I'm just not enchanted with this blog anymore.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking of making a new one.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned. I'm not out, just figuring out my next move.Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04129980940386612021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761874948827813636.post-74376260399854136752012-06-23T15:56:00.002-04:002012-06-23T15:56:10.607-04:00iamOTHER<br />

<br />
Needless to say, I've had some time on my hands since getting out of school. I've been occupying myself through TV, tumblr, working out, and YouTube. And boy, oh boy, YouTube is a gold mine. Not that I didn't know of people like Michelle Phan or AndreasChoice, but it is the very first time I actually took a look at the style & lifestyle. And I found one of the biggest gems of all, iamOTHER by Pharrell Williams.<br />
<br />
You all know how big a fan I am of Pharrell Williams and his projects. <span style="background-color: white;">And well, he's done it again, ladies and gentlemen. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The man is just a creative genius and this pet project of his, a video channel to highlight those OTHER ideas, is just as brilliant as his other ideas. Built up of a conglomerate of shows, from Issa Rae's brilliant brainchild "The MisAdventures of an Awkward Black Girl" (I love this show way too much) to "Others" by Hypebeast to StereoTypes hosted by Rae, this channel is sublimely interesting and inspiring. Check it out below! (<b>Also, beware, there might be some coarse language in these videos.)</b></span><br />

Plain and Simple, Pharrell did a great job with this channel. It's well done, informative and nice to look at. Question is, did you like it as much as I do? <b><i>Tell me in the comments</i></b>!Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04129980940386612021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761874948827813636.post-26907540379905969072012-06-09T14:10:00.000-04:002012-06-09T14:10:47.939-04:00My New Old Obsession<br />

My New Old Obsession isn't a shoe, a designer, or even a person. It's the website Polyvore. I don't know why but I just up and decided to make a set one day as the boredom overcame me. The last thing I expected to be was entertained. The website has been revamped to the point where the sets anyone makes can look professional. And I'm entranced. I've spent my days and some nights actually making sets. I'm beginning to get really good at this. I wanted to share some of my favorites with you guys, before I make more and can't choose.<br />
I've also found that I really like muted neutral color palettes, with pops of color for that for this summer. But what do you guys think of these sets? Tell me in the comments!<br />

And as always, I'm apologizing profusely. With this being my senior year, I am seriously just trying to get out of school with my head above water. That's all really. Right now, my spring break is dwindling in it's last hours and the sound of Camp Lo and Frank Sinatra are currently blasting from my computer speakers. But more on that on Tumblr. As of right now, I am here to service your sartorial needs and wants.<br />
A well known fact about me is that I am a serious wanderlust. I love travel, always have. New places, new people, new experiences; it all excites me. But one of the ever present DRAGS of travelling is packing. Having to pack ONE bag just truly throws me. I either end up over packing or under packing. If you are anything like me, you'll take any type of tip from the pros of the JetSet. And that's what this video is all about. Created by MrPorter.com, this video is filled with nothing but men (primarily with accents) talking about how they streamline packing. From a technical standpoint, this video is incredible. But just my opinion. What do you think of it?<br />

Really and truly magical. There is so much to see. It's really and truly beautiful. My shots barely does it all justice. But anyway, enjoy the shots above and I hope you guys are enjoying your New Year. I wish you all the best!</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">You see, I've been really good this year. I'm even trying to update my blog more! Unfortunately due to the set back of school and a couple of thieves stealing my phone and camera and me only receiving my phone back, I'm not so much adhering to the updating schedule. But, I'm trying. That counts right?? So I just have a small list of things that would please me to see under my tree:</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> </span>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Ksubi Sun/Eye Glasses</b> (Styles shown: "Lyra" of the Book Club Collection, "Matar" of the Eye, Eye Collection and "Sham" of the Ad Astra Per Aspera Collection)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ksubi.com/images/gallery/book-club/lyra4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.ksubi.com/images/gallery/book-club/lyra4.jpg" width="281" /><img height="400" src="http://www.ksubi.com/images/gallery/eye-eye/ksubi_eye11_opt_matar.jpg" width="280" /> <img height="400" src="http://www.ksubi.com/images/gallery/as-astra-per-aspera/KsubiEye12_Lo_04.jpg" width="280" /></a></div>
<br />
This find was the result of late night tumblr. Based in Australia, a group of surfer designers make this amazing clothing line called Ksubi. Although known for their denim, their accessories are NOT to be overlooked. I think their sunglasses rival that of Ray Bans, just because these are worn by those who want to stand apart. For that quality, these glasses make it on my Christmas list. Not that I could get them, mostly because they don't sell in America and I can't find an online retailer that sell these specific glasses. So I'll just look at the images and sigh with lust.<br />
<br />
<b>ADN by Adeen Chomp Snapback</b><br />
<div>
<img height="536" src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/dqyjv.ejhee/v/vspfiles/photos/ADN007-2.jpg?1316516419" width="640" /><br />
Seriously, I am disenchanted by almost all snapbacks. Except this one. It's entirely different than most. Created by Rembrandt Duran, this ADN by ADEEN snapback boasts TEETH, making it absolutely more fierce than the rest. Priced at $180, the hat speaks volumes for style and originality. I mean, who sees snapbacks like this where they're from (unless of course you live in NYC or Japan)? No one. Reason I want it SO bad.<br />
<br />
<b>Pretty Little Liars Season 1 DVD</b><br />
<img alt="Click to view full size image" src="http://prettylittleliars.us/photos/albums/The%20Show/Season%201/Promos/Set%2003/normal_01.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I cannot explain my utter obsession with this series. I freak out EVERY time it comes on. Maybe it's the plot (can't resist a good mystery!). It could be the characters (Hanna and Spencer are BY far my favorite...). Or it could be the AMAZING style... Four completely different girls, Four completely different styles, four amazing wardrobes. The fan favorite is Aria, whose boho cool strikes immediately, but it doesn't mean that Hanna's sexy glam or Spencer's preppy polish is to be ignored. Well whatever it is that draws everyone to the show, it's a collassal hit. And I for one, love it. Beware, this isn't the last time I'm going to write about it...<br />
<br />
<b>Copic Markers</b><br />
<br />
See, THIS is what I'm asking for. Just in necessary colors. At $8 a marker, they're truly not the cheapest art supplies around. But they are something like the Rolls Royce of art supplies, so to polish off my portfolio, they might be necessary.<br />
<br />
<b>Sam Edelman Heels</b><br />

Alright, before you guys judge me for being a hypebeast, I seriously loved Sam Edelman before the hype of the Lorissas even though I love them STILL. He does spikes SO well, it's crazy. I could wear these like I wear sneakers... EVERYDAY. Sigh, but alas, they are unpractical (not that I truly care), but yes, they are. So I'll just sigh and look at them.<br />
<br />
That's pretty much my list. Oh and <b>admission into FIT (which is at the VERY top of my list)</b> *says small prayer*.<br />
<br />
That wasn't so bad was it? I tried to simplify it and put ONLY the really wanted items on there. But that's all folks! Until next time! <br />

Gosh, I would love to know the production company of this video... It's perfect. From a technical point of view, a visual point of view, everything. And I would know. Not because I'm a critic but because of my background in Video Production, which I'll tell you guys about someday. But today is not that day. Therefore I digress...<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This video is focused on the greatly talented Ryan Leslie. If you are unfamiliar with Ryan Leslie and his works, he's a producer/singer/songwriter/writer/amazing creative soul. In the video above, he poses a question: <i>What would you do if it was your last day on earth?</i> And he wastes no time showing the audience what he would be doing: Concocting a song in front of our eyes, a song he calls "A Beautiful Lie". The song itself is really good (not that any given Ryan Leslie song isn't good) and altogether the visual inspires. At least, it inspired me to do what I love MORE so that I can achieve true happiness.<b> What does this video say to you? Tell me below in the comments.</b></div>

It is officially FALL. You know how I know? No, it's not the falling leaves (there aren't falling in Georgia yet), it's not the cold (I'm a born New Yorker, the worst is around 69 as a high), it's not the lonely tweets on Twitter (for some reason, most people in the US get lonely when the weather turns cold and such is the birth of "cuffin season" and they use Twitter to express it), nor is it the fact that everybody is starting to bundle up. Want to know how I know it's officially fall?<br />

It's because it's <b>HOMECOMING WEEK!</b></div>
For all who don't know what that is, Homecoming is a huge event in high schools and colleges, built around the football games. This is the week when everyone chooses to show their school spirit and there are themed days meant to express your school spirit. Monday's theme was TWIN day and although I didn't completely adhere to the rules (I was a triplet!), I think I showed my school spirit really well. My good friend decided that the twin code was a white blouse, black pencil skirt and black heels. I had to improvise, not having a black pencil skirt, due to my ferocious hate for skirts in general. Using a old dress, I folded it in half and was really surprised to see that it worked out well. But, I hope to have looks for the rest of the week for you guys, as everyday a new challenge is presented... And I plan to meet them with style...<br />
<br />
P.S. The pictures are limited because my camera continually died on me as I was taking them... I think I got all the good ones. But YOU guys JUDGE! Comment below and tell me what you think!<br />

It's coming quick. Fall, I mean. Summer is running away and we can't capture it. I miss it. :( But, now that it's fall. Autumn, such a beautiful time. Leaves falling, beautiful scenery to look at. I've had to adjust my wardrobe into fall mode, a change I don't mind, but I do wish that it was summer still. Possibly because of the amazing summer I had. But that's another story and another post. I digress. This outfit was based largely on the jacket. It's actually my brother's, but he was trying to give it away so I rescued it from the pile and made it my own. I had to belt it to get it to fit, but other than that, it's a really good jacket (although I am taking it to the tailor to get more fitted in the waist). I wore it with a thermal, my skinny cargos, and gold kicks.<br />
P.S. I looked really mean in the majority of these pictures and it was truly hard to choose pictures. So that's why there's so little.Dreamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04129980940386612021noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761874948827813636.post-58346249646709113812011-09-08T23:05:00.005-04:002011-09-08T23:06:53.524-04:00Introducing...

Today is the most exciting day of the year! It's the start of NYFW!!!! Unfortunately, I'm not there to celebrate FNO (which makes me REALLY REALLY REALLY sad) but... I CAN find ways to celebrate on my own, like today's outfit. This outfit is centered around my amazing hat that I love so much, I had to name it. Her name is Doris Audrey Marilyn, named for the old time feel I get when I wear "her", if you wondered. But anyways, the hat was a HUGE hit. Every time I turned around, someone was complimenting it and/or trying it on... including the guys (I even think my sociology teacher tried it own... Although he denies it vehemently). And Doris could go without some other classic pieces, so I paired it with a peacoat and my flats (that I'm starting to notice, I wear too often).<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and I don't know if you guys noticed, but this is my first time shooting in black and white. I think I did really well. But you tell me! How did I do?<b> Do you like the photos? Leave a comment and tell me! </b></div>

Art inspires art. At least, that's what I believe. As an aspiring fashion designer, I draw inspiration from many, many places, including but not limited to ancient works of art, photography, writings, and just overall culture. And culture is something that R+ I Creative does best. R + I Creative is a video production company that does some of the best visually simulating, interesting documentaries around. From "Influencers", a short documentary that explores the origin of trends and their creators, to "The Pursuit of Cool", an exploration of the definition of cool, R + I Creative produces videos that inspire. Enjoy!<div>

This video... I usually don't blog videos (excluding the ones on Tumblr), but this video was so compelling and inspiring and fun, I decided I couldn't deprive my readers of this. Put on by Palladium Boots and hosted by Pharrell Williams, the six part series of short documentaries are focused on the multifaceted Japanese culture, where they discuss topics from their recent disasters, to their art, fashion, and overall culture. I viewed these in a sense of awe, awe of the depth of the Japanese people. Such a fascinating culture! After seeing these videos, I am incredibly inspired and feening (more than usual) to visit Japan to actually experience this incredible culture myself.<br />

School is starting to heat up... The assignments have begun to pour in... Albeit slowly, but you can definitely feel the feeling of a carefree summer slipping through our fingertips... But I digress. It's time to shape our futures and I have to play Michelangelo... This outfit was an attempt to look professional in the hot weather and I think I did a pretty good job, under the circumstances. The turban is something I threw on for trend busting purposes. I'm officially sold!!! This location in my pictures isn't new, it's the lawn of my backyard. I was eaten ALIVE by the bugs and my neighbor's dogs were oddly interested. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed, Leave a comment and let me know!<br />

Such a short summer break to me, but in order to move on we have to do things we don't want to do. Like go back to school. We're a week in so far and I'm hoping that it shapes up to me a very successful semester... Grades and fashion wise. But anyways, back to the school outfit. This is something that reminds me of my city adventures, definitely something I'd wear in NYC. The outfit is my very trusty blazer, a striped shirt from Old Navy, Shorts from GAP and my very old scuffed up trusty flats. Alright, hope you all enjoyed! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Ehh!! I'm so sorry!!! I've been meaning to update, but last week I was so busy! Well first off, can we notice the new blog layout! I didn't change much but I had to white wash it. It felt busy, even to me! Hope you guys enjoy! But anyways, as I mentioned in my last post, I'm finally at FIT!!! I'm taking Fashion Art for Fashion Designers. And I love it. I can tell I WILL be happy in the future doing this. Ah, it's all been so surreal. Unfortunately, I have no pictures except the ones I took from my phone. I didn't take any pictures of my outfits, but I will take pictures of the ones in the future. I feel like I'm overusing exclamation points... But I digress, look at the pretty pictures I tried to take! Enjoy!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">As you can see by this set, I'm wishing for an ALL WHITE summer. If you follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/DreamMcClinton">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://theluxuryaddict.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a>, I've actually been saying this for the longest time. All White, all the time.</span></div>
Woohoo! I survived my junior year of high school! It wasn't easy, let me tell you. There were definitely some moments I had to mutter "High School is just a means to an end" and certainly some "Girl, hold me back!"'s, but I did it! I came home dancing, ready to celebrate. Because I'm a senior now!! Woohoo! One more year! And you think I'd be spending my last summer of true freedom doing something productive, but instead I'm camped up at my house, which isn't right. But believe me, I've got BIG things planned! From FIT summer programs to the hitting the pavement in NYC, I will be more than occupied with life. And I can't wait. Bare with me now, strap yourselves in, and keep all arms and legs inside the seat at all times because we're in for a wild ride...<br />
Hearts Hugs and Lots of Love,<br />

P.S. Sorry this post was so late. I've been out since May, I just been REALLY REALLY REALLY lazy. And I'm sorry for that. Oh and the set I made DID NOT look like that originally.

Sorry, I've been absent. Only 6 more weeks left for school and it's getting down to the wire. Right now, I'm trying to get my summer plans right, decide which colleges to apply to, learning how to drive and still focusing on school. Being a junior is SOOO much stress. Luckily, I have the principles of Taoism, brought to me by "The Tao of Pooh", and the songs of Corinne Bailey Rae to keep me sane.<br />
This photo shoot was actually particularly hard because of the 88 degree weather that day and the fact that my neighbor was actually making fun of me posing during the entire shoot. So there's really not as many photos as I'd like, but I did get some goood shots. Enjoy!

I'm back!!!! This week has been SOOO exhausting. I've been taking the high school graduation exams, which I need to pass in order to earn my diploma. I've been studying everyday and every night after track practice. We finished testing on Thursday and sometime during the week (Don't remember which day, they all seemed to run together) I decided that I reward myself by letting out my legs and wearing a skirt. When it comes to skirts, I have a sort of uniform thing that occurs, with a white shirt and the black skirt. On occasion I switch it up, but then again I wasn't as tired then. Also, this was my first self photoshoot, meaning I had to figure out how to use the self timer and whatnot. I think I did a really good job, considering... But anyway, enjoy!!!!!!!!!! And please comment!!<br />

So today was rather eventful and it was AMAZING!!! My mom and I had a day out of the house, while my brother and his friends sat in the house playing COD (which I don't understand because the weather was gorgeous, 85 DEGREES!!). I was feeling a bit different, and decided to put some sort of effort into my look. At first, we ran a few errands, which included grocery shopping. But then, we ventured onto the lower part of the county and went to Chipotle (a restaurant I've never been to). And with the mall just down the street, I had to ask!!!! I didn't buy anything, because I'm so broke I can barely afford to pay attention. In the end, we went window shopping and went home. But anyways, my mommy and me day was amazing!!!!!!<br />

This is completely non fashion related. Or maybe it is-- To have a sense of style, you need to have a sense of confidence. And let's be honest, everyday might not inspire confidence in you. There are certain days when you wake with a flaw you believe everyone notices. This is for these days.</div>

But anyways, my post aren't dedicated to those items. I set aside some time to read a book I've had mentally bookmarked for awhile, Influence by fashion's favorite twins, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Influence is the Olsen's collection of interviews of people who influence them. The interviews include MANY legends, such as the always forward, Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Terry Richardson and soo many others, including the twins themselves. The book is organized between the two sections: a more glamorous section with glossy pages and one with more egdier people and less glossy pages, whixh is supposed to symbolize the difference between the two twins. Anyways I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Packed full of inspiring images, the book is a slam dunk from the people interviewed, to the questions asked and the reponses. They twins also helped with the important quotes that you may want to put on your personal inspirational board, including "Real Creativity is being true to yourself and getting people to go with you. That's Influence"-- Bob Colacello. And it's not only fashion, in the back after the conclusion, they include a list of charities that anyone with a conscience should give back to. After all, "To be able to have it all, you have to be able to give back"--Diane von Furstenberg.</div>

Seriously, though, I really do like coats. Coats are my favorite article of clothing. Don't ask me why, because I don't know. I think I get it from my mom. But I digress. So during the After- Christmas sales, my eyes feasted on this beautiful Forever21 black tweed coat. For months, I wanted something like this. However, with only a limited amount of money, I ventured to H&M first to be sure. There at H&M, I saw another coat that completely made me happy. A Houndstooth classic cut that made my mouth water. And it had the red tag that said "50% off." I tried it on and truly just fell in love. It just looked like quality.<br />

But, in the midst of all my happiness, I left behind my beloved Forever21 coat. That, and we had to go pick up my vain cousin at the nail salon. But back to the story. Two weeks pass and I really can't stop thinking about the other coat. So when I finally return to the mall, I get super excited and jet down to Forever21. I scour the store twice, before asking a sales associate about the coat. She show the rack to me and lo and behold IT'S THERE!!! And it was the last one, in my size too!!!! *sigh of relief*<br />

About a week ago, I did something completely uncharacteristic of me-- cleaned out my closet. I really don't like to clean because I find it tedious. But for the longest time, I've been saying that I have nothing to wear, despite a closet AND armoire full of clothes. I got so tired of shuffling through clothes and being late for school. And I've been late a lot (12 times last semester). And in the end, I just decided it would be more beneficial to do clean. <br />

Anyways, I started by just taking out all the things I knew I didn't wear. All of it. I spent about 45 minutes pulling out all the clothes I knew couldn't fit. Then I took out clothes that fit but weren't exactly my style anymore. Of course, it ended up covering my entire floor, so be a bit more organized (and to truly see the mess), I folded all the clothes. And it was a lot.<br />

I also discovered a bunch of things that, once upon a time, I loved. For example, there was this Koie Cinderella purse. Black, pink, and a princess motif?? Sign me up! Bought at Marshall's for I think $20 when I was young, I loved it. I carried it on planes as my carryon. I carried it on long car rides to my grandma's as an activity bag. I carried it EVERYWHERE. But alas, it was cheap and of less-than-stellar quality. And so it slowly started falling apart in my hands. First, the slipper on the side started to peel, until it fell off all together. But yet, I still carried it around like a baby. Then the other side began to peel and I had to let it go. It was living a sad existence at the bottom of a bin in my closet.<br />

Other articles of clothing I had broken up with: Old Navy Jeans I really liked in the store and got for Christmas in the sixth grade, my Ralph Lauren pink and green striped halter dress, my yellow and blue floral patterned kimono top and SO many other things. But I digress. Back to the cleaning.<br />

I folded up all the clothes that I chose would remain and put them back neatly in my armoire. I took out so many clothes, I had an entire drawer left without any clothes!! You'd be surprised what purging some ill-fitting clothes can do to maximize your storage space...<br />

First, I would like to say "Happy New Years!". I celebrated it in church with my family. I don't know what it is about this year but it feels special. I don't believe in "New Year's Resolutions". I consider them cliche and whatnot. But I do have high hopes, so consider this my To-Do List. So here goes:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Try to dress up more</strong>. <em>Life is too short to stay in sweatpants all the time</em>.</li>
<li><strong>Wear more nail polish</strong>. <em>Sure, I wear it, but I usually don't bother because I have no time</em>.</li>

<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Be more charitable</strong>.<em> I cleaned out my closet for New Year's (it's tradition to clean your entire house top to bottom in order to bless your house with a fresh start), which I have never done. I discovered A LOT of junk from SO long ago. I'm donating to charity, because I'm not using it. </em></li>

<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Don't let <u>ANYTHING</u> restrict me from reaching my dreams</strong>. <em>It's not the year to give up</em>.</li>

It's time to get up and do what you love and do it often. How else are you going to reach your dreams????</em></li>
