A Whimsical Wardrobe

Whats your opinion?

2011-02-04T20:09:00.001-08:00

I am probably the worst blogger in the world.( I don't even think you can consider me a blogger) The last time I blogged was November. Many things have happened to me since then, I got my drivers license ( however not much driving has been going on with me due to this wonderful snow). I got accepted to LIM college which I was very excited about ( at least now I know I'm going to college). Okay so I might have been a little mendacious, maybe not many things have happened to me ( but I consider those pretty big things, agreed? )

Before I put you to sleep I want to show you an interesting skirt I found online, that I oddly like. Feel free to share your thoughts :)

So, what did this gal do today?
Besides play with her make up and bother her dog... not to much.
Today was just one of those days like most days of the year that start and end with no real significance.
I tried taking a picture of him but he can never stay still.

A Tea Party Dilemma

2010-11-07T09:04:00.000-08:00

Soo I saw the most beautiful vintage dress on etsy. The model looked like a true ballerina in it. I loved it, so I bought it. I noticed that the measurements said it was a 24' waist. Sadly I am not a 24 waist lol, but I just figured its a dress, there can always be something done to the dress to make it fit you... right? But oh boy was I wrong. I took it to 2 different tailors and they both told me the same thing. They said I couldn't make it bigger because there in no extra fabric.
Look for yourself at how pretty this dress is, wouldn't you be upset too ?
I really didn't have any particular event to wear it to. But I can sometimes be a nut and ill wear it to a casual event and look completely odd. I don't mind.

Funny Face

Don't you just love her?
She is a classic fashion icon.
She gave the little black dress life.
Sometimes I wish I could wear puffy dresses everyday like they used to in the good old days without people starring at me like I am a complete nutcase.
And those hats, I absolutely love them. My friend thinks they look like grandma hats but I find them so elegant. Its such a shame I could never wear them. I would probably look like a complete idiot to most people if I would wear a hat like that.

On A Rainy Day

2010-09-28T12:13:00.000-07:00

Today was a really gloomy rainy day, but I must admit that didn't bother me at all. Surprisingly I wanted it to rain, I thought it would be a perfect day to wear my new rain-boots ( well they are not really new, I bought them over the summer but never got a chance to wear them.)

....This is what I wore today

Walking In The Shoes Of A Man: Part II

2010-09-14T15:25:00.001-07:00

Getting out of school early is great, now I have more time to put towards my blog . I am very excited!!!
As you can see from my last post I am beginning to like menswear A LOT. Therefore I bought myself a really nice pair of pleated boy trousers from zara. ( This might not sound like a big deal, but I literally think the last time I bought a pair of pants was two years ago lol o_O)
Anyways I have come across these items that I think are pretty nice, and I thought I would share them with you :D

Walking In The Shoes Of A Man

2010-09-02T13:50:00.002-07:00

Black Leather Shorts

2010-08-06T16:49:00.001-07:00

There are so many things that I want lately, and I cant find any of them for a reasonable price.

I have been on the hunt for a pair of leather black high waisted shorts like these ^ but these cost $320.25 . They are nice but I'm not willing to spend that much on shorts. I've been looking everywhere for them but I just cant find a pair for a reasonable price.
If anybody knows of a place where I can find a nice pair please please please tell me :)

Things I Found In The Streets Of New York

2010-07-16T15:56:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been pretty busy lately, but I thought this would be a great post.
I've been taking some classes, and I had to do a project on fashion you can find in the streets of New York. We had to pick a trend, and I picked ballerina inspired fashion. These are some of the things that I found. ( Surprisingly, most people didn't have a problem with me taking pictures of them lol)

4th of July!

2010-07-04T18:13:00.000-07:00

To be quite frank I had a horrible 4th of July. I tried to make the best out of it, but it was a challenge. But like they say " Make the best out of a bad situation"
On a different note, this is what I wore today. I really liked the dress. I got it in Urban Outfitters and it was a great price too, originally $78 but it was on sale for $29 :)

A Mess

2010-06-13T15:04:00.000-07:00

What do I do when I have too much time on my hands? ...............

I was inspired by 90's grunge. I started playing around with my hair, makeup, and clothes.
... I must say ripping the tights was quite enjoyable.

The weather lately has been very unpredictable. One day its extremely hot, the next day its cold,and the next day its rainy and humid, whats next hail ( hopefully not). Hard to believe that summer is right around the corner. This year I wanted to do some bathing suit shopping early, every year I wait until July and when I go shopping they only have the ugliest bathing suits left and I end up putting something over it, because its so ugly (hehe)

I saw these bathing suits and I thought they were pretty cute. However it sucks that some of these bathing suits are pretty expensive ( well for me anyways). But I thought I would post them up anyways.

Procrastinate Till No End !

2010-05-15T13:34:00.001-07:00

Today I was supposed to dedicate my day to studying. I have mountains of work I am "suppose" to do, but of course I end up doing something else. Right before I was about to open my book, I decided to go on partycity.com and look at Halloween costumes( I know what your thinking, its May and your looking at Halloween costumes?......But what can I say, I'm a strange gal. )
Looking at all the costumes made me want to play around a little , I began to tease my hair and make it very messy, and I made my makeup look as if I were extremely tired...... Before you look at the pictures let me just say, I got too paranoid that if I left my makeup and hair the way it was it would look extremely ugly, so I tamed it a little. I know safe is boring, but ehh....

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)

2010-05-10T10:44:00.000-07:00

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg was a musical from 1964. Its about a 2o year old auto mechanic, Guy, and a 17 year old Geneviève Emery, who fall in love but are faced with many obstacles. On the night before Guy has to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Geneviève make love. She turns out to be pregnant and has to make a difficult decision, wait for Guys return, or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.

Even though this is a good story, my favorite part is the style of dressing. I love the girly dresses, the bold colors, and the hair filled with volume.

Makeup .......

2010-04-20T17:05:00.000-07:00

I am the type of person that gets tired of the same thing everyday... which means I get really bored with doing my eye makeup the same everyday. I like to change things up a bit.
When I have the time, I like to play around with my makeup and see what results I get.

These were the results I got today...

Its not very different to how I normally do my makeup, but I like it :)
What I used was....
-black eyeliner ( liquid and pencil)
-white eyeliner (pencil)
-white eyeshadow
-black eyeshadow
-blue eyeshadow
-purple/pinkish eyeshadow
-mascara
-pale pink lipstick

In A Funk

2010-04-18T19:31:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. I've been in a funk, where I don't really want to do much of anything. However I promise (pinky promise) that by the end of this week I'll start blogging again. :D

A Strange Painting

2010-03-23T17:39:00.001-07:00

I bought this dress about a year ago. I was a little skeptical about the dress at first, I thought it was too bold and I wouldn't be able to pull it off. However it is now one of my favorite dresses.

Academy Awards 2010

2010-03-08T10:58:00.000-08:00

I always watch the Academy Awards mainly to see what actresses wear to this event. It is a night they get to wear their glamorous gowns on the red carpet. These were my favorite dresses of the night.

I thought Demi Moore looked absolutely stunning with this dress. I loved the way it was nicely structured on the top and how it softly falls in beautiful ruffles below the waist.

I thought Anna Kendrick looked very whimsical. Some people were commenting about the color or her dress not suiting her because it was very similar to her skin tone but I thought it was very pretty. I loved the way the dress fell with a lot of movement. Personally I thought she looked gorgeous from her hair all the way down to her shoes.

The red wine color dress by Donna Karen made the stunning actress Penelope Cruz stand out. There is something about that color that just intrigues me. She looked very elegant.

The Notebook - Rachel McAdams

2010-03-04T10:45:00.000-08:00

I love vintage inspired dresses. One of my favorite decades is the 1940s. When I saw The Notebook, I fell in love with the way Rachel McAdams dressed. I especially loved the way she dressed in the beginning of the movie. I thought it was very cute, playful, simple, and feminine. That is one of my favorite types of styles, when something can look very feminine, but also be able to look playful, simple and fun. That is probably one of the reason why I love vintage inspired clothing, it reminds me of old, playful, simple times :)

BOWS! BOWS! and MORE BOWS!

2010-03-03T19:38:00.000-08:00

How can I start this of without sounding completely crazy, well I'm not sure I can.

I am obsessed with bows. I love bow headbands, bow clips,hats with bows, bow necklaces, shirts with bows, etc. Basically if it has some type of bow on it, I will most likely find it adorable.

Since I find bows really cute, I occasionally make bows here and there. This was probably one of the first bow accesories I made.

I love this bow necklace. I bought it in Hot Topic

...And this was one of the first bow necklace's I made.

1940's Fashion

2010-03-01T10:56:00.000-08:00

I admire fashion from the 1940's for its feminine dresses and pinned up hair. Here are a couple of patterns, pictures, and 40's inspired dresses I found.

500 Days of Summer- Zooey Deschanel

2010-02-25T17:18:00.000-08:00

There is no doubt Zooey Deschanel has great style. However I think the way she dressed in 500 Days of Summer is exceptionally adorable. I'm sure just like me, many people have been wanting to find these vintage inspired dresses like the ones Zooey Deschanel wore in 500 Days of Summer. I came up with some websites where you can find these plain adorable dresses. I hope you like it :)

What I love the most about mod fashion from the 1960's,is that its fun, playful, and girly. I don't know if you could tell by the pictures, but I am obsessed with big collars. I one time bought the same shirt in three different colors just because it had a big color. I guess its a little ridiculous but I just find them so adorable.
