a tragic love story

... I found them. The fateful TeenVogue spreads that would start my undying love affair for military jackets and zippers.

Once upon a time, there was a fair maiden. Her love story all began in the April 2009 issue. One lovely March day, shereceived the April issue in the mail. She didn't know what was in store for me, but it was love at first sight.

First, she met her "Enchanted Soldier" [AKA the name of the spread]. He charmed her right away, with the jacket detailing that reminded her soo fondly of old-school marching uniforms. She couldn't resist falling into the traps of his awesome button detailing and the symmetrical design. And it was the first time that she saw the 3.1 Phillip Lim vest that would later make so many appearances in her life...


Oh, but then they attended the "Twilight Prom" [also, name of spread]. At first, she was not very amused while shopping for dresses [AKA looking at the rest of the spread], but OH MY, THAT DRESS. That 3.1 Phillip Lim ruffle zipper dress. Love at first sight! The dress and her were meant to be, and she attended the prom with her Enchanted Soldier, wearing her lovely zipper dress.

And they lived happily ever after.

Annnnnd, I am officially weird. Can you relate to this? Falling in love with clothes/a trend? Falling in love with something else that will never love you back? Ice cream, for example? Don't get me started on ice cream......

PS: A lot of guys have been telling me that we need to start posting stuff about guys. We will. Trust me. I just need to research some before I can post anything substantial. And okay, you can't say I've been entirely neglecting men's fashion. Look at all those pictures of Korean male celebrities!!! They are very fashionable too. Hmph.
PPS: The CW is going to have a new series about high-fashion modeling. Starring Sara Paxton, Mischa Barton, Ben Hollingsworth, Nico Tortorella, and Corbin Bleu. Going to be the next Gossip Girl? We'll see. However, I am excited.
PPPS: There's going to be a movie about Coco Chanel's early life, starring AUDREY TAUTOU<3.
