Moxie is a must.

Red lips, one of my favorite fashion accessories. The dewy contrast between rouge and pearl highlighting your best feature, that telling smile, moxie showcased at it's best. I know red is loud, but it's also playful, whimsical and rather lovely. A playful nature has the ability to intoxicate the world with happiness, and that is exactly what was shared with Miu Miu's 2011 Resort Collection. Hues of hot pink and celadon jumped out from a backdrop of nudes and navies, all presented with complete unabashed fortitude. The accessories were as stacked as my magazine piles and, of course, the make up was very perfectly turned up. At Lanvin for H&M the colors were turned down, but the attitude was all moxie. Tulled tees and show stopping tights mingled in among deep plum dresses and faux fur jackets. Green lips replaced my shade of choice, but with this quirky collection it truly was the perfect pucker.

Needless to say, moxie fills many runways during fashion weeks around the world, but it's also a complete necessity in everyday life. Make moxie a must in yours. Smile, won't you?

Love,

Simply Awkward.

I do try to seem composed, put together like the many others I see milling about, but the truth is I like unicorns. I don't think you can prevent awkwardness if you like unicorns. I don't necessarily try to be different, but rather always try to be myself. However, the "myself" that I'm made of likes wearing high-waisted trousers with ivy print, gets nervous in front of guys she likes, sings showtunes at the gym, and always finds herself believing in things that are, to most, merely fanciful. So, I'm simply awkward. I guess I just never learned how to contain my imagination, but honestly, I never wanted to. I know that being the girl who trips... a lot... and says things without thinking may sound like an arduous life to lead, but really it's quite wonderful.

I guess some of these imaginative wonderings have found their way into my wardrobe, but with inspiration from designers like Alice + Olivia, Erin Fetherston, and Marc Jacobs who wouldn't want a bit of awkward filling their dresser drawers?
