New Grunge Pinup

Hi everybody!

Today's outfit is one I've had the most fun putting together in a long time. From the neck upwards, the style is very 40's inspired. I put on a kickass red lipstick, and figured out how to throw my hair into a victory roll (the key is lots of teasing and obscene amounts of hairspray!) As for the rest of the outfit, the idea is monochromatic new grunge, so I stuck with simpler black-and-white items. I thought the pairing made for nice juxtaposition.

I hope you enjoyed!

Chambray And Florals

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is fun and airy. I found this floral and comfy striped crop top that pairs wonderfully with the navy high waisted skirt. I added on a chambray button up, leaving it open, to make the look more casual. I've become obsessed with my new sunglasses, and love them to pieces. For my hair, I straightened it and teased the crown for a very rocker 'do.

Hope you enjoyed!

Denim in Distress

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is casual, for a day to the mall or out for some frozen yogurt. I've finally embraced the chambray button up shirt trend, and I understand the hype. They're so comfortable! I want more in different colors! I was hesitant to add jeans into the mix, since there's already a denim print in the shirt. I opted for a cheetah-print pair of pants and earth-toned accessories. I absolutely adore the faux-leather messenger bag, because it's structured and has pockets on the front for my cell phone.

Hope you enjoyed!

Elephant in the Room

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is inspired by elephants! I recently acquired a top with an amazing elephant design on it. Coincidentally, I also have elephant themed jewelry which I threw on. The shirt itself is rather baggy, so I tied it in a knot to cinch in the waist. For the bottom half of the outfit, I have on a "faux skirt." By adding the shirt on top of a navy dress, it gives the illusion that I have on a swishy, A-line skirt instead.

I hope you enjoyed!

Neon Daffodils

Hey everybody!

I have fully embraced springtime and all of the beautiful colors that come along with it! I hit up the mall and picked out some bright pieces. My favorite is the swishy, pleated daffodil colored skirt. It's really flattering worn high waisted, and I added a tied chambray shirt to highlight that feature. I added some fun silver accessories, like cool jingly bangles. To finish off the look, I added my polka dot oxfords.

I hope you enjoyed!

Thanksgiving 2012

Hey everybody! I hope everybody's had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did; I have a lot to be thankful for. I have wonderful friends and family, a lovely home, and a cool gig with sparknotes.com. My family and I had an unorthodox Thanksgiving dinner. We headed to Mall of the Emirates for burgers and frozen yogurt! It was absolutely delicious, and one of my favorite Thanksgiving dinners to date. Funnily enough, some of the shops were having major sales, despite Black Friday being an American sort of thing. I got started on my Christmas shopping and got some gifts. Later, we headed to a showing of the new James Bond movie, Skyfall. It was fabulous, and a must see for any lovers of action films! 

Shake Shack never fails!! 

Yum! Pinkberry hit the spot!

I'm thankful that at least my brother might be tall! His fashion statement was "Thanksgiving Football".

 I hope you all enjoyed!

Burgundy Bows

Hey everybody! Today's outfit is very girly and autumnal. The focal point is the adorable burgundy bow printed dress. It has a lovely scoopneck collar, and a sheer panel at the top. I also really like the fitted, structured shape. I added on dark accessories for both contrast and warmth. I finally found the perfect pair of footed tights, which I think go amazingly well with the dress and the flats! On a side note, doesn't the entire outfit feel very Zooey Deschannel-ish? I also did my makeup to compliment the color of the dress. You can see a full tutorial here. 

 I hope you enjoyed! Until next time,

Trick-or-Treat & Blogtober Finale

Hey everybody! I hope you all are having a fabulous Halloween! I had a wonderful time trick-or-treating with my little brother, Isaiah. We went all around our neighborhood, which really got into the Halloween spirit! Most of the houses we went to were intricately decorated with ghouls and pumpkins and spiders and other great, scary things. My brother went as a pirate, which featured an amazingly long weave. I went as a dark-princess sort of thing, since I found a really cool purple mask that went with my black dress. 

We spent around 45 minutes going house to house and enjoying the cool Dubai night air. Well, I enjoyed the cool night. Halfway through our trip, my brother started complaining about his hot plastic weave! Haha! We came home with an impressive bags of loot- one house gave us each a full Twix bar! Then we settled in for the night with pizza, popcorn, and my favorite Halloween movie, Hocus Pocus. Today's been absolutely fabulous! :) 

Arr! Show me yer booty!

So. Much. Candy. 

Today isn't just a modern day celebration of All Hallow's Eve; today is the end of Blogtober! I hope you've enjoyed this month as much as I have! I can't wait to do it again next year. :)

Modern Day Witch

Hey everybody! I have a secret. I'm actually a witch! Haha, just kidding. I threw this last-minute Halloween costume together using stuff I already had. The main pieces are a little black dress, and black shoes/flats. I coordinated my eye makeup to match my own little witch-hat that I made out of construction paper and TONS of glitter glue. I like it, even though it looks like a cross between a leprechaun hat and the Mickey Mouse hat from Fantasia 2000. Still, this was a fun look to create!

Oh, you know. Just summoning my hat. No big deal. 

This little witch updated her flying vehicle! Brooms are SO last year! 

Up, up, and away!

Here's a closer look at my poorly CONSTRUCTED hat. Haha!

I hope you enjoyed! What are you going as for Halloween?
