Happy Birthday, Blog!

So here we are! One year, 240 posts later! 

It has been such an adventure and I have loved every bit of it! Thank you so much for all your comments, emails and support! Thank you for reading my blog. I love you Lovelies so much! I have learned so much through this blog and I have made so many friends from around the world. It has helped me gain knowledge of journalism and increased my knowledge of fashion drastically. Thank you for wanting to hear what I have to say and for letting me express myself. I know everyone says it, but I truly love blogging. This blog is always on my mind whether it's post ideas or ways to make it better. I have gained so much and my love of fashion has grown immensely. I really just started out because I knew that I loved fashion, but now I really see that it's something I want as a career. Since the blog has started, I have become a fashion student and had multiple internships (all brought about by the blog!). I'm really unbelievably thrilled at how big the blog has gotten. I have enjoyed this experience more then you know! I always love hearing from you, so drop me a line whenever you can. Once again, thank you thank you thank you, and happy birthday, The Girl In The Check Scarf. Love, Justine.

(I did this for the 6 month mark and I thought I would do it again!) Here are my favorite posts after one year...

It's always been about the inspiring photography that I love so very much.

... I seem to have developed an odd obsession with Balloons.

I can't even begin to count how many posts I have done about red lipstick! Love it.

Celine! Helped me develop a love of simplicity. And I really recived a love of Celine, Chloe and Hermes via the blog.

This image is one of my favorites ever.

I turned 15!

I'm still a brunette! Yes, red hair is GORGEOUS but I like being me.

No, no trips to Paris just yet. But don't worry. It's gonna happen.

It's all about the matchy-ness.

Still crushing on this guy!

This post barley just went up, but it's already one of my favorites!

I love old books.

Whimsical editorials are the best editorials.

I think I have posted every good Emma Watson photo I can get my hands on! I love this girl.

Shoes and chic kids. Oh yes.

Yeah....right....

Okay, when I am married I shall move back to NYC and have a beautiful blonde child (we'll see how that works out because no one in my family is blonde). I will live out my dream as a successful Fashion Buyer for Bergdorf Goodman. I shall have a dog like this one (this dog looks allot like my dog, but I think she'll be REALLY old by the time I'm married, she's already 4). I shall name that dog either Kugel (like the food you eat at Passover) or Ruffles ( my dog's name is Lacy, so it would be Lacy and Ruffles. Now I need to get a dog names Buttons...). We will have a lovely apartment on Lexington Ave.
I will dress my child, whose name will be either Juliet, Holland, Willow, Audery or Charlotte ( now to chose just one name!), in beautiful clothing. I will purchase a bright dress and perfect heels and then I will walk across the street and Tommy Ton will snap my photo.

Oh yeah, my husband will be male model Adrian Bosch------->
Making me Justine Bosch. Sounds famous already, right?

REALITY CHECK
I can dream can't I?

So, hey. I'm new.

Hello wondrous world of blogging! So like it says in the definition thingie under the blog title, I love high fashion with a passion. It all started a couple of years ago when I was walking in manhattan with my grandmother and we needed to stop into Saks 5th ave. I had never even heard of it before. I walked in and thought "Where am I? What is this place? It's so pretty! Look at all these gorgeous wonderful things!!!! I want to just stay here forever!!! Is that a Nancy Gonzales bag? I WANT THAT!!!!!". Then a few months later my friend gave me my very first fashion magazine. That was it. I was hooked. High Fashion is a major part of my life. It' s Artwork you can wear! What could be better then that??? Dior! Chanel! Christian Louboutin! It all just makes me happy. I do dress allot differently then my friends. They will be wearing Old Navy jeans and Converse sneakers. I'll be wearing Skinny Jeans and Pearls. I love looking nice every where I go. I guess 'pretty' or 'fancy' would be a good way to describe how I dress. From a young age I went to events with my mom where I had to look pretty, professional and polished. I guess that has kinda stuck with me all this time. You can see why I love Burberry so much. Like right now, I have on knee high black boots, a gray shirt with small poof sleeves, 2 strings of pearls, and a white cuff bracelet. I'm not even going anywhere today. I can't stand being casual. I have to look nice. Otherwise I feel unproductive. I am pretty appalled by the way most teens dress. You know, sweatpants, baggy pants, HAIR SCRUNCHIES? seriously people? I haven't worn sweat pants in public since...ummm I don't think I have ever worn them in public. I don't own a single designer piece. If I did I think it would be a rachel roy coat or a real burberry scarf. the world of fashion just makes me happy. It's beautiful. It's always new, always changing. It's something is know about. Something I'm good at. Something I truly love. I want to be walking on the streets of paris and wearing jimmy choos. I want to be in the front now of the Zac Posen fall show 2025. Fashion is what I want to do. I want to be a professional High Fashion Buyer when I grow up. Haha I'll let you know how all of that works out for me. :) love, -J
