Fashion from the GRAVE

PAPER Magazine is another one of my favorite mags and i was looking at some of thier archived editorials and came across this one entitled Franken Fashion. I was studying abroad in Italy at the time and totally missed this gorgeous shoot.
The editorial featured alot of work from the Great Alexander Mqueen, but the styling was lovely. anyway just check it out.

Air...

I always am interested in how horoscopes play into life, and recently i have been having conversations with my best friend and sister about how they really do play a strong role in how we go about our days making decisions and expressing our selves.
I am a gemini which is an air sign. and just to break it down for ya, the air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius; Fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagitarius; Water signs are Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer; and finally Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn ...but lets get back to the subject.
I am a Gemini and lately i have been observing how my strongest relationships whether that be romantic or friendship, have been with earth and water types, and according to some pros these three signs make the best "astrological threesome". i agree because it relates to scientific facts such as precipitaion. So the water feeds the earth, the earth feeds up into the air and the air carries the nutrients to the sea and the sea gives the the air moisture to then feed the earth with rain... so yeah, i am going back to my Colorado hippie roots with this, but i truly feel it's true.
However, i have always been attracted to Fire signs, but this is a relationship that is only one sided. each time i have made friends or romantic relationships with this sign i've felt like i get nothing in return. I feel that this also has to do with natural elements and some science stuff, since fire feeds off of wind or air and air gets nothing in return except regret from the chaos that fire has made.
I am still really interested in horoscopes and am now really staying aware of mine. so anyway, i will try to keep some of these posts coming as this one has been pretty selfish for us Air signs, but think about it, and even do some research'n of your own.

Outfit for today.

So I'm still obsessed with my dream boutique and since i just finished my apprenticeship as a stylist at Ralph Lauren, i am still in the styling mind set.
So seeing that i must be deranged in my head, I'm pretending to style some unknown client today. The pretend/ ghost lady I'm styling, is young and edgy and is spending her day shopping and exploring Chicago. so here are some pieces from my boutique that i would put her skinny ass in.

ORGANIC rotation

Adi Zaffran Weisler, is a graduate designer of the Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem. His Furniture designs are constructed using the industrial process of rotational molding, however, he infuses organic wood/ matter into his designs allowing them to cross into realms of either the natural, or the man-made.

Get me to the Masked Ball.

So, of course this happened in Octobre, but i am currently entirely interested in masks/ head structures/ face obstructions so i looked at Paris Vogue's 90th anniversary ball which was themed with masks and was a bit disappointed with some of them but adored a few that came on out so here are my own personal lists of Hit and Misses.

MISSES :(

Really? a ninja turtle mask?

The phantom of Jersey Shore.

This just screams "I'm a Douchebag"

I love the Hair, but wear yo mask at gurl?

HITS :)

ADORE!!!

Simple but lovely

Although Dita deserves a mask much more worthy of this undermined stick mask, she still scores high points for her grace and poise, plus she dresses up all the time, she deserves some time to just enjoy the party.

ON THE FENCE :/ ???

oi...

L.O.V.E. the mask, but... the hair and dress are not helping it shine at'tall.

My Dream Closet/ Boutique

So i was reading one of my favorite blogs yesterday and came across this little link that said "create your own boutique that expresses your personal style" so i clicked it and have been oober obsessed with what i have made.
So far, my personal style from just setting up my store has been determined as Edgy, and Romantic. I agree, but the best part of this is that i can collect designer items and then save the ones i adore to my favorites. there then is the option to buy them, but lets face it, it's better to just pretend when your a 22 year old art student. there are some pretty nice affordable things on here too. So check out my Boutique and make one of your own if you like and i will follow u if you follow muah. <3
Here are some of my favorite items from my Boutique. Jesus, i wish i owned these bitches... and had the ability to change into a woman every now and then to wear them, but oh well.
Here is my Storfront.
