~I Don't Need To Chop Off My Hair...I Just Need New Accessories Dammit~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

You'll find boredom where there is the absence of a good idea” -Earl Nightingale

Scene: Glamour Whore in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Her very long, thick hair divided into sections. Cutting shears in hand. Phone rings. GW contemplates letting it go to voicemail but reconsiders and answers the call from a good friend.

Glamour Whore: Hello...
Friend: What's good? Watcha doin?
Glamour Whore: I'm about to cut my hair.
Friend: How short?!
Glamour Whore: Fairly short. Bob-like.
Friend: WHAT?!?! Hell No!! Don't do it... You'll regret it.
Glamour Whore: Hmmmm...maybe your right. I just...
Friend: Just what?
Glamour Whore: I don't know... Need a change or something. I'm bored.
Friend: Bored? With your hair?
Glamour Whore: Good question... I don't know. Just bored.
Friend: Well, if you cut off all that hair because you're bored... you're gonna be mad tomorrow.
Glamour Whore: Hmmmm....you might be right. I'll call you back...kisses.

So I started thinking. I wasn't bored with my hair. I was just bored. I needed something... Makeup? nope. As a Pro MUA I have literally every cosmetic product available. Clothes/Shoes? Nope. My bedroom is jam packed. Couldn't fit another piece of clothing or another pair of shoes in it if I tried...

I know!!!! Accessories. Yup. One thing I learned early on in life from my fashionable female family members: When looking to change up your style, look no further than new accessories. A new collection of belts, jewelry, hats, scarves, etc can revamp your whole look/wardrobe.

I thought to myself... I don't need to chop off my hair, I just need some new "head/hair" accessories. Now if only I had enough self control to stop at my head. But...nope. That's not my style...

I ended up finding a few necklaces, rings, bracelets, hell...I even found a harness I must have. Yes. A Harness... Let me share my findings...

Hair/Head/Ear Area: (Found at Shopbop)

I love the turban...



For My Neck/Chest Area: (Again... Shopbop)

This is my FAVORITE.... It can be made with any number you choose.



The Harness:


Finger/Wrist Area (Yes, you guessed it... Shopbop)



And I will add these accessories to my signature outfit: a wifebeater, a great fitting pair of jeans, fierce boots, a luxe bag and my trademark pink lips:

~Betsey Johnson + The Plaza + Lots Of Pink = Picture Perfect~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

FYI: In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color "hot pink" to western fashion. She dubbed the shade "Shocking Pink," though today the color is more well-known as "magenta."

World renowned fashion photographer chose The Plaza Hotel NYC as the scene of his latest photo-story. The subject? The uber-fab Betsey Johnson. The plot? Johnson and models Jessica, Aymalina, Daria P and Rachel Ballinger wearing pieces from the legendary designers Spring 2010 Collection... The result? Confectioned Perfection...

~Solve Sundsbo Colorfully Captures Karen Elson~

“The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.”
-Henri Matisse
French Fauvist Painter and Sculptor, 1869-1954

Photographer Solve Sundsbo captured a wonderfully colorful Karen Elson in these dramatic pix that make me happy...it's like the big Crayola Crayon box (the one with 64 colors and built-in sharpener) comes to life on her damn near perfect face...so glam.

~Artist Alex Box Takes Makeup Art To A New Level~

a·vant-garde (ävänt-gärd, vänt-)
n.
A group active in the invention and application of new techniques in a given field, especially in the arts.

adj.
Of, relating to, or being part of an innovative group, especially one in the arts: avant-garde painters; an avant-garde theater piece.

[French, from Old French, vanguard; see vanguard.]


The term "Makeup artist" doesn't quite do Alex Box justice. I would call her a "makeup visionary". She takes the art of applying makeup to a whole new level and the result of her technique and talent is very avante-garde. Her visions and the ensuing results are captured by photographer Rankin in her self titled book. Have a look...

~Femme Metale~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

"I lick the gun
When I’m done
Cause I know
That revenge is sweet
So sweet"
-"G4L" Rihanna "Rated R" (Album)

At least once a week Riri wears something that makes me say "OH MY GOD" in a high-pitched nasally voice reminiscent of "Janice" from "Friends". Which means I really, really, really like it... This week she didn't disappoint. Her outfits for her "Rated R" album release parties (Yes, plural. She had 2 parties...DIVA) damn near put me in a coma brought on by intense jealously. And I knew who designed the ultra-fab metal spike embellished ensembles the minute I saw them. "The Blonds"...whom I believe to be the most underrated fashion designers. They are FABULOUS and people need to recognize (said in my "Tasha Mack" voice)...

Peep the shoes also...AMAZING.



Rihanna isn't the only "Femme Metale"...

La Lopez also loves the metal/stud/spike trend... You can find the following items @ http://www.noirjewelry.com/



This is a bold trend and to really do it justice you have to be all in...no half steppin. So take it over the top with these studded nails that Keedah from "Diary Of A Style Addict" created...

Nice job Keedah...xoxo

~A Heel-less Ruby Slipper?! How Would Dorothy Have Gotten Home?!~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

“Close you eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, there's no place like home.” -"Glinda The Good Witch" to "Dorothy" in "The Wizard Of Oz"


Shoe designer Natacha Marro has designed these fabulous heel-less ruby Mary Janes. Although I'm not sure that were made for walking I would still kill for a pair simply for the fact that they are GORGEOUS... Of course since they are very limited, only 10 pair will be made exclusively for 20LTD.com , I doubt I will be adding them to my shoe collection. *pouting*
