Chic to the Core

of fashion, that is. Mainly because of Blythe but also because of boredom, I've stopped looking at almost everything fashion related. Quelle horreur!! It's been months since I've looked at Style.com, read Fashionista, or picked up Italian Vogue. I mean, I've leafed through the lasted Harper's at a doctors office and occasionally go to Net-A-Porter or ShopBop but I've really deserted the fashion world.

I realized this morning that I don't really know what's trendy for spring let alone what is coming for fall. :faint: I haven't been in this position since my freshman year of high school. I used to spend my first period classes looking at the latest runway shows and now, here I am, having no idea what to wear.

I feel like I'm trying to run a marathon after sitting on the couch for a year. I didn't know one of my favorite models had a blog (Oh So Coco). I didn't know that another favorite model, Jacquetta Wheeler, is everywhere right now. Please forgive me for being a bad lover of fashion. I have forsaken it for pastels, mohair, and big eyed-dolls. I some balance in my life with my hobbies. Fashion and reading used to be all I had so it's very strange to have Blythe and sewing tossed into the mix.

I'm giving myself fashion rehab starting with T Paris Vogue, Vogue Italia, i-D, and of course, the beloved runway. I'm starting off with spring so I know what I need to wear and then heading to fall so I can start planning. And, I'm browsing Barney's to see what I wish I could afford. The universe already feels more balanced.
