Daily Outfit & Alice in Wonderland Review

(no Marvelous Monday post this week – it was kind of a scrawny bunch, so I’m just saving those links for next week!)

Saturday was kind of a mixed bag. I didn’t get photos of the outfit I was wearing earlier in the day, but I started off frustrated because my hair was not cooperating (just [...]

Links a la Mode

Project Beyond the Runway
Edited by Fashion Pulse Daily
Reading through the links this week, I realized that fashion week or no fashion week, fashion will most certainly go on! A winter snowstorm couldn’t even slow down New York Fashion Week, and the links below are testament to the wonderful style that exists beyond the runway, such [...]

Daily Outfit 2/25/10

I need to stop writing these posts when I’m tired, so I can come up with witty titles!

HOKAY. So here we have: T-shirt from Rock N Swap & then dyed unevenly (more on that in a second), H&M hacked up skirt, JUMP booties, Tarina Tarantino bracelet is from BX, secondhand necklace, no idea where I [...]

Saturday Shoelust: Wedge Edition

Three out of four are Jeffrey Campbell. He’s fast approaching John Fluevog as far as “man who makes most awesome shoes”!

Sure, these aren’t anything revolutionary – but they are awesome.

These are apparently exclusive to Need Supply Co. – they come in black leather and gray suede. Personally, I like the black leather more.

Audi is to [...]

What to Look for When Buying Vintage Shoes

Vintage shoes are wonderful. You can get a unique shoe that not everyone else will have, usually for a fraction of the price that you’d pay today for shoes of similar quality. However, there are some things you need to watch out for when buying vintage shoes. These include:

All leather construction. This means the shoes [...]

Daily Outfit 2/5/10

Can you see the pain on my face, people? Yeah. I went out for dinner with Amanda and Indiana, thinking that I didn’t feel too hot and that I’d probably bail before the Fashion Freakout, and then changed my mind. Lesson learned: never wear anything but the most comfortable heels when there is even the [...]

Sassy Spring Fluevogs

You knew there’d be a post as soon as the spring Fluevogs went up. Don’t lie.

Seems like they’re expanding the vegan friendly shoes in a new, cuter direction. I’m not sure how much I’d actually WEAR these (Matt says not at all), but they’re super cute.

These are a modern, funky take on the classic mary [...]

Apocalypse Ladies: the Valkyries

These Polyvore sets/character sketches will (hopefully, unless my creativity runs dry!) be a semi-regular feature from here on out. These are actually for a story idea I have, but the others probably won’t be. It kind of sucks, because I think the story would work much better in graphic novel/comic format (than just being written), [...]

Cultural Appropriation vs. Inspiration

(This post & the one on Birdie’s blog are a dual effort and meant to be read together, so go check out her’s too!)
So, a few days ago, Birdie and I were talking about the directions our styles are moving in (which seems to be a similar place!). I used the phrase “steampunk Norse shaman” [...]

Daily Outfit 1/30/10

FYI: It was very bright and very cold outside, hence the slightly grumpy face.
Here we have: Target tank-dress (secret: it’s actually a maternity tank…which apparently means super long…), American Apparel t-shirt-dress-thing (from Buffalo Exchange, destroyed by your’s truly), and wrap-thingy also from BX. The boots, of course – you may have noticed they’re getting a [...]
