love it, and Lauren Conrad does too. It's more perfect by the fact that it's on sale for $30 at <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=16366163">Urban Outfitters</a>, and they even have it in my size, XS.

They're perfect in every way. Well, besides the fact that I would look a bit ridiculous wearing to my my school filled with uniforms of Abercrombie. (Oh, drat! I've mentioned Abercrombie 3 times in this post- wait, make that number 4!)<br /><br />Anyways, hope you have a great day, night, afternoon, or anything.<br />What are you looking foward to wear this spring?<br /><br />xo FrancescaFrancescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15285977930228222929noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856215095002786113.post-13797303261655624582010-01-04T18:32:00.002-05:002010-01-04T18:50:12.281-05:00new years, netaporter, and jeans, oh my!<span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">Happy new year & happy hol</span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:courier new;">idays !<br /><br /></span></span>I hope you all had a very lovely holiday and a great new years. I had a good time this year with my friends and family, and Christmas was good as well.<br /><br />What are your resolutions? Mine are...<br />1. <span style="font-style: italic;">Stop procrastinating</span>. (sure, francesca. good luck with this one.)<br />2. <span style="font-style: italic;">Mix up my outfits more</span>. (actually possible!)<br />3. <span style="font-style: italic;">Be a little more different and try out trends</span>. (yaayyyy)<br />4. <span style="font-style: italic;">Keep a semi decent journal</span>. (making a work document with a password. writing is strenous.)<br />5. <span style="font-style: italic;">Stop procrastinating</span>. (again, not going to happen.)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Overall</span>, 2009 was a good year. I met tons of new people, really developed my style more, and enjoyed birthday parties, presents, and other people's parties. Plus, got all your wonderful comments. (Pstttt! They're free! Comment now! They're cheaper and almost as fun as buying a pair of riding boots... kind of. Not really. But please do comment!)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4196352974_e2318ddcc5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 288px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4196352974_e2318ddcc5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>How great does Tavi look here?

What's not to love about these? They're J Brand, easy to match with, and are only $43 dollars at <a href="http://www.netaporter.com/product/49716">net-a-porter</a>. I would have totally bought them with some of my Christmas present money, but nooooooooo. With just my luck, they only have them in a size 31. Oh, the joy of being a thirteen year old fashionista. (Which reminds me... you know the clique? That book series? How the heck do all those girls fit into Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs, and YSL?)<br /><br />Otherwise, though, have a great night, morning, day, season, month, fortnight, year, and more! Be daring, be chic, have fun, fall in love, steal Lady Gaga's pants, dance in a street, sing, and live your life. I can't wait to start 2010 on a good note.<br /><br />- love always, francescaFrancescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15285977930228222929noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856215095002786113.post-82238761305449235332009-12-21T19:19:00.002-05:002009-12-21T19:24:34.484-05:00whaaaat's that? hermes you got there? pffffttttttt.today during French class we were learning about the Chrismas activities the lovely French do. We watched this video of some icky tourist person around Paris, talking about the stuff they have. There were moments where he was talking about the French like small boutiques rather than the big obnoxious department stores like Lord & Taylor, with evil saleswomen who peer pressure you into buying that DKNY skirt. There was a moment of a group of VERYY chicly dressed women peering into an Hermes shop window.

At our school, most girls are into the abercrombie or hollister look. You know, wearing a "cute" abercrombie shirt with a pair of darkswash skinnies and a pair of uggs. and OMGZZZZZZ ! like, is that a juicy jacket? ohmygoshhhhhh i loooovelovelovelovee it haha tee hee!<br /><br />fine. maybe I'm going overboard. But I think you get the point.<br /><br />Even when I have friends that are aber-obsessed, I'm happy to say at least some of them have a teeensy bit of originality and wear some other things from the stores, like a scarf, or a knit sweater. And don't get me wrong, abercrombie jeans are pretty good quality, and I own a super soft grey slouchy shirt from the store that I really love. But sadly, there are still some people who have no originality whatsoever and only wear a uniform of a logo tee, jeans, and uggs every single day.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.abercrombiekids.com/kids/onlinestore/collection/23274_01_p.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 315px;" src="http://www.abercrombiekids.com/kids/onlinestore/collection/23274_01_p.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>*gags* no thank you. i don't really feel like advertising for you...<br /><br />but hey! this doesn't mean there aren't any fashionistas at our school!<br /><br />Take Lizzi. She's one of my good friends who shops at Urban Outfitters, H&M, American Apparel, and some designer stores frequently. Loooooveee it. She has a great style- although I'm not one hundred percent sure if I can take the liberty of defining it, but I'd say it's L.A. chic with a bit of indie thrown in.<br /><br />In fact, her and her mom have a fashion blog that is very helpful! You can find it at 13goingon47.wordpress.com. Check it out or else be cursed by the fashion gods. Just kidding.<br /><br />Also, I have another awesome dresser of a friend. Because I haven't checked in on with her, I'll just call her D. She shops at Urban Outfitters, like Lizzi, and also with some Free People and Lucky. Equal amour !

Ahhhhhhh!!<br /><br />One itsy bitsy problem though. I have no idea what to wear.<br />It has to be pretty cheap, because my hair bow was thirty dollars itself.

And before I continue, I just want to tell you that I swear on Chanel Iman, Vogue, and well. Sequins, that I never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever lie. EVER. Got it? Good.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />To continue... well, I'm pretty much in love with sequins. But I've been in love with them for such a long time. Since the start of summer when maybe just ONE designer, I'm not sure who, had like. A shirt completely adorned with sequins. It was amour at first sight.<br /><br />And now, since fall is seriously here, as in IN-YOUR-FACE here, designers are whipping out trends quicker than you can even utter to yourself "j'adore". And a trend that is evolving? SEQUINS. sequins, sequins, sequins, sequins! all in there magnicifent glory.<br /><br />But like anything worthwhile, too much is not good.

To remind you all, who are right now probably just lusting over the new Spring Ready-To-Wears [ADAM and Peter Som absolutely owned it!] think back to Fall 09.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBrD-rj6en4fBI-6_VAYC3mxHou33TZJvjO67d4vV2pMmR17i7nk2wwzYyw7RYtMogXlzF5Jm7-LQ86BZiaDSvVoEPR6T424y9GorCBGrfQvOvRoMLeBjzS1JCtkAgzJEffJ4OqVbQUhc/s400/louis6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 219px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBrD-rj6en4fBI-6_VAYC3mxHou33TZJvjO67d4vV2pMmR17i7nk2wwzYyw7RYtMogXlzF5Jm7-LQ86BZiaDSvVoEPR6T424y9GorCBGrfQvOvRoMLeBjzS1JCtkAgzJEffJ4OqVbQUhc/s400/louis6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcaVagYX6djRcpiVrHSs-Dqh-0-gWpP5kHPOECytdq0KwLbb_PbMni6dXly3SthaQd6sTij8dXP1e1bv729ryAymEeycRvavmw-ZUzEQ5kDaP55Y52v7BQsjzzfk2hcBkTmki_1enHMQ/s400/louis.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcaVagYX6djRcpiVrHSs-Dqh-0-gWpP5kHPOECytdq0KwLbb_PbMni6dXly3SthaQd6sTij8dXP1e1bv729ryAymEeycRvavmw-ZUzEQ5kDaP55Y52v7BQsjzzfk2hcBkTmki_1enHMQ/s400/louis.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincRMgu6NDY3feRAXluh-azs_DxcB4Nk2xqZ-5BitXm2Q1be6AeOO517ERPRzyHlPx5EwSA5tFYUz73VtTK3asDcjgF1gQOSn-n7L2Q4vDnAvVleQLIkwtCthkoY5sV3B_QAjRftfJWlc/s400/louis4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincRMgu6NDY3feRAXluh-azs_DxcB4Nk2xqZ-5BitXm2Q1be6AeOO517ERPRzyHlPx5EwSA5tFYUz73VtTK3asDcjgF1gQOSn-n7L2Q4vDnAvVleQLIkwtCthkoY5sV3B_QAjRftfJWlc/s400/louis4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJGOOdIWNYOspyItvaPVUQk8wNvY_qQu88_j9MDxmBZqoE0TPZKuXTJxcsNAPyVMt9OLJ647qQZIgFY1i5yY2gZZdkUKerf8cRqcc1Fz6bhjHR1Z2Wyi-yFVOwEnNzOeMNoQqk0IKbCU/s400/louis30.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJGOOdIWNYOspyItvaPVUQk8wNvY_qQu88_j9MDxmBZqoE0TPZKuXTJxcsNAPyVMt9OLJ647qQZIgFY1i5yY2gZZdkUKerf8cRqcc1Fz6bhjHR1Z2Wyi-yFVOwEnNzOeMNoQqk0IKbCU/s400/louis30.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclzWsTikMDw9xOSS2Q66ao8ZJt9CTMZ54ikTITkWHvN6dhRw4xgsNxNKHlWl8Rbv6J0El_hYsI3K-2EOu4MxDskOhtptJBWTrvgmjw3wkdYhjvocHztkVQHObHHDT9OmGhJS58SNbQ58/s400/louis18.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclzWsTikMDw9xOSS2Q66ao8ZJt9CTMZ54ikTITkWHvN6dhRw4xgsNxNKHlWl8Rbv6J0El_hYsI3K-2EOu4MxDskOhtptJBWTrvgmjw3wkdYhjvocHztkVQHObHHDT9OmGhJS58SNbQ58/s400/louis18.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The playfullness works wonders for an otherwise super sophisticated fashion house, but every single outfit is tied together and just..

But sadly, that is not the case here. In fact, we just had a about 2 1/2 months of summer break. Away from the stressful school days, cramming for the unnecessary tests, overflowing drama, and stinky gym locker rooms. I hope all of you readers had a very enjoyable summer!<br /><br />But school isn't a one-hundred percent bad thing. Everyone has been busy like a bee, going shopping for things! A school bag, some shiny lip gloss, and a hot dress for homecoming. (If you're in high school, that is.)<br /><br />But just in case you aren't Chanel Iman, and you do have the occasional slip-up, just keep on reading for ways to tackle tricky situations, mostly at school.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue: What the heck am I wearing on the first day of school?!</span><br />Answer: Don't worry. If you haven't started yet, keep it comfy, cool, and sweet. Try a tank top tucked into a nice pair of shorts, with a light cardigan. Or, a pair of denim destroyed shorts with a J. Crew top. It's all about <span style="font-style: italic;">you</span> this time!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue: UHHH. Make up help, please?</span><br />Answer: Just keep it simple. I can't stress how skanky and bad it looks when yo ucake on the eyeliner, like all the girls at my school do. Why not something nicer? A neutral eyeshadow, with some mascara, blush, and lip gloss will do. No need to take out the false eyelashes, <span style="font-style: italic;">non</span>?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue: I have a party/dance/FNO. What to wear?</span><br />Answer: For the dressier ones, wear a glam dress. Forever 21 cocktail dresses are great for this. Add a cardigan if needed, and a pair of flats to dance the night away. Or socialize, for that matter! If you're going to a less formal ocacasion, try a pair of cropped jeans that are below the knee, but not full length. It does get awfully hot at these places. A simple tee works. Dress it up with some bangles. I wouldn't recommend necklaces, though, because they can get <span style="font-style: italic;">tres</span> annoying when dancing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue: I. Spilled. Sauce. On. My. Shirt.</span><br />Answer: For the year, try keeping a spare shirt in your locker. Make it something basic, like a plain pink tee. You could also use a hoodie for the longer months, although I'm not a huge fan of the look of them. Work the minimalist look, girl.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue: I have 3 tests, tomorrow, a quiz today, and a huge essay to finish. Help!</span><br />Answer: Work a little bit of each thing. Write a paragraph, study five pages from your text book, and then answer some prep questions. When you feel like you can't do any more, go drink something warm and calming. Then, get started again. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Issue: I'm just not happy with my... social life.</span><br />Answer: Think of Blair Waldorf. Not only is she one of the most popular girls in the entire city, she has outstanding grades and is involved in many extra-curricular activities that will benefit her in the long run. Grades are important, but it's also important to have friends. If you're not the most popular girl in school, it doesn't matter. As long as you're happy with your friends, life is good. If you want to make friends, just be nice to everyone! Giving a compliment also doesn't hurt, and help them when they need it. Just please don't be a suck-up. No one likes a suck-up.<br /><br />Hope your school year is simply fabulous!<br /><br />xx Francesca.Francescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15285977930228222929noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856215095002786113.post-28418276488063033682009-09-03T13:08:00.003-04:002009-09-03T13:20:15.532-04:00Marsey, a Vogue Intern<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blogue.us/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vogue-furever-promotion.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 478px; height: 637px;" src="http://blogue.us/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vogue-furever-promotion.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Let me introduce Marsey.<br />She's a fabulous 18 year old currently residing on the Upper East Side.<br />She interns for Vogue, and will be attending Parsons School of Design in the fall. (Keep in mind.. alumni include Marc Jacobs, Sophia Buahi, Lisa Mayock, Derek Lam, Narciso Rodriguez, and many more...) But really. Working in the same office as the people who make and create Vogue every month (ANNA!) is quite amazing. Lets give it up for Marsey!<br /><br />F- Hey Marsey! Thanks for the interview. Now, I wonder, has fashion always been a dream of yours?<br />M- Fashion has definitely always been my dream. My mom worked in the industry and I grew up around it... so it's only natural that I would get drawn in by the industry. I remember drawing up crazy sketches when I was little and going through my mom's closet, putting myself in gowns that were way to big for me lol. I knew at a very young age that fashion was what I wanted... and I was determined to get it.<br />F- I can relate. How did you apply for your Vogue internship?<br />M- I sent in my resume and was really excited when I got my interview. I guess I impressed the interviewer and later, I got a call telling me that I got the job.<br />F- Fab! Now tell us, what does a typical day look like for you?<br />M- A typical day? It's really tiring lol. In the morning, I do the coffee runs... then throughout the day, I organize the Vogue closet, pack samples for photo shoots, and steam A LOT of clothes lol.<br />F- Many girls would still die for anything Vogue! Hehe. What about Anna Wintour. Have you met her?<br />M- I have met Anna but I've never had a heart to heart conversation with her. When you're working in an atmosphere like Vogue, everyone's always busy and always running all over the place. I've never had the opportunity to really talk to her... but I hope one day I will.<br />F- So do we. What about the movie coming out soon?<br />M- I personally can't wait for the movie... I think it's a great reflection of how the magazine industry really works.<br />F- Neither can I. Back to you, what are your future dreams?<br />M- You know, I don't know my future dreams yet. I've never been the type of person who planned out her entire future... I guess I'll see where destiny takes me. Hopefully, I'll stay in the fashion industry and actually get a paying job that I love. We'll see...<br />F- Hopefully at Vogue? (; What are some of your favorite trends or items for fall?<br />M- I love this question haha. I'm a big fan of ankle boots right now... I think they would come in handy in the fall. Also leather jacket... I love leather jackets, especially paired with a feminine dress. I just love to roughness aspect it offers.<br />F- Agreed! I adore the juxtaposition theme. Can you describe your style to us, and favorite designers?<br />M- My style... that's a hard one. I have a uptown style but mixed with a downtown vibe. I love wearing vintage and adding some modern pieces to it. I just love to mix and match... i would say that I have a feminine style but it's rough around the edges. My favorite designers are Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, YSL, and Rag and Bone .<br />F- Sounds tres chic! Now, do you have advice for young fashionistas?<br />M- I don't know if my advice will help lol but i think it's really important to have fun with fashion. I think when you love it and when you enjoy it, it will show. So instead of worrying about going into the industry and finding a job that involves fashion, just have fun with it. When you have fun with it, the opportunities will naturally come. Hope these answers are good :)<br />F- Thanks so much for you words of wisdom, Marsey. Good luck!<br /><br />That's it for today, readers.<br /><br />Marsey also has her own blog.

Luck duck. You see, I think I have the most troubled feet and luck in the world. I rarely find shoes that fit well. I am about a size 6, but my feet wide. I know, I know, Nordstrom has that shoe size service, but I've never bought shoes online. I'm too worried.<br /><br />So right now, I'm dreaming about some FAB fall boots that might actually fit me!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=8031434"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=8031434" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Tory Burch Reva leopard-print flats, $225 at <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/48184?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Tory+Burch-_-Flats&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-IP0D2qxYgO2TFX1iR00cmQ">N</a><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/48184?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Tory+Burch-_-Flats&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-IP0D2qxYgO2TFX1iR00cmQ">et-A-Porter.</a><br />Fabulous designed. I have had my eye on these since forever, in this glam print and a basic gold. The shoes are pretty versatile, and can be worn with many things during this fall. A good investment? I hope!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=8448249"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=8448249" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Chloé<span style="font-size:100%;"> flat leather boots</span>, $900 at <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/48245?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Chloe-_-Boots&siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-JIk1aDzqeeKvNI7WaHsJ5g">Net-A-Porter</a>.<br />I really love the riding boots style. They look so chic, so sophisticated, so mature. Plus, really fab! I can rock them with jeans. Consider them the UGGs of fall.<br /><br />Sorry for the short post!<br /><br />MUAH!<br />xo FrancescaFrancescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15285977930228222929noreply@blogger.com4
