Don't be a Drag, be a Queen.

I wore this outfit before the blizzard hit us here in Chicago. I don't really like winter weather and I especially hate snow. I'm hoping all this damn snow melts soon so I can return to wearing queen shoes...Hahaha

My friend and I did our nails this week with Sally Hansen's 'Salon Effects,' aka DIY Minx ... They're pretty cool but I wouldn't pay $10 for them again.

Been searching for this shaggy yarn coat for almost 2 years and finally found another one online! Such an amazing piece. I wish I knew the year of it. Early 70's?

1960's Parisian Chic

I wore this over the weekend to a family member’s wedding. The dress was a thrift find- only $5! Originally it was a maxi dress, but I shortened it to a mini for a more ’1960’s teenage bubblegum’ vibe. 

The strangest part about this dress is inside the label says ‘Fashioned by Betty D.’ Last season on Mad Men, Betty Draper (played by January Jones) wore an identical dress while pregnant! So cool!

This outfit makes me feel like I should be in the Miss Dior Cherie campaigns! All I need are a bunch of balloons! :)

I'M BACK!!

I've been so busy with school lately, but I'll be posting more outfit posts more regularly!

F21 skirt, sweater, shoes. Coach bag. 212 parka.

These are so badass, perfect mary-jane platform. They look so similar to Miu Miu S/S10!

Paper Hermes Bracelets

Made this paper collier de chien bracelet from Hermes’ facebook fan page- they are available to print out. All you do is cut & glue them yourself! They’re similar to origami & are a lot of fun! You can download them here!

I've been wearing my new Levi's jeans almost everyday! They did a great job with the fit and fabric choice- they really feel like an old pair of your boyfriends well loved jeans.

The Striped Shirt: 3 Different Ways

This is one of my favorite shirts for so many reasons- it was inexpensive, it can be dressed up or down and it goes great with anything and everything!

The Party Look

Wearing a black tulle dress from Target with the striped top. I pulled the top in the back to make it more of a crop top. The vintage harness adds an edge to this pretty 1950s girly look and the hot pink lipstick gives the a pop of color!

The Coco Look

I call this the CoCo look because it reminds me of Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel- the wide legged khaki pants balance out the horizontal lines of the striped top. The red lipstick gives it a classic touch.

The Every Day Casual Look

The stripe top is paired with a white blazer and cuffed ‘boyfriend’ pair of Levi’s to give it a modern feel. The pink scarf gives femininity to this rather tomboyish look.

She's A Rainbow

This past week, I've been going through a vinyl phase. I'm trying to build up my own collection of LPs that aren't my parents. My current obsession is the Bee Gees- "Bee Gees 1st" Album from 1967. The artist who drew the album artwork, Klaus Voormann, also did the Beatles "Revolver".

Love this artwork as well-

I recently entered Chictopia's contest, Chictopia10. It is an amazing opportunity to attend their conference in New York during Fashion Week. Here is what I wrote for my entry:

"I love Chictopia because it is a creative medium of expression for me. It’s an opportunity to present my ideal of fashion, my influences and discoveries. I love hearing the feedback from Chictopia members and viewing their styles as well. I’m positively influenced by you Chictopians! Together we are a group where we can be ourselves, and be accepted for it. Thanks for a great year of inspiration and support!"

The dress I am wearing was a vintage eBay find. It was only $1, seriously! It is all handmade of wool, with incredible details. It was truly an amazing, one of a kind find.

I am not quite sure what era this is from. I'm thinking 1980's? If anyone knows of a website that is all about vintage garments, please let me know! I would love to dedicate a website to the beauty of vintage pieces.

My good friend, Lenny Gilmore took this photos for me. Please visit his website!

The 60's Harness

I’ve owned this vintage harness/necklace for so long now. My grandma gave it to me about 5 years ago- I believe it was a relatives from the 1960’s. It is an amazing piece! I’ve always been perplexed on how to incorporate it into my wardrobe, until now. I haven't been able to find any other belts/necklace pieces quite like this!

Rodarte for Target: Lace Print

These two Rodarte pieces magically showed up at my Target, on-sale. The fabric of the dress feels similar to silk crepe, it’s really pretty.

Normally I don’t wear t-shirts but this one is an exception. It came with a bow, which I attached my pearl necklaces. I got a few other Rodarte pieces- leopard print dress & swiss blue tulle dress. Not quite sure if I’m keeping them though.
