On Vacation And Forever 21
Hello, hello!I am reporting from the land of Hummers and golf carts. I have witnessed older men driving to Safeway in the comfort of their golfing vehicles. Thinking about it, I guess golf carts are environmentally friendly right?
Anyways, I am super excited because there is a Forever 21 store that is huge, here in AZ! I am talking department store huge, envision Macy's going out of business and Forever 21 purchasing the retail space! I didn't have enough time the other day to explore the endless possibilities of fabulous cheap clothing that needs to be added to my wardrobe. I will let you know what I find.....
I have a new Twitter picture for you guys. I think of my blog everywhere I go!
Oh, My mom took me to this awesome shop in old town Scottsdale yesterday. Everything was imported straight from Mexico and the prices were incredible. (aka dirt cheap) I picked up a hand painted cross for $25. I love all the colors on it, purples and reds, greens etc.
Have a great day! -IFG
And for any readers that live in Arizona, Forever 21 that I am talking about is located in Glendale.

iPhone Fashion Girl's Vacation Update
I want to start out by apologizing for not writing a blog all week. I officially took a vacation from EVERYTHING! And it felt great.I have been here for a week and I am having the best time! I hit up Coffee Bean & Tea leaf every morning for an Ultimate Ice Blended Mocha, followed by fabulous trips to the hottest boutiques. The fashion here in Arizona is extreme. There are a number of girls who are tan-a-holics and look as if they take fashion advice from the manikins posing in the windows of Bloomingdales. One sales clerk referred the women of Scottsdale as “walking, talking, Porn stars”. I do agree that some take the look of perfection too far and end up looking like Barbie. However, I have witnessed some that obtain excellent fashion sense. My mom refers to herself as a transplant and openly states wherever we are that, “everyone that lives here in AZ is most likely from somewhere else.” I have taken notice of the Portland inspired fashion that a lot of AZ girls have. Hippie Fashion!
I hope everyone is having a fabulous day and I will check in with you tomorrow! -IFG

Artist Of The Day: Kanye West
He never fails to impress me. I have to admit that his arrogance completely annoyed me at first. I have gotten past that and I respect the lyrics within his music. Each album has a different style; Kanye’s musical talent stands strong among the rest.His music is truly poetic. Here's a link to a music video by Kanye West performing Amazing .

Hippie Chic - Not Geek
Hi Fashionistas!Its packing time! I’ve decided that my “look” for this trip is going to be hippie chic. I find that when it’s over a hundred degrees outside it helps to be as comfortable as possible. Plus, with hippie fashion your hair can have that wavy and messy look, as long as it’s clean…think flower child when you style your locks.
The only expensive items that I am taking are all my True Religion jeans. I love True Religion’s for many reasons….First, they look so fabulous, it’s crazy how many compliments I receive about them. Second, when you are wearing jeans that cost over $300 people usually assume that everything you are wearing is expensive. Therefore, my trick is I wear really cute inexpensive shirts all the time with my True Religions. I always notice the catty girls as they eyeball me up and down when I walk by. Girls, many of you are not slick and if you really like an outfit that another girl is wearing….It is totally ok to compliment her on it! You might even find out where she shops and you can adopt the same style. And if you hate the outfit, just be thankful you have an evolved style and move on.
If your wallet can handle it I recommend checking out a True Religion store near you. The bags are fabulous…Talk about hippie! They all have that “Mischa Barton” look.

Go Shopping, Don't Worry
Hello Fellow Fashionistas!As the week continues to move along, I am starting to prepare for my trip to Arizona. I have a 9am flight on Saturday, and I am petrified of flying. I hate take off, but once I am in the air, I find that I am immensely amused by all the tiny houses and cars underneath me. I always have to remind myself that if the pilots fail to do their job properly…they are going down with me, and that always makes me feel so much better.The thought of taking prescription “happy pills” right before my flight is all too enticing; Unfortunately, I do not want to be all la la (aka really irresponsible) seeing as though my cat Lily will be accompanying me on US Airways.
So, I am doing everything in my power this week to avoid any “bad thoughts”. I find that shopping makes my worries go away momentarily. So, I made a trip to H&M over the weekend and the summer collection rocks! Bright, fun, and beautiful colors have exploded all over the store….You know the colors that I have been rambling on about for weeks! If you didn’t already know, H&M has cleverly mastered and advertised to the “I love to wear fabulous clothes but I can hardly afford them” crowds, and I hate to say it but….I am a huge fan of disposable clothing. -IFG
~Go check out the fabulously cheap, yet rock’n summer collection at H&M~
