Moving Forward.

Time to cater to one of my greatest passions as well - FASHION. It's not my most prominent interest, but still a pretty significant one.

Shout out to my friend SEAN, whose blog introducted me to the Satorialist, a blog dedicated to appreciating fashion around the world.

 

I don't have much money right now because I spend so much of it on gas, dancing, music, food, school, etc.  But at least I can indulge virtually =)

Here are a few ensembles I adored while surfing:

My fashion taste can only be described as simple, but very specific. A motif I try to live my whole life by, might I add.

Here, this dress is so intricate and vibrant, but very subtle.  The pattern almost looks like midnight tinted peacock feathers; the centers gently catching light to really add that special spark to the outfit.  I love how its soft, flowy fabric contrasts with the thicker material of the vest coat. The gloves look like they're almost constructed in a pinstripe weaving. Details, honey!

 

If you know me, then you know my favorite color is black. Why? it's timeless, clean, and brings out the highlights in colors all around it.

Here, this guy's coat is beautifully tailored. The buttons, pockets, and stitching accentuate his frame very well.  The peek of the blue shirt under is toned down just enough to balance with the brightness of the brown scarf (you wouldn't think brown could be bright, huh?).  Usually I'm not toooooo crazy about having two brightly contrasting colors in one outfit, but the black majority brings it all together.

And finally, you know I'm all about ingenuity. How do you make sexy pieces look striking without crossing the line? Downplay it enough to be intimidating, but not overbearing! 

I've got to say that my favorite piece in this outfit is the skirt. It's the heart of the masterpiece of course, and everything else compliments it very well.  The zippered skirt looks like it's made of some tethered, rough material - just enough to bring some raw edge.  The zipper across the thighs undone just a tad adds that sexy along with the platform stiletto boots.  And last but not least, the black tights and scarf cover her up, making this look perfectly appropriate.

Wellll that's all for now. In other aspects of life, I'm moving forward FAST. I can't wait for what's to come.  I've also been informed that in my upcoming showcase 600 people will be in the audience. No pressure right? =)

Stay Lovely Los Angeles,
