Different is good!

I like how different designers bring different things to the table. Like Herve Leger and Vassilios Kostetsos. Because you have everything. Even something from out of the blue. I liked it.

Words to live by

I really like fashion because it is a chance to be creative, no one can judge you because it’s your special voice.

Whenever someone tells me it’s over the top or weird, I take it as a compliment. I love making things that are out of the box because it’s my signature look and I think it’s just o.k. I hope I can inspire people someday when I am older.

I love FASHION!!!!

I love fashion because it gives you something to really think about and it brings out your style and you learn to get inspired. What I don’t like is that people copy your style and put inappropriate pictures in magazines. (Enough said!)

I love fashion because it is creative!!! I agree with Carly-people should not be naked!

Cute tops

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:50:40 +0000

Style Sanctum fans are looking for sexy tops that are not overdone. Tops that don’t look as if they need altering, and tops for girls who, well, have plenty of TOPS! Let’s see if any of these tops from some of our favorite retailers fit the bill…

Topshop’s Premium Sequin Butterfly top. Awesome with jeans, denim or yummy with white ones or for an evening out on the town with white wide leg pants!

$135.00, topshop.com

Great for a full bust. (The vneck reveals a bit of skin which takes the viewer’s eyes away from the girls). Great with jeans, pants. May be a bit too hookerish if worn with a skirt. Everything in moderation.

$69.00, topshop.com

Sexy, without being overdone and we LOVE the color! Long tops visually elongate the torso, and make you look long and lean and this top also just looks comfy!

$80.00, Frenchconnection.com

YOOX, one of our favorite designer discount sites has plenty of brilliant tops for 70% off! Check them out, some as low as $29.00 and so, please feel free to purchase one for me!

xoxo!

Alexander McQueen, 1969-2010

Fashion week starts with a big loss for the fashion world as Alexander McQueen died on February 11, 2010. :-(. I think Lady Gaga is sad, as she just lost her designer for her shoes.

Pressure

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 15:53:48 +0000

Alexander McQueen was an inspiration to many people. He was also a fashion Hero. His collections were so different and everyone loved them.

When I heard Alexander McQueen died on the first day of fashion week, I immediately started to get really upset. It made me start to feel like I was going to cry. I felt so bad that he was under all of that pressure.
