Shopping: Kyla Emman's Back 2 School Haul

I never thought i would ever actually do (or post) a haul video before. I was never one of those people who appreciated the jealous feeling a haul video produces when your fashion inspirations gush about all the cool pieces they bought. But now that hauling is becoming a popular trend and i got around to actually doing one, i have decided that the best way to show you what i purchased was to make a video. Hope you enjoy it.

INTRODUCING BEBE - ADDICTION

Trendy apparel store Bebe is known for constantly introducing customers to new clothing lines.

The PH8, Kardashian's, and the Pussy Cat Dolls collections are just a few that have been added the Bebe roster. Now, the industry is buzzing about Bebe's latest label Addiction. Addiction features figure fitting frocks, embellished tees and luxe leggings. I guess the title "Addiction" and the slogan "get your fix" are quite appropriate for the Manhattan teens scene considering most city kids are flying high on drugs daily. Don't judge me for passing judgment either, I'm just saying it as i see it every other day.

Perhaps the addiction Bebe was hinting at was a shopping addiction above anything else. Either way, i cant wait to get my fashion fix of those amazing party dresses!

HAUTE OR NOT? - KIM K

This chick doesn't need an introduction, we all know who she is! The question is, what do you think about her outfit? Personally, i love the SENA cutout dress she has on. The frock is simple, sophisticated and sexy but I'm not sure that it's classy since Kim's body is very voluptuous in this tiny number. I would surely sport this LBD out to dinner, my style isn't very conservative. After all, like my grandma says "if you got it, flaunt it!" But not everyone has the same view points as i. I'm not saying that classy is what Kim was going for or should aspire to, but i ask: Would you wear this dress out on the town?  Do you think this is sexy or slutty? Is it Haute or Not?

I want to hear your opinions! Drop a comment below!

MY FAVE LOOKS FROM CHANEL CRUISE 2011

The Chanel Cruise 2011 was a big success. I can literally pick out a warehouse of pieces that i would love to have in my closet. Although that is my usual feeling when i see some Chanel, its not usually that way with one collection. Karl continues to surprise the fashion industry with new innovative looks that are somehow still reminiscent of Chanel herself. Check out some (or many) of my fave looks below:

Fabulous right?!

BLAST FROM THE PAST: TIE DYE

To some people the phrase "Tie-Dye" may seem so outdated. When we hear it we think of hippie parents wearing tie-dye shirts with unruly hair and peace sign necklaces at Woodstock. However, tie-dye is making a major comeback on the runway with designers like Oscar de la Renta and Rebecca Minkoff using them in their collections. Don't be afraid to insert some tie-dye pieces to your wardrobe! Here are some of tie-dyed pieces that i would wear:

Tory Burch Super Skinny tie-dye Jean $195.00

Rebecca Minkoff Easy Rider Leather Shoulder Bag/Clutch $375.00

David Lerner Tie-Dye Leggings $100

Gryphon 'The Knot' Tie Dye Dress $250

Oscar de la Renta Tie Dye Ribbon Cut Dress $2,490

Melie Bianco Mulri Chain Bucket Bag $70

Up and coming designer watch: The Kardashian sisters?

Reality TVs favorite sisters, the Kardashians teamed up with Bebe to create a fashion line inspired by their own personal style picks. After a much talked about debut at New York Fashion Week earlier this year, the second part of the Kardashian by Bebe collection is now available online and in Bebe stores. Yesterday, i stopped by the Columbus circle Bebe store to check out the line and i was very pleased to find pieces that worked for my body type. I am a petite girl with curves, i have a behind that rivals both Kim's and JLo's rear ends. So, finding a collection that was basically tailored for my figure was amazing, not to mention that every piece in the collection was totally my taste. Its weird that i liked the collection so much considering i don't think the Kardashian sisters are exactly fashion icon material yet. But even so, the collection is fabulously put together. Here are some pic's from the line:

 Interesting right?

PH8 by Bebe's new SPRING collection!

Today i received an email from Bebe's PR gurus alerting me about PH8's newest collection for spring. I love the relaxed rocker vibe of the new pieces! Here are some pictures of my favorite looks and what i think about them!

"This jacket is so versatile. You could wear it jogging in Central Park or to a party in the East Village."
" This look is so something i would wear. Black? Check. Stripes? Check. Sky high heels? Check."
"The bright blue hue of this jacket makes me look forward to spring weather!"
"The overall look of this outfit screams Model Off Duty."
"If Olivia Palermo was both a socialite and a skateboarder, she would totally sport this look."
"These shorts look like garbage bags but they are to die for."

All pieces are in stores now! Let me know what you think!
