Last Minute Memorial Day Looks!

So here you are, rambling through your wardrobe on memorial day looking for an outfit to wear in those Instagram worthy photos. Don't worry it happens to the best of us. Here are some last minute ideas.

 

Vintage Ice!

Here is a look I created using these vintage shoes I found in my mother's closet. The top was collected from a thrifting trip and the ice blue skirt is from PacSun.

Vampire Slave

If we could name some of the sexiest creatures on this planet (real or fake) we would have a long list ranging from mermaids to pirates and women of course. But what about the ones we are scorned to stay away from but can't seem to resist, like vampires. They are so inviting, and persuasive. They convey a mystery that leaves many curious; which is why their  seductive eyes, and sharp fangs trap us every time. Seriously, they can teach us a lot about the art of persuasion, and the first course would be the look. Vampires have a unique confidence that can be seen through their clothing. Exotic jewelry and head pieces play a huge role in the female's look. The male can usually be seen in capes, chains and rings. Leather, black, and long pointy nails are also key components in both male and female looks. The pieces are edgy, and they fit just comfortably on their amazing bodies; which brings us to the most important rule: less is always sexier.

Androgynous Style

Live In Concert!

Today was a rainy day and I spent most of it rambling through my wardrobe, so I decided to style a look inspired by this fringed tank from Pacific Sunwear. The image is a raging lion, with the word LIVE at the top and the words IN CONCERT hiding in the fringes at the bottom. This tank felt like "working hard" and "wanting more". I decided to go with dark colors around my eyes to draw attention to the fire I felt erupting from them; as if I was looking at the top of two volcanoes from a straight on bird's eye view. With my hair, I went for an undone look. Not bed hair though, more like busy hair. I chose a plum lip color and smudged a bit of it off to add to the look. Overall I love this look. I feel sexy and I didn't want to stop taking photos :)

Tips from this look:
£ wear dark makeup to concerts. It works well with dancing lights and draws attention to your eyes.
£ whenever you style a messy hairstyle, pair it with a dark lip color and smudge it a bit.

Holiday Fever

On the Second day of December, the weather gave to me...

Standing Out: The Town That Always Sleeps

 

 

These photos were inspired by a dead town. Usually when people come across a dead, empty town, they instinctively believe they are lost. Which is how I feel and I've been here my entire life. Being here is bitter sweet. I love the country. The gigantic trees, beautiful skies, and amazing antiques. But being here makes it hard to network with people who are on the same path as I am. For this reason, I find that I always stand out here. Not just against the crowd, but against the scenery...
