Denim Mini

 A lot has happened since I last blogged, I got a big girl job! Yes, my first big girl, 40 hours a week, real after college job. I start this upcoming Monday, I am so nervous!! Everything is about to change. I am no longer allowed to be that lazy person who lays in bed all day watching Netflix and eating breakfast tacos off of my stomach. I won't be able to take naps and do whatever I feel like throughout the day. I have responsibilities now, which is really weird to think about. My first big girl job is a job that I am really looking forward to, one I worked hard to get, but it's not in fashion. I spent so much time interviewing for fashion companies in New York, including Nylon Magazine and Cynthia Rowley, but I made the decision to stay in Austin for a while and save up money before I pick up my entire life and move to a city that is extremely hard to afford. Eventually I am going to accept a job in fashion and move, but when I am more financially prepared for it. I am so happy to stay in Austin for a while longer with my boyfriend and my family and good money. I decided that I am also going to keep my part time styling job, because I just can't bring myself to part ways. I will always have my foot in the fashion door, no matter what. But this means very long days for me. During the day I'll be Kelly, Marketing Coordinator and during the night I'll be Kelly, Fashion Stylist. I'll be going straight from my 9 hour work day to night shifts at Free People, and in between all of that I will be blogging like a mad woman. I am terrified, I really hope I can handle all of this. But hey, you can't get where you want by sitting on your ass.

On Friday me and my boyfriend decided to enjoy my last free Friday at Austin's Blanton Museum of Art. It is one of our favorite places in Austin. It's so beautiful and inspiring. Speaking of Inspiring, New York Fashion Week is in full swing and the runway shows have been a HUGE inspiration for me. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see 70's styles on the runway. I have always had a more 70's bohemian fashion sense so seeing this style catch on again makes my heart happy. 

This denim mini skirt brings me straight back to the 70's. I am not even kidding, I have had dozens of middle ages women run up to me and tell me they had this exact skirt when they were growing up in the 70's. My mom freaked out when she saw it, it brought her right back to her childhood. It has actually been pretty awesome to cause nostalgia in so many women. I really hate repeating pieces on my blog, but you will see this skirt again really soon (probably next week) because I just can't seem to take it off.

The Best of London Fashion Week

JW Anderson introduced over-sized hats, elbow length gloves, and strong silhouettes in their SS15 collection. This collection shows off the future of women's work wear: Powerful and fashionable. 

 Marchesa brought fairytales to life in their SS15 collection. Flower prints and flowy princess shapes glided down the runway this season. I know what I am wearing to my next Ball! Now only if I could find a prince charming to take me....

House of Holland has brought back the 60's and it's groovy baby! Ok, that was SO cheesy but I can't help it, I am so in love with these retro prints. 

 Burberry is of course on this list. I had to add extra pictures because this show was the ultimate eye candy. The tulle skirts, printed trenches, and vibrant pops of color have made this the most coveted collection of Spring 2015.

To Pierce or Not To Pierce, That is the Question.

New York Fashion Week has come and gone, as the champagne wears off and the Manolo Blahnik's get tucked away, there is one question still lingering in every woman's mind. To pierce or not to pierce? Rodarte has everyone's head spinning, and it isn't because of his little mermaid inspired pieces (which were fabulous by the way), instead it's because of the serious metal hardware that graced the models faces. The pierced eyebrows. What a genius idea, why didn't we ever think about that?! We never thought of it because it's a freaky thought, but it turns out, what looks bad in all of our heads actually looks amazingly punk rock and chic in real life. They don't take away from the models beauty, but instead they add a bit of an edge to their usual angel faces. In a time where women are standing out and dressing for themselves instead of men, is this an acceptable look? Could this be the next big trend among women? I really hope to see some babes rocking this look soon.
