Photo Diary // PROJECT, Part 1

Attending the PROJECT trade show is such a treat. I’m head over heels into menswear, so it’s always cool to scope out new duds for dudes. Continually, it’s an artfully curated space and show. And not for nothing, I always enjoy myself by meeting interesting new people and discovering hidden gems.

1. 2. 3. Vlado Footwear. You probably wouldn’t know it by looking at me (read: typical heels and red lipstick gal) but I love sneakers. I have a few pairs in my closet that don’t get enough love but that will change soon enough. These kicks are too cool for me to not want. The sneakers in #2 light up, which reminds me of being a kid with my own jazzy light up sneakers. Bonus point: they’re rechargeable via usb. #3 showcases Vlado’s gear for the ladies.

4. 5. 6.  I don’t know if I’m cool enough to wear Civil Clothing, but gosh, I hope so. Those beanies with metal plates! Studded baseball caps! It’s like the creative director, Omar, read my little punky mind (and soul). Can I pretend to be a bad ass girl in that jaguar jacket? You know, for that ruffian literary gang I’m in…

The Vans x Hello Kitty collaboration is all sorts of spunky and makes me think it’s something my students would totally dig. (Am I right, ladies?) Not to mention, the skater high-tops with the red Hello Kitty hair bow are too cute.


All Tomorrow’s Parties

Ah, Memorial Day. Besides being a symbolic time for those who serve the military, it’s also the kick off for barbecues, outdoor parties, and warm weather revelry. Soak up the sun, pour a margarita or two - here’s some outfit inspiration for day and nighttime fun.

Mellow Yellow

  • Yellow as an accent piece? Who knew? Go for bright and bold.
  • NARS Orgasm blush is delightful and now with its creamy all-over counterpart, it’s a cheeky asset to illuminate your face. Without looking like you fell into a field of glitter.
  • Sandal wedges? Yes, please. They go with everything.
  • I think I would kill someone for that lace skirt. Just saying.

Garden Flower

  • Red, pink, and orange shoes? Want, want, want.
  • Chanel lipsticks are so creamy! My lips never dry out at all.
  • I have a bottle of tangerine nail polish I’m waiting to try. Perhaps with something flowery…
  • Printed dresses? A perfect summer and spring staple. As if I had to tell you.

Grecian Style

  • The maxi dress. I had my reservations but I might just be a convert.
  • Honestly though, an all white dress with a gold belt? Um, talk about hot. This is something I would wear day or night. And totally perfect for a Mediterranean vay-cay. 
  • Skulls and studs and crystals, oh my. Perfect, dainty, hard, abrasive; in short, I love them.
  • Hot pink lip laquer looks fab on bronzey skin.

Nighttime Bonfire

  • I never wear them enough, but I love a good pair of high-tops.
  • I own that Lancome purple eyeshadow palette and it’s amazing. You can go from subtle lilac to dark, royal purple. So far, it hasn’t creased on my lids either.
  • Worn in sweatshirt? Check. Gun motifs and spikes? Check. Looking smoking hot? Check, check.

There was a ton of buzz surrounding these gilded sneakers (think Greek god Hermes) from Jeremy Scott for Adidas. With wings on your feet, these metallic trainers will take you far. Availiable in silver.

Stay tuned for an October release, retailing at $180.
