Met Gala 2012

I may be a day late and a dollar short (maybe a few more) , but I have an opinion too dammit! Let's jump right in.
Solange Knowles killed it!

Get a gander at that arm. Her bracelets are by Lady Grey Jewelry and yes I am obsessed. Solo's look was flawless, and my fav of the night.

Another one of my favs was Rooney Mara. There could not have been a better pairing than Rooney in Givenchy. It's like the perfect marriage without all the weird shit behind closed doors. The grass really is greener on the other side of that fence. Sheer perfection.

I can't say I was all that impressed by the rest of the Met attendee's this year. There were quite a few questionable looks. I'll spare you from the rant about sicko and barbie arms (still love 'em but...yeah). 

I'll exit with...

Oh, Anja. Here's hoping hips do in fact lie. 

Cheers!

Summer Style

Dree Hemingway's Coachella Mulberry BBQ pool party ensemble has the wheels spinning. Yes, the print reminds me of a kitchen towel set from Ross (sorry Dolce & Gabbana), but the silhouette is what I'm loving. I kinda want to trot around the city in a bustier and belted midi poplin skirt the whole summer. Aside from the chili cook off apron print, I really dig this look. I will be recreating this silhouette along with this one from the same runway all season long.

Problem Solved

Please See Figure 1

Here's how I did it:

Play around with the boa for the desired effect. It took me a little while, but I finally got it.

AND I managed to keep all my limbs in tact =D

This won't be the last you see of these.... Stay tuned!

Robz Sweatshirt

I like going out and dressing up, but 99.9% of the time sometimes I prefer to lounge around the house in a sweatshirt. The warmer weather is upon us (well in TX), so sweatshirt days are pretty much over. Le Sigh. Not to worry, the Fall 2012 collections provided awesome sweatshirt options for next go round. These ain't your brothers old digs either. These things are damn there wedding appropriate.

Join a weird trip bitches!

Rapper Style

Italian Vogue says rapper style is making a comeback next season. Interesting... In any case, does this mean I can replicate this Veronica Webb Elle cover look + pose in every photo?

Yes.

Not a Pastel Gal

I dig the soft sorbet palette of spring 2012, but I must admit I'm not a pastel kinda gal. I am just now making a real effort to break out of my all black everything wardrobe... I think pastel's summon a certain type of woman; a sugar and spice and everything nice kind of a girl. I'm more of a liquorice, and rum, and dance to the beat of my drum kind of a girl (yes, I just made that up lol). I could never pull it off. The one article of clothing I do own in a softer shade is my beloved pink pouf. It's a darling full midi skirt that I plan on pairing with a bralet of sorts this spring. You know we liquorice girls have to find some way to slut up an outfit.

I love the Nineties

90s CK ad

I'll admit I'm having a full on nineties moment. I realize it's the least appreciated decade, but I would be lying if I said I hated it. I was born in the late mid eighties, but I consider myself a nineties kid. I didn't really get a chance to experience nineties fashion at an age where I was able to purchase my own clothes, so blame it. I imagine being twenty...something at the height of the supermodel, and taking all of my cues from Naomi & Kate. I imagine hauling my backpack purse to countless ATCQ shows and music fests, and pissing my neighbors off as I blast All I Wanna Do for the umpteenth time on a Friday evening. The Life...

3.1 Phillip Lim

The Spring 2012 collections were filled with small nods to the nineties. Designer Phillip Lim said, "I'm a child of the nineties. Your references are what you grew up with." While I'd like to forget JNCO jeans ,and scrunchies count me in for nineties chic minimalism a la CK and sexy, sleek dresses reminiscent of the late great Gianni Versace. 

I guess I can halt the production on  that time machine. For Now...
