Enfin Vendredi

This summer will be my summer of jumpsuits! O.k, maybe not really but I guess I'm feeling that way since I've acquired 2 vintage jumpsuits this week. This is the first one, from the Etsy shop Alameda Vintage based in LA. It's a structured cotton, with a ditsy print floral which is so so cute when you see it up close (unfortunately my close up pics turned out really dark so I couldn't post them, but fear not, I'll be sporting this bad boy again this summer). The trick to finding a good jumpsuit is making sure that you're staying away from the super 90's prints and structures. Like bold prints can be a little scary with so much material or something with sleeves, breast pockets and shoulder pads can definitely put you in the dynasty category, NOT GOOD . But other than that, jumpsuits are so fun!! As for my weekend plans, I have another photo shoot lined up with my girls from Dusty Rose Vintage , Wild as a Mink , and Showgirl Godzilla . The weather is suppose...

Hair Post: Prom hairstyles

Image
In a perfect world, the thought of prom updo's wouldn't include tight ringlets, slicked side swept part, or tiara's. But alas, it's hard to deviate from the standards that society has built up all these years. Since I haven't done a hair post in a while {so sorry} I thought I'd put together some cool up do's that have been popping up on the red carpet these days. Maybe it's my last ditch effort to convince you to not regret your prom look in 10 years from now. I really liked this soft half up do. Especially if there's nothing fancy happening with the back of the dress . For mid-length bobs this is such a classy l ook . Ask for b i g round curls or its easily attainable at home. Braids, 'nough said . Even though this is side swept, it's not slicked back. Just perfect. Pin curls! Very retro . For the cropped hair girls out there. Start growing out your fri nge . I'm always a fan of the bouffant . Oh for my prom? Pretty sure I brought a ...

Buon Giorno!

{alright, it's not exactly french, just the cute name of my Modcloth scarf!} Yoah, I just logged on to blogger and went to upload my pictures and it's a completely different format! I thought that they took away the option of uploading a picture from your computer, but after a few minutes of telling myself not to freak out, I figured it out. I think I'm one of the last bloggers left that upload pictures this way. I don't know, it's simple you know? Let's just hope as soon as I hit publish, they show up ok. This is a perfect fall outfit. Ugh, I wish sarcasm would translate into text. The weather has not been very nice and I'm not even talking just rain, it's actually been cold too. This makes me upset for a few reasons, like for one, all the cute things I've been acquiring these couple of weeks are waiting to be worn and shown to the world, or you, my fellow readers as I pretty much sit behind a desk all day. I'm sorry I look a little creepy in t...

Les années soixantes

I've been having the worst luck with my outfit shots lately that I can't even bring myself to post them. I'm not sure if it's due to the weather or a lack of time so they all seem rushed but whatever it is, it's got to stop! I am happy however to have some leftover shots from the Dusty Rose Vintage photoshoot. Yes, its still going... Can you believe that these were all taken in one day? That's what you get when you get three fashion loving ladies together in a room full of vintage clothes. Now, about this dress. I spotted it on one of my very first rounds at the studio. I never tried it on then because it seemed like it would be too big and well, I already had a bag full of goodies to play with anyways. But having this past shoot, I said, I need to try this on. Just to see. Well, obvisouly, I fell in love. It's one of those dresses that just looks wide but when you have it on an actual body, it just fits. Its so perfectly 60's. If you missed any of the ...

What to Wear...to a music festival

Image
Here it is, another feature of What to Wear...! As you know I attended Coachella last week and made sure to take some pictures of some stylish ladies. I wasn't planning on having it laid out like this, but it turns out that girls like to dress in pairs. All of the below were friends that just so happen to have matching outfits. It's kind of cute, yes? The hats are both adorable and functional to stay cool in the desert heat. The girl on the left is wearing cute floral shorts which I've been looking for forever.                Although I don't recommend wearing a romper when you're facing a port-a-potty situation, this girl looked super cute. These two are roomates and there outfits were coordinated before hand. Pretty sweet indeed.                   These girls really stood out from a sea of neon bikini tops and jean shorts. Their eth...

Lunettes de Soleil

Just an update from yesterday's outing. As I had mentioned, I had lunch with Nickie , Nikka , and Dusty Rose Vintage . We then headed to the Calvacade in Greenpoint where we enjoyed some beers on their rooftop, in the sun. It was a fabulous day. By then, it was just down to Nickie and I, so we made our way to a BBQ that a friend was having, ended up making the mistake of not eating and without realizing it skipped out on dinner all together in exchange for more beer. And of course we didn't stop there. After leaving the Upper East side to make our way to down to Brooklyn,we made a little pit stop at the Bell House which was mistake number 2, this place has a tendency to suck you in. It's like time just freezes and then all of a sudden it's 4am and the place is closing. Well, the fact that it's so close to home is kind of nice at this point, and the walk is definitely needed. Needless to say that today was  spent sleeping, lounging and trying to get some knitting don...

More pictures from the Dusty Rose Vintage photoshoot! This one was definitely " A Nice Day for a White Wedding " themed post. Super 80's white dresses, perfect for prom! 1980's Vamp shoulder prom dress 1980's tiered ruffle prom dress Victor Costa silver polka dot dress I'm so happy to have met these ladies! Honestly, the people that I have met through blogging has definitely made my time in NYC so much more fulfilling. It's a very strange city to move to when you're over the whole clubbing scene and are pretty much working full time and well, single. So having this group of girls to gab about clothing, blogging, broadway shows (yeah Nikka , that one's for you) is such a precious time for me. I know that sounds cheesy but it's honestly something that I look forward to all week. That said, we're all getting together tomorrow to pull some looks for yet another photoshoot and then some lunch, and after that...well who knows... this IS New Yor...
