How To Wear: "Chloe" Slip

This was taken in the morning right before I was heading to school so it was really chilly so I needed to layer a bit. I knew once the afternoon would roll around I would take off the blazer and l/s T.
Jacket: Vintage Gant Navy Schoolboy blazer (from late summer/early fall)
Dress: White "Chloe" Slip Dress(forever21)
T-shirt: White L/S T
Tights: Black Cable knit(Target)
Shoes: Ankle Minnetonka booties
Bag: Black Fringe (H&M)
Sunglasses: Ray Ban Classic Aviator (from my b/f)
p.s. excuse the really stern facial expression, I'm not a great morning person.

Summer Festivals

As some of you may know, that this weekend is COACHELLA. It is the season opener for all the rest of the festivals that go on after it. Although I would love to get me a little trailer and camp out 'Springs(Palm, that is) style, I could not and would not afford this hullabaloo of an event. But it got me thinking of the kind of attire I could wear if only I was to attend such an event.

AAAAH!!!Nothing like a sunny afternoon, watching your favorite band perform, drinking a cool one.

Happy Spring

I'm out enjoying the gorgeous weather, that is why I have been a bit negligent. I apologize but updates will be coming shortly.
In the mean time relish on these babes, who embody the season....



On a side note: Doesnt the lead singer look a little eerily like Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother. Its not neccessarily a good or bad thing just an observation.

Un"like"ly Heroes

Meet Charlotte, Tennesee and Z(Berg). 3 parts of the band The Like.They are merely in their early 20's and already have the savvy and wisdom well beyond their years. They are the understated cool girls. And their style is to die for. Charlotte the Brunette with a pension for really short shorts, most likely, single handedly brought the high waist shorts back. From her ice cold stare to her puffy cheeks she is the girl that didn't let you play with her dolls.
Tennessee is a girl with a love for doll's dresses. If she was able to enlarge her doll's dresses that is what it would look like. They are vintage short and snug on top. From her blunt cut bangs to her girl-ish charm she is "Alice in Wonderland". Which brings us to Z . A true cali girl with blonde locks, but those piercing eyes make her anything but. A femme fatale quality to her style and look, which consists of a mix between girly and grungy. She could be wearing a long t-shirt leopard tights and lace -up ankle boots and still look chicer than an Olsen.
These girls have a uniqueness all their own and they are most times overlooked and it seems that they might even like it that way. With a sixties vibe all around and the innocence that they portray its hard to not love them.

Confessions about a Fast Fashion Chain

I recently made an order from none other than the Fast Fashion Mecca itself Forever21.
I normally wouldn't result to waisting money on shipping(which could easily get me an accessory or 2 pairs of underwear at the aforementioned venue)however I couldn't resist passing on a qaint, dainty, little number such as this.Which is so aptly named as "Chloe".They had just brought these into the store but I was not fast enough as they didn't have the size I needed (a small).

I was forced to go the internet route to make this little purchase, but all was not lost because even though this is a bit late for this purchase, I've been eying this fedora for quite some time.

They weren't carrying this in the store anymore because of it's intended season, and they were most likely sold out too. So I made the order; shipping charges and all. I was soo excited for my new items. Although the nightie is made for bed I will treat it as it rightfully should be treated, a dress. It's so lovely for a spring/ summer day outing.
I couldn't wait to get my package so I could wear it. Finally about a week later and alot of anticipation I received the package.It was a plastic envelope with bubbling on the inside. I looked at this and all kinds of thoughts ran through my mind. "Where's the hat?" How can they send just the nightie?" "I know I ordered the hat!" "If the hat is in there, where the hell would it fit?" So I finally opened it, and to my sock and horror, the hat was in there alright, folded, twisted and entwined with the nightie.The nightie while wrapped with the hat had received lint from the hat.So now I have black lint on my white dress.Not only that but my hat now has indentations in improper places. I was so annoyed.I figured I'm paying for these items I would assume I would get proper packaging.I mean is it so hard to put it in a box? It was no different if I would have gone to the store.I've gotten better packaging through Ebay vendors than what I received from Forever.
I am not one to rant on and on but my unpleasant experience has annoyed me to no end and I guess I just needed an outlet.
I hope your internet shopping experiences are better than mine.

How To Wear: Black Tuxedo Jacket(Part 2), Vintage Autumn Floral Dress

In this round of "How To Wear" I paired the Tuxedo Blazer with my Velvet Autumn Floral Dress, Black opaques and Vintage black platform oxfords.
The two together remind me of something straight out of 90210.Something that Valerie or Kelly would have worn, perhaps?
Anyways... I ended up fitting the sleeves and sideseam for a far better fit than how it originally came.It instantly made it ten times better!!!

How To Wear: Black Tuxedo Blazer(Part 1)

For a monochromatic look with a bit of pop I paired this Black Tuxedo Blazer with a loose lived-in T, Patent Black Corset Belt,Black Bondage Skirt, Black opaques, Vintage Black Platform Oxfords and a red chain link bag
When I first saw this Blazer I kept passing it by. I Didn't give it much of a chance. Then one day I succumbed to it's incessant calling and tried it on. From the Satin details on the lapel and pockets to the double breasted buttons to the slim fit sleeves I was sucked in.Once closed fully, the slim fit all around was the deal breaker. There was no looking back after that. However I might possibly be considering giving this baby a hem chop. What do you think? Should I stay with the elongated almost "Dress" Like length or shorten it about 2"?

Blazer: Black Tuxedo Blazer(F21)

P.S. I tried getting a better close up of the jacket and lapel but I don't think it did the jacket any justice. Hopefully in Version 2 there will be a better contrast to see the jacket.
