Kid in A Candy Shop

At the beginning of the blog we had a Goodies Galore post, things based off of Esty.  Well I am going to do another one, but this time it's based off of Alice in Wonderland.

As you know this has nothing to do with fashion, but it was kinda like a mood board because I take inspiration for my outfits from fairytales.  Also, tommorow I am going to a costume party as Alice and I am so exited to go.  I mean costumes are the best thing the world has in my opinion!

What do you like to dress up like? My second choice would be Harry Potter just saying HP is awesome

Bye!

The fifties skirt revolution


Well I decided to do this post with my new stuff, yay.  Well ok so on Sunday we decided to go shopping with our collection of gift cards received from Christmas.  So while prosing through the store, I came across this perfect skirt.  I absolutely love the fifties, well I mean don't we all.  So I bought the skirt because it struck me as something based off of the skirts from the 50's.  So I decided to do a comparison.

The Skirt I bought


Then we went to Urban Outfitters, also with gift cards.  I needed to get a dress for an up and coming project.  My teacher wanted us to look really weird.   The project was inspired by Dada.  So I found this cute dress, that is optical illusiony, my own made up word for it.  Based on how far away you are from the dress the pattern changes.
The dress I bought
Well anyways I found some cute stuff that I plan to buy online from Forever 21 and I think I should show you them...











I'm Kinda seeing a polka dot pattern going on here do you see it too?

Now I need Your opinion to decide which ones should stay and which ones should go!

Sorry the Post was long but I haven't posted in a while and I thought it would do me well to post things like this

P.S. I am going to be in Rome in 2 weeks and Probably will take pictures of what everyone I see is wearing.  I may or may not do a post based on how cute the clothes are and if I can kinda put together the Rome Fashion trends.

Bye!

Eddie Borgo pre-fall 2012


Yes you guessed it, it is the Eddie Borgo pre-fall collection (hence the name of the post).  His collection seems to be going for a gold Mayan appeal.  With some pyramids and designs that look like they should be from a Mayan temple.
Some of them also look like they are inspired by doors * Knock Knock* Any one home.  One of them I seriously just wanted to make my door knockers.  Another is the perfect lock.  Try to crack that one James Bond.

Lastly, my favorite pieces, I love the fact that they did a New York City charm bracelet.  They hinted that there may be a Hong Kong one too, time will tell.  But, the earrings must be the best in the collection for me.  I wish I could have them, I would wear them everywhere.  The dangleness, if that is a word, is at 100% and should be given credit for being awesome.  However, the only thing is that it is a very basic earring design, every store seems has their own version of those earrings.
I really don't feel that this collection took risks, I mean it is epic, but not fresh.  Each of these have been done before and have been showcased in every store.  However, I believe that this collection does tinker each design to near perfection, and have done the best possible with the idea.

Goodies Galore!!

I was on Etsy today and found the cutest goodies. The items I chose were based around this french village. Besides looking at these goodies galore, I recommend you go and check out Etsy.











These pictures make me want to just sit down in a rocking chair knitting, in a little run down house in France. I know this post isn't really about fashion but Etsy is a place where you can find some accessories or even clothing to go with any personality.

Hair Genius

Some are math or science geniuses, but Nagi Noda was a hair genius. While some can barely brush their hair in the morning, she would use hair to make hats or sculptures. Her work is true art and should be recognized by all. Enough with all this talking, lets get to these amazing pieces of artwork that I'm talking about.





Besides making hair hats, she made Hanpandas. They are a combination of a panda and some other animal. At first when you see a hanpanda, it may look creepy but then the little half pandas grow on you.  Then it comes to the point that you have to own one, and I do need to own one.


This is the selection page that pops up on Nagi Noda's web site when you want to look at a Hanpanda.


                                             These are some examples of the Hanpandas.
You can still buy some of her stuff but she sadly died at 35 after surgery complications after a car accident. In honor of Nagi Noda, don't think of this as a post, but a tribute to her great work and success.

Forgive Me

This post is way over-due. I hope I can make up for the fact that I'm so late in this post with the collection I'm about to present. The genius collection I'm talking about is the Prada spring 2011 ready-to-wear. The collection was full of cheerful eccentric colors, detailed patterns, and futuristic seeming shapes.






This last image is my favorite!!
If I could, I would own every piece in this collection. I love how when you first glance at the collection it seems slightly serious but when you go and look at all the patterns, colors, and shapes you get this feel of someone who wants to look serious at work but is trying to cover the longing they have to dress really free and look like a really fun person. Ooh how I long to own a pair of those eye ware in the first image.
