layered tights

Aftermath of my tights experiment. I have two pairs on, layered on top of one another. One of which I ripped and destroyed.

I'm wearing:

american apparel tights

sparkle and fade tank top worn as a skirt

$1.00 vintage blouse

Vogue's accessory file for August 2009 reports on the embellished hosiery trend. Aka I'll be making a few DIY's. xo

Persistency

New shoes are my cure for the blues.

we'll get jacked up on some cheap champagne and let the good times roll

Givency These are precious. I want a pair! The shoes are created from intricately patterned lace with a lace-up front feature, open toe and black leather trim.

A few weeks ago I purchased a faux fur leopard coat at Express. I'll post a photo of it in a week or so. I got it for $20 on sale. The only good thing about a recession is all the ridiculous sales. haha!

Rodarte's Spring 09 collection is to DIE for.

Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.

I am in love with the Penny Lane inspired lookbook. I think it is brilliant. It's bohemian, very unfussy. I love her character in Almost Famous which may be another reason why her look is so appealing. Enjoy! xxo

My personal favorite is the deep coral jumpsuit. Looove that look.
Do you ever get the feeling that you're meant to do something extrodinary? reguardless of what it may be, it's such an empowering feeling.

Current wants:
1. Plain black blazer. H&M
2. Boyfriend for vday (does that count?)
3. American Apparel disco pant

I'm back

Sorry for the extremly long dry spell on here. I haven't had a second to my name, but I'm back.

I have a theory that each year, a new geometric shape dominates the fashion world. 2009 brings supersharp proportions shown at Gaultier, squared off shoulders seem to be appearing more and more. What's your take on square shoulders? I think the idea is very masculine but if paired off with a feminine piece it can be pulled off.

Phillip Lim Spring Collection 09

I feel like liquid. Wish you were here.

I believe as a human being we each need to find an outlet to release. Everything we do on a regular basis is a form of intake. Learning, breathing, seeing, smelling. We take all of that in. Something needs to be let out in return. There needs to be some balance. I am a firm believer in balance. I release through art, fashion, and music. Find an outlet. It will save you.

I took this morning to feng shui my site. I added a little playlist so you can listen to my favourite beats while you read up on some chic new styles. I got some feedback on what you guys would like to see. Shoes galore. I really appreciate feedback, so that was really cool. I was in nyc's manhatten only a few short weeks ago and I found these precious pumps by Burberry:

Can't afford these pricey $940 Burberry Studded Platform Sandals? Jeffery Campbell (love him) put out a similar pair with a more affordable price.

The Sistah Black Leather Strappy Platform. Only $120. You can find these @ http://www.jildorshoes.com/product.cfm/hurl/Sistah_Black_Leather/PI=58068

sleepy bunnys heading back to bed. Todays my last relaxing summer day. Tomorrow's all about errands, picking first day back to school outfit etc! I'll post a photo of my outfit in my next blog. Get excited. I'm off to get a mani/pedi. I'm thinking deep blue. If you haven't already, buy NYC'S nail polish in Skin Tight Denim Creme. It's gorgeous. It's my fav lately.

oxxo, Jac.
