Ready to get down to business? Here is yet another look I wore to work and also using blue. The blue striped shirt is from Marshall's, the white fancy pants are Lafayette 148 (another acquisition from my grandmother's), and the shoes are new from Shoedazzle. Hopefully, you'll see the shoes completely in another look, they are amazing! For now, enjoy this look and please check out the other post of the day about a very fashionable event here.

I wore this last week and it felt so proper with the shirt style, the stockings, and the pumps that I needed to add something to complement the dark colors and make it a little edgier so I had to use my plum colored lipstick from Urban Decay (again!). Also, to show off the collar I wore my hair up in a pony/fish tail (unfortunately not that noticeable in the pictures). This blue dress is from Forever 21 and the shoes are from Charlotte Russe. Blue seems to be very "in" lately according to what was seen at the Emmy's, but obviously I did not wear this because of that, especially since that event happened on Sunday. Still, blue has always been the color for business so expect more work looks with this color. Hope this helps all of you with strict dress codes at work who still wish to look fashionable. Hello again fellow readers! Here's another quick look from last weekend. I wore this to see Riddick with Texi on Sunday. The biker jacket, which I was so desperate to wear, is new from Marshall's, the dress is another thrift item from my grandmother's, and the studded ankle boots are from Zara. I was also wearing my Shame by Urban Decay lipstick, which I am so obsessed with. Ever since I got this jacket I knew I wanted to pair it with a girly dress, so the pink paisley print and the ruffles made this one a perfect choice. There are so many more ways to wear this jacket, I just wish the weather wasn't so hot so I could wear it more often. I'll show you another look with it soon, in the mean time enjoy this one! Well, hello! Miss me? I know I miss posting, but no worries here is a post that I think you're going to like. I'm wearing a dress a thrifted recently from my grandmother's closet, along with a few other things that have been perfect work. Speaking of work, I can't wait to show you a few of my looks I wore there. They are completely different from what I have been recently showing, but still very chic and great to get some inspiration. In addition to the dress I wore my Isabel Marant inspired sandals and my boyfriend's fedora. A very simple, yet edgy, yet comfy look to hang out at a friend's house last Saturday. Well that's it for now, enjoy! This is a look I would have loved to wear to New York Fashion Week, but instead I wore it to a friend's house for a surprise party. The Joy Division T-shirt, which is one of my favorites (I've worn it over 20 times I think), is from Hot Topic, the black skirt with the pleather ruffle is from Forever 21 and I got it for a steal, the studded ankle boots are from Zara, and the Miyata purse is from Aldo. I think this would have been a perfect look for NYFW because of the classic all black, even though in the last years bloggers were going in much more outstanding outfits, seems like this year the black and white trend brought them back to the traditional way of dressing for fashion shows. With all the Fashion Week happenings, and it being September and all I had to use as a prop or better yet, as an accessory the most important issue of the most important magazine in my life: Vogue's September Issue. Here's a guide to silly and weird posing... nah that's not it, although this post could be useful for some inspiration to do that I guess, but I'd rather you get some inspiration to go on a 90's trend rampage like I have been doing (you might think I'm trying to be Miley Cyrus but trust me I'm not). Still, if you haven't noticed my recent looks have all had a little (or a lot) of grunge with the plaid, the converse, the overalls, the crop tops and now even a black beanie. For this look I wore the denim overalls from Nasty Gal you saw on my look "Overall, I love you", a vintage polka dot crop top I got the other day shopping in my grandmother's closet, Converse sneakers (again!), and the beanie which is from Forever 21. I wore this last Saturday for my sewing class at Ropajes and later I changed into a second look that you will see in my next post. Enjoy this for now ;) By the way, that cutie who wanted to photo bomb me is Cinnamon, good thing we were so matchy matchy with our spots. Ready for a really vintage look? Here it is: A floral baby doll dress from Ouna's Closet (which I got for an amazing sale they were having), Converse sneakers, round sunglasses, an awesome necklace with a tiny jar filled with tiny pearls from Forever 21, and my most recent purchase from Sephora: Shame lipstick by Urban Decay, hence the name for this post. I wore this to a Rock Band party with Texi and the rest of the gang. It was a lot of fun, it had been a while since I played Rock Band, but it had also been a while since I had a full night's sleep so I went to bed earlier than everyone else (it was 2:00 a.m. though) Anyway I think the dilapidated background I used for this look was perfect for a vintage look, so I hope you like it. I also want to know what you think of the lipstick, because you will probably see it in more looks to come! |
