Shoes Galore!

well, today I was going to post about the amazing shoes from this year's Paris Fashion Week.

But while I was looking for pictures i got a little...um...distracted.
So instead I am going to show you some amazing Betsey Johnson shoes I found during my procrastination.

and Voila!

Those would be my picnic shoes! They are beautiful, can't you imagine sitting under a gazebo with a frilly dress on, wearing these shoes? (yes, that is my version of a picnic)

SEXY SEXY SEXY! hehe
well, they are! Can't deny that!
I absolutely love the ribbon, perfect finishing touch!



These shoes remind me of Barbie, don't you love 'em?



And these will be my Valentines Day shoes. as well as my every other day shoes. HeHe

And last but not least.....

These shoes are better than life itself! especially the ones on the top left. I would take a bullet for those!

well, that's all! enjoy!

Amazing Prints (part 1)

Today I start my segment of "Amazing Prints" (whether or not there will ever be a part two is undecided)

Here is my first example, I found it in 'fashion' the november issue. I saw it and I fell in LOVE!

You guys dont know how much I want to wear this dress!



(although I must admit, it looks better on a model, than in this picture)

Anyways, check out this print, it starts as houndstooth then transforms into beautiful birds!

I imediattely though of this Escher drawing, whether that was the original intention or not is debatable.



See the resemblace? Amazing! I love it!

well, thats all for today!

Cannon Ball?

Well, I am here to re-start my poor, abandoned blog. i mean, its been just over a month since my last post!

luckily I found something I just needed to see to start the ball rolling! (again)

This beautiful dress from Viktor & Rolf spring collection from Paris fashion week.



Is that not amazing?
Of course this isn't the best picture, as you only see one of the "cannon ball" holes.

There are actually three, another midway down the left of the skirt, and one at the very bottom on the right.

though I'm wondering: how did they get it to keep perfect shape after cutting giant holes in it?

I'm sure there is some wiring or something, but still AMAZING!
not to mention how beautiful the gathering on the top is!

yup this is amazing! no doubt about it.

from now on, EVERYONE should fire cannon balls through their skirts...or not. :)

Day 22--Final Product

well, It's Day 22, tomorrow is the first day back.

After long days of research, I has finally come to my last post.

And I only missed what...10 posts? pretty good! huh? huh?

fine. be that way.

Anyways, I do believe I have come to a conclusion.

I was right in my first post. pink bubble dress and leather jacket are still the best combo.

until I remembered it's gonna be warm tomorrow. So scratch the leather jacket.

Now re-imagine.

Pink bubble dress on top of grey plaid skinny jeans and band t-shirt, with peter pan boots,and statement bangles.

Wow, I just summed up like 10 posts all in one outfit.

I LOVE this blog!

well, that is all for today, but I will be back to plan my winter wardrobe. thanks for tuning in!

Au Revoir!!

Day 15-- Print/Skinny Jeans

Today's topic is about a particular article of clothing which has plagued my dreams for weeks.

Print/Skinny Jeans.



I say both because, well, both terrify me.

I'm not saying they are ugly, on the contrary, I think they are BEAUTIFUL! magnificent!....if you are tall and thin, with no hips whatsoever.

Which as I have already pointed out, is not me. I have even tried on a few pairs of skinny jeans. Of course, Most of the time they wouldn't fit over my thighs.

And yet, with some help from my mom, I managed to haul a pair of dark purple plaid skinny jeans into the change room. I tried them on with a long smock style plaid blue top. And the result was amazing!

Not only did I look thinner, I even looked taller! And the top went past my hips, assuring the jeans didn't make them look huge.(which unfortunately they do without the smock top)

Needless to say I bought 2 pairs (in purple and grey) and am proudly wearing them right now.

Viva Les Skinny Jeans ;)*

Day 11/14--- Henna

Today's topic is Henna.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Henna is a temporary tattoo, it lasts anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. I could go into more detail, but it is nearly midnight, and I'm tired.

Anyways, I got a free henna done the other day, I figured its pretty, and it is harmless. After all, it disappears in 3 weeks.

Well, Henna isn't that harmless after all. Not if you have to get it off in a hurry.

It turns out i have 1 week for my tattoo to disappear.

And thanks to wiki how, yahoo answers and various other 'how to' websites. I am (hopefully) on my way to being Henna free!

Here are some techniques listed.

1-Soak the tattoo in salt water for 15 minutes, everyday until it bleaches off.

2- Go swimming everyday, the more chlorine the better.

3-Keep area well moisturized, it helps remove excess skin.

Sounds like good ideas.

And I'm sure they are, But I discovered a different way. Thank you to whoever randomly decided to try this out then post it online.

Toothpaste.

That's right, tooth paste can get rid of Henna.

So everyday since I got my tattoo, I have spent 15 minutes scrubbing toothpaste all over it.

And it works surprisingly well!

If you ignore that I am probably rubbing off the rest of the skin with it, and I will probably end up with a giant bruise.

Well, the price of Beauty!

The moral of the story, Always get tattoos in places where you can hide them. Just in case.

Day 8/10-- Prints

prints can be a terrifying thing.it is so easy to go from fashionable to tacky.

For example, you put the zebra print shrug over a purple leopard tunic with the black and white pin stripe suit pants and the amethyst pendant with metallic pumps and voila. You have a horrendous getup.*

That doesn't mean you should just stay clear of all prints. or even from mixing print.

Just follow these steps, and you will be strutting your stuff in beautiful polka dot zebra print dresses.(or not)

1- Mix big prints with small prints.
The bigger print should be where you want the eye to look. Just don't mix two big prints. That is just overkill.

2- Wear solid accessories
Adding a belt or jacket in a solid is a great way to separate the print.
Try not to let them blend together, prints are supposed to catch the eye, not be visually challenging.

Not feeling bold enough to mix to prints in the same outfit? add the extra prints in your accessories, like leopard print shoes and lace earring. It adds a pop to the outfit without being overpowering.

Multiple prints are one of my newest favourite looks.
Yesterday I pulled together an all print outfit for a party.
a pink polka dotted shrug on a solid black tank top. tucked into a blue plaid skirt. With a white small plaid scarf with a corduroy flower broach.

It may sound tacky, but trust me, it worked.

the moral of the story.

Prints are as harmless as a lion.....while it is sleeping.
