Outfit du Jour: Grey Lady
Worn: July 20, 2011 Dress: Anne Klein | Heels: Qupid via Need Supply | Shades: Anthropologie | Bracelet: nOir | Rings: Etsy (gift) & Made Her Think I’m going to be candid with y’all: I am extremely self-conscious of my arms. While I am proud of my Greek/Italian heritage, I’ve been plagued with the typical washerwoman arms. Combining that with my own personal history with...

Walk In The Enchanted Forest...Literally
So, which one of you has an extra $1,399 laying around? Alexander McQueen puts a spring in your step with iris flowers. For that mere sum, you can wander around town as if you’re some laden fairy queen character, a la Tatiana in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I picture gauzy, over layered Grecian style dresses, loose waves, petal power, and lots of glitter. Talk about being in charge....

Beauty Palette: Gold & Shimmer
I’ve been inspired by Tineey’s recent chronicles in makeup and skin care, I decided to post my daily look. It’s summer, so I want to go for a slightly sun kissed look but not fake n’ bake. Overall, the list of makeup looks lengthy but all of the sheer shades really blend in smoothly without looking overly made up.

Glitter & Jazz: Bob Mackie Art
Like many little girls, I was Barbie obsessed. Most notably, my curiosity for fashion started with my own Barbie dolls. I begged my mom to buy me Barbie magazine and then I discovered Bob Mackie. Bright, bold colored dresses, feathers, and sequins, oh my. I was smitten. I was seven years old. Fast forward that to growing up with a mom that loved Cher and my childhood interest in all sorts of...

Wishlist Wednesday: Spikes & Studs Part II
Just like you can never have too much glitter, there isn’t anything wrong with having a little hardware in your life. Last week, I found some studded goodies, but I still can’t stop myself. Here are even more pointy and hard edged bad gal items to lust over. I may not be bad in real life, but dressing the part is half the fun.

Lower East Side Art Crawl
On June 16th, I went on a fab art crawl via Thrillist and Art Log. What fun times were had with my friend Allison. Here’s a lovely image dump of inspiration for you. All of the art was at some neat-o LES galleries and the New Museum. I want that giant red skull. Stat.

The more I use makeup and skincare while researching what goes into beauty products, the more I fall on the side with organic and natural ingredients. Besides being healthy, organic beauty products let you protect your skin while looking radiant. Not to mention, products that are environmentally safe, free of toxins, and cruelty free is paramount for me. Get this deal while it’s good: $60...

Lost in the Black Lodge: What Laura Palmer Wore
Twin Peaks has been a long standing favorite television show of mine and when I first saw it in college, it gave way to a new fashion obsession. Like with anything else I adore, taking influences from art is something I turn to unwittingly. It’s no surprise that the enigmatic and ghostly character of Laura Palmer would pepper my wardrobe. Sometimes it’s not about really copying a look...

Dreams
All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, For they dream their dreams with open eyes, And make them come true. - D.H. Lawrence

Wishlist Wednesday: Summer Getaway
In a little over ten days, I’m going to travel to Costa Rica to visit my best friend and soak up some sun. While I adore exploring new places and jetting around, I abhor packing. If anything, I like to pack as light as possible with luggage as small as possible (carry-ons anyone?). Here are some light and breezy pieces perfect for a tropical atmosphere.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Fall 2011 Couture
With every passing season, there’s a hell of a lot of praise and a hell of a lot of snark. Couture is dreamy and fantasy inducing and yet has twinges of reality set it. And by reality, I mean those what-if-I-get-invited-to-a-black-tie-gala-or-performance-art-piece? Yeah, I know…my dance card is always filled up, too, kids. So revel in the artistry or boo at the creator, here’s...

Wishlist Wednesday: Spikes & Studs
I wouldn’t be doing this blog justice, if I didn’t address some of my all time favorites: spikes and studs. They’re perfect for my wardrobe as versatile, spicy pieces that add that little element of zing. Oh yeah, and I still can’t get enough of my Clash, Siouxsie Sioux, and Black Flag albums. (P.S. I’m totally drooling over those studded ballet slippers. They need...

Hello, Boys: Spring 2012 Men's Fashion Round-Up
(L-R: Maison Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Paul Smith) It is not often that I write about men’s fashion, in fact, quite infrequently. For any human with an interest in clothes, tailoring, structure, and style go a long way in a wardrobe. However, when it comes to men’s fashion, a crisp structure is something that always catches my eye. Are you listening boys? Now, here are some...

And yes, darlings, I totally went out in...
