It had to be you *AND Links a la Mode*

Wearing: ASOS Breton stripe shirt
Forever New black pouf skirt
Pink Bow headband from my wee days

Deep fuchsia Aldo mini handbag

Black Charles and Keith zipper booties

Black leather Promod jacket

My favorites at NYFW so far are: Richard Chai, Betsey Johnson, Cynthia Steffe, Rad Hourani, Preen, Yigal Azrouel, Thakoon, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Catherine Melandrino, Herve Leger, DVF, Zac Posen and Prabal Gurung.

Yes, A Wang is missing from the list which is extremely bizarre for me. I just wasn't a fan this season. I admire him for his guerrilla business tactics, especially for T by A Wang, but apart from 6-7 looks, I wasn't feeling it this season.

What do you think? Sorry for the extremely short, exceedingly lame post but I'm too depressed about not being at NYFW and having to give exams so excuse my silliness and this monotonous post. But I'll be catching whatever's available by livestream, MJ was inspired, especially the unexpected music.

I still love you!

PS- Vogue US, too has jumped on the Let's Use Bloggers as a Marketing Tactic bandwagon. The March "Power Issue" with Tina Fey in Prada on the cover, reportedly large issue, second only to the infamous September issue is going to have a feature, a shoot, at that on bloggers including Michelle Pham, BryanBoy, Tommy Ton of Jak&Jil, Tom Selby, etc. I'm definitely going to buy this one, as are countless others. Vogue has finally caught on and bought some brains.

I was on Links a la Mode for the second time in two weeks!

Any friends who you'd like to recommend? Somebody who could illustrate a kickass header? Anything? Tips, tips, tips!
