A Girl Crush: 2012

End of an Era

I wouldn't exactly credit the series finale of Gossip Girl as being the "end of an era" but the heading definitely sounds better, and if anything, the end of Chuck Bass is worth a saying of strong gravity. Unfortunately I can't admit to being a loyal fan through all six seasons but I did join in every now and then if not for the outrageously soap opera like drama than for the smoldering sex appeal of both Mr. Bass and Miss. Serena Van der Woodsen. Not to mention, the shows wardrobe could have unfailingly brought me to my knees every episode. I can admit to reading all the books which my dad can blame for his embarrassingly young daughter begging to switch the family vacation from the innocence of Disney World to the luxuriously seductive beaches of St. Barth's. The flakey Gossip Girl fan in me is finding the most difficulty with mourning the loss of TV bad boy Chuck Bass. Not one man, (Ryan Gosling comes close) sums up more perfectly why men should always choose to wear a suit. Let me reiterate, just wear the damn suit bro. A very wise pin once said, "A well tailored suit is to women what lingerie is to men." Amen to that pinterest!

Street Style>><<Art Basel

To be honest I only recently became aware of Miami's Art Basel, where party meets contemporary art meets fashion meets a whole lot more, after watching the fabulously awful Bravo series "Gallery Girls." The reality show focused on fairly affluent twenty somethings ~~trying~~ to make it in the world of New York gallery art. Besides affirming that most of these girls were complete looney tunes, the series also convinced me of the addition of attending at least one Miami Art Basel to my much unaccomplished bucket list. The people watching to be done at Art Basel ranks right up there with fashion affiliated events worldwide. Not only does the warm weather presented by Miami foreshadow possible looks and trends for SS13 but the environment of Miami and the art world encourages equal to a little more adventure of the street style spotted at various fashion weeks. The attendance of many of my favorite fashion blogger's at this year's Art Basel I find to be very much exciting. It's a promising gesture of camaraderie by the modern art world, showcasing they don't stick their nose up at fashion lover's but can view art and fashion as somewhat synonymous, and I like that.
