Scoop-neck dress from Charlotte Russe for $5. Leggings from TJMaxx for $5.95. Boots from TJMaxx for $30. Belt from Charlotte Russe for $6.50. Earrings from Heartbreaker for $2. This is what they call "homework" here. Basically I get to make a bunch of collages. Tons of man-food for just 1.25 pounds per sandwhich. On my walk. Have a fantastic week!!! Check back for...
Ello poppits! No classes today! I decided to pair some favorite summer pieces (Banana Republic Tank Top and Aerie Cardigan) with more wintery pieces like (T.J. Maxx thigh high boots, Target leggings, and a Forever21 button skirt). After yesterday's blistery 2 hour walking tour in the cold heart of London I was starting to miss all things "summer" like... 1. All of my favorite clothes...
I'm in love with the gorgeous collection from Miu Miu for SS11 (Spring/Summer 2011). Today, when visiting the Barbican Centre in London I saw this whimsical pink bicycle leaning against a black rod iron fence that had spring moss peeking out at the bottom. It reminded me of Miu Miu SS11 so much. Here are photos of their window displays, just so you can get...
$109 Anne Klein Ankle Booties on sale for $33 at Von Maur. These little devils almost killed me today. I clocked the distance, and I walked 4.4 miles. It was my first time wearing these heels. What was I thinking? I had 1 class today and an interview following it with Georgina Goodman, a very successful luxury shoe designer, who is "the future of footwear" - Manolo...
This wonderwoman keeps getting younger and younger. Honestly, what other 40+ year old can wear white skinny jeans without her legs looking like a stack of lumpy white cotton balls? Not too many, that's for sure. You may think, "Hold on now, Dylan. I refuse to subsist on fat-free rice cakes and shots of puke-green wheat grass." If that is you, then PLEASE, do...

While wandering around the Huntarian Museum, I found myself surrounded by grotesque carcasses preserved in a mucus-like substance, but it was the iridescent lavender butterfly seemingly trapped behind a glass case that tickled my fancy.
Perhaps it was how the shade of metallic lilac resembled my favorite Wet N’ Wild nail polish. Or maybe it was how the white swirls matched the tea set my mother gave me. Or perhaps it was the way in which the milky brown antennas fell limp just like my boyfriend’s hair. Whatever it was, this butterfly made my heart flutter with lovely memories.

I can picture where this butterfly had been, hundreds of years ago. She, too, had many warm memories of her own. This little lady had been a welcomed guest at many Old English Tea Parties.
She always dressed herself in lavender silk, complete with a strand of round, white pearls. Her dewy skin caught each ray of sun, reflecting a rainbow of color as she fluttered about her friends. She was quiet, but her radiant presence never went unnoticed.
Although lady butterfly has now passed on, she has left her shimmering fashions behind to inspire all who visit her. She even brings a *sparkle* of whimsy to the museum of dead carcasses.

Heads Up: Butterflies and other little love bugs are going to be BIG in fashion this Spring/Summer 2011.

Butterfly Top by Forever21 ($22.80)
This U.K. store is amazing. They have lovely clothes, but I'm more keen towards their accessories and home ware. Check out my favorites. 1. Simple Pleasures: Little Things That Make Life Worth Living. It's an adorable book with writings about different "simple pleasures" in life that often go unnoticed. For example, mowing the lawn or buying school supplies. 7.99 pounds. 2. Peanut Butter...
1. Gum is not a big deal here. Chewing gum for Americans is like smoking cigarettes for the British. 2. Tight pants are not only for the emo kids. That's right, many of London's fashionable men are pulling off the snug fit. Also, I've noticed that American men, for the most part, seem to have smaller bums. Maybe it's just my imagination. 3. Apparently I look like...
Store: Habitat Link: Jetter Travelcard Holder. Link: Sana Bud Vase. More shopping hauls to come, I promise. Have a dolly day. (It's my new saying. You like?) XOXO, Dyl Maureen ...
