Fashionably Flustered.

As much as Lady Gaga upholds the image of having a crazy style, the act is getting OLD! I am a Gaga fan AKA "Little Monster." I even skipped school to sit in line outside all day to be front row at her Monster Ball Concert in Connecticut! However, I am getting annoyed with the crazy outfits. I have said I would be more impressed if she stepped out in a classic gown for one event and then proceeded to wear something extraordinary to another event. She needs to switch it up because once again the act is getting old. This week she was in NYC and stepped out in a total of 3 crazy outfits but one impressed me because it was a step closer to a purely classic haute couture gown!!! Check it out:

Lady Gaga in Alexander McQueen

#1 This piece is from Alexander McQueen's Fall 2011 collection. It is the ice white zipper detailed dress with a feathered skirt, shoulders and cuffs. The dress was paired with a Alaia belt, a feathered head-piece and McQueen black boots with a metal heel.

Lady Gaga in Alexandre Vauthier

#2 This piece was from the designer's Fall 2011 Couture collection. It is a red fitted dress with  a central split and balloon sleeves, BIG balloon sleeves. The outfit was completed with ruby accessories including platform heels, bug eye sunglasses, and leather gloves.

Lady Gaga in Valentino

#3 I am very impressed with this outfit choice even though it was ruined with the tan fur sole. Unfortunately, this outfit was selected for a photo shoot and not for her own personal choice of attire. She is wearing a gown with a sheer bodice, intricate gold detailing, and a trail into a feathered hem. It was completed with a headpiece and towering heels.

In conclusion, LADY GAGA, CHANGE IT UP!!!!

Blogger Profile: ME!


The life of a teenage girl is pretty standard. Obsessing over boys, gossiping with friends and shopping seem to be the norm. However, I am a workaholic. All through high school, I grew as a person and discovered who I waned to be. I have been a cheerleader my entire life, have great people skills, and spend plenty of time watching TV, texting, and browsing the web. I love going to concerts and red carpet events. I will never forget skipping school for 3 days to meet the Jonas Brothers and be front row at their concert. I have a passion for fashion and pop culture. My mom introduced me to public relations (my current major at STJ) my junior year of high school. It sounded interesting so I tested it out with an internship at InStyle magazine. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Ever since then, I love meeting new people and applying for various internships. I am always at a concert or red carpet event and am constantly meeting celebrities. I believe through these means of networking, I will reach my goal of working for People Magazine or E! News.
