a pop of colour

always just a smidge
at least a bit peeking through
you have to let the light shine
the spectrum of colour
needs release
the colour evoke emotion and intention
let your prism escape
give them a punch of pazazz
a pop of colour

dreamscape

the light dances on your face
a twinkle of sunshine on your cheek
as you half-smile
the way you do
at the joke in your head
the curtain bellows in the window
periodically letting in too many rays
right into my eye
everything around us is a fuzzy haze
the burnt parts of my retina
repairing this dream come to life





....dream a little dream of me......

silly bandz

since i was a little girl
headbands have been a staple
maybe it was an 80s thing
my mother made matching ones for all of my neon looks hehe
or perhaps little girls with bangs just look more adorable in them
so mothers go crazy
but its left a last impression on me
there were a good handful of years that i swore them off
but off course like everything in fashion
they made their return
i always have at least a simple black one around since
here i've collected some unique
fun
and
creative ones to love
now. (or to inspiration creations of your own)

sequin appliques and tulle

turban-like with rivets (can anyone say bedazzler?)

rope, cording for that nautical/grecian feel

jeweled, perhaps using thrift store brooches

notions mmmmmm

strategically placed fabric, truly stunning and so classy

silkscreened on cotton, you know you have old tshirts for this one??!?

happy headbanding!

warrior queen

i've been on a roll with the headpieces
i could eat them for dinner
delicious
i also have more to show
but here is a different take



powerful editorial masterpieces
empower
powerful
queen like regalia
bold brash beauty
whether you look like a Roman crusader
a military bird of prey
or a seductive courtesan
there is gorgeousness in showcase
ones face
ones eyes
ones head
ones hair (or lack there of)
charge ahead young warriors
and carry on.

center of attention

with lady gaga and the like big in pop music right now
dressing over the top is cool again
i think this is amazing
i think its beautiful to stand out
i think its spectacular to go to extremes
these are some photos from letourdeforce.com 's collections
STELLAR TO THE MAX
don't you love the shoes? headpieces? details on the clothing?
its always about the details.
whimsical additions. something out of dreams. sci-fi movies.
i have always had that buying disease that promotes buying special things.
items that stand out. stand on their own. are one of a kind.
no one else will be wearing them, especially not the way you are.
don't be afraid to stand out.
to be the center of attention.
for all eye's to be on you.
in whatever way it is that you are unique.
whether its with your style or fashionable state of dress.
or not.
be proud.
MAKE THEM STARE.
MAKE IT WORTH THEIR WHILE.
