An Expression of Love...

Balmain is my ultimate favorite designer. I absolutely die for Victoria Beckham's structured, elegant, status defying frocks, drool over Stella McCartney's lady-like menswear and can't get enough of the comfy glam of Alexander Wang's T collection, etc., etc., etc...but Balmain is the master of bold shoulders, studs, gromments, acid-wash, distressed jeans, shredded cut-offs, thigh high splits, etc., etc., etc.
His S2011RTW collection did not disappoint...It made my eyes water and widen like a child on Christmas morning, enraptured by the studded, shredded, ripped and acidic couture. Can I just say that I love that his models were bared faced (or at least made to look like it) with dewy skin and bone straight hair? Well, I did.
Of course, as I said Balmain is my favorite designer. D e s i g n e r.
Never would I ever shell out tens of thousands of dollars...
Even on things as gorgeous as these. I'm much too attached (or detached) to reality for that. I'd rather just grab a handful of safety pins, kitchen shears, sandpaper, marker pens and get to work.

Winter Wishlist

I've already decided that my late fall/early winter shopping trip is going to consist of only the following: Thigh-high socks, cable-knit socks (to wear with booties), sleeved maxi dresses and structured & a-lined mini dresses. It won't be complete without a garter belts and a fresh pair of leather thigh-high flat boots (I don't do heels in the freezing cold) and gansta ankle booties. I've also vowed to limit myself to five black pieces—including the boots! Yikes.
Pleated Chino trousers in black—Zara
Polyester sold thigh-high sock in black and white—American Apparel
Backless tank dress in grey—American Apparel
Military style ankle boots with piking in black—Zara
Viscose shawl cardigan in grey-taupe—American Apparel
Jumpsuit with big pockets in black—Zara
Unisex jumper pant in black—American Apparel
Leopard face ring—Forever 21
Flat sole turndown boot in brown—Zara
Suedette elastic belt in brown—Forever 21
Leopard print ballerina with bow—Zara

S2011RTW LOOKS I'M LOVING

My style is one extreme to the other—it's either black, minimal, bitchy and tough with sharp shoulders, unabashed plunging necklines, thigh-high splits, grommets and studs or muted, soft whites, creams and pastels with Grecian inspired drapery made from luxe silks, chiffon and jersey.

With that in mind...
There's something very pleasing to me about this light beige hue and the graciously draped yet narrow plunging v-neckline of this one-piece—sexy, but unpretentiously. It's easily wearable, yet the details—the rouched sleeves, faux wrap draping—make it classically sophisticated. I love how Hermès styled it with the piles of bangles, popped collar and modest sandals...
Don't really understand the sequined waistband, or even why I can't stop scrolling my eyes up and down this photo...and that's why I love it. And because it feeds my obsession with thigh high splits and full-length maxi dresses.
Elie Saab lets a girl dream...This blush pink makes my heart purr, my soul sing...it's so soft, but dramatic and beautiful and alluring. This brings me back to my childhood mindset when I would wrap sheets and comforters around my waist and secure them with scrunchies and run up and down the stairs—I thought I was Cinderella.
The lines in this design is amazing. And this delicate gown with those platforms—ah, genius. Elie Saab has the coveted title of my favorite S2011RTW collection, hands down. 
The majority of the Calvin Klein collection was a minimalist's dream. Though I'm so over black—or so I've convinced myself—and white is my new confidant this spring, I can't get enough of this dress. Can't get enough of it with those unassuming black and bronze strappy platforms and that relaxed ponytail.

Out Of the Spotlight

It's one thing to look flawless on the red carpet...
And another thing to look flawless off of it.


After a hairstylist, makeup artist, wardrobe stylist and hours upon hours are spent on a single look it becomes more of a mind-numbing business arrangement than fashion or style.
Rachel Bilson always nails the casually urban look for me. This is just one of my favorites with the combination of a classic beauty like this timeless Chanel bag with her distressed Paige Denim jeans and vintage-y ankle booties. That feline-esque scarf is exquisite and I love her obvious overgrown roots hair.
This is simple my opinion What do you all think about Rachel Bilson's style? And do you think there's a correlation between a celebrities red carpet presence (in terms of style) than off the red carpet?

I Make My Own Standards...


I'm (strive to be) a nonconformist, non-traditionalist, did-you-see-that-girl type of chick.
I don't wanna look like anyone else, don't want sound like anyone else, don't wanna think like anyone else. Stagnancy disgusts me. I don't do things a certain way because they've always been done that certain way.
I like love tattoos. Love the rebellious attitude they exude. Love that they're permanent (for the most part). I hate bullshit tattoos. I like for tattoos to mean something. To express something that words & actions simply cannot.
