DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME.



Hey Fashionistas!

I'm in a 80s flashback mood right now, I just saw the critics choice awards re-runs and one of my favorite bands in the world- DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE played "Don't You Forget About Me" from one of the coolest 80s high school movie in the history of the world- The Breakfast Club. In the awards show, they did a tribute to John Hughes- who defined a generation by producing excellent, funny and outrageous movies about the teenage years.


I think out of all the John Hughes movie I've seen (and trust me I'm seen all of them) my favorite movie has to be Pretty in Pink. Pretty in Pink tells the story of Andie Walsh (played by Molly Ringwald) who is poor but still fashion conscious New Wave girl who has a huge crush on one of the rich, cool, preppy guys-Blane McDonough (played by Andrew McCartney). When Andie and Blane try to make their relationship work, they are pressured from their social circles to not to be together. Did I happen to mention how adorable Andrew McCartney is in this movie? He's pretty amazing.


Andie gets alot of criticism for the ways she dresses- she doesn't have long blonde hair, she doesn't wear blazers, Ralph Lauren or Lacoste polos, or freshly starched khaki pants. Nope, she dresses how she wants to. She doesn't follow the fashion rules, she makes her own. Which I absolutely love, love, love.

This is the perfect time to announce that I'm going to start keeping a outfit photo log...every day for the month of February..I will take a picture of my different outfits.
I'm pretty excited and you should be to.
Well later Fashionistas...
and remember one thing for me...
do what you love and love what you do
xoxo
