Hey fashionistas! As, not only a teen fashionista, but an aspiring designer; I can't help but to wonder what the legendaries[ Karl, Marc, Narcisco] dreamt up before creating haute couture. I dug up these exclusive artful and beautiful sketches.

Jackie Oh!

A dose of Jacqueline Onassis for your day.

How I wish I was alive when Jaqueline Kennedy's grace and poise changed the fashion industry- and almost all women. personally my favorite fashion icon[[and those who know me know I have a thing for fashion icons]], she always managed to be put-together in a way that stuffy grandmothers only aspire to. I hope Jackie inspires you!

Where is the Sun?

Hey Fashionistas,

It is spring break now, and while many of you are probably tanning somewhere fabulous, I am rotting away in the cold comfort of my own home. So what am I to do but blog away? If the sun isn't rising, an age-old question is [for us in New York, that is]: What do we wear during a cold spring?

Though it may not be spring weather yet, it still is spring, and an optimistic approach is key.

This sweet combination of a Richard Chai top and Phillip Lim skirt is subtle, yet cheerful. For a timeless cold spring look, you can never go wrong with a colorful, flowy skirt and a straight top. But, keep it neutral.

But it lacks some personal style...

Add a dainty leather bootie[[Jeffrey Campbell]] and a matching necklace for a look in bloom.

For a more free spirited look, spice it up with a floppy straw hat and a metal necklace.[[Urban Outfitters]]

What do you wear when it almost snows in April?

Topshop til You Drop!

Hey fashionistas,

British invasion! What happens when a U.K. superstore hits stateside? The

lines were stacked outside Topshop's brand new Soho flagship store grand opening.

Though the star-studded opening included celebs and fashion icons like Kate Moss[[of course!]], Marc Jacobs, Anna Wintour, Zoe Kravitz, and Jennifer Hudson; the street style was the real spotlight.

Can't wait to go check it out? Expect flowy folk-inspired pieces and edgy rock-and-roll numbers in Kate Moss for Topshop. You'll also find Jonathan Saunder's latest collection for Topshop, in which tight architectural shapes and bright color blocking rule, as well as the rest of the trendy street-stylish store.

Looks like you'll be seeing me picking through the racks soon enough!
