exotic shine

when i spotted this asian-y kimono-inspired top on hautelook a few weeks ago i felt overwhelmingly compelled to hoard it in yellow as well. damn smart of me, it's such love. the sunny yellow version is begging me hard to top a creamy chiffon & lace skirt, which is going to give off an entirely different aura. i'll try and get that on tomorrow if L allows. right now i'm in a sleek and stunning (ha) black nursing tank & heather grey leggings that have been compromised by a bodily fluid i'll spare you from mentioning. blah. i've digressed horribly... the shorts, well they're short. and shimmery. encrusted in black sequins. shine is going nowhere, loveys. so shine! tip: if you want to wear something some might consider a little overt, offset said item with something quite the opposite. that's what i did here, short shorts offset by a beautiful, flowy blouse. oh & yeah, i'm fully favoring shorts right now. mid-october. what can i say? add tights. spike & rhinestone heels round out this eclectic look. happiest of fridays, talk to me, i'm lonely...

p.s. please check out my article on examiner.com, am trying to decide if i should continue to contribute as their local fashion trend writer, thoughts?

happy friday loveys. yay it's a wee bit chilly!
not feeling so sparkly since my return to FL. however, i'm forcing it.
feeling down? ramp up your state of being with sequins. crystals. rhinestones.

The Super Quick, Incredibly Edgy Throw Back to Punk DIY Necklace

Fall '09 is BIG on statement necklaces.

You, however have no cash, or perhaps, just want something fresh and different to wear tomorrow. On the fly. A killer reason to get up in the morning. Round up safety pins. you have them somewhere. oftentimes they're used to attach pretty tags to new clothes, or used to attach dry cleaning to hangers, FIND SOME. the more, the better.

then, rummage through your jewels. faux pearls and costume rhinestones work best. strive to use two (or more!) necklaces of the same length. lay necklaces out, unclasped and begin affixing necklaces together with safety pins. your done. mad easy, no? now get out there and wear your instant DIY creation with pride. YOU ROCK.

Love,
