Campus Stroll

So, this is part of campus. Our University. This is considered the "dark" side of campus, because of the lack of people usually on that side. But every dark thing has a glimmer of something beautiful. I mean, just look at the trees that surround us in pictures. Sure, there's probably a number of other campuses with a prettier view and a lot more trees. But we live in Vegas, and this sight is almost rare. So, lo and behold what we think is pretty environment to us. It was a fairly nice day, warm but a little chilly. These are appropriate outfits for going to class and the weather.

Birthday Bloggin'

It's my 20th BIRTHDAY! I can't believe I'm finally done with my 'teen' years. If you read the intro for Jade in the Skies, you could have already predicted my birthday outfit. Yes, sequined dresses are my favorites. I thought my electric blue leather jacket and champagne gold dress complemented each other very well. I even found birthday balloons with the exact same color palette. Unfortunately, a little mishap happened leading to the balloons escaping because of Jordana and our "manager"/photographer, Chrisie. Well it was no one's fault actually, I just like blaming those two girls :) Anyways, the balloons slipped out of my car without our knowledge. Next thing you know, we all see something shiny up in the clear sky among the Red Rock canyon horizon, and think to ourselves, "what is THAT?" Sure enough, they were my balloons, floating away. We could not contain our laughter, trying to figure out how they escaped. It was honestly just a sight to see.

Fall/Winter NYFW in Review: February 13-15, 2012

First of all, I would like to inform all of you that I'm currently listening to the Muppet Treasure Island soundtrack. Second of all, wow, is it just me or did this fashion week go by way too quickly? I would have loved to put a really in-depth review of each collection, but time-wise and energy-wise (I'm sorry I can be a lazy person), it wouldn't have happened. So, that's why many were just to the point, stating key parts about the line. And that's why my post is so late. I now leave you with the not-so-extensive reviews of the rest of fashion week, that "Cabin Fever" and "Sailing for Adventure" from Muppet Treasure Island are my jams and a quote from Muppet Treasure Island because I can do that:
Jim Hawkings: "I hate my life."
Gonzo: "I hate your life too."
Rizzo: "If I had a life, I'd hate it."

Fall/Winter NYFW in Review: February 10-12, 2012

So, I'm a really behind because, to put it lightly, I have a life. As much as I would like to think my life revolves around fashion, it doesn't. I also dedicated all of Saturday to my wonderful college and their amazing basketball team, the #11(which will probably drop, sadly) ranked UNLV Runnin' Rebels. Shout out to MoZilla and The Rebellion! This is going to be the longest post in the history of JITS posts. I would like to condense it, but it's already condensed as it is. I will keep the reviews short, and leave the pictures from the runway to speak for themselves. Expect February 13th and 14th shows on a post tomorrow. On to what to catch up on...

Fall/Winter NYFW in Review: February 9, 2012

Another day, another show(s). I'm not making any sense and a little lazy with the reviews today. I'm still waiting on a garment to blow me away. I guess it's still early in the week. I am loving the colors so far designers have featured. What we've seen so far: bright and burnt orange, chunky shoes, socks with heels, wild patterns, color blocking, midi length dresses, dropped waists and paneling. I can imagine we will see more of that in unique ways. I can only feature so much of my favorites. So I high encourage for others to check out the other collections and the rest of the looks of collections featured.

Fall/Winter NYFW in Review: February 8, 2012

New York Fashion Week! One of my favorite times of the year, featuring some of the more wearable lines. I honestly get giddy with excitement when fashion week is about to start and many people know to stray away from me because I go a little crazy. Just a little, I promise. Yesterday was the kick off of NYFW for a week full of potentially amazing and innovative designs to set the standards for next season's trends. Jordana here, will be keeping you up-to-date posting every day this week with my favorite designers and garments. So be sure to check back daily for my favorite looks!

Through the Desert Alone

Many might be surprised to still see desert land in Las Vegas among all the casinos and bright lights. To us locals, it's normal. Las Vegas is in a desert. So it's no surprise to us that this patch of desert plant life and rocks is down the street from a church and barely a mile away from our old high school. I, Jordana (I secretly like to write and usually hijack the post before the other girls get to it...oops), believe Lia's high-low skirt perfectly matches the desert. It was flowing oh so beautifully and delicately in the breeze. Since I wanted to go really girly with a slight edge, I liked to call my look the "Punk Rock Princess" a la Something Corporate, which was stuck in my head during the shoot. I thought the skulls were appropriate for the desert.

The Lake House

Tule Springs - the little patch of heaven in Las Vegas where it seems like you're not even in Vegas. Refreshing, right? The whole park just screams peaceful getaway from the urban mess a few miles off. Just look at that lake! Gorgeous! You might have to ignore the crazy ducks and geese that have the tendency to chase people. Don't you even dare think about bringing food to feed those crazy animals, they will attack you. Just throw picnics right out the window with Tule Springs. We just sported fun, simple outfits for a fun, warm day at the park.
