Hello, I know I haven't blogged in awhile. I was <i>exhausted </i>this semester but it's all finally over!! *firework noises* Even though I was absent from this blog I wasn't just absent from doing things which is why you should follow my <a href="http://instagram.com/christiananhalt" target="_blank">instagram</a> if you care what I'm doing. I wanted to upload this outfit as an update to what's going to happen. I'm going to get back to blogging now that I have the time and I have a lot of things in the works. I'm not comfortable sharing them yet but just know THINGS ARE COMING AND THOSE THINGS ARE EXCITING YA DIG?</div>

I noticed after I did my hair in these braids I was unconsciously referencing the hair at Alexander McQueen's last show, Plato's Atlantis SS2010. He's one of the most influential people to me and I didn't intend to copy the hair, it just naturally happened. </div>

This coat is so warm and I'm ready <strike>for winter</strike> to beat some ass. It's so tough! I look intimidating in this, isn't it FABULOUS? And I paired it with these Christian Dior sunglasses. This coat goes so well with everything and ugh it's my pride and joy at the moment. I also posted a photo to my instagram in this coat but with different Dior sunglasses that still paired PERFECTLY because obviously this coat is PERFECT.</div>

Hey guys, sometime last week I did Pat McGrath's look for the Dior SS 2013 runway show. Her colors were a lot more vibrant but I wanted to make it edgy so I used a black eye pencil under a black shadow and just some holographic blue/orange/green/ crystals. I just thought it would be fun to upload.</div>

Hello! I've been wanting a skirt like this for a couple months now but I've always held off on buying it (I don't know why). And I finally bought it! It's actually an inside-out petticoat but I preferred the texture of the inside to the satin cloth of the outside. It's no mystery that I'm into Asian fashion and one of my favorite subcultures is Harajuku, but most importantly and more specifically the kawaii aspect of it all. My entire outfit probably cost me like $20 (?) at most except for the boots; it's all thrifted and the skirt is from eBay.</div>

This is just a quick blog post showing a recent find of mine! I went to Nordstrom Rack for the first time with my friend and I'm kind of getting more and more into sunglasses and how they can be used as a vehicle to block people out or push them away and I found these! I got them 50% off which was amazing and I debated getting them because they're very yellow and I was worried I wouldn't be able to wear them as often as I would like for how expensive they were. Ultimately I thought to myself "would Zenon wear these?" and the answer was yes so my debate ended there.</div>

So if you haven't been able to figure out I am in love with everything Nicola Formichetti does (hence the blog title <i>Nicolakilledme</i>). His stint at Mugler was no different and I hadn't purchased any of the pieces from his previous collections at the house so with this last season I was determined to buy something substantial. I bought this cute ass sweater! I'm moving in a more futuristic direction with my style so I thought this sweater fit perfectly in that goal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm also incredibly influenced by 1990s/early 2000s movies and Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century is one of my main references for literally everything. This sweater reminded me of something she would wear so obvi I had to snatch it up.</div>

I watched a film called Sympathy for Lady Vengeance because Arabelle Sicardi (FashionPirate) always talks about it and references it. She's literally my absolute fav blogger so I had to see what it was all about and wow let me tell you. It made me want to go out and fight people, like this movie got my rail-thin self riled up. It's a must see but be warned there are gory parts near the end so don't say I didn't warn you.</div>

Hi hi hi! So I'm back! My Christmas was really nice and New Year's was very quiet for me (not that I minded). But for Christmas I got these glasses from <a href="http://h0les.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">H0les</a> that I had asked for! They're magical! I included my instagram video in this post to show their full glory, photos really don't do them justice--at all. As a personal Christmas present I bought myself 2 softboxes and a seamless white backdrop, I'm still figuring out both of them so just bear with it while I figure everything out and my parents got me an SLR camera FINALLY. Ugh I've gone so long without one (which is difficult as a fashion blogger).</div>

The movie Clueless will always be a fashion inspiration for me. I felt like I needed a kilt in my life so I found one on eBay at a really reasonable price. But any who I spent the day walking downtown with a friend exploring different shops. Today was the day after my 6th year Vegetarianism anniversary so we went to my favorite vegan restaurant, Counter Culture, and then walked across the street to a vegan bakery, Capital City Bakery, for the first time. It was such a lovely way to spend the day.</div>

So this was the second outfit my friend and I photographed on our double OOTD mission lasting until 1 AM. It was surprisingly cold this night and there's actually a story behind this location. She lives near a parking garage with vines growing all around the façade and I thought I wanted to photograph there but it was quite hard to reach the spot I wanted so we wandered into the garage and it was amazing! These wires are what keep the cars from falling down the middle but don't they look like sculptures!? </div>

Hello! I feel bad for not posting and I'm super sorry! I shot 2 OOTD posts in one night at like midnight after I got off work because of it; expect the other post later this week. I wore this outfit to a book launch for my friend who was part of 512Stew, a group of UT Design Majors. I got to meet a lot of cool people and visited the nearby gallery on their campus as well which was quite inspiring.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I kinda stole the show with my outfit and I felt bad because I didn't even mean to; I had planned this outfit the night before I was even invited but I don't think I made any of my friends upset, thankfully.</div>

Hello! I made something recently! Guess what it is! It's this hella cool dress you can see!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So yeah I was bored one day and I had this idea in mind for a future project I'm putting together and I just decided to do it now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall, it was pretty easy. It just took a lot of time because vinyl is incredibly cumbersome to work with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Walking in it was more of a challenge than I thought it would be, I had to walk a bit slower than I usually do and shorten my stride but I saw some people take photos of me so it was pretty worth it.</div>

I visited the Capitol again! I hadn't planned on shooting an OOTD post but my friend suggested it so we just had my phone to work with. Sorry for the lower quality ahead of time. I found this suit at a thrift store and originally it had pants but I cut it down to shorts. The pattern is really unique; it's a glossy square pattern over a matte fabric.</div>

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you already know that I love dressing monochrome. My style is starting to transition to my vision of how people in the future would realistically dress. I've been getting inspiration from Tron, Star Trek, Zenon, along with actual designers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So there's definitely some of that aesthetic in this post but I wanted to include other coats I thought were cute because I know not everyone wants to look like <a href="http://scifanatic.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/boyce_large.jpg" target="_blank">a doctor from Star Trek.</a></div>

I'm still inspired by club kids from the 80's and 90's so that creeps back into my style from time to time. The coat on the far left is part of Minju Kim's collection with H&M launching October 17th at select stores and has a really crazy mix of prints on the back. Pink coats are trendy too so I had to include a faux fur one.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">

For those that insist on purchasing a wardrobe staple you can wear everyday and dress up or down I've included these! I think the texture of the Comme des Garçons coat (far left) really elevates it from other blazers and blazer style jackets. I just had to include a cape too, they are the <i>definition</i> of timeless.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">

If you're curious about the ones I love the most, they are 2,4,5 from STERILE, 3 from COLORFUL and 1,3 from TIMELESS. I'm planning to buy the blue fur one and one of the two far right ones in STERILE. Unfortunately, because I live in Texas winter doesn't really exist so I don't have a huge demand for coats. I know, depressing <i>major</i>.</div>

Rick Owens, in a single show, used more ethnic models than Paris Fashion Week has ever seen before. This wasn't your usual fashion runway, this was a step performance presentation with the step team members modeling the clothes. This was iconic. This was legendary.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The models were comprised of 3 step teams performing as one. I think it's so adorable to see how excited they were for the show (below) and then to see the transition into the faces they had on the runway. The ethnic diversity and lack of size 0 models made this show jarring and was just the fresh air that the fashion industry needed.</div>

Greetings! Today was a lovely day, it didn't get too hot today, thankfully. And I gave a speech about why Anna Wintour is an important person to my presentational speaking class! I've been wanting to do this hairstyle for awhile because I saw it on Scary Spice and then Azealia Banks and even Miley Cyrus wore it a couple weeks ago but I never knew what it was called so I didn't know how to look it up. My struggle was really real. But I found a helpful video on youtube and I was so happy! The video is linked at the bottom of the post.</div>

Today's the last day in my Week of White! I told y'all I had something special in store! I was inspired by @majormoon on instagram, a hair colorist who regularly uses glitter gels. I mixed a bit of cheap $1 clear gel with glitter and painted it on and voila! I love how it looks and everyone on campus has been telling me they like it, most of the people I'm completely stranger to. I thought this look was one of the most casual "resort" looks I've done this week but I shook it up with the glitter gel which is why I chose to title it as such. I think it all just kinda works.</div>

So after my extremely weird outfit yesterday I wanted to tone it down and be comfortable today. But just because I'm comfortable today doesn't mean I don't have something up my sleeve for tomorrow... just you wait.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a child I was a hardcore fan of the Spice Girls, my favorite was Baby Spice. I still love them after all these years! I mean hello, tuesday's outfit title was a spin of Sporty Spice! My favorite has definitely switched to Ginger Spice though because of her wacky fashion antics but I listen to them almost every day. So I thought I would finally get a Spice Girls shirt. I still remember (my mom) buying this album the day it came out and I thought the cover was just beyond cool.</div>

Third day of my Week of White! People have started figuring out what I'm doing but it's started something else. They think I'm going to continue the year wearing monochrome outfits, a different color every week! These people do not know how lazy I am. That is just too much work to do every week, honey.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But I made this "body cover" during the summer and I've just been waiting for the right time to break it out. I was inspired by <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/slideshow/F2013RTW-STMARTINS/#46" target="_blank">Hwan Sung Park</a> but I couldn't find it for sale anywhere. I think it was just a showpiece so I made my own. It was super simple. Get a piece of tulle as tall as you and sew the sides together to make a tube and then just sew in an elastic neckband.</div>

Today's the second day in my 'week of white' and I really like this outfit. While I've worn outfits that pushed boundaries before, I've never worn a skort. But I actually really love this. I guess it's just like a pair of shorts with fresh-to-death detailing on the front.</div>

Today was my first day back to school and I felt so happy to be back. My classes bored me a little because I only had one of my design classes today and two electives. But tomorrow should be more fun, I have two design classes to look forward to.</div>

An idea has been stirring in my head for awhile and last night I finally decided I would do it. All this week I'm only going to wear white. Why? There's literally no reason at all other than that I think wearing a monochromatic outfit makes you stand out and I like to stand out. (And white is my favorite color.) People really seemed to enjoy my outfit I wore today, as well as my extensions. I'm loving the extensions.</div>

Okay if you've been following my blog for awhile now you may have noticed that I really like for the top to be the focal point and I just wear solid color (usually black) jeans with accessories.</div>

This outfit was no different but I decided to toss on some hippie-inspired shades. I think it made the outfit ~totally groovy~!</div>

Okay I know it seems like I've died or abandoned this blog and I'm here to dispel both of those.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In between working almost every day during this summer and trying to pack for my big move back to Austin I have little time for anything else. BUT I'm here to publish this DIY.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ombré seems like it's everywhere lately. In hair, in fashion, even on WALLS. So I wanted to try to make an ombré shirt myself and I did!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought a shirt from a thrift store in Houston for like $2 because I figured if I messed it up it wouldn't be that big of a deal. When buying a shirt to dye you want to use something made out of a natural fiber (cotton, linen, rayon, etc.) If you try to dye something like polyester or nylon you are literally wasting your time because it won't dye. The dye I used was from Hobby Lobby in <a href="http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/dylon-fabric-dye-213579/" target="_blank">Tropical Green by Dylon</a>. Now I do have one thing to say about the dye. This was my first time dyeing anything and I don't know what happened but as you can see it come out as turquoise, not tropical green. I still love it though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I followed the instructions about mixing the dye and I used our big sink in the laundry room. Make sure to use a stainless steel or glass sink to avoid tinting the metal or marble (this is very important). Also, if you decide to use a new article of clothing to dye, wash it before to prep it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once the dye was mixed I put the shirt on a hanger and because I couldn't think of anything better I held it up the <i>entire </i>hour and a half it took. This is the hardest part. In order to get an even ombré and not a striped gradient (*moment of silence for striped ombrés*) set a timer in even increments. I did four 20-minute increments and then one 10-minute increment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Starting, you dip the bottom of the shirt (or whatever you're dyeing) into the dye and let it sit for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes is up, dip a little more of the shirt into the dye, I moved the shirt in 2-3 inch increments. Don't do much more than that or you'll get stripes. Continue this process until the time is up. It took me an hour and a half. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0XrJvwrdA79dhzEkd0QBArUHN6zSa4Vso8oGFCn8R-H9ZsQcuSIQmQMHyjax5PNI6bdm9ev1XLb2lyDH7s4n0P09dqHWAXYdqmFld8Vu0qdnczuetI1c_U8XrPv0OKSSTxS8aTVHSXxba/s1600/20+minutes+later.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0XrJvwrdA79dhzEkd0QBArUHN6zSa4Vso8oGFCn8R-H9ZsQcuSIQmQMHyjax5PNI6bdm9ev1XLb2lyDH7s4n0P09dqHWAXYdqmFld8Vu0qdnczuetI1c_U8XrPv0OKSSTxS8aTVHSXxba/s400/20+minutes+later.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After you're done ombréing just drain the sink of the dye and rinse the article with cold water making sure to rinse the dye from the lightest part to the darkest part. You're done! Throw the shirt in the wash by itself (ON COLD) and wear it out after it dries!<br />
