From Old to New: 1960s to Now
"Mad Men" on AMC has become wildly popular. For those of you who are out of the loop, "Mad Men" is a TV series about businessmen and their wives set during the 1960s. People not only like the show for the drama but for the fashion. Banana Republic recently came out with a "Mad Men" collection. I have always loved the early 1960s fashion-- think Jackie O. Timeless. Classic.
The following are pictures from "Mad Men"

From Old to New: Pink Hair
High school graduation day. One of the happiest days of my life-- not because I was proud of myself but because I never had to go back to that god awful high school AGAIN. Polk County was a very small high school- the only school in the county AND I graduated with about 150 students. The girls were hateful and the guys loved the drama because it was usually over them. I remember high school way too well. I was the Sweet Southern Belle with a rebellious streak to my core. And nothing made my life more exciting than to have teachers, law enforcement, and other parents talk about my life. That is a small Southern town for you. And that's just the overview...
For my finale, I had to do something outrageous. Something that other students had never done before. And nothing that would actually get me in trouble because I was walking on thin ice coming down to my last days in "the county." I was a fan of Rachel McAdams at the time. (The obsession started with The Notebook, of course). Her style was so unique and I loved it. I remember seeing pictures of Rachel McAdams' pink hair and thinking "I want this." And if you know me well, if I want it... I'm eventually going to get it.
This is what Rachel McAdams' hair looked like...
... This was my version of Pink Hair AND I rocked it!
Don't ever be afraid to try something new! My pink hair was just a phase and I made the statement that I wanted to make... Trends are temporary. So be a trendsetter!
From Old to New
I'm back! School has been hectic with projects + midterms. I promise to do a better job... I have decided on my newest project-- which will be my future posts. I am digging up old photos and recent ones, too. In these photos, I am wearing some of my favorite fashion pieces. That's not the point of the posts... From there, I will research old designers and past fashions that have inspired the looks in the photos. I absolutely love researching fashion designers and trends... I hope you guys will enjoy it, as well!

Brett Auston's Fall Wish-List
Fall is here! Ok, well actually it’s still summer. But Fall Collections are now in stores. Nothing makes me happier than to shop for fall. You should see the wish-list I have come up with! It is 3 pages long. From David Yurman rings to JCrew cashmere. Of course, I won’t be able to buy everything from the wish-list but it keeps me focused on a goal. Instead of buying random items when I’m at the mall, I try to stick to my wish-list. I have found that it saves me money and allows me to spend wisely because the wish-list is a compilation of only the items I want most. I have already been able to knock a few things off my list.
Not only do I love fall/winter clothes... I love everything about fall-- the football, the crisp air, pumpkin carving, Thanksgiving. I love it all!
