Fashion as Art: Christian Louboutin Campaign

  

As you may have already guessed, I love when fashion editorials and clothes get turned into art. So...this campaign pretty much made me very happy! I love it, and I think its SO creative. Such a fresh perspective, a nice change of pace in fashion magazines riddled with adds of long legged blondes.

Fashion Week: Versace Goes Figure-Skater-esque


It may have been after watching the figure skating Sochi finals last night(Adelina Sotnikova was absolutely amazing) and admiring all the beautiful figure skating dresses, but some of the Versace Fall/Winter 2014 collection looks a lot like what a figure skater would wear, and I've been seeing dresses similar elsewhere on the runways. Are short glittery mini dresses with sequins and frills back?

Nasty Gal x ncLA
 Bland nails are out, dainty floral nails are in! If you're into nail art this is a good time to flaunt it. With Spring around the corner comes a ton of new floral nail art, and this time around it looks classy, not Gaudy.

Pink Velvet and Studded Leather


Valentine's calls for hearts and pink and ruffles and frills. Too much! Today, post-Valentine's day, I keep a hint of the Valentine's day frill with a pink velvet dress, but add some much needed edge to the outfit by layering on a studded black leather jacket and keeping the entire rest of the outfit black. Instead of my usual straightened hair, I instead went au natural and brushed through my curls to create the poufed look many of the fashion week runways are sporting.
