#OOTD: Shorter and shorter

My entire outfit is from American Apparel today and I didn't even realize it! I went home for the weekend but I didn't plan on a new outfit so I grabbed this polo from my closet at home for today and it worked out perfectly. I don't even know why I left it.

But anyways, my outfit was pretty simple today. I'm getting into cropped sweaters lately, wearing them over other shirts. It's a much more comfortable way to pair a cropped sweater during the winter or when you just don't feel like baring your body. Try it out.

This OOTD is called:

Shorter and shorter

because I keep cutting my sweaters shorter and shorter

all clothes: American Apparel

and I wore a kawaii pink bindi today to pair with the pastel shirt.

#OOTD: Secret

Hello everyone! So I went thrifting and I got so many cool clothes! I haven't been thrifting in awhile but I kept meaning to go so finally I went. I bought 8 pieces for $19 (I know, right!!).

There's another #OOTD (inspired by Clueless) coming after this from my thrift store adventure but this one is called:

Secret

thrifted Victoria's Secret jumper, thrifted high-waisted shorts, Dr. Martens 1461

Have a nice day and remember, don't let anyone tell you how to dress :)

Christopher Kane FW 2013

SO, Christopher Kane's collection was probably the one I was most excited for in London Fashion Week. Kane only recently appeared on the fashion radar a few years ago but he has established himself and become loved by many. (I'm one of those people.) In his latest collection, he went for a sensible route using heavy fabrics. Looking below you can check out the major trends in his Fall 2013 show:

Blue Buckles

Camo

Last-Minute Valentine's Day Outfits

Okay so the time is crunching down and you're starting to freak out because you have nothing to wear for Valentine's? Well calm the hell down because you've come to the right place. I'm not going to commentate as much on the outfits this time since you need to be figuring out what to wear and not reading. HURRY There are outfits for men and women here so keep on scrolling.

I selected outfits for both sides of Valentine's Day; they reflect the darker, romantic side and the puppy love, cute side. If you want to purchase anything in the collages, click on the link in the collage's description. First the men's and then the women's..

A masculine take on floral

Topman shirt, Levi's pants (slate), Dr. Martens shoes

More floral, but with choices (any combo of these would look good)

Topman shirt, Topman Tie, Urban Outfitters shirt, Levi's jeans, Dr. Marten's (shoes, boots)

A bold outfit for guys who like to push the limits

Alexander Wang cropped turtleneck, American Apparel pants, Zana Bayne harness, Dr. Martens boots

OOTD: Salute

My friend Robby came over and we decided to do a quick shoot (I didn't even wear this today shh don't tell anyone). We took the photos by the power plant on my campus where I took my senior photos and I ended up climbing in a chute that I wasn't supposed to as you can see below. It was pretty sketchy. I've worn this outfit before but never documented it anywhere so I decided to just redo it because cute. I also can't stop incorporating the Margiela for H&M clutch into outfits so it's here as well. This outfit is called...

SALUTE

OOTD: Shine bright, shine far

I wore this outfit yesterday and it's a pretty normal outfit (for me anyways) but I thought it was pretty cute so I wanted to share it anyways as inspiration. Also, you'll notice that I went more wild on the editing than I usually do. I don't want my photos to look "cheap" so I don't tend to over-edit them for OOTDs but I just really wanted to today.

This look is called

SHINE BRIGHT, SHINE FAR

(30 points for you if you recognize the title is from Life-Size)

OOTD: Caught in a Net

I wore this outfit to my classes today; I had American Experiences (which is basically American History), Rhetoric & Composition II, and Color & Design. I'm really loving my classes so far, even the core ones. I'm behind on my major since I recently switched it to Graphic Design so I'm taking quite a bit of classes but they're all really enjoyable. Nothing really exciting happened today other than me going to Whole Foods. I purchased Skin DeTox tea and Tazo berryblossom white tea as well as some agave nectar. This look is called:

CAUGHT IN A NET

peacoat, Banana Republic collared shirt, Colorful mesh shirt, Levi's jeans, Dr. Martens boots, Urban Outfitters backpack, Swarovski ring

And the craziest thing happened to me when I was taking these photographs-- someone walked into the staircase as my camera flash was going off, it was mortifying. And then running away out of embarrassment, I tripped up the stairs and the worst part is that I didn't even see their face. 

I'm just trying to blog, not be embarrassed.

What I Wore: Second Semester

I wore this outfit on the first day returning back from break and it was freezing!! Luckily, my faux fur coat kept me warm.

My shirt is from a friend and I was so excited to finally get it. Studded Petals (the brand) took awhile making it but it was worth it. The title is a direct reflection of what the shirt says... this look is called

Donatella Stella

thrifted faux fur coat, Studded Petals shirt, gold chain from eBay, American Apparel Easy Jeans, Dr. Martens boots

Later that night, I met up with some friends: Robby & Sunny. We went to Kerbey Lane cafe which is always tasty and I got my sweet potato fries for free because there was a hair in it (...I know.) Our waitress was really nice though. And then after that Sunny got inspired to get her ears pierced because she had a coupon for a tattoo/piercing parlor but she found out it didn't cover ears so she just decided to get her septum pierced; she is admirably spontaneous.

Here are the photos from the night:

Versace Menswear FW2013

Versace was all about skin, skin and more skin this season!

Usually I find brands that don't design for the season the show is showing for a bit irritating (there was lace for Fall/Winter), but since Donatella did so amazing for the usually blah menswear category, I'll let it slide ;)

The show started with conservative looks that had the ever-present Versace twist on them.

but as the show progressed, it got crazier and crazier...

Styling the American Apparel Easy Jean

American Apparel has a series of high-waisted styles and one of their most popular pick is the Easy Jean. This style comes in 11 colours and is a bit pricey at $72 but it's totally worth it. They smooth out your body and lift your butt (I'm not kidding). Everything looks perfect in these jeans. Can you tell I'm in love?

So, because these are pretty popular I wanted to give some ways of how to wear them. These looks would cross-over to any gender, as I dress pretty androgynous anyways. 

THE MORE YOU TALK, THE LESS I LISTEN

Jeremy Scott Spring 2013

Jeremy Scott's Spring 2013 collection was AMAZING! He definitely toned it down this season (I missed all the crazy tumblr-inspired-e-net fashion). BUT It was still wonderful. They had scarfs, sheer, BRAIDS, turquoise, golden sequins, and cool trinkets ON the dresses (like actually on them!)

Here were some of my favorite looks:

cheetah boy

the gold chain! 

now you see me, now you don't 

This look reminded me of a banana, but it slowly grew on me

werk that baroque!

Her skin with this garment is so striking!

Which one do I look at?

From far away, they look like a pattern....

but close-up, they're golden guns!!!

Look at Jeremy rocking corn-rolls!

I wonder how long that took...

GGGGRRRRIIIMMMMMMEEESSSSSS

I really enjoyed his last show with the psychedelic colour choices and patterns but this show was still killer! In a way, it was good that he toned this season down, I'm not too sure I would've enjoyed it as much this round. Go Jeremy!

What were your favorites?? Did you like this collection more than the last collection? Leave a comment  below!!

What's that I see?

I don't want to call it a trend because that would mean it's a temporary stop in the history of fashion. I guess I could call it a phenomena.

Coloured eyebrows are a phenomena. 

While the idea of changing your eyebrow colour seems new to some people, it's been around much longer than you think and even survives in our generation. It's amazing.

Boy George was always known as being a fashionista/o. In the mid 80's (pictured below), he played around with makeup and coloured his brows! They're a subtle colour, navy blue, but this wasn't the only instance, as I'm sure you'll be able to find. 

More recently, Balenciaga had a show in 2010 with colored eyebrows!! How could you look at the clothing when those eyebrows are there?!?!?!

"is that a donut?"

"can't wait to eat after this."

I love the pastel take on them. CUTE. CUTE. CUTE.

Even celebs are getting in on this craze...

Audrey Kitching

Justin Tranter, from Semi Precious Weapons

T.O.P., from Big Bang

Byron London and Jamie Ryan Dee are 2 well-known bloggers who took the plunge recently too...

Two seasons ago, Chanel decided to spice up the decorations and glued sequins and beads to their models!

Coco-approved

What do you think about this wacky phenomena? Would you do this?
