NYFW: Fall 2012 - A.L.C.

   


okie dokie! i have decided to show my favorite collections for NYFW in alphabetical order. so to start things off (even though I'm way behind, sorry), is A.L.C.

this label is headed and designed by the uber-talented [andrea lieberman]. she is absolutely amazing, and i would wear every single one of her looks from the fall/winter collection. they're mostly basics with a twist, which is exactly what i strive for everyday. plus she threw in some awesome sweaters, so i'm totally sold!

here are a few of my favorites:









you can view the rest of this lovely collection [here].





more updates on my favorites of NYFW soon.

favorite youtube channels.

i know i haven't posted about fashion week yet, but i promise i will during spring break! i just haven't had enough time to sift through the photos and whatnot online yet!

for this post, i've decided to share my top 10 favorite youtubers, what their channel is about, and why i love them so very much!

we'll just make a list, yes?
1. i know this is cliche.. but.. jenna marbles. okay, okay. i know, she's not too ladylike or put together. but i mean, a) she's hilarious, b) you never know what she's going to say, and c) she has an italian greyhound named kermit. sounds perfect, because it is.

2. next is pixiwoo. they do amazing make-up tutorials and have frequent giveaways. the only downside to their giveaways is that they have a ton of subscribers, making the chances of winning much more slim, and they are also in the UK, meaning that little me from Kansas can't always even try to apply. despite all of that, they are really amazing at what they do, and i have learned a ton since i started subscribing to their channel!

3. my next choice is definitely, hands-down, FashionRocksMySocks. initially, i was like.. okay, that's sort of a silly, corny name, but trust me: she makes up for it with her gorgeous fashion videos. she often talks about her favorite trends of the moment, and has also been known to post a few diy tutorials now and again. another plus: she's got an adorable british accent and has a lipstick fetish! love!

4. while i haven't watched their channel in a while, i truly love AGayADay. it's made up of five gay guys that post a video everyday of the work week, with different themes each week. so far, my favorite week has been harry potter week. there were some awesome jokes made, i promise you. :) i haven't really been watching lately, so i'm super behind, but in case you were wondering, my favorite is Darren! he's thursday!

5. number five is a very recent find for me: clothesencounters. while i've just watched some of their older videos because i like to watch them in order, i can already tell you that i'm in love. i think that now it's just one girl, but in the episodes i'm watching, there are two girls: sara and jenn, and they do sort of tutorials on how to wear basic pieces different ways, thrifting tips, and general info about themselves. they're super cute and know what they're talking about!

6. my drunk kitchen is next, because i constantly find myself laughing at her! she does episodes and in each one, she attempts to cook or bake a dish while completely obliterated. i know it seems childish.. but i love it. you will, too.

7. the revolution pac is next, because i love ron paul. haha. i know this is completely different from the other choices i've mentioned, but it's how i keep up with politics when i don't have time to sit in front of the news. the channel uploads mostly interviews with individuals about their feelings concerning politics, their worldview, and the candidates they are supporting in the upcoming election.

8. julia nunes is awesome. she sings.. and she makes me squeal because she's so darn adorable on her ukelele. check her out on itunes and youtube, bros!

9. lucie jones is another lady youtuber who is amazing at singing, and i especially love her covers of the killers. definitely downloaded those to my itunes the other day! she's another cute little brit, as well. i'm obsessed, can you tell?

10. number ten is a little special to me. she is a girl that i actually know personally, and i love. her name is sarah, and i swear to you, i believe that if she were to pursue a career in music she could definitely make it big. her adele covers make me wanna cry they're so beautiful, and you should hear her sing the national anthem at our home games. this gorgeous girl deserves some recognition.

that wraps up my top ten youtube channels! in case you're wondering, i do have a channel, but no videos yet.. i'm still trying to decide how i should use it. i'll leave you with a cute little something before i go:
i want this so badly. ahhhhhh!

that's all for now!
