Fashion Changeling

So I don't know if you guys have heard of the new model Lea T, she is beautiful exotic and has a sick body. She also has a little something extra... Lea T is transgender. While this is a touchy subject for most people I think it is extremely refreshing that the fashion world is opening their eyes to all types of bodies. Beauty is no longer being defined, by size or height, or sexual orientation.
Although many people believe the fashion world is extremely fickle, they have opened their eyes to different types of people. For once I can honestly say we can all learn something from the fashion world.

I'm Starting To Feel Like The Velveteen Rabbit

So I feel like the one of the trends most fashionistas/fashionesters are most split on is the velvet trend. While most of the bloggers I follow hate it I am an absolute fiend for velvet, it is actually getting kinda gross. This fall i have purchased not one but two velvet dresses and a velvet blazer. Yesterday I even put in an order for velvet rouched leggings. I honestly may need to put myself in velvet rehab.
I don't get why so many fashion people out there are against velvet, its a great fall/winter material. For example I am wearing a very simple long sleeved baby doll dress but because it's velvet I feel a bit spiffier. I think it just looks so luxe and comfy.

Anyways here are some of my velvet suggestions, as well as a picture of me looking a fool trying to take a picture on photobooth. The things I do for my readers....

Free People ( I own this heh)
Forever 21 (This too)
Urban Outfitters
Urban Outfitters (Just ordered these bad boys/ Also seen in NYLON this month)

Uninspired.

So readers lately I have to say that I have been less than inspired by the fashion and street fashion I have been seeing. I am currently tired of this hipster chic that every girl is sporting and every store is selling. I mean I feel like I have even fallen into a rut just putting my chambray shirt over everything. So tell me readers what would you like see more of in the fashion industry?
So here is  a little fashion candy/my current inspiration Ms. Leighton Meester looking fab in a recent magazine.
