Outfits: Dress-up

These shoes are RIDICULOUS. I've been playing around with them ever since I gleefully slipped them on yesterday evening. I'm tempted to go crazy with colors, prints, and accessories but don't want to look like Scary Spice, you know what I mean? Anyway, I can't wait for the weekend so I can actually test these babies out, hehe.First: Ashish for Topshop shoes. H&M dress.Second: Urban Outfitters blazer. H&M dress.

Outfit, Make-up : Embrace the Martian

Wore this during the lazzyy Monday off! I found the rope-detailing on the shoulders of the silver dress (worn as top) to be less band-leader and more futuristic (think: fashionable Star Trek crew member, ha). Anyway, I finished it off with a shiny maroon skirt, minimal...yet funky jewelry, and my beloved zebra-print Manolos. I also went for a softly rounded, dark purple, smokey eye. I discovered blending a light, iridescent lavendar color around the edges creates an interesting "glowy" effect (adding to the extra-terrestrial feel I was going for, haa). Hope you all are having wonderful starts to the work week! Tomorrow's already HUMP day! :)H&M silver dress as top. Urban Outfitters maroon dress as skirt. Manolo Blahnik shoes as hat (haaa...kidddingg...).

Inspiration: Extreme Couture

I'm not sure what the concept behind this shoot was (alien queen of the empty pool, perhaps?), but nevertheless I couldn't help but post it. Note to self: bling out the cane I got from my college when I graduated and carry it while wearing a leather bodysuit, greased up skin, and intense accessories, haa.     Now I'm going to watch an episode of Project Runway Australia Season 2...not caught up on all of the episodes yet but I'm considerably more impressed by these designers than the ones in Project Runway USA Season 6 (my reality tv knowledge is getting ridiculously lame, haha).Vogue Italia Sept 09

Outfits: Hypnotize

September already?!? I can't say that I'm ready for Fall's imminent arrival given the incredibly weak Summer weather we had here in Boston. But I did purchase a coat yesterday while shopping and I am definitelllyyy excited to snuggle up in it with sky-scraping boots when the temperatures drop. I've also developed a Fall-inspired desire to perfect a softened, day-time, vampiresque look with my make-up utilizing deep burgundies and wine red eye shadows.     Anywayy, I wore the above outfit earlier today to go grocery shopping...and plan on wearing the below outfit later tonight for appetizers and drinks on the waterfront as a post-MCAT celebration for one of the girls I work with! Although knowing me, I'll pull a full 180 wardrobe change right before leaving and end up being an hour late...per usual. The sequined top is actually a crazy sequined tube dress that I've been trying to figure out how to wear without lookin' like a hottt mess (which admittedly isn't always a bad thing, ha). Hope you're all enjoying the THREE-day weekend!!! :DFirst: Nightcap Clothing cropped top. American Apparel jeans. H&M jacket. Jessica Simpson shoes.Second: H&M dress as top and skirt.
