Sorry guys I haven't been blogging. For some strange reason, the Urban Outfitters website, and only Urban, does not come on my laptop. I've tried numerous times everyday for the last 2 weeks and it just does not work. It works perfectly fine on other computers, just not mine anymore. I don't know what happened. I'm going to keep trying until it works, hopefully soon.

For some other news, I'm going to start up my Ebay store again,selling some of my vintage finds. I'll keep you guys updated with that. Also, I have a phone interview tommorow with one of my prospective colleges in NY.Wish me Luck! Also don't worry, I will write more blogs,so you guys will get your fix on accessories,trends, emailed questions, advice,etc. I'll start the new blogs tommorow.

I'm not sure if my email pops up on here, but you could email me you guys questions,rants,comments to leslynichel@aim.com. Send me anything you want.

New blog will be up tomorrow for sure, hopefully sometime before my 3 o clock interview. Goodnight guys!

For the simple minded fashion clueless & curious male.

Today is dedicated to one of my friends who is having trouble with his style. His ideal style is simple with a little maintenance. He would like to do it on a budget, which I think is really common for males. So I found some sites where he could shop and still keep his bank account alive. I told him all he needs are the basics and he could oomph up any outfit.He likes dark colors, so he should look into black,dark purples,dark greens,browns,and dark subtle patterns would work. He just needs henley and boat-neck long sleeves, v necks, cheap but flattering jeans(gap), skinny black tie,white button up, a trouser, and any kind of shoes that matches his personality.

www.gap.com- You could buy a bunch of basics for little money. They are known for great fitting jeans.
www.americanapparel.com- You could also buy in bulk and get them in nice saturated colors.
www.forever21.com- Yes, F21 has men's clothes now and they are beaut!

Always check online sales at your favorite stores because usually there are better deals than in the store. Check Thrift Stores also for vintage grabs if you do not mind hand me downs. Vests,Bootcut jeans,Vertical Stripes, shirts that actually fit are flattering on everybody.

Maybe these could be his ideal?

Love me long time

I found a dress today at work. It's a Black Pencil Knit Dress with buttons down the middle and some sort of draping/rouching at the waist. It also have a split in the back and its true vintage. It was originally $10 but with the discount, about $7.

Speaking of more Christmas deals, I found a brown stretchy scarf with hints of gold,burgundy and some other neutral colors mixed in there that I absolutely loved.I showed my friend who works at American Apparel the scarf, and he too fell in love with it. He wanted me to buy it for him with my "discount". I told him no because I loved it. He begs," As a Christmas gift?" I say, " Are you still getting me a Christmas gift." He says unbelievably," Yes! you can pick out anything you want, and I'll buy it on the spot for you." I quickly say ok the scarf is yours. Anybody that knows me, knows that I absolutely ADORE American Apparel and that tons of my $$$ goes there. After he said that, my mind wandered off continuosly and graciously thinking what I could possibly get that I want and need . I thought about what has fit me amazingly and pieces I've been eyeing for a while.



It's been a great shopping week!

Thrift Store Shopping Adventures

I FINALLY I made it to a thrift store 40 minutes away from my home that I have not been to in about 3 years. This whole week I've been having good shopping days- finding great bargains under $5 at Urban Outfitters, shopping with and getting to know my new coworkers, and today marks the greatest day in my thrift shopping history of great vintage finds.

I found an amazing green,red, and yellow plaid flannel shirt that I tried on top of my outfit for about $2. In which it made my outfit look ten times better. I was wearing a cobalt blue unitard with slouchy deconstructed pirate cream colored boots and a new kids on the block t-shirt. I've been looking for a great plaid men's flannel shirt forever and when I found it earlier this month, I washed it and never saw it again. On a brighter note, today I found a pale blue with a hint of silver lacy slip that is very reminiscent to slips worn in the 40s. I got that for about $3. I also found a skirt that looks very much like something in the current Marc Jacobs fall line. I will wear as a dress. It has a subtle floral print of midnight blue,forest green, and pink. It cost about $2. Totaling up to about $8 plus tax. Great deal I would say, eh?
