Oh Bondage!

Just a quicky post to test drive my McQ for Target harness dress. I don't know if you've all noticed but at the moment my room sucks for shooting photos and so does my camera. Well that will all change soon and I'm excited. Sometimes I wish I lived in a big old house with tons of space. It's sort of pitiful that I have a BFA in photography and snap myself in a corner with this point & shoot. My self portraiture used to be much more elaborate. Mayyyybe I'll post some one of these days.

Well anyway, here's the damn dress. I like it. I feel tarty wearing it. The McQ for Target collection is crap for the most part but this dress is a keeper.

Psstttsssaturday

I guess wearing disco pants + heels is just asking for honks and kissy noises in this neighborhood. Yes dudes, I've dressed this way for you. I'm gonna run and jump right into your Escalade so we can cruise through the hood while you make those sweet noises at me some more. Mmm. I love how my face looks pissed in these pictures. ANYWAY...

Need more jewelry that doubles as weaponry.

Gonna getcha.

I've got goosebumps.

Dueling Personalities

Paris has done a thorough job reminding me that there are infinite ways you can look like a total badass when dressed in black. I was thinking I was over it but clearly it's impossible to truly tire of. Color? Psht. Black is the cooooolest.

But then...oh DAMN. What Dries Van Noten did with color was absolutely genius. Pop pop pop with some neutrals thrown in. Perfect. Achieving this sort of comfort level with brights and pastels has now moved up to position number one on my to-do list.

Fancy T

The T by Alexander Wang goods arrived in the mail. I have to say that though I still feel a bit guilty caving and buying designer t-shirts, they do beat out a 3-pack of Hanes hands down. Soft, slinky, light basics. This t-shirt dress is preeeetty see-through on it's own, so I'm considering getting the black tank dress from the collection to layer under it. For now, it's still cold out and tights will have to do.

(You'll have to excuse my dear-god-it's-finally-Friday face.)

dress - T by Alexander Wang, boots - Asos, necklace - OathNYC

I realized yesterday that these Asos boots I got back in January remind me quite a bit of the boots seen in yesterday's largely underwhelming Balmain collection. This just proves that everything in that show has been seen before, bleh. Still love my boots though.

Cult Club!

Look what arrived from Japan today!

What a perfect little package to come home to after a slow, long day at work. These earrings are adorable. As seen on Gnarlitude and Cheapstake Chic, Itsumi makes ridiculously cool CC creations that deservedly sell out almost as soon as they go up on Etsy. I'm hoping she restocks her store soon, I'm jonesing for the knitted bag and jumbo CC necklace.

Mmmm PVC

Dear Forever 21,

Please stop luring me in with your cheap crap.





Because I want it. And this confuses me.
