neil does it again

ive fallen in love with his latest set of photos. not just because the model is val, who happens to be one best people you will ever meet, but because i think the styling is minimally wonderful, the lighting is beautiful, and the makeup juxtaposes so well with the clothes, check out his site if you havent already.

i just adore girls on bikes, dont you?

inspiration as of late.
im sorry i dont remember the source of all the photos. most are googled.

dripping jewels

a few weeks ago i picked up my friend david for a hangout sesh and he gave me a little present. its a jacket i saw him wear in a photo and i just loooved and adored it. im really glad he thought of me when he decided to recycle the jacket. its now my new favorite piece. its really beautiful in person. thanks again, david!

classic shirt

(funktional shirt, floral bib necklace, aa opaque tights, jeffrey campbell sudded creepers)

ive always loved a crisp white shirt. i recently bought this one by funktional that has cut out shoulders. its a nice twist to the classic white shirt. i found this bib necklace at my school's scholarship store. at $2 i really couldnt say no. its the perfect addition to a collared shirt, much like a bowtie, but more feminine.

a few weeks ago i went to an art show at barracuda. i really cant remember much from that night, but kelly sent me this photo she had of us. and of course i donned another white shirt. its been my uniform lately.

shimmer

last week i learned how to make bustiers. its probably one of the garments i enjoy making the most. there are so many options and different directions you can go. in class we were asked to make a bustier + skirt combo. i made it out of a slightly shimmery light pink fabric and the skirt is sort of a patchwork panel of pinks and silver. very girly, i know. i took it a step further by adding chains, sequins, and pearls on the front of the bustier (inspiration taken from the miu miu tights).

ps. sorry the skirt is so wrinkled. :P

frenzy

(bf's vintage stripe shirt, bib necklace from school, aa draped skirt and tights, jil sander shoes, h&m bag)

my outfit friday night to see new moon with the bf. the whole twilight/new moon thing is really taking over the world. everywhere i turn something twilight is there. and quite frankly, im not ashamed to say.. i kind of like it.

ps. the movie was really really good!

golden delight

usually i dread retrieving the mail, due to a sea of unpaid bills. but on occasion there are days when im actually delighted to see what i find in the mailbox. this is one of those times. lanvin, you make me a very happy girl. :)
