Long time no post...

On Sunday I was enjoying a delicious banana-strawberry smoothie and listening Lily Allen, thinking how wonderfully they go together. Apparently, Karl Lagerfeld also thinks that Miss Allen is always a nice component, and had her perform at Chanel's Spring RTW show. In which she came up from the floor. It was a great big show, as any fashion blog'll tell ya (show...and tell...oh my cleverness is killing me), but to me, the clogs were most memorable. They made me think of middle school when I thought Coach was the swankiest thing around, and I was in the store, staring at the most ridiculous pair of shoes I had ever seen. Wellllll, they're back!

I wonder how long they'll stick around for...and if Jane from Sea of Shoes is interested in getting a pair.

School still hasn't really slowed down at all, and I'm starting to realize that the rest of the year is always going to be this hectic. So I apologize for not posting often, but please keep visiting Chocolate Sunglasses :)

Friday night my mom and I went to the art museum, where we met a guy named Eugene (Hey Eugene! He didn't quite get my reference, though) and then Lafayette Coney Island, and after that an attempt at a dessert from the Book Cadillac. While the dessert was unattainable due to the fact that the bar's kitchen closed at about 10pm (How exactly is this helping your image?) there was some nice eye candy and we talked with a roadie for So You Think You Can Dance. All in all, a very interesting night. The fact that I was wearing an old ball

et tutu may have also added a little something.

I really should be writing a practice impromptu on a autobiographical narative by Gary Soto, in which I am to analyze his guilty six-year-old self, but I feel I've gone too long with out posting. Also, I have no clue what I am going to write about, so this is a nice form of procrastination. School has been absolutely crazy and I've been trying to keep up with all the runways so I can have something to report on but most of my time has been aimlessly wasted on Facebook and the likes, which is quite a shame but like the young Gary Soto, I don't have the strongest willpower. See what I did there?

Anyway, this weekend I discovered a few things that I'm sure everyone else was already completely aware of:

> Super Popular Blogger, Thirteen-year-old Tavi Gevinson

> Formerly-annorexic, now Super Popular Plus-sized model Crystal Renn, who was in both last week's newspaper and October's Teen Vogue, which I just got around to devouring this weekend

> Slow and Steady Wins the Race, via Tavi's blog. And these mad sunglasses from there.

Love! They remind me of the glasses the mice put on when Wallace and Gromit blast off to the moon in A Grand Day Out. Which is lovely because I adore those movies.

:D

Definitely waking up early early to write that essay....Good night!

The new iPod Nanos are amazing!!! Not only is there a video camera built in, there's also FM radio! So SICK. I am so excited about this! Note the exclamation points!!! This is why Apple is the best.

Also, it's New York Fashion Week! Check out the runways here.

Check out this list of the 99 most influential style blogs. So far I really like Go Fug Yourself, Garance Dore, and FaceHunter.

Just re-watched the Glee preview...Can't wait for the new episode next Wednesday! My brother is scoffing at the Journey cover, and I'm not incredibly attached to that song either unlike everyone else, but I love the Glee cast's version. I personally like Gold Digger better because Matthew Morrison has the lead. I know it's wrong, but he really needs to cheat on his wife with the ginger from Ugly Betty.

I realize that purple suits can turn people off because of Mean Girls. Now everyone thinks that if a girl is wearing a suit-especially a purple one-she's gay. Even though Janis wasn't even a lesbian. But anyway girls need to get over their purple-suit phobias. Suits can be pretty kickass.
