My Latest Muse

The Gorgeous Raquel Reed.

she's an alternative model from New York, she's consider one of the Scene Queens. Along with Audrey Kitching, Hanna Beth, Kiki Kannibal, etc. I really love her style, it's glam-rock-disco-scene-feminine-mod. she's amazing. So today i decided to create a wardrobe inspired by her. Some stuff from my closet, some stuff from my moms. It wasn't too much of a challenge. I didn't post every single picture i was inspired by. so if something looks out of place, that's why.

my turn.

alright, a lot of these clothes are either old (theres a possibility its not being sold anymore, or thrifted). about 70% of it is my moms.

How'd i do? I still tried to keep my style while incorperating hers. Sorryfor typos. I've been working on this since 4am.

Is This A Step In The Right Direction?

Clever Composition and The Honesty, Honesty.


Black Mamba, The Academy Is...




Okay since I'm extremely new to this fashion blogging world, i still don't know how most of it works. i've done some researching. from reading blogs to articles about blogs.

There are some great blogs out there, but somethings missing...


After about a week of looking at new blogs everyday, i have not seen one related to, okay i don't want to get stereotypical about this, related to the emo music scene.

what i mean by "emo music scene", i mean the kids who go to shows, wear band tshirts, talk about bands like people talk about The Hills, and treat CD release days like holidays.


This current fashion scene, is missing what the emo scene has.

and the emo scene, is missing what the fashion scene has.

i'm not saying that fashion has nothing to do with music, oh god that'd be horrendously stupid.


i guess what i'm trying to say is that the emo scene is missing an interest in fashion. I haven't met one emo kid, or even Scene kid for that matter, who reads Nylon.


Personally i left my love of Fashion...for Music....and now i'm returning with a great love for both.


Which should make for one hell of a ride.



That's why i decided to use my high fashion vision instead of being afraid of it, like i have been for 2 years. But i always keep the thought in my head, to never forget who i am. to not get wrapped up how everyone else is dressing. because out of 40 blogs....not one had a Forever The Sickest Kids shirt.



haha.



break out your band t-shirts.



come on fashionistas, i want to see some Mayday Parade, Every Avenue, The Academy Is..., Cute Is What We Aim For, The Cab, The Hush Sound, Fall Out Boy even....

WANT. NEED

yellow nail polish
ballerina dress from AA
oversized white button up
metallic silver leggings
patterned tights


that's all i've got....




for now of course.

New, News and Novelties

i finally got to visit my more home than town of San Francisco. even though it's just a drive across the bridge, it's still so far.

We took a drive down to Pier 39 and walked around til about 12am. One thing that always draws me into a store is the small tables lined with assorted sunglasses that are a little too inspired by other brands designs. but that's usually where i find the best glasses that can be broken and thrown around and won't have to worry about the amount of money i paid. I haven't touched the Dior sunglasses i got in 7th grade since. I got 3 pairs. one was free.

the 1st pair (top left): are knock-offs of sunglasses i bought at UO a year ago, but these ones fit better. and i broke my UO ones, i was really upset.

the 2nd pair (top right:are HUGE and i love it. after breaking my absolute favorite pair of plain black sunglasses, and then losing the ones i replaced them with, these are a pretty good substitute..

the 3rd pair (bottom): the cashier said "buy 2 get one free" so i took the chance and picked these slightly over-sized aviators. they're kind of big on me, and make me look a little too much like Victoria Beckham. but they were free, and i'm sure i'll use them at some point.

and then, probably the most dreaded thing i did last night....i bought a fake purse. it felt so wrong, but the purse was adorable. i feel like im confessing a secret, but i bought a Miu Miu knock-off. oh god i really bought it. But the thing my mom always explains to me is that when you always have real designer bags and/or clothes, when you wear something fake no one will question you. And Miu Miu isn't really the most copy label at the street stores.

so the Pros and Cons of the bag....

Pros:

+It's gorgeous.
+Even if the MiuMiu decal comes off, it won't look like over used fake Chanel bag missing a C.
+Love, love, love the sea foam green
+Fits a lot of items

Cons:

-It's fake
-I saw the same exact bag, in the same store, but with a Versace logo....
-If you poke and examine it too much, it's completely obvious the material sucks.

even the though the guilt of buying a fake purse is a burden, i love the bag.

My mother walked in with her real Gucci bag and bought a fake Prada one. Yes, Prada, the mother of Miu Miu. pretty cute, no?

AND! i have recently found out about the arrival of TopShop.com USA.

amazing. i've been drooling over the topshop skirts on Polyvore, and now I can own them.

They even have a petite section (including pants) for us girls under 5"4 and/or really skinny.

This Took Me a Total of 5 Hours...

must blogger be so frustrating....

Spent a Little Time With My Friend Poly(vore)

bored.bored.bored.




i think i have undiagnosed insomia. it's 5:15am. and i'm still up.

Bought a Few Items Today..

so today revived a bit of my old side. the side that put thought into shopping.

even though i was at target, but like my mothers says "a true lover of fashion doesn't discriminate."

they did have some awfully cute stuff for being a chain store.

so i got,

Purple Acid Wash Skinny Jeans (oh yes, i went there)

(ooh, a shot of my floordrobe.)

Peep-toe Patent Black Booties ($30...for target?)

Full Patterned Skirt

Off The Shoulder Gray Sweater

they look way better then how i can describe them.

the skirt is fuller than it is in the picture. the sweater has somewhat of a waistband (which i looove) so it brings it down a bit.

i had to use my mannequin as a stand in, since my tripod broke. it sucks.

my cat knocked over an entire wall of my moms shoe collection. yes a wall of shoes. everything from Nine West to Manolo Blahnik. she's crazy about shoes.
