hairy directions



my short cut is at an in-between length
i can go longer and shaggier
or shorter and sweet, a tight cut
but its cold outside
and my ears are freezing
decisions, decisions
cutting directions, or waiting patiently for hair to grow
then a new creation

some hair-therapy thanks to two stylish ladies
photographed by the sartorialist
he truly captures women who embody masculine elegance
infused into their feminine style
love.

inspiration


sometimes comes to us cuddled up into a little fashion comfort ball
or from the style that our friends see within us
and our fabulous wardrobes

love your shoes lis.

tights terrorist

repost from the sartorialist, from god knows when
first off the surroundings are stunning
she is in a surrealist painting!
[click on image, for a CLOSER LOOK at details]
the glasses (make me miss my vintage raybans *tear*) and the hat/headpiece cocked to one side
reminds me of myself so much
the blazer and clutch are classic, timeless, chic must-have addition accessories to any outfit
BUT
its THOSE TIGHTS that make the look
i can't tell you how many pairs of tights i ruin in one days wear (or one hours....)
i spend money on them and for all intensive purposes they are still functional with one run, so i save them
BUT
after several runs, the rubbish bin is calling..
BUT if you add some more strategically placed runs, they are fashion
they are Rodarte-Prada-Miu Miu-esque
AND this I love...
SO before you toss out your next stocking buy (especially if they are Wolford and cost you an arm AND A LEG)
save then for some rock'n'roll contrast with your leather booties
or for some pretty contrast a la Courtney Love with some frilly dress
embrace your awkwardness and dishelved self
wear your runny tights with pride
and STYLE

metallic mayhem


like so many of my posts contain
i covet this dress
its on ideeli
for 1/3 of its suggested retail price
i love the ruffles around the neckline
that purple metallic color
the cut
that little triple fold along the hem, instead of a slit
the belt-rhinestone thing is not so hot
i could cut it off
do you think burlesque dancers can afford dresses from Teri John on whim of fashion fancy?
i am considering a career change.

hotel massacre


photo from the Claridge's hotel suite, with Kurt Geiger shoes tossed about
i love this image.
the unmade bed. the empty bottle of champagne. feet dangling over the edge of the 1000 count sheets.
the sexiness, the potential, the spontaneity of hotel rooms.
anything can happen in them
then that visual of beautiful, dress shoes taken off beside the bed
thrown about in passion
amazing.

[hopefully something i will be able to replicate in a few weeks time.]

more brilliance. oh the lusty indulgence that oozes from these visuals. room service of stunning footwear.
