Finance meets Fashion (kinda)

I am considering a career in finance (along with law, pr, and being a ninja) so when I find news about it AND the fashion world I get all excited (except when I hear about Models and Bottles - ugh and double ugh). 

This picture, however, made me giggle profusely. 

What we see here is the CEO and Chairman of Goldman Sachs, Mr. Lloyd Blankfein, wearing a pair of acid wash denim jeggings. I found this lovely photo and the following information from The Cut.

My first reaction was "WTF? NO WAY!!" And my second reaction was "WHO PHOTOSHOPPED THIS?" And yes, it was photoshopped by The Cut. The people at Goldman think that these will be a hawt selling item for the winter/fall season for all levels of clothing sales (luxury, moderately priced, low priced). If only he would actually wear them. (I hope not. I would die of laughter and I have so much more to experience in life!) Now that would be true sign of dedication to the data findings.

I do not apply to this data because I will not be buying any. I don't think that they are a good look for me. 

What do you think of Jeggings? What do you think of this picture? Are you thinking about working and/or actually working in finance or fashion? Let me know!!!

2. This picture.

Guilt and Gilt

Today before my Financial Accounting class I checked twitter and saw the following...

And I thought - "Oh Yeah! I forgot that Jeffrey Campbell had a Gilt Sale today." 

I am signed up to Gilt, and Ideeli, and Rue La La. I often look to see what they have on sale, but I never actually BUY anything because 

1. I never have enough money

2. When I do have enough money I still cannot justify spending the amount they want me to pay with my meager poor-college-kid money. 

UNTIL TODAY

My heart stopped when I saw these...

First, realize that I have been looking for a pair of unique, almost-my-skin-tone, platformed, close toed, roundish/pointy-ish, heels for FOREVER. This shoe actually met ALL of my qualifications! 

Add THAT with the competitive nature of the website...

You have to click on the item and put it in your cart before someone else. If another person has it, you go on "the Wait List" (<-- ugh...smells like college admissions). If they do not purchase it in 10 minutes, you are alerted that it is available. However, you have to be the first to put it in your cart and buy it in 10 minutes. 

Well, I saw them and clicked on the 10 which became sold out a minute later. However I realized I needed a 9. But there was a wait-list for that. I sat there in AGONY for 3-5 minutes, refreshing the page over and over again until the 9 became bold - and I clicked and I WON! 

Victory, Thy name is shoe!!!! 

I get that in reality, it is not REALLY a contest. However being the one to click, keep the shoe in my cart, and buy the last pair of size 9s just made my inner self-centered Cancer sign and prideful Leo sign (I'm a Cancer/Leo cusp girl alllll the way) grin from ear to ear.

So then I had TWO reasons to justify buying the shoes 1. I wanted shoes like that 2. It's totally (not really) a competition - and I won!!!

Add THAT to the price

The price was slashed from $153 to $69. That's an $84 price drop. Jeffery Campbell is one of my favorite brands that I never buy because they are too expensive and TA-DA, a decently priced pair falls in my lap. 

And then you get my justification for making a purchase on Gilt Group!

I am a little worried that I dropped almost $100, no questions asked, in about 5 minutes. I am also a little worried that I had my card number memorized, which means I have been doing a LOT of online shopping to have that sucker known by heart. And I know I should feel a little guilty at spending this money I should save for books. 

But you know what? 

Guilt. Schmilt. Scottish Kilt!!!!

Do you impulse buy? What items are you on the look out for? Have any great Gilt or other similar website stories? Let me know down below lovelies!!!

A Fancy for Flare

Oh the IRONY that when I finally get my legs a suitable size for skinny jeans the flare jean starts to worm its way into relevancy again. Though skinnies are not even close to being 'out', flare jeans are the new-new style that fashionistas can rock with their noses in the air and with a "I'm-being-a-trend-setter" smile. 

Guess that means I'll have to buy TWO types of jeans for fall. Oh darn. NAWT!

Some ah-mazing and ah-fordable pairs (<--Clique speak. Any The Clique Series fans out there?) 

7 for all Mankind - Ginger (These are in my closet. Got them at a discount denim trunk show from school. Yay!) 

Bullhead Blue Horizon Jeans from PacSun (they have a great buy 2 for $55 sale going on right now)

Hudson Jeans...*drool*. They are SO COMFORTABLE. However, their prices, not comfortable. Meh.

Found this nifty pair at hottopic.com for the reasonable price of $29

Stickin with skinny jeans? Fiddlin around with flares? Have any favorite jean brands? Share!!!

Let me know in the comments below!

It really makes you think...

As much as I want to believe the powerful statement in the picture...it's hard.

These past 20 years on planet Earth have been super fabbity fab fab. But sometimes I do wish I had a time turner (HP reference) to fix things - namely my GPA :P (trust me I did NOT want it to ever be where it is now haha)

But I currently want to see what it would be like being a lawyer and I also want to see what it would be like being an investment banker.

However I don't want to pursue these careers, get heavily involved, realize I hate it, and be stuck and full of regret.

To be honest, I have never really regreted anything I have done - even the slackin off in Japanese and my crackin under the pressure Freshman year of Dook - but I don't want my hard work for a potential career to be my first one.

I bet you are thinking...well, why doesn't she go for her dream career? Dream careers = no regrets.

Yeah...my dream career is to be a ninja. The world doesn't have those anymore. So I'll settle for almost-as-cool alternatives. :P But I'm not 100% on them 

and that worries me.

Anyone out there stressin about future plans? Frettin over regrets? Does anyone work in i-banking or lawyer-ing that can give me some advice so I can stop freeeeeeakin out? Leave a comment and let me knowwww dearies!

Okee dokee - gonna go to my neuroscience homework now!

Stay Cool,

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry...Shawty, Shawty, Shawty, Shawty

Gaaah!
Blog neglection! Super sorry yall. I've been working and doing school and it has been a little more intense than last summer session. I have financial accounting and neruroscience. Not saying that Spanish and English were easier, but I enjoyed doing them so they felt less like work and more like fun...really long and structured fun. :P Neuroscience is fun too but financial accounting is NOT. Seriously, neurosci almost makes me want to become a neurosci major...almost.
I am finally starting to get used to the way things work so I shall start posting a lil bit more frequently soooooon.
I also had a sweeeeeeet birthday adventure last week! I shall be sharing that awesomeness too.

In the mean time...
Beautiful KPop men singing a song with a chorus that I can relate to...because it is in English and has the word Sorry in it. They also say "Shawty" which makes me giggle every time. Enjoy!




What have yall been up to lately? Can you do the Sorry Sorry dance in the music video? Share Below!!!

Thank You For Being a Friend Part 4: Rose Nylund

This is part four to Thank You For Being a Friend, my tribute to The Golden Girls. Part One on 

Sophia Petrillo can be seen here , Part Two for Dorothy Zbornak here, and Part Three for Blanche Devereaux here. :) 

Rose Nylund 

 

Rose Nylund is the nicest one of the girls, the most wholesome, and she is also the dumb blonde. Betty White, who is still alive - check out her new show Hot in Clevland (it's HILARIOUS) - shines in her portrayal of a kindhearted and naive lady from St. Olaf, Minnesota. You always knew she was about to share a (often ridiculous to everyone but her) story from her time in her hometown when you would hear her say, "Back and St. Olaf" and then hear an immediate groan or a sigh from Sophia, Dorothy, and Blanche. She offers wisdom from her Viking roots, not only with stories, but also with "Scandinavian" vocabulary (examples: “Gerkanenaken”: The exact moment when dog feces turns white “GoWackaNoggin”: A baseball-like game where you just hit yourself on the head with a bat.). 

Rose's style is like her, nice and wholesome. She has items like Blanche that are girly and feminine, such as pastel colors and lots of skirts and dresses. However, she sometimes wears men-styled tops like Dorothy. Often this is a collared shirt under a blazer. She also wears dresses with a collar style neck.

She also wears the collared shirts under patterned sweaters. She often wears pants with her sweaters. They are very Cliff Huxtable a-la-Cosby show, no? I feel they bring out her funny and playful side.

Like Blanche, she also often wore a matching jacket and pants suit with a top underneath.

I always end these posts with what I would wear to emulate Rose and what she would wear if she was a trend following fashionista my age. This being the last of the girls means that this is the last time :( 

Here we go!!!!

My Rose Nylund look would be a feminine dress. The dress would have print to emulate her fun sweaters. I would also have on heels and socks to make it a bit more girlish and wholesome feminine (as opposed to Blanche's sexy feminine). Rose often had on pearl jewlery so I would wear pearl drop earrings and a pearl necklace. 

I can see Rose's young, spring 2010 trend-lover self, boldly sporting the tie die trend. It would be in a swingy dress, like the Proenza Schouler one above. She would also wear heels and socks, but the socks would be ruffly and girly to up the "sweetness factor".

 

What would you do to create a Rose look? Do you think I captured Rose's style? Are you a Golden Girls fan? Check out all four of the girls and let me know your favorite. I'd love to hear from you!!!

From LookBook Looker to LookBook Booker??

Whatever you want to call it, I basically made the transition from just hyping other peoples' looks to posting my own goofy pictures for others to judge.

I was told I "Looked Like Summer Today". Agree? Disagree?

Are you on Lookbook? Send me a link! I'll check you out!

Want to be on Lookbook? I have an invite that I am just dying to give out away. If you want it tell me in the comments below.
