Looks

I am becoming so tired of school. It feels so unrewarding sometimes, it is actually kind of distressing. I work so hard and I know I am working towards a goal but I still feel like it is all pointless. Nothing relaxes me more than coming home sitting down with a nice cup of tea and reading a fashion magazine or a blog. I was flipping through style.com and I have made a compilation of my favorite runway looks.

What fall trneds will you be trying?

Trends can be very tricky. Constantly going in and out of fashion but all trends return at one point or another. There are even some trends that reoccur every fashion week. When I am choosing a trend that I want to incorporate into my wardrobe I have three specific rules.
1. Is it realistic for the climate I live in?
2. Will I be able to wear it continuously for the next few years.
3. Does it tie into my personal style and aesthetic.
Here are the fall/Winter trends I am dying to try.

You want a shirt that drapes over your figure flattering your body while draping and hugging your body in flattering areas. I myself have only found two shirts so far that do this for me. One in peach and one in white and I am on a constant search for more because they are a crucial element to anyone's wardrobe. Mine are from J-crew but here are a few examples of beautiful silk shirts,
