Well my fixation of the moment is silk scarfs, earlier known as men's ascots <a href="http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8ui8kLJnL1qa1xnko1_500.gif" target="_blank">(I couldn't resist).</a> Quite a while ago I blogged about <a href="http://josephandella.blogspot.com/2014/06/im-feeling-head-scarves.html" target="_blank">head scarves</a>, but now I'm leaning towards the more traditional uses for the Très chic Parisian accessory. My cousin always wears her silk scarves tightly knotted around her neck and it always makes her look so cute. I also am obsessed with taking my scarves and tying them aroung my hand bag handles (although it's a little depressing when I realize it's not an Hermes scarf on my Birkin, but I digress). I'm also drawn towards tying them through my belt buckles like a belt and around a messy bun. Or you could always wear them like my Grandmommy and tie them around your head to block off the wind... Anyway, here's a look at some of my favorite ways to wear them.<br />

I know I'm no crafter of words like Mrs. Lee, but what the heck. Life's been pretty eventful these last couple of months, but now that I'm back to sailing on calm waters I figured this is as good a time as any to get back to work. I have a lot of fun posts in the making and can't wait to show them to you (hello, is anyone out there?). Here is a look at some of my favorite things, right here, right now.<br />

Needless to say, I have been rather occupied with Fashion Week lately (Mrs. Smith if you are reading this, please take this into account when reading my essay). I have been stalking all forms of social media and my trusted style.com, which in my opinion, is the holy grail of all fashion resources. The majority of the shows I have seen are major. There are only a couple I haven't been a fan of, but most of them are insanely beautiful and well put together. Well one of my favorite trends that I have noticed so far (because it is EVERYWHERE) is gingham. And not the tacky red gingham synonymous with diners, but beautiful adaptations of the print due to the lady-like colors and Briggite Bardot style. Here are some of the top designers sending the trend down the runway.</div>

I'm not one to follow fashion rules, and frankly I think this one is rather juvenile. I understand and appreciate where the "rule" comes from, but will still continue in wearing the classic color. Here are a couple of my favorite looks. Even though this is an older trend, I like to freshen it up by mixing shades of white and playing with proportions. My go to look for the trend is a sheer midi shirt and a plain white t shirt.<br />

Since I am the poster child for a flute body shape, I always have to fake a figure. My go to is high waisted pants, which are so comfortable and, I think, cute. This particular pair is one of my favorites. I love the simplicity of the polka dots that can be turned into something not so simple when paired with the right thing. In this outfit, I used the polka dots as a neutral when paired with a floral shirt.</div>

I tried to pay homage to the master mind behind the "Iconic and Bitchy" Black and White Ball. Like I always say, I was born in the wrong time period. I would have been totally fine with rubbing shoulders with the Ladies Who Lunch and Mia Farrow. So easily enough, that explains the choice of outfit for today, but I had to spice it up a little bit, like always.<br />

I don't know about you, but I am drawn to anything that's shiny just like a little kid. It's almost like candy to me. Well when I saw these gold kicks on pinterest I knew I had to have them. I searched on shopstyle and ebay, where I finally found them for more than 50 percent off, which I'll never turn down. And for the socks, you probably know how I love them, due to the two other posts I did. For the rest of my outfit, I wanted to go simple and bring the focus to the shoes. These vintage jeans I got from Goodwill are ridiculously long, so that explains the uber long cuffs, but I sort of like them. Well now I'm off because it's an Audrey Hepburn marathon on Turner Classic Movies and I already missed more than half of it due to school... </div>

Isn't the point of a blog to have cute, interesting pictures? Well these, to say the least, are interesting... but not in a <i>good</i> way. At least the jumpsuit is cute? Anywho, I am absolutely in love with this dreamy little number and it makes me think of happier days in far away lands where school doesn't exist, merely attractive British men, Gucci/pink Fiats, and Black and Tan Coonhounds. Oh and Audrey would be everywhere, naturally. It has everything I tend to look for in an outfit: comfort (I could <i>literally </i>sleep in it, which sounds quite appealing so I actually might), print (love the blocky aspect towards the ankles), and it is functional. Just because it is "one-piece" doesn't mean I can't wear it other ways. I have been thinking of wearing a cute orange tank over it or a striped shirt underneath, or maybe even another printed jacket or sweatshirt to go on top. I think that the rather dark tones make it a transition piece that could easily be worn in the fall/winter as in the summer because of the flowy shape and floral print (Side note/speaking of fall: <i>Fashion Week starts September 4th and I couldn't be more excited!!!!</i>). Take a look at my other (tragic) pictures of my (not so tragic) outfit.</div>

For all of those not blessed enough to be in the Buncombe County School system (take that as you will) and did not know that today was the first day back to school, consider yourself lucky. The picture above more or less shows how I was in almost every class. Just to clue you in on how bad my lack of excitement was, I contemplated wearing Chacos today. Chacos. Just think about that. I'm nowhere ready to be senior. How am I almost ready to go to college or "leave the nest" as some of you would say? I can't even go two class periods without talking to my moma, how am I supposed to go a number of hours away?! This is what has been on my mind lately and has gotten me in a real funk. I haven't looked at one September issue yet.. not even Vogue with the infallible "InstaGirls" on the cover (which is amazing by the way, props to you, Mario Testino). I am going to try and do a lot more on my blog this year, more outfit posts, since it's not the summer anymore and I actually get dressed... And if school doesn't seem to be going my way, I may pull a Roman Holiday, run away, cut off all of my hair, and impose on an incredibly handsome Gregory Peck look-alike (but only if he <i>really</i> looks like him).<br />

Can we flashback to age 5 when little girls took pride in picking out ribbons, or at least I did. I don't know if you've noticed, but I tend to go back to styles that kids use ie., frilly socks, ribbons, etc. It may be since I am only about ten years past said age that I condone dressing younger than you are (in moderation.. my moma <i>drives</i> a mini, doesn't <i>wear </i>one) or the fact that I still shop in the children sections. Even though ribbons may be seen as "preppy," I simply see them as lady like ways to amp up a simple pony tail. I find alternate ways to use the pieces of fabric such as tying them on handbags and replacing ankle straps with them, usually doubling them to get a sort of gladiator sandal look. I will always think of them as cheap ways to add color and patterns to any accessory, even if I'm borrowing them from the little girls that I babysit.</div>

It's no secret that pink is my favorite color. This feminine hue has been in my life since I was born (obviously, baby girl and all) and I plan to keep it that way. I blame the real obsession to Mrs. Kay Thompson. Some of you may know her as Maggie Prescott from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050419/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1a" target="_blank">Funny Face</a>, one of my favorite fashion/Audrey/general movies of ALL time. For Heaven's sake the name of this post came from the opening <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX6TaA6IRkk" target="_blank">number</a> of this fun film; pink for the Quality woman. Others may know her as the writer of Eloise. Yes, Eloise at the Plaza. This quirky, troublesome little girl with the knack of the color apparently rubbed off on me. And it seems to have rubbed off of fashion designers from all of the fashion capitals. Celine, Valentino, and Dior are just a few of the designers who donned the color on the runway, but it's my favorite on the street. I love the way the color can be taken in a feminine way or in a masculine way as well by the shape or texture of the garment. Here are some of my favorite looks and inspirations.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Something I have been drawn to since I was a little girl, is a nice, crisp evening coat. Probably spawning back to the days where my moma forced me to watch "I Love Lucy" with her (which I have grown to appreciate), I've developed a love for 50s fashion. Not the cheesy, cliche polka dots swing skirt with a red lip, but the elegance of waking up in the morning, putting on a fresh dress and face to do housework and cook breakfast for your husband. Well it seems the decline of huswifery was partnered with the decline of opulence and putting your best foot forward. I am truth to this example; I am sitting on the couch in sweatpants and yesterday's make up at 4 in the afternoon. My point being, I miss the age where women took pride in their dress and were excited to dress up and vacuum the carpet. Okay, enough of my little rant, but growing from my love of said show, is the love of Lucy's clothing, as I mentioned above. One of my favorite outfits from the show (in the episode where she meets Bill Holden and catches her "nose" on fire) was her polka dot evening coat (please excuse the... barbie..). She dawned this little beauty over a simple shirt and slacks, which is my favorite way to style this article of clothing, contrary to the name. Evening coats are, to me, floor length coats that are open to show your dress or outfit. Here are a look at some of my favorite styles, most of which have been styled down for a more casual look.</span></div>

Growing up, my brother and I were always playing Cowboys and Indians. Maybe it was because Davy Crockett was our favorite movie to reenact scenes from or the awesome costumes that we played with that I fell in love with the idea. Although the game may be seen as a clashing of cultures, I see it as a fashionable agreement. Think about it, you've got fringe, navajo prints, denim, suede, feathers, leather, animal skin and fur! That's quite a list, huh! Well I'm taking my new obsession into my own wardrobe, and taking inspiration from these other sources--most of which come from the stampedes in fashion capitals around the world.<br />

Plain and simple, no pun, only socks. I am having such an obsession with these little critters and I can't contain it. I've already done a <a href="http://josephandella.blogspot.com/2014/05/head-to-toe.html" target="_blank">post</a> on socks with heels, but since I don't particularly wear heels everyday (or hardly ever) I had to find another way to alleviate the obsession. I want to wear socks with my flats, with my oxfords, with everything. I am particularly leaning towards ankle high woolen socks right now. With a pair of gold brogues I have, I would take the ankle socks and push them down towards the shoe so that they have a messy, effortless look. Another thing I am loving sock-wise is a good contrast sock. For example, in "Funny Face," Audrey wears her iconic full black outfit, except for stark white socks to throw off the whole thing. It was brilliant. Edith Head seemed to be a genius in the sock department. In "White Christmas," another one of my favorite movies, Edith would have the dancers in monochromatic looks: clothes, shoes, socks. This was done so that the dancing wouldn't be broken up by the flash of a bright sock. This is the thing I love about fashion and clothes: one simple touch, whether it be a simple pair of socks or a necklace, can take an outfit to a whole other place. Clothes, therefore, aren't just for looks, but are symbolic, and I will be forever amazed by their abilities.<br />

I don't know what it is about a clutch that makes me like it so much more than a regular bag. It might be the fact that since you are always holding it in your hands or clasping it in your under arm you grow a sort of biological connection to it, like there is an invisible umbilical cord attached to it (yes I did just reference a clutch to a child). I love clutches because they are like an extension of your out fit, almost like a ring or a bracelet. I always stay attached to mine, dance with it, take it into the bathroom with me. Well no matter where you take it or how you wear it, clutches are easy and simple ways to add a little oomf to an outfit. Plus those little devils hold a lot more than they let on.. So whether you choose a pouch or a minaudiere, I promise it will come in clutch.<br />

As you may be able to tell, I have crazy amounts of things on my wish lists (with prices wayyyy out of my range) but it can't hurt to set goals, right? Well that's what I'm telling myself this is, Goal List: Part Four. Please just go along with it. Okay, I realize I need serious help.<br />

A bucket bag with the iconic Alexander Wang hardware on the bottom.</div>

It's pretty much known to everyone on the planet that I am a New York/London girl. This would be so comfortable and effortless, while showing off my (imaginary) roots. Plus it reminds me of a big Appalachian State sweatshirt that belonged to my moma in college that I wear <i>constantly</i>.</div>

It is my dream to be able to encapsulate my spirit animal, Audrey. I mean I dedicate my blog to her, my life, my everything, so why can't I at least <i>try</i> to dress like her. Now I am totally against people trying to <i>be</i> her, that is a huge no-no in my mind (and if I see somebody trying to do it I will whip them, like girls who try to dress up as Holly Golightly for halloween.. no, go away) but classic black trousers, black shirt, and balet flats isn't too hard, right? I would add my own little flair of bright white socks, just for some contrast.</div>

You can never have too many boyfriend jeans, and since I only have one pair (and they have the massive American Eagle stitching on the butt) I figured it's time that I invest in a quality pair. I love the cut and wash of these, and feel as if they have the perfect amount of distress.</div>

Instead of the normal Trend to Try installment, I wanted to focus on something that I am a huge fan of. I have multiple pairs of cat eyes, ranging from Kate Spade to Target, but needless to say, they are my favorite shape of sunnies. As you all know, I have a rather larger face *insert picture here*, and not to mention, high, bushy eye brows that make it hard to find any glasses that cover my brows and balance out my macho face. The best kind that I have found are these little feline look alikes. My friends and family always always always say something about my gigantor glasses and make smart remarks, but I take them like I take every other fashion slander shot at me. Anywho, these are some of my favorite looks and the styles that I am currently coveting the most.<br />

Hello little birds. I have been one terrible blogger lately (my apologies), due to multiple trips and a lack of wifi ie. camping, fashion camp. I've been doing a lot of shopping- and blowing my budget- which will hopefully make for some good ootd posts. Let's see if I have loyal readers who stay with me through thick and thin! I promise I'll get back in the flow! For now, enjoy this pretty little picture by Matisse.</div>

Hello lovelies sorry I haven't been posting lately! Well I'm back, for a little while at least, because I am going to the lake for a week and then to fashion camp at NC State! To start things off again, one of my favorite series, Monday Muse. There are so many people who inspire me, and one who I think has exceptional style and an amazing aura is Ms. Lauren Bacall. I've watched movies with her such as "Designing Women" and "The Big Sleep" since I was a little, but found out that she was a model discovered by Diana Vreeland in one of my favorite fashion documentaries, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2053352/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">"Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel."</a> She seemed to be such a strong woman, as she was known for her "sass" and was always rocking a picture perfect CBF. Well here's to the beautiful woman worthy of Bogie's heart.<br />

Am I the only person on the planet who can not keep their bathing suits in one place? I haven't worn a matching bathing suit in I don't know how long. People tell me that I can mix and match really well, when in reality, it's just because those were the tops and bottoms I could find. If I had multiple one pieces, then I wouldn't be able to lose matching suits and would essentially result in a peaceful summer occasion (hence the one piece/ one peace? bad puns yet again). When people think of one pieces, they might think that they are merely for children and mothers, but I think that they are classic and chic. A black one piece is so sexy I can't even. Not that I would come across that way.. I would probably walk by the pool trying to have my hair blow in the wind, and the fall in.. I've been looking for the one piece for about two years. Crazy I know, but if there is an image in my head of something I want, I <em>cannot</em> settle. Last summer I bought a blue one piece with ruffles on it from the kids section in target. Although it is cute, the place where my boobs should be is close to my belly button and it doesn't do a good job at hiding me.. So the search goes on. Here are a look of some of my favorite suits of the season, all of which are way too expensive. So keep calm and swim on without having to adjust your bottoms every second.<br />

When I was growing up, I stayed with my Grandmommy and Papa. My Grandmommy would take me take me on a walk with her everyday, and she would follow the same routine every morning before we set out for our little adventure. She would wrap her head in a scarf. That's where I first developed my love for the square pieces of silk. Then my cousin, whom I love and look up to, would always talk about going thrift shopping and finding neat little vintage head scarves. I have inherited this love from two of the women in my life that I look up to. Usually I wear them when I am cleaning my house (ala-I Love Lucy and not too often). I have been finding more inspiration from pics on the web, mainly from my trusted Pinterest, and have tried to find more ways, other than the typical knotted head band style. Here are a couple of my favorite looks.<br />

As of lately I have oddly been drawn to bugs, especially scientific interpretations of the creatures, like the one above. I think it would be so neat to have something like this in my room, but for some designer, they thought butterflies and other bugs would do well on clothes and accessories. Temperley London experimented with butterflies in their Resort 2015 collection. The long maxi skirts paired with the white shirts and sweaters scream Carolina Herrera, but in Alice Temperley's voice. The designer stayed true to her roots with beautiful prints, embroidery, and evening gowns. Along with the boxy jackets with the popped collars (the only way I wear my collars), there were prints featuring butterflies in all different colors. I've noticed this entomology from Temperley's fellow British designer, Sophia Webster. Her latest line of accessories consist of high heels and clutches displaying leather butterflies with cutouts and bug puns (love a good pun). I also saw an awesome bag made from beetle wing coverings (also called elytra), which I can't find a picture of, so I included a pair of earrings made with the same wings below. I don't think there will be any squealing with these particular creepy crawleys. <br />

You may not of caught it, but the title is referring to "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" because of the printed parachute pants that Will Smith tended to wear. I love these pants because they are so comfortable and easy to wear, mainly because the fit and the print which calls for simple pairing. I love just the white tee, since I seem to pair a pop piece and an understated classic to it. The D'Orsay flat kind of holds that philosophy true, with a normal, classic color and a different style.<br />

There is a boy who goes to my high school who has literally worn tie-dye every single day of his life since his first day of second grade. That is a total of 3,828 days. Looking at the Resort 2015 collections, it seems as if the designers have been drawn to tie-dye. I happen to love the trend and think that it has a kind of bohemian, mesmerizing look to it, but the boxy, masculine shapes at Alexander Wang completely throw that idea to the wind. Although I don't tend on wearing it for close to 4,000 days, I am looking forward to wearing it over the summer, especially little sundresses and tanks.<br />

One of my favorite ways to pull inspiration for my outfits, home design, etc., is by other people. Some would think of this as copying or not having ideas of your own, but I think that it is impossible to not take inspiration from something. Today for the first installment of Monday Muse, a new series where I will look at people or things that inspire me most, I am taking a look at my rock and role mode, Audrey Hepburn (surprising right). I think it's an understatement to say that I love her... I mean I named my blog after her parents for heaven sakes (even though she hated her father and had an unaffectionate but loving mother doesn't dim the light on the fact that without them, I wouldn't have my girl). It would be a lie to say that I don't cry at certain pictures of her. I literally know so much about her, have seen every movie she's been it, read the majority of her biographies, repinned and saved every picture I've come across. I accredit all of my strengths to her, and some of my weaknesses.. She was the most loving, stylish, beautiful, iconic, memorable, sincere, generous person I have ever heard of who just wanted to be loved, but most of all, give it. I always carry a little piece of her in my heart because I feel as if we have similar back stories and passions (not to mention we are almost the exact same size!!! Minus the 20 in waistline of course..). I don't know what I would do without the guidance of my mentor and life coach, and will never find another person in the world who will have the same affect on me as she has. No one will EVER be able to emulate the style, grace, love, or any other positive adjective of this beautiful woman, and I pray to God every night to let me be in Heaven with his most beautiful angel.<br />
<br />
Here is just a <i>small</i> collection of my favorite pictures of her. I love the ones that show her completely and utterly happy, as well as her natural, distinct, odd, rare beauty. Oh I love her so.<br />
