LOVE HUNGRY_30 Hour Famine 2012
Worldwide, 925 million people are hungry.
Every day, as many as 11,000 children under age 5 die due to hunger-related causes.
That’s one kid every 8 seconds.
On April 27th, I will begin a 30 hour fast along with thousands of people across the United States in an effort to raise awareness about world hunger and to join in the fight to end it. The 30 hours allow us, who live comfortable and privileged lives, to simulate what true hunger feels like, and experience just a portion of what millions of people around the world feel every single day. Our 30 hours will make hunger a part of our history, and not our present?our chance to actually do something about hunger.
The annual "30 Hour Famine" is run by World Vision, a trusted humanitarian organization that was established in 1950. World Vision's goal is simply to aid the people of third world countries that have been ravaged by wars, political strife, natural disasters, hunger;overall poverty.
My hope is for you to help World Vision's mission to end world hunger. It is possible (!), and with the help of your funds and donations, we can all fight hunger! Every $30 I raise will help feed and care for a child for a whole MONTH! Will you please contribute for me to go without so that others can eat?

Bohemian Like You
belt: mom's
boots: Etienne Aigner, TJ Maxx
sunnies: c/o Vagabond Youth
satchel: c/o Oasap
Ah, this satchel. Literally so versatile. You will be seeing more of it in the future!
I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it! I feel like a modern Laura Ingalls Wilder//bohemian in this adorable printed chiffon dress! The dress is from this amazing boutique (2 locations one on the Balboa Peninsula and the other on the Pacific Coast Highway in Corona Del Mar) called Bohemia Boutique. I visited the store in CdM, and I was amazed at the selection of items there-beautiful block color pieces as well as prints everywhere! Their accessory selection and array of bangles and earrings are above par.
If you ever happen to stop by Newport Beach or Corona del Mar, make sure you drop by Bohemia Boutique for affordable and chic pieces!

NYFW Roundup
JUAN CARLOS OBANDO
I adored the hint of mint (ooh rhymes) and the paperlike layering in this collection. The splash of neon brights later on in the collection was refreshing too. Masterful drapery was present along with chic silhouettes.
3.1 PHILLIP LIM
The clean cut and chic collection of Phillip Lim was a nice spin-off on"normal" fall wear. Sharp linear cuts and an amazing yet simple palette made this a top collection on my list.
ALEXANDER WANG
The Famous Wang was deft in his minimal use of color as he focused more on textures and cuts this season. I loved the chromatic transitions (although I didn't pick some of the maroons and dark teals, they were lovely!). In short, Wang never fails. Never.
JENNY PACKHAM
Floor sweeping stunners were one of the biggest highlights of the Jenny Packham show. I found the elegant yet ethereal nature of the gowns to be a hit (especially with the drapery and the embellishments).
ALTUZARRA
I saw a lot of Tibetan influences in this collection, from the fringe and pailettes to the fur and patterns. I loved Joseph's subtle hints of modernization throughout his pieces too.
CHRISTIAN SIRIANO
Ah! Christian has grown so much since Project Runway! Beautifully cut dresses and simple yet daring silhouettes were absolutely amazing in his collection.
HELMUT LANG
This collection was a great embodiment of fall style (the next best being Rag & Bone, I think). The way the leather was fashioned was amazing, I love the cut and silhouette of the first leather jacket. Beautiful speckled prints, a HL regular, were also plentiful on pants, dresses, and blouses.
HERVE LEGER BY MAX AZRIA
Max Azria's collection showcased his true talent-leather harnesses, sandals, and a beautiful range of gladiator inspired pieces decorated the models at Herve Leger. The intricacy of the leather harnesses contrasted well with the strong bodies of his dresses.
J. MENDEL
My favorite pieces in this collection were the first two looks--the head to toe winter white in different silhouettes was amazing. I love the simple elegance of his gowns too, so red carpet.
KIMBERLY OVITZ
Ovitz's beautiful fall collection consisted of rough motorcycle jackets, casual draped dresses and chic body-hugging bandage dresses. Again, texture and silhouette were nicely played with despite the monotone scheme.
PETER SOM
The sharp peplums and sheer overlays made this collection one of my favorites. I also liked how there was a contrast between the fitted dresses and the voluptuousness of the sleeves in the beginning and towards the end of the collection.
PRABAL GURUNG
Yes, Prabal deserves 4 sets of pictures. The collection was breathtakingly stunning and (I pretty much have no more adjectives to describe it) his concept was amazing (read more about it on Style.com) I loved the how the color palette shifted from black, blue, and white, to glimmering gold. I sensed a carryover of the digital print mania from last season (which was #totesamaze), but he reworked it beautifully. Great texture, styling, use of detail, and fabrics. Applause.
PROENZA SCHOULER
The volume in this collection is just INSANE! I didn't realize how the Orient tied into the collection until I saw the last few pieces. The exquisite bird embroidery and floral silk prints had me thinking that the initial pieces resembled origami folds of paper.
RAG & BONE
The epitome of FALL! Loved the merciless layering and beautiful palette of deep, rich coloration. Even the individual pieces could be gorgeous by themselves. Great coats--got me wanting some ombre wool in my life.
RED VALENTINO
The girliness inside me was squealing with delight at this lovely collection. Feminine frills, lace, and a perfect scheme of pastels and a variety of different pieces and styles made this a collection worth thumbing through.
SUNO
Can you say floral and mixed prints?! I've bought a few pieces of different florals just to do this. While the organic prints are entirely different, Suno manages to make them look undeniably chic and cohesive. Beautiful.
WES GORDON
Cascading high-low hems were a major highlight in this collection. The full skirts and jewel tone hues made it even better! (Plus, how gorgeous is that second to last lace dress?!)
Hope you enjoyed my mini reviews of my favorite NYFW collections.
It's time for LONDON!
