Styled: Tom Boy meets Prom Queen

I love to incorporate really dressed down pieces into glam looks.

To me, it creates the perfect balance. 

It took me a while to get into fussy fits.

If it wasn't in any way 'laxed, I didn't mess with it. ..Unless I had to. {i.e. for graduations, interviews, etc}..but for the most part I'd always find a way to transform pieces that were meant to be dressed up ..into something stylish and comfortable.

This look is an example of everything I think an outfit should be. {with scrunched up sleeves}

It's fun, effortlessly sexy, and easy.

This is what the end of my week looked like..

I went to Chelsea on Thursday and layed in the sun. 

..Discovered Cider Beer. <3 <3 can't believe no one told me about this.

& Friday, spent some time, checking out Keith Haring @ the Brooklyn Museum.

Styled: Boyfriend's Jean. Girlfriend's Blouse.

Was thinking "Big Moves" when I made this. 

The outfit isn't necessarily meant to compliment the thought but, ..here it is. 

I fell in love with the crossover denim and didn't want to do without the poppy colored top so ...why not wear them both!?

Due to its size, the waist of the jean drops a bit. ...giving it a baggy crotch. 

The top's over-sized. Silk. & falls to perfection. ..But we're gonna tuck in the front just a little bit - to add volume. 

Everything else's a piece of pie! 

Slip on your Kirkwood's, play with the pant leg a little bit, keep the effortless scrunch. 

& you're off. 

Ready for day-time play.

The animation represents an optional accessory. 

I kind of like the idea of a silk, black, headband being tied around the head in a turban like way.

Starting high on the forehead. 

It's up to you.

Styled: Fringe With Benefits

I had a cool pair of wedges by Corso Como that resemble the Giuseppe's you see above {just a little bit}.
Pure-Fabulous-ness!
Couldn't wear them without feeling like I'd lose a toe so they had to go.
Took them to Beacon's. Made some girl's day. I'm sure. ...They were soo cute.

Styled: Denim Chic

So I have this thing that I do, when I'm putting a look together.

I close my eyes and imagine it on a live model, as I'm styling it. If I know the fabric of the pieces I'm using I can accurately picture how it'll fall on the body. ..or how it'd look paired with other textures. 

I never consciously think of a location, however, the guy/girl that I imagine is always somewhere different. 

As I assembled this look I imagined her being on a platform. 

..similar to Amtrak's.

Her hair's pulled back in a low messy bun or out with loose curls. 

The idea was for her to give you low-key FEVER with no fuss. 

Hence the denim on denim + baseball cap.

Accomplished?

Styled: Geometric Prints

**Thought I should get back to doing one of the things that I truly enjoy. {creating looks}

For the longest I thought Styling was my dream job. ..Because I am a stylish girl and assembling pieces to create walking art is my idea of fun. ...But truth be told, I'm really not even that passionate about it. It's something I like to do on my own time. Which is why it works for my blog. 

I enjoy dressing myself. && inspiring looks for others.

I think it ends there.
