I recently came back from japan, about a week before the earthquake. I absolutely loved japan and feel really terrible about what they had to go through. I wanted to share some polaroids I took there:Ryokan hotelKyotoGarden in KyotoShibuya 109View of TokyoShinjuku=

Last weekend I got the chance to go to another Rachel Antonoff show. The theme this time was prom and it was held at LaGuardia high school. The gym was decorated like a classic prom and reminded me of the virgin suicides prom scene, with a disco ball hanging from the basketball hoop, and a band playing (only The Like is too cool to play at a real high school prom). The tables were filled with

So in my film class at school we were watching Shadow of a Doubt, a Hitchcock film noir. We were discussing Hitchcock's infatuation with the simple suburban family life and how he picked apart something so average and familiar, and made it into something frightening. In Shadow of a Doubt, an average Californian girl feels empty and that her family has no soul. Her wish that her uncle comes to

So I haven't written on my blog in a while!!! And I've been meaning to do a post about the fashion show I went to back in September. I was invited to go to the Nanette Lepore fashion show through a friend and I had an amazing time. First off, I have to say that I was freaking out just a little bit. I was walking up to the show when I saw Andre Leon Talley, towering over me surrounded by paparazzi

So a couple of days ago, I went to the designer Rachel Antonoff's fashion show. I've been 2 times before, and her shows have always been extremely original and fun. Her fashion shows aren't traditional walking down the runway shows, but something completely different. The first show of hers that I went to was in a theater, with elaborate sets placed on the stage, ballerinas swinging on swings and

I love this (not so new) band The Noisettes. They're British and I don't really know how to explain their music. Maybe kind of poppy with some soul in there? I don't know, I'm not a music writer. They're really great and you should check out their other albums and music, but today, I wanted to write about the lead singer Shingai Shoniwa. She is beautiful and an amazing singer, and of course, I'm

Ok, ok I'll tell you... instead of "Fashion through the mind of a 15 year old girl" now it is 16.

Last winter I went to a Teen Vogue fashion event thing where teenagers who are interested in fashion can hear professionals speak about their work (I actually got inspired for this blog while I was there). I heard a couple of people speak including Diane Von Furstenberg who was great. I also heard Cynthia Rowley, another designer speak. She showed us this cute little video for one of her

Bonjour à tous!I'm back from France!!!!! After being away for a little more than a month, it is really nice to be back home in New York. I definitely missed my city, but I feel a little nostalgic when I hear people speaking french on the street. My trip was SOOOO much fun and really hard at times. I stayed with a French woman and went to school 5 days a week (for about half a day). Then, the rest

So, I am going to France tomorrow and I just wanted to say goodbye because I probably won't be updating my blog in France. You never know, I do have a camera and access to a computer, so I might be able to put up a post or two, but chances are I won't so I will see you in August!!!!!!Love,Sophia

Designers Resort 2011 collections have been walking down the runway and posing for the cameras this summer. Here are a few of my favorite looks from these resort collections.Erin Fetherston. I love this dress, and everything about it, like the fabric, draping, and scalloped bottom. I think that Erin Fetherston is a really talented young designer and I love the girly style she brings to her

There has been a lot of buzz around the show at the Museum of Modern Art featuring the famous performance artist Marina Abramovic. The show, called The Artist is Present is exactly what it sounds like... the artist is present. Marina sits in a chair in the atrium of the museum, with a white dress, a chair across from her, lights pointed down, and a blank expression. The whole show gives off a

So yesterday I was in Manhattan with my brand new Cannon G9 camera!!! I just got my camera a couple of days ago and still don't know how to use it completely, but I decided to take some pictures around Chelsea. They are pretty random, just some inspiration...Graffiti on the street that I thought was cute.Wall paper at an art exhibit in a warehouse. I think this would make a really good print for

So, I had a post coming up about a vintage store, but I lost my camera yesterday, and the photos with it, so this is now going to be a lazy post. I watched this movie the other day, and found it really inspiring, so I thought I would share a great clip from it. The movie is called Mystery Train. During the movie, three different stories are told, all on the same night, ending the next morning in

The whole mood of these pictures really triggered the thought of The Virgin Suicides for me. The book and movie are about 5 sisters in a small town. They have dreamy personalities and a mystery about them. The neighborhood

I take classes at the fashion college F.I.T (Fashion Institute of Technology). Right now, I am taking a draping class on saturdays. It is sooooo much fun and I am learning a lot. Today, we finished draping our straight skirts, and we made ruffles on it, so our professor decided to let us do whatever we wanted to them to make it our own. I was surprised that she was letting us let out so much

I got the newest issue of Lula Magazine a few weeks ago and couldn't contain my excitement. I couldn't wait to read it. The first time I read Lula, I was enthralled, and extremely inspired. If me and my friends want to do a photo shoot or make a movie, and can't think of any ideas for it, I immediately go to Lula, flip through a couple of the pages, and bam, I know exactly what I want to do.

Today I decided to paint my pink keds. I can't take all of the credit; I was inspired by a girl at my class at the Fashion Institute of Technology, who had painted her keds with small polka dots. So when I didn't have much homework, and had nowhere to be, I decided to get creative and get out the paint. On the back I wrote I heart BKLYN (brooklyn), and I painted hearts on the front as you can see

Today I went to the Rachel Antonoff fashion show, except I probably wouldn't call it a fashion show. I would call it a fashion presentation, or a fashion mystery. Going into the Lafayette House (a hotel where the show took place) the lighting was low, and there was music playing. First, they gave us a little sheet about the theme of the show:It is pretty self explanatory, a murder has taken place

Ross Menuez Fashion Show: Fashion shows don't always entail walking down a runway with blasting music in your ears and photographers snapping pictures of the models at the end. The models don't always have sky scraping heels and a menacing look on their faces. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll go to a fashion shows where the models don't walk down the runway, they swing in plastic hanging chairs

Couture, also known as High Fashion, is confusing. Known for handmade, extravagant and often eccentric clothing, high fashion is not very accessible for your average person. Prices can be as much as $20,000, even more. So, like many of you, I am mystified by it. But fashion is fashion, and no matter what the purpose, it is still entertaining. Besides, most fashion that I see on the runways isn't

What comes to mind when you think "organic"? Ugly comfortable shoes? Dull, boring colors? Knitting? Farmers markets? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against any of these things, but they are definitely not the most fashionable things in the world. So when I was reading about John Patrick's organic collection on Fashionista.com today, I was a little weary. But, curiosity got the best of me and

Yesterday I went to Manhattan to look at the Christmas windows. In Bryant Park, little mini-stores are set up temporarily. A store caught my eye, selling vegan shoes made in Colombia. One kind that they sold, which looked like a mix between Nikes, Guatemalan print and 80's exercise shoes stopped me in my tracks, and I had to go in and try them on. They didn't have my size in the color that I

I saw this photo shoot in this month's Teen Vogue, and loved it. It was all about cliques at school and which one you should be in.

Mix and match is almost always part of my outfit, whether it is a striped shirt and floral skirt, or just two different
