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!

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?

Denim Diva

Hey everybody! The focal point of today's outfit is the denim dress. I really like the three-quarter length sleeves, and the hem hits right above the knee, which is the most flattering spot. I also enjoy the texture and feel of the material. It's denim without being tacky or dated. I'm not a huge fan of the silhouette, it goes straight up and down. So I added a bright red belt to cinch in the waist, and added crimson accessories to match. 

I hope you enjoyed! Until next time,

Seeing Red

Hey everybody! Today I felt like dressing up for no reason and threw on a bright crimson dress. It's only been worn once, and I decided to show it some love. It's a lovely fit, very swishy (for lack of better wording) and romantic. Since I didn't want anything else to detract from the dress, I added on black accessories. 

Hope you enjoyed!

I Heart Sundresses

Hey everybody! 

I fell in love with this dress, because it's the perfect summery piece. The toned down royal blue makes the citrus heart accents pop! I paired it with a bright orange clutch, a London-inspired bracelet, and lovely brown oxford shoes. Also, I was very happy with how well my hair curled and wanted to take pictures before all the curls flattened!

Hope you enjoyed!
Love, Lucero
