What Is That? Velvet?

I have never really liked velvet anything. Except, maybe, red velvet cake. But when I saw these leggings on Urban Outfitters website, I had the strange urge that I wanted to buy them. After I realized that they were ruched I knew they were not the ones for me. I'm thinking about buying a regular pair though. What do you think? Would you wear velvet leggings?

Noirohio Vintage: Style Icon

I'm new to Noirohio Vintage, a store selling one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, but I've already fallen in love with their selection. The pieces are delectable. Nothing caught my eye quite like this...
A blazer that looks like it came straight from the set of Desperately Seeking Susan!!! I must admit I absolutely loved that movie when I was a kid. [[I actually might have a tape of it somewhere that I recorded]] This blazer made Susan [[and Roberta as Susan.]] Madonna circa the 80s is definitely one of my style icons.

As much as I wanted to get it, bids [[they have an ebay store]] were already up to $113 by the time I discovered it. Simply put, I don't have the money right now. Sadly, I had to forget about having my own Susan jacket or case of mistaken identity, crime-solving adventure. Some lucky lady snatched up my jacket, but hopefully this is not the last time we cross paths. Until then I will be frequenting Noirohio Vintage for other great finds!

Rogan for Target

Target is heading back to the airport to pick up another designer for their Go International line. However, their eleventh designer didn't travel far. Rogan Gregory, a NYC based designer, has boarded Targets flight of distinguished designers with a summer line splashed with animal prints. Not only is the line cute but it's also organic and eco-friendly!!! [[I'm an advocate for green things!]] Organic and sustainable fibers along with animal prints relay his overall nature theme. Check out some pics of the upcoming line. I can't wait until the lines arrival, May 18. But don't wait too long to check it out, our dear green designer will only be visiting us for a limited time. His flight departs June 28. What better way to shop...my favorite store, designer clothes, and lower price points. If you have the funds you can always shop Rogan, but as a college student I'll have to settle for Target [[for now]].
