A few days ago the talented Amy Winehouse died. Her premature death caused her to join what is known as the 27 club, which is a group of musicians who passed at the age of 27. Although not completely unexpected it is terribly devastating. Winehouse became one of my favorite musicians after I heard her single Rehab and even though I was too young to fully appreciate her style, I have grown to love her music. She will be missed and never forgotten. RIP Amy. (Title of this post is one of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs)

Tumbl

I've had a tumblr for awhile and since I'm not blogger savvy I don't know how to post the link in my sidebar or whatever so I'm just going to post it here http://marisatumbls.tumblr.com/. My tumblr is mostly photos of things I like and find interesting with a few words here and there, please check it out and follow!

LIFESTYLE. I've been obsessed with the Jeffrey Campbell Suebee's in nude patent (styled in the current trend of flatforms) for a minute and I can finally get them! First, they were sold out in my size on Solestruck when I orginally wanted to buy them for prom, but now they are available at Akira! I will be picking up my pair either tomorrow or Tuesday. Words can't describe how excited I am to have them in my possession eeeee.

Working at Chick-fil-a has been both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because I really like the people I work with and the check that comes every two weeks :), cleaning up after people is no fun at all. 

FASHION. As of late, more and more designer "collabs" have been happening...Zac Posen for Target, Lanvin for H&M and the most recent that will be hitting an H&M near you this fall Versace for H&M. When I first read about this I literally went bananas, especially since I didn't buy anything from the Lanvin collection (which I posted about a looong time ago). Donatella Versace has created classic vinatge-ish Versace pieces for the collection. There will be 40 pieces for women and 20 for men. So be sure to mark your calendars because November 17th will be here before you know it! Below are a few photos of what to expect.
