Let's just say "almost-monochrome"

Here is one of my #ootod's: AKA outfit of the other day...what I wore last Monday to keep off the rain, and with a little more bundling it will work for snow!

On those day's when you don't want to get out of bed, think almost-monochrome:

Longsleeve-Forever 21, Jacket-Kardashian Kollection, Black pants-Calvin Klein, Boots-Hunter, Bag-H&M, Jewelry-Vintage, Lipstick-Rimmel no. 10

Another fashion-week post to come :)

Outfit post! -'Look like you stepped from a magazine'

Magazines are so full of inspiration, you can almost drown in all the beautiful pictures and clothes they showcase. I'm definitely one for originality and not always following trends, but there's also nothing wrong with looking like a hot cover shot, now is there?

This outfit was first inspired by Ashley Greenes outfit on Seventeen in November, I'm obsessed with black and red, so I thought I would do my own take after seeing this cover.

 

At the same time I was also swooning over Taylor Swifts spread in Glamour (I'm often told I look like her) so the below photo was my take on one of my favorites from the spread: 

Once again, see my inspiration? I love red! And Taylor is all about red, plus I love sequins and this cropped black sequin top with peekaboo shoulders (Forever 21) is sparkly and subtly sexy, and was only $17. 

-I cropped a close up of this just so I could show you my vintage jewelry, all family heirlooms.-

The A-Line skirt is one of my favorite parts of this outfit, it always photographs with such flow and ease. The lace up booties battle for favorite because they are my go-to shoes. They were also the most expensive part of this outfit, but still only $35 at Forever21.com, where I first found I had to have them.

Here are some extras from my shoot:

Thank you millions to my absolutely amazing photographer friend, and I cant wait to keep working with her, please like her page on Facebook to see even more pictures!

Butterfly Appliqué Dress//McQueen Inspiration

We saw this McQueen floral applique dress with its black tulle (both two of my favorite things) on the Fall runway this year, and I was immediately in LOVE.

 I idolize this dress; anything colorful and with 3D appeal is hard to find, and that's one reason why I love dresses with appliques that pop out at you, such as flowers and butterfly's. This dress is especially great because of all the different ways you could wear it, I think these celebrities agree: 

(and yes, almost all these pictures are on my bedroom wall).

Victoria Justice 

Rita Ora 

Even before I saw this dress, I had loved the idea of mixed media dresses. It would be amazing to have a custom senior homecoming dress, one like no other, and one even more special if it was my own design. So I came up with one.

Imagine a high-low dress with maybe some tulle, definite volume, and beautiful silk butterfly's climbing up one strap. What do you all think? And what was your favorite 2012 runway look?
