desert & designs

What up, hoes! :')



So here's my inspiration for my next two designs. My main influence from this photo was just the warm colors and the "lazy" feeling the heat gives you. When it gets super hot no one wants to wear body hugging clothing. That's where i got the idea for my romper and batwing hoodie. Both are very loose and baggy so it's very comfortable and still stylish :).

So those are my two newest designs! I'm actually excited about these two pieces because it's different from my other work. It's for one not a dress. I started out having just the trim and beads from the romper. After I saw the desert picture I wanted to really bring that "heated" and "warm" feeling from a hot day into an outfit.

I am currently in the process of sketching out a new dress. It'll be hot! I promise!
Till next time...

Stay sexy, everyone. C'est si bon!

Fame Monster

What up, hoes! :')

Yeah I know it took me awhile...but here's a new post! This weekend will be super eventful soo i'll barf a bunch of posts by sunday! :) Stay tuned !

TONIGHT, was Lisa's birthday! Here are some photos of her birthday! (AND MY OUTFIT ;] )

hmm What am i WEARING YOU ASK?!?!
1. Blazer
2.Tank
3.Leather pants :) :) :) :)
Not too formal...not too casual...I guess you can say it was FORSUAL...(or just semi-formal?) haha I DONT KNOW BUT YEAH. I like to layer black most of the times,

BUTTTT here's my little SHPIEL about it! When layering blacks, it looks a lot better if the articles of clothing are of different materials! This way you dont look super goth wearing head to toe cotton black. UNLESS THATS LIKE YOUR SORTA THING! THEN YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD AND WORK IT OUT, GIRL!

Layering different materials adds different layers of textures when in the light. THIS IS GOOD when you're not wearing patterns and just a bunch of solids! This way you're outfit isn't so blan and boring! so LAYER black, but layer with different materials of black for a little ZIIINGG! For instance, My cotton blazer with my PLEATHER PANTS! THAT SAYS ZIIINGG my brethens! ZINGGGG!

Yeah so This post is dedicated to my new leather pants. I SHOULD SAY PLEATHER ACTUALLY. Yeah too scared to wear real leather. PETA is gonna get all up in that. hide in a bush and jump out, ambush me, and spray paint me :( So yeah pleather.... save animals everyone... ... ... or else.. you will be spray painted :(


Also, I'm back in my "studs" phase! Can't get enough of em! Here's a close up of my pleather pants and studded belt. (Yeah, i know. A stud is missing but whatevs you get the point).

TONIGHT WAS ALSO A GOOD NIGHT BECAUSE............I JUST GOT LADY GAGA CONCERT TICKETS! :):)!!!!

"I just want to travel around the world and sleep with really good looking people."

Second-Hand

What up, hoes! :')

Tonight, Shelly and I went to the Living Room in downtown La Jolla to do some studying. Kinda got some French hw done kinda of not. She got no Econ hw done. But anyway...picture time! so enjoy! (oh and the photos are kind of bad quality...but you all have eyes... so yeah just squint and imagine it as amazing quality or something! )

So.. my outfit was actually a bunch of cheap shit I got at a vintage store.
1. Denim Jacket -$3
2. Jeans - $10
3. Boots - $10
4. Dog Tag- $1

The point I was trying to prove in this blog wasssss that you don't necesarily need to spend a shit ton of money to make an outfit look good! When I got the clothes, I altered it on my dinky little sewing machine so it fit me the way I wanted it to!

GET IT?! SECOND HAND SMOKE..SECOND HAND CLOTHING... GET IT?!? GET IT?!? ITS A PUN! :) But seriously, I encourage everyone to go check out vintage shops. Sustainability by recycled clothing everyone! Help the environment out!

@The Living Room
French HW kicking my ass.Economics kicking Shelly's ass.Get it, girl!

Shelly's outfit:
1.Cardigan- $3
2.Denim boy shorts- $5
**originally were pants but she altered them!
3.Belt- $1

Again, try going to second-hand clothing shops and find random stuff and fix it up andalter them! Get your creative juices flowing! You don't always necessarily have to spend a lot of money for a smokin outfit! GET IT SMOKIN... SMOKING.... GET IT?! okay well I hope you all got a little kick out of this pun-ful blog. SUSTAINABILITY! Till next time ...
Stay sexy, everyone. C'est si bon!

Plastics Make it Possible!

What up, hoes! :')
So, I went to the GenArts Fashion Show in LA Last Thursday Oct, 29 with my fellow bloggers Chery, Crystal, and Jenn. Together we formed the "fuckapellas." Long story. Anyway, Sorry for the delay of a post for this event, I was too busy being a lazy piece of shit.

So overall, it was a nice venue, nice night, and decent clothes. Nothing too exciting. To be honest, the clothes on stage I felt have been done before. Nothing really caught my eye, except one collection (you'll see what I'm talking about.) Also, I met a couple other amazing bloggers! I'll link you guys to their sites in a bit, but in the meantime, read on!

My first impression when I walked into the room was, " THERE'S SO MANY TALL, SKINNY, AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE...WEARING ALL BLACK! " hahah You know it's a fashion show when there's only an open bar with alchohol and no food. Sigh. I repeat, there was no food :(. It's okay, I fed my fat ass some Jack in the Box later that night.

SO, enough talking and on with the pictures! Enjoy! :)


The very lovely Hostess of the night, Kaley Cuoco.




Nice, cute clothes. Missing a little UMPH to it however.
This is the piece that I liked the most in that collection. It's very elegant yet not too formal. The color is great and the fabric looks so light. I love it.
Dunno If I'd wear floor- lengthed nipple tassels, buttt that's still cool!
THAT'S SO LI'L KIM!

Love the concept of this designer. It stood out the most for me in the show. It was very visually pleasing compared to the others. Kudos to a aesthetically exciting collection my brethren!


Me and some pretty, skinny ass bitch. WHO WORKED IT BTW :)!!


SEE, I TOLD YOU!:):) GET IT, GIRL!

I enjoyed this collection as well. Reminds me of some pieces from Marc Jacobs' spring 2009 collection in regards to the high water pants and the cut of the jackets. My favorite item was the trouser shorts! Wish I had a pair!



More pictures of really tall, beautiful people!
Delicious.
PAT YO WEAVE, GIRL!


Stampd' shoes. http://www.stampdla.com/home/
Favorite pair of the collection. Met the designer. Nice guy. Great shoes!


Not from Stampd', but still love them! Love me some khaki colored patent leather dress shoes.

Alright! Those were some photos of the show courtesy of Crystal Shei ( 1/4 of the Fuckapellas ). Hope you guys enjoyed them! Now usually I would hope people would get some style ideas from my blog and wear them in public...but..please don't wear floor length nipple tassels...UNLESS THATS LIKE YOUR KINDA THING. Then go ahead and work it out! Til Next time...
Stay sexy,everyone. C'est si bon!

Minor Details

What up, hoes! :')

This one's about making your outfit better with minor details. Just the smallest and simplest details will make the biggest difference.

1. If your outfit is just different layers of plain colored clothing, add a small item with some pattern in! I threw in a hankercheif around my neck !
2. Roll up your sleeves and scrunch them up! Add some texture into your outfit! I rolled up my pants and blazer sleeves.
3. Add some simple accessories. If you're not too wild about bold accessories, add some neutral colored ones that will go with ultimately everything. I wear my beaded bracelets everyday. I added a pocketwatch and a bag/ backpack/ murse/ manbag whatever!

My inspiration was a 20's-30's kind of feel. I added my own shit to really make it more personalized. Remember, don't let the inspiration own you. You take it to make your look a little better!
Stay sexy, everyone! C'est si bon!
